The Troy football team topped Southern Miss by a score of 37-31 in a last-second thriller on Saturday.
The Trojans jumped out to a first-quarter 17-7 lead after a pair of passing touchdowns from junior quarterback Brandon Silvers. The Golden Eagles (2-1, 0-0 C-USA) trailed the entire first half until the third quarter, when they tied the game at 24 on a 70-yard touchdown run from Ito Smith.
The shootout continued as both teams exchanged touchdowns to make the score 34-31 in the Trojans’ favor as the third quarter came to a close.
