@TROYTROJANSFB | TROYTROJANS.COM NOTES | GAME TWO GAME 1 Troy Too Much for Middle Tennessee in Opener TROY 7 19 14 7 47 MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – A Will Choloh safety MIDDLE TENN 7 0 0 7 14 and a five-yard touchdown pass from sophomore Gunnar Watson to senior Khalil McClain with Sept. 19 • Murfreesboro, Tenn. • Floyd Stadium • 6,000 three seconds left in the first half powered the Troy Trojans football program to a commanding 19-point lead, en route to a 47-14 victory over Middle Tennessee at Floyd Stadium to capture the coveted Palladium Trophy.

In his first start as a Trojan, Watson impressed, completing 26-of-37 passes for 248 yards and his first career touchdown. Watson becomes the first Troy quarterback to win his first career start since Corey Robinson defeated Bowling Green back in 2010 (Sept. 4).

Troy (1-0) was extremely balanced on the afternoon, rushing for 240 yards on 55 carries. Redshirt senior BJ Smith was the Trojans leading rusher (10 rushes, 81 yards) in his much-anticipated return to action.

Seven different Trojans were credited with a touchdown led by McClain (6 receptions, 75 yards and 2 touchdowns) and Charles Strong (11 rushes, 54 yards and a touchdown).
