Offensively, the Trojans are averaging 39.2 points per game thanks to QB Brandon Silvers and RB Jordan Chunn. The duo have combined to account for 19 of the touchdowns Troy has put up this year and they’re finding success in a pretty balanced way.
Troy has averaged 264 yards passing, while rushing for 200.
South Alabama Jaguars
South Alabama has been the complete opposite of Troy.
The Jags are 3-3 on the season, but have 3 losses in Sun Belt play that have them reeling at the moment. South Alabama comes in off a loss to Arkansas State, that saw them put up just 7 points.
Scoring has been the biggest issue for this Jags team, as they have averaged only 23.8 points per game.
[dfads params=’groups=219&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
Defensively, they haven’t been so bad. South Alabama has given up 25.5 points per game and only 363 yards per game.
Look for them to lean on QB Dallas Davis here, who has been the main spark plug to this offense when this team scores.
Davis was the main culprit however for the struggles last week, as he had just 146 yards while throwing for an interception.
Davis will need to get in rhythm early, as his run game doesn’t do him any favors. Troy is averaging under 100 yards per game on the ground.
