Troy powered past Louisiana 35-23 behind a dominant ground attack, as Tucker Kilcrease punched in two rushing touchdowns and Jordan Lovett added a pair of his own. The Trojans' defense made a crucial impact when Jaquez White returned an interception 30 yards for a touchdown to tie the game in the second quarter. While the Ragin' Cajuns kept it close with three field goals from Tony Sterner, Lovett's 19-yard touchdown run with under three minutes remaining sealed the victory for Troy.
