In case you missed it, this was arguably one of the best and more exciting games of the day. Troy and USM combined for 89 points, tied for the highest scoring game of the weekend with Arkansas and Colorado State.
The offenses actually got off to a fairly slow start as it took nearly ten minutes into the first quarter for a team to find the end zone. That team was USM as they jumped out to a 14-7 lead at the end of the quarter.
Star running back B.J. Smith exited early in the first quarter after Barker left one high for him off of a flea-flicker.
