Sun Belt Showdown: Which Team Will Seize the Unexpected Opportunity and Dominate This Season?

One exciting thing: In his second year, coach Gerad Parker has a bit of a foundation in place, with five returning starters on both sides from a team that went 4-8. Quarterback Goose Crowder, formerly of WVU, was supposed to be the guy last year but got injured. He was the team’s most productive quarterback in his limited action, and he should provide a higher floor than Matthew Caldwell did last year.  

Player to watch: I expect Troy to lean heavily on Rara Thomas, the former Georgia (and Mississippi State) receiver whom the Dawgs dismissed after a second arrest on domestic violence charges. Another power conference transfer from the Peach State, Georgia Tech running back Trey Cooley, will see lots of carries.

  • 2024 final TRACR rank: 12th (10th OFF, 11th DEF)
  • 2025 preseason TRACR rank: 10th (4th OFF, 12th DEF)

One scary thing: The defense was terrible in Dell McGee’s first year, letting up a 44.1% success rate, second-worst in the conference. A handful of the unit’s better players transferred to power conference destinations. It’s unknown if Georgia State will be able to stop anybody at all.
