As expected, Lindsey and the Trojans dominated the Zips from the very beginning. The Trojans were without their star running back, BJ Smith. However, the impact was minimal in this game.
That said, it will be interesting to see who will be the guy, or guys, in the backfield, moving forward.
Following an Akron 3-and-out to open the game, Troy’s opening drive is capped off by an 8-yard TD throw from Barker to AJ Lewis, his first career reception.
DK Billingsley carried the ball 3 times on the drive as the Trojans go up 7-0 to start the game.
