The “Battle for the Belt” is on the line, first place in the Sun Belt West Division, the winner becomes bowl eligible, a national TV audience via ESPNU, bragging rights
JON JOHNSON for a year in this in-state rivalry – all the storylines that make the Troy at South Alabama matchup at Hancock Whitney Stadium more intriguing than ever.

If we get so focused on the prize, you lose focus on running the race the right way.” Who Troy will start at quarterback is a bit of a mystery. Gunnar Watson started last Saturday against Texas State, but had to come out of the game after his helmet was knocked off late in the third quarter and never returned. Back-up quarterback Jarret Doege entered, got the hot hand passing and led the team to the game-winning touchdown.
“There may be subtle differences in some of the things they do based off what they do in their passing game that one quarterback maybe a little more comfortable doing than the other one, but is ultimately running the same system with both of these guys. Carter Bradley, a transfer from Toledo, has been a difference-maker for the Jaguars. In last Saturday’s win over ULM, Bradley passed for a school-record 420 yards and has thrown 13 touchdown passes this season.
