The conference will then break for the holidays, with Troy returning to action on Jan. 2 at App State. 

🗣️ "We are very excited about our challenging conference schedule that will once again show why the Sun Belt is the premier mid-major conference.

22 days until kickoff, Troy Football fans!

En route to Troy’s first of two Sun Belt Conference Championships during the 2022 season, the Trojans finished 12-2 overall, losing just one conference game. The defense stifled opponents all year long, holding 10 foes to under 20 points. After beating Coastal Carolina in a convincing 45-26 win in the conference championship, the Trojans knocked off No. 22 UTSA to win the Cure Bowl to cap off an incredible season.
