TROY — Linebacker Terris Lewis’ head was on his pillow Sunday night when his thoughts kicked back to the day Troy’s fortunes started to turn.

A year ago, the Trojans were coming off a 45-point win over a Sun Belt lightweight when they traveled to a conference power — and almost pulled off a grand upset.

Troy, a three-touchdown underdog, lost in triple overtime at Appalachian State, but it stoked confidence that fueled the Trojans into this season.

A year later, Troy and Appalachian State play again, vying for the Sun Belt Conference lead, in quite a turnaround.
