It was 11 guys on the same page doing their job.”In what’s become commonplace at times this year, it took another Troy comeback after the Trojans fell behind 9-0 by halftime.
The touchdown catch came a play after it appeared tight end AJ Lewis had caught a touchdown pass, but after a review, the initial ruling that he was out of bounds was upheld. In the first half, Army dominated in outgaining the Trojans 232 yards to 40. Troy came out passing to begin the second half and got on the scoreboard on the opening series when Buce kicked through the short field goal for Troy’s first points.
