TROY – Troy head coach Neal Brown’s spread offense typically gives defenses fits, but when the Trojans can run the football they are even more difficult to beat.
Troy has rushed for 150 yards or more 18 times in Brown’s three-plus years leading the Trojans. They are 18-0 when hitting that benchmark.
The Trojans (4-1, 2-0) will test the ground tonight when Georgia State comes to Veterans Memorial Stadium for a prime time Sun Belt Conference game televised on ESPNU.
The Panthers (2-3, 1-0) have had trouble stopping the run this season. They rank 118th (out of 129 FBS schools) in rushing defense.
