Troy football earned its first win of the Chip Lindsey era with a 43-14 win over the Campbell Camels.
Lindsey becomes the first Troy head coach to win in his debut game since Larry Blakeney in 1991.
The offense dominated with 527 total yards, including 305 yards in the second half, and the defense stifled the Camels to just 143 total yards.
Senior quarterback Kaleb Barker was playing in his first game since his injury suffered at the midway point of last season and picked up where he left off.
Barker completed 18 of 29 passes for 282 yards and two touchdowns.
