TROY, Ala. – Troy has a history of upsetting ranked teams. Saturday afternoon at Veterans Memorial Stadium, the latest chapter was almost written with a furious fourth quarter comeback before No. 11 Coastal Carolina escaped with a 42-38 victory.
The Trojans used a clutch interception from Carlton Martial and an epic late-game drive authored by backup quarterback Jacob Free to take a 38-35 lead with 1:20 to play in the game.
With their backs against the wall, Grayson McCall and the Chants authored a clutch 5-play, 75-yard drive that ended with a 23-yard slant to Jaivon Heiligh with 35 seconds to play.
