“There was some good … and the ugly part was the penalties, and that was on both sides,” Trojans head coach Neal Brown said, referencing the Trojans’ 14 flags for 153 yards. “With that said, it’s a win.”
Troy started quickly on offense with a 48-yard touchdown run from Jordan Chunn on its first play of the game, and the Trojans opened a 13-0 lead after quarterback Brandon Silvers connected with Emanuel Thompson for a 3-yard touchdown with 5:48 left in the first quarter.
But behind junior college transfer Tommy Hays, though, the Governors kept the Trojans’ senior-laden defense off balance.
