Troy was coming off a double-digit win season and was returning all of their skill talent from a very good offense in 2016. Brandon Silvers was heading into his senior season as a four-year starter and was expected to put up some big numbers. The Trojans were heading to the blue turf in the opener and head coach Neal Brown called it a “measuring stick” game for the program.
We learned the Trojans have a long way to climb.
The Boise State defense absolutely dominated the Trojans from start to finish as the Broncos picked up a nice non-conference win, 24-13.
