I do think the positives are is we’ve gotten our backs against the wall in a couple of games and haven’t quit, which is encouraging.
On the next Troy drive, Watson threw to Dothan product Jabre Barber, who broke loose for a 59-yard touchdown. The PAT by Buce made it 21-3 with 10:34 to play in the third quarter. “I thought he got hit from behind, but maybe he just got stepped on in pursuit on a screen play,” Sumrall said. “He’s a tough dude, so for him to not come back … he tried to.”
Alabama A&M led 3-0 until the final minute of the first half thanks to a 47-yard field goal by Zach Alvarez late in the opening quarter before Troy broke into the scoring column on the Watson to Johnson touchdown in the final minute of the half.The Trojans drove to the A&M 9 following a short run by Kimani Vidal with less than 10 minutes to play in the half, but Watson was sacked and fumbled on the next play and A&M took back over.
