LAFAYETTE, La. – Troy scored the game's final 23 points, including Kimani Vidal's game-winning 22-yard touchdown run with five seconds remaining, to rally from a 17-point deficit and stun Louisiana, 23-17, Saturday at Cajun Field. The victory was Troy's sixth straight overall and fifth straight Sun Belt win.
It was Troy's (7-2, 5-1 SBC) largest comeback since 2013, when it trailed UAB 31-14 before eventually winning 34-31. The Trojans remain a half-game ahead of rival South Alabama in the Sun Belt West Division standings and hold the tiebreaker over the Jaguars thanks to the head-to-head victory.
