TROY, Ala. – Coming off back-to-back Sun Belt Conference games, Troy steps back out of conference to rekindle an old rivalry with Western Kentucky in Bowling Green, Ky., on Saturday. Kickoff from Houchens Smith Stadium is set for 6 p.m., and the game will be broadcast on ESPN+.
The non-conference tilt marks the first meeting between Troy (2-2) and WKU (3-1) since 2013 when the schools were both members of the Sun Belt; the Hilltoppers departed the following season for Conference USA.
Troy bounced back from its heartbreaking loss at App State with a solid victory over a Marshall squad that marched into Notre Dame Stadium two weeks earlier and knocked off the No.
