The Troy football team bounced back from its Week 1 loss in dramatic fashion, cruising past in-state foe Alabama State 34-7.
The Trojans (1-1, 0-0 Sun Belt) picked up their first win of the season in front of a record-setting crowd in attendance. An official headcount of 29,278 fans packed Veterans Memorial Stadium to watch Troy tally 605 yards of total offense in its home opener.
Troy was the first on the board, scoring on its first offensive possession. Senior running back Jordan Chunn punched it in from four yards out, the first of three scores on the ground for Chunn.
