The hometown Tigers must find the same rebound effect that they did in last season's Week 2 . Will they be able to make quick work of the visiting Troy Trojans in the same fashion as 2024's second game? Or will they struggle as they did two seasons ago in their second game of the season? We'll look at the critical boosts that need to be made by offensive coordinator Garrett Riley and head coach Dabo Swinney (and fast).
