Troy State Trojans at Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks Overview
Troy State Trojans
Outside of their opening game beat down suffered at the hands of one of the biggest dogs in the mid-major yard Boise State, the Trojans have resumed business and won their last two contests. First, an easy tune-up win against Florida A&M that saw Troy put up 59 points against the Rattlers. Then, Troy would pull one of the upsets of Week Three with an outright 24-19 win on the road at Nebraska as a 13-point underdog. Such a result is very well likely to set up Troy for an overreaction in their follow-up this week.
Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks
Monroe comes in on a low note after being pummeled in College Station, Texas by the ranked Texas A&M Aggies by a score of 48-10. Previous to this, Monroe had gotten off to a 2-0 start with wins against Southern Mississippi and Southeastern Louisiana.
Reasons to Avoid Troy State
The stock in Troy State is quite high right now and this kind of scenario as a whole, sets up the Trojans for a let-down. Lest we forget that the Trojans had to survive the fourth quarter against the Huskers after building a commanding lead. Needless to say, the emotions of the upset can cause the Trojans to suffer a hangover in their follow-up and potentially come in flat in this fixture.
Reasons to Back Louisiana-Monroe
We have to like to the match-up of Monroe quarterback Caleb Evans against this 83rd ranked passing defense of the Trojans. Evans was one of the Sun Belt’s most prolific passers in 2017 as he completed over 61% of his passes, threw for nearly 3,000 yards, and compiled 17 touchdowns with just six interceptions. With two years of experience under his belt and home cooking behind him, Evans is in a prime position to carve up the Trojan secondary. When you toss in points, we have to like that proposition even more.
