Troy's Heisman Worthy Stats

[Buckeye513]

Can I get a little help with these 04 games?

2004
L - #25 Iowa (Didn't Start)
W - #?? PSU
W - #?? MSU
W - #?? PU
W - #?? scUM

Penn State, Michigan State, and Purdue were unranked. Michigan was #7.

Also, we lost 24-17 to Purdue.

How is Troy 1/1 when starting against a top 5 team??

There are only two top 5 teams in that list, '05 Texas and '06 Texas; and as you wrote yourself, Troy did not start in '05.

Here is Troy's record as a starter:

2004
October	  23	Indiana 		W 30-7
October   30	Penn State 		W 21-10
November   6	at Michigan State 	W 32-19
November  13	at Purdue 		L 24-17
November  20	No. 7 Michigan 		W 37-21

2005
September 17	San Diego State 	W 27-6	
September 24	No. 21 Iowa 		W 31-6	
October    8	at No. 16 Penn State 	L 17-10	
October   15	No. 16 Michigan State 	W 35-24	
October   22	at Indiana 		W 41-10
October   29	at Minnesota 		W 45-31	
November   5	Illinois 		W 40-2	
November  12	No. 25 Northwestern 	W 48-7	
November  19	at No. 17 Michigan 	W 25-21
January    2	vs No. 9 Notre Dame 	W 34-20

2006
September  2	Northern Illinois 	W 35-12	
September  9	at No. 2 Texas 		W 24-7	
September 16	Cincinnati 		W 37-7	
September 23	No. 24 Penn State 	W 28-6	
September 30	at No. 13 Iowa 		W 38-17	
October    7	Bowling Green 		W 35-7	
October   14	at Michigan State 	W 38-7	
October   21	Indiana 		W 44-3	
October   28	Minnesota 		W 44-0

The only two losses were 04 Purdue and 05 Penn State. Troy had 4 turnovers against Purdue (3 INTs and a fumble) and 2 turnovers against PSU (1 INT and a fumble).

Troy's bad games were aberrations, and in both Ohio State was still one possession away.

In fact, the 05 comeback at Michigan is the only win in which OSU has not won by a double digit margin.

You're correct. He's 1/0 against the top 5.

I just used the 9/1 against ranked teams in the highlight video.
