After three consecutive 10-win seasons, the Trojans find themselves 3-5 overall, 1-3 in Sun Belt play with a very challenging stretch ahead, starting with Saturday’s homecoming game against Georgia Southern.
They are coming off a heartbreaking 36-35 loss that came when Coastal Carolina scored a touchdown and added a two-point conversion on its second try, after a Troy penalty, with 30 seconds remaining.
So, sure, it’s natural to wonder about players turning on each other, or becoming more selfish, or wonder what calamity is going to happen next.
