It was not a hail mary not matter how much you want it to be. It was scripted play to #3 Eric Thomas, our best receiver. No one else was going to be considered for that ball. That's not how hail mary's work. We were inside the 50 at that. Was it the last play of the game, all or nothing? Yes. I thought it was pretty crazy that Robinson got the ball off milliseconds before that extra pass rusher got there. Luckily our 5-4 170 (I have seen him in real life, he is that short) pound running back Khari Franklin sniffed it out and threw a block at him just in time. One for the ages.

Your team lucked out on two extremely pivotal plays last season that resulted in TDs and a fumble near the red zone that would have had Troy go up 24-7 (They went up 24-7 the next series anyway). And you still lost. No matter how bad we were, you were lucky for it to even be that close. That tells me your team was not as good as you think they are, and to base your prediction on that might not result in what you would like it to. Teams don't usually get lucky twice in a row.

Your offense has me worried, but lucky for us we have an offense just as good or better. Your defense doesn't scare me because we can and will score in droves against anyone. We didn't score less than 32 vs any of our SBC opponents last season. If Troy lucks up and gets a defense this season its ce la vie for just about everyone. Good luck in all but one!
