Troy seniors remember, respect Southern Miss
Troy senior safety Melvin Tyus, shown making a tackle against Campbell, had a big impact the last time the Trojans played Southern Mississippi in 2016.That was the final when Troy and the Golden Eagles last played, on Sept. 17, 2016 in Hattiesburg, Miss.
“We played them a few years ago down there at their place,” said Tyus, one of Troy’s permanent captains this season who played as a redshirt freshman in that game. “We had a (pregame) rain delay. It was a well-fought game and we came out with the victory.
“We know these guys are going to come in here and try to defeat us the same way we did them. We respect them a lot and look forward to the challenge.”
