TROY, Ala. – It's no secret that Troy had one of the nation's top defensive units last year, and it is also no secret that Troy will have to replace some of the key cogs in the front seven that made the Trojan machine churn in 2022.
The Trojans held all 14 of their opponents to under their season average in scoring, including three of the top 25 scoring teams in the country – UTSA, Western Kentucky and App State. The Trojans limited UTSA to just 10 offensive points in the Cure Bowl, with three of those 10 points coming on a 4-play, 7-yard drive following a turnover; the Roadrunners entered the game averaging 38.
