In the span of a week, Troy quarterback Taylor Powell experienced the euphoria of an ideal start to the Trojans' season and a frustrating night in their loss to Liberty.
One gets the feeling a lot is on the line in Troy's first road game of the season this Saturday when the Trojans face Southern Miss in Hattiesburg at 6 p.m.
"Obviously, we didn't get the win – which is disappointing – but lots to learn from and really some good teaching moments from that game that I think will help us as we move forward," Troy head coach Chip Lindsey said earlier this week.
