GAME NOTES: Two undefeated teams in the Sun Belt Conference will collide this Saturday when the Troy Trojans host the Florida International Golden Panthers at Movie Gallery Veteran Stadium. After opening the year with three consecutive losses, the Golden Panthers have turned the tide, winning three straight contests, including a 31-21 victory over Middle Tennessee this past weekend. FIU already has two road win this season, which is more than the team's total number of victories away from home from 2005 to 2007 (1-18). As for the Trojans, they snapped a two-game losing skid with a solid, 30-17 victory over Florida Atlantic this past Tuesday. This is just the second home matchup of the season for Troy, which usually does well at home, posting an 8-2 ledger over the two previous campaigns. In terms of the all-time series between the two schools on the gridiron, the Trojans have won all four meetings.

Although the Golden Panthers have won three straight games, the team has still struggled to find consistency on offense, as the team is producing just 244.5 total ypg, but that has led to a mediocre 21.2 ppg. The ground game has been nonexistent, as the Panthers are rushing for only 92.8 ypg behind just 2.6 ypc. The passing attack has been just as embarrassing, as FIU is producing just 151.7 ypg via the pass. This past weekend against MT the Golden Panthers put forth a solid effort however, racking up 335 total yards en route to a 31-21 victory. Paul McCall did most of the damage, as the quarterback threw for 223 yards and one touchdown, while also pacing the team with 53 rushing yards and another score. Unfortunately McCall has not performed at a high level throughout the season, as the signal caller has completed just 47.5 percent of his throws for a meager 729 yards. After six games, McCall has thrown for just six touchdowns against six interceptions.

On the other side of the football the Golden Panthers have been just as inconsistent, as the team is surrendering 364.8 total ypg, which has led to 24.3 ppg. FIU's defense is being abused for 156.2 ypg on the ground, while also allowing 208.7 ypg through the air. Surprisingly the defense has forced 16 turnovers on the year, but at the same time the Golden Panthers have struggled to put pressure on the QB, racking up just eight sacks. In the win over MT, the Golden Panthers had possibly their best defensive showing of the season, holding the Blue Raiders to just 243 total yards, including just 72 passing yards. FIU was able to force three turnovers in the victory, and also held the Blue Raiders to just 5-of-14 on third down attempts.

Unlike their counterpart, the Trojans have a very dangerous and balanced attack, as the squad is averaging an impressive 425.4 total ypg, which has led to an equally strong 32.0 ppg. Troy has rumbled for 190.6 ypg on the ground, while also throwing for a solid 234.8 ypg through the air. DuJuan Harris has been the main option in the backfield for the Trojans, as the tailback has gashed opponents for 342 yards and four TDs. Quarterback Jamie Hampton has added 236 yards and four scores on the ground, but the signal caller has also thrown for 1,046 yards thus far. Hampton also has nine touchdowns to his name, but has thrown eight interceptions. In the recent win over FAU, the Trojans used a heavy dose of its ground game, rushing for 233 yards and three touchdowns. Hampton led the way with 61 yards and two touchdowns, while Harris added 60 yards and one score on 18 totes.

On top of the strong offensive play, the Troy defense has also done a solid job this year, allowing a mediocre 336.6 total ypg, and 23.4 ppg. The Trojans are being gashed for 151.8 ypg on the ground this year, but the team has performed well against the pass, limiting teams to just 184.8 ypg. Troy has forced the big play defensively as well, racking up 13 turnovers, but pressuring the quarterback has been a different story, as the Trojans currently have just 10 sacks. Surprisingly the Trojans allowed 283 passing yards against FAU, but despite the lackluster effort against the pass, the Trojans still walked away with a 30-17 win. The victory was mainly due to the team's ability to force three turnovers, while also recording four sacks.

The Golden Panthers have played well over the past few weeks, but the Trojans have far too much firepower and should be able to grab a solid victory on their home field.
