The Troy football team scored 31 points in the first half and made key defensive plays on its way to defeating arch-rival South Alabama 38-17 on Tuesday night.
With the win, the Trojans move to 4-0 in Sun Belt Conference play and into a three-way tie for first place in the Sun Belt East.
The Trojans are now 6-2 overall and have achieved bowl eligibility for the third season in a row under head coach Neal Brown.
“The standard here is we expect to win every game,” Brown said.
