TROY, Ala. – Troy's future football schedules have begun to take shape over the past two months with the announcement of 10 new non-conference matchups to take place over the coming years. Prior to the recent string of game announcements, Troy released several key non-conference matchups including a four-game series with Southern Miss.
Prior to a home-and-home series the schools concluded last season, Troy and Southern Miss had met just once since 1977 when they played in the 2008 New Orleans Bowl. The Trojans defeated the Golden Eagles, 37-31, in Hattiesburg in 2016 to kickstart a seven-game winning streak that landed the Trojans in the AP Top 25.
