App State losing our rivalry was tough. The new one is with Georgia Southern. It’s hard to get worked up for a rival that is two states away.
Winning 3 straight national titles made up for the loss of a rival.
Troy lost to App State two years ago in a barn burner.
Last year Troy beat App State on a 60 yard pass with seconds left. The pass was not a touchdown but the running back ran it in the next play.
Unfortunately they do not play this year.
