Troy Defense Shines in Debut over Southern

TROY – Troy's 55 points in Saturday night's lopsided victory over Southern University was impressive enough. But anyone paying attention to the Trojans' offensive production under Chip Lindsey likely wasn't shocked.

That was the seventh time Troy has scored 40 or more points in a game and the 16th time the Trojans had topped 30 points under Lindsey, who kicked off his third season and 24th game overall in Troy.

The more eye-opening aspect came on the right side of the 55-3 victory. Troy held Southern to just 189 yards of total offense, the fewest by an opponent since Campbell managed just 143 in the 2019 season opener.
