College football history is littered with classic upsets.
Just look back to 2007. Stanford beat USC. Appalachian State beat Michigan. And Boise State beat Oklahoma.
Troy, Southern Miss’ opponent Saturday (6 p.m. kickoff), came within a touchdown and an extra point of adding its name to the list of Davids that have conquered a Goliath. The Trojans went on the road last week and took then-No. 2 Clemson to the wire, falling 30-24 to the defending College Football Playoff runner-up.
A member of the Sun Belt Conference, Troy (1-1) is coming off a 4-8 season but grabbed plenty of attention because of last week’s performance against the Tigers and their Heisman Trophy candidate, quarterback Deshaun Watson.
