Trojans beat first-place Georgia Southern on road last week for second straight win
Gerad Parker's Troy Trojans began the season 1-7, but have crept back toward respectability with back-to-back wins over Coastal Carolina and Georgia Southern. It appeared to be something of a non-sequitur, when Troy head coach Gerad Parker ended his post-game comments to ESPN+ on Saturday with the declaration, “We’re going to Buc-ee’s.’”in Statesboro on Saturday for their second straight win. On the 6-hour drive back home after the game, the Troy team bus pulled into the Fort Valley, Ga.
“So it was a little bit of a battle cry to get a better stop and stop at a Buc-ee’s. So that’s how it all came full circle and became a little bit of a motivation for our guys who appreciated a soft drink and a bite to eat.”Troy will test its good road trip karma again this week, and again vs. a first-place team. The Trojans travel to face Louisiana, which is 8-1 overall and atop the Sun Belt West with a 5-1 league mark.
“And for us moving forward, that’s where we want to be. … We want to make sure we measure ourselves against the best right now and get ourselves prepared for how we want to put ourselves in a position going into next year. So this will be even a greater test for us on our side and going to their place.”
“I think it’s just chemistry, knowing and trusting your teammates and your scheme,” safety Ian Conerly-Goodly said. “It just got better throughout the weeks, and we’ve got momentum.”
