The Troy Trojans captured the Battle of the Belt for the first time since 2013, as they escaped the South Alabama by a score of 28-21 in Mobile.
The intense conference and in-state rivalry went down to the final seconds before junior running back Jordan Chunn scored on a one-yard TD run with 1:20 left in the game.
The Trojans (6-1, 4-0 Sun Belt) are the first Sun Belt team to become bowl eligible this season.
