Troy 32, Western Kentucky 26:
Corey Robinson threw for 306 yards and a touchdown to lead the
visiting Trojans to a come-from-behind victory over the Hilltoppers.
Troy (5-3, 3-1 Sun Belt) was outgained 532-397 and lost the time of possession battle by nearly 14
minutes but was able to make the big plays when needed. Jordan Chunn
rushed for two touchdowns for the Trojans.
Antonio Andrews was a one-man
gang for Western Kentucky (4-4, 1-3), rushing 28 times for 144 yards and a score while making seven
receptions for 125 yards. Brandon Doughty was 29-of-45 for 387 yards
for the Hilltoppers, who were hurt by two lost fumbles.
Troy took a 10-3 lead after one
quarter thanks to a Will Scott 41-yard field goal and Chunn's 1-yard
touchdown run. The Hilltoppers rallied in the second, scoring 17
straight points thanks to Andrews' 1-yard scoring scamper,
Leon Allen's 3-yard touchdown run and Garrett Schwettman's 33-yard
field goal.
The second half was almost all
Troy, which pulled within three on a Robinson's 40-yard touchdown pass to Chris Williams early in the third, then took the lead
when Deon Anthony scored from 9 yards out. After Schwettman hit from
37 yards out to put Western Kentucky back in front heading to the
fourth, Chunn capped an 11-play, 73-yard drive with a 3-yard
touchdown run to put Troy ahead for good.
