The #TROYUspirit was alive and well across the nation on Saturday as the Trojans came close to an upset of then #2 Clemson.
Trojan fans were clearly excited with their team’s effort and took to social media to show their support. For a time on Saturday, TROY was the #1 trending topic on Twitter. The excitement led hundreds of fans to rally in support of the team as they arrived back Saturday night to campus:

And just another reminder, Jabir Frye is FAST:
Troy is within 3 of Clemson thanks to this 66-yard TD run.
That’s more rushing yards than the Tigers have ALL GAME. https://t.co/Lpw46it9dL
