SAN MARCOS, Texas – Kaleb Barker threw six touchdown passes – five in the first half – to tie the Troy single-game record as the Trojans systematically dismantled Texas State, 63-27, Saturday afternoon at Bobcat Stadium.
Troy's 63 points were its most ever in a Sun Belt game and most overall since putting 66 on the board against Savanna State in 2013. The tally ranks as the fifth most in a Sun Belt Conference game in league history and 16th most in the country this year.
Barker's six touchdowns tie Troy Sports Hall of Fame member Sim Byrd for the school record; Byrd did so during Troy's 1968 National Championship run.
