After defending for 81 plays, more than 36 minutes and holding off South Alabama with a final fourth-down stop, there was one final sprint for the Troy defense at the end of Saturday's 31-24 victory.
It was an all-out dash down the home sideline to the North End Zone, where The Belt was waiting.
Defensive lineman Will Choloh won the sprint and held the coveted Belt – the prize awarded annually to the victor in this spirited rivalry – high over his head with two hands securing it.
Teammates danced around while the Troy offense was running out the clock.
