Interesting game. Troy last year started off strong, and then was summarily destroyed 59-0 at Nebraska in a game that many predicted would be "competitive." I wonder what they will be like this year.

I don't think Troy will cover, but I think the game will be closer to the 24 point spread Vegas is laying than a 39 point shellacking. Troy's got two backs that oughta get close to 1000 yards this season and a QB that's the returning conference player of the year. And their D is almost always good - that's where the Giants' Umenyiora and the Cowboys' Demarcus Ware came from.

I'll say Arkansas 35, Troy 17.

35 is low considering the Hogs run versus Troy defense. It's Dundee's knife against butter.

Maybe though, if it gets ran up Nutt always throws in 2nd and 3rd teams early.
