Troy scheduled opener moved back to Dec. 5
Troy’s scheduled opener next week against Louisiana-Monroe at Veterans Memorial Stadium has been moved to Dec. 5, announced Troy Thursday afternoon.
The school, in a press release, said positive teats at ULM- followed by contract tracing, quarantines, and return to play protocols – necessitated the rescheduling of the game.
The contest was originally scheduled for next Saturday, Sept. 5 at 6 p.m. It will now be played on Dec. 5 at 2:30 p.m.
The Trojans will now open the season on Sept. 19 at Middle Tennessee State. The move also pushes Troy’s home opener to Thursday, Oct. 8 against Texas State, a game that will be televised nationally by ESPNU.
