After only their second losing season in the last seven years in 2005, The Trojans overhauled the offense. Troy has never been famous for offense, but could be during the 2006 season. Tony Franklin will manage the spread offense after being hired by Larry Blakeney, which should make eight returnees on offense pretty happy. Quarterback Omar Haugabook got the offense down fast in spring drills, a good sign for this team considering they have the Sun Belt Conference's most experienced wide receiver corps. Definitely a perfect time to alter offensive philosophies. The offense should start clicking once Sun Belt Conference play picks up, and pass the pathetic sixteen points per game it recorded last season.

There are a number of holes on the defense in the front seven, but the secondary is in good shape, with six of their top eight returning. For a change, the Trojans defense might have to look to the offense to keep them in games in 2006. Head coach Blakeney always runs solid defensive clubs, though, so this unit should start peaking come Sun Belt Conference time. The Trojans play host to the predicted top teams in the conference, so it's conceivable they could contend for top Sun Belt Conference honors. However, the offensive changes and lack of experience on defense means 2006 could result in a so-so year, with rewards coming in later seasons.
