OXFORD, Miss – The Jon Sumrall Era didn’t get off to a winning start, but the new Troy football coach saw his team battle throughout before dropping a 28-10 decision
“Really proud that they fought at the end,” Sumrall said. “I think a lot of situations it could have been easy for some people to roll over.”

Robertson was called for a penalty for a horse collar tackle near the Trojans’ sideline. The penalty moved the ball half the distance to the goal down to the 2. A play later, Jonathan Mingo took it in for a touchdown in making it 14-0.
“We wanted to make sure we controlled the pace of the game to a certain extent and slow it down. When we did have to open it up and decided we needed to rip it a little more, we played decent at times in the second half. TCU transfer running back Zach Evans had a big game for Ole Miss, gaining 130 yards on 20 carries. The Rebels had 266 rushing yards, while the Trojans only managed 60 yards on the ground.
