MOBILE, Ala. – Sawyer Smith threw for four scores and the Trojans defense forced four turnovers as Troy won its school record fourth-straight bowl game, 42-32, over Buffalo Saturday in the Dollar General Bowl at Ladd-Peebles Stadium.
Troy (10-3) broke the 10-win threshold for the third-straight season – 31 wins in all – after a dominating second-half performance that limited Buffalo (10-4) to just 8:11 of possession. Both the three straight 10-win seasons and 31 wins are school records.
Smith, who earned MVP honors, had a career game passing the ball, as the sophomore completed 31 passes on 44 attempts.
