The competition for Troy is about to pick up.
The Trojans got off to a slow start in their opener against Nicholls and were actually trailing the FCS team 10-7 at halftime. A 28-point fourth quarter would then push Troy to a 38-20 win.
The Trojans almost had as many penalty yards (100) as passing yards (144), but ultimately found a way. Head coach Gerad Parker knows his team has to play much better is they have any shot at competing against the eighth-ranked Tigers on Saturday.
“We have our hands full,” the head coach told the media on Monday.
