UAB was up 21 points and decided that throwing the ball was a good idea and 3 ints later they were behind. Game changed on a dime and the Trojans held onto win the in state rivalry game. Coach Justgiver31 is already on the hot seat after 2 sub par games to start the season. He will just have to look in the morror and make some mjuch needed adjustments
Troy completes an improbable come from behind win against newly renewed rival UAB. QB Goose Crowder continues to disappoint adding 3 more interceptions giving him a putrid 0 TD / 7 INT stat line for the season. Despite the Trojans inability to throw the ball the running game continues to shine as starting HB Damien Taylor eclipsed the 200 rushing yard mark and added 2 more TDs to his season total.
This game looked well in hand as UAB settled for a surrender FG at the goal line late in the 2nd quarter to bring the game to a 28 to 10 lead for UAB at half. UAB received the ball in the second half and marched right down the field and you could see a few non believers head to the exits. After forcing a field goal attempt and facing a 31 to 10 deficit Troy started to pluck away offensively but most importantly were able to turn QB Jacon Zeno over multiple times in the second half including two pick sixes from Troy CB Semaj James.
UAB had the ball inside the 15 yard line with a chance to tie it late but Troy was able to force the turnover on downs to seal the game and buy coach AUChase a bit of time with the fanbase. After the game we caught up with Coach and he had this to say: I am proud of our players for not abandoning the game plan. I do not know what part of that plan constitutes throwing 3 interceptions on our part BUT at the moment that is not our focus. We are trying to turn this ship around and the small victories have to be celebrated because we are not promised another win in this league.
