TROY, Ala. – Thirty seconds. Thirty-five seconds. The time remaining on the clock the last two seasons when Coastal Carolina scored its game-winning touchdowns against Troy; the games were decided by a combined five points.
The Trojans have their shot at redemption in front of a nationally televised audience on ESPN2 Thursday night as they travel to Conway, S.C., and the teal turf of Brooks Stadium for a showdown with the 24th-ranked Chanticleers. Kickoff is slated for 6:30 p.m. (CT).
Troy rallied from a 12-point deficit with five minutes to play last season before a 23-yard touchdown pass by Grayson McCall with 35 seconds left pushed Coastal Carolina in front.
