TROY, Ala. – Troy fought back to outgain No. 21 Ole Miss in the second half of the season opener, but a three-drive spurt in the middle of the opening 30 minutes was enough for the Rebels to come away with a 28-10 victory Saturday at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.
Troy (0-1) forced three second half turnovers, all within four drives of each other, and held Ole Miss (1-0) to just seven points and 165 yards in the second half.
"I'm really disappointed in the loss," Troy head coach John Sumrall said. "Our goal was come in here and win the game.
