LINCOLN, Neb. – The giant killers struck again, this time in Lincoln, Neb., as Troy went into Memorial Stadium and knocked off Nebraska, 24-19, for its second straight victory over a Power Five opponent; Troy defeated LSU last season in Tiger Stadium.
"I'm proud of our guys," Troy head coach Neal Brown said. "I thought we showed tremendous grit and determination. Our guys fully expected to come in here and compete and have the opportunity to win in the fourth quarter and that's what we did. We've been nationally ranked, we've beaten LSU at LSU. Our guys have really improved over the last two weeks.
