🔼 Saturday Night Live. Coming off a much-deserved bye week, Troy Football returns home to host South Alabama in the annual "Battle for the Belt" at The Vet on Saturday. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. and the game will be broadcast on ESPN+.

Troy will honor legendary head coach Larry Blakeney at the end of the first quarter for his upcoming induction into the College Football Hall of Fame.
 
The contest is the first Saturday matchup between the two in-state rivals since 2021 and the first time they've played on a Saturday night game at The Vet since 2013.

Troy (2-2, 0-0 SBC) leads the all-time series by a 9-4 margin but saw its six-game winning streak against the Jags come to an end last season in Mobile.

🔼 Flashin’ New Leather. With the MLB postseason out in full force, the Troy baseball team is also on the diamond getting prepared for next spring.

This week, the Trojans got a little early Christmas gift as Rawlings hooked the squad up with some new leather.

Today’s Trojan Top Performance, brought to you by Conecuh Sausage, is senior outside hitter Amiah Butler. The volleyball standout reached double-digit kills for the 11th time in 11 matches on Thursday night, racking up 17 kills against Texas State. In 2025, Butler is averaging a career best 4.38 kills per set for the Trojans.
