BATON ROUGE, La. – The clock hit zero and the Troy Trojans raced toward the thick congregation of red making all the noise and doing all the celebrating in the south end zone of Tiger Stadium.
Troy 24, No. 25 LSU 21. By then, there weren’t many remaining of the 99,879 who attended the opening kickoff. Nobody in the Troy section had left, however.
From the very first play from scrimmage, this was Troy’s night – fans, coaches and players.
Safety Cedarius Rookard made a jarring hit on first-time starter Nick Brossette. The running back coughed up the football and Kris Weatherspoon jumped on it for Troy at the LSU 30.
