The Troy Trojans picked up a hard-fought win in Bowling Green, Kentucky on Saturday as they downed the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers 34-27.
It was a redemption story for Troy quarterback Jarret Doege, who transferred in from Western Kentucky just before the season began. Doege threw two touchdown passes in the fourth quarter after Trojans’ starting quarterback Gunnar Watson left with an injury.
Doege completed seven passes on eight attempts with two touchdown passes, plus 71 yards through the air. Watson completed 15 of 28 passes for 202 yards and an interception. Receiver Tez Johnson also threw a touchdown pass on a trick play.
