TROY, Ala. (TROJANVISION<\/a>) \u2014 The news is out: Troy University will host the Sun Belt Conference Football Championship for the second year in a row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the University prepares to play host, students say they are excited to see the battle at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Really excited about us hosting the championship this weekend,” said freshman Mattie Register. “It’s going to be a lot of fun. I get to hang out with my friends. I got a lot of friends coming in from different places to come visit.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’m looking forward to the Sun Belt Championship game,” said junior Olivia McDaniel. “I didn’t get to go last year so I’m really excited to be able to go this year.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This is my first game so obviously I’m super excited for that and I think the Trojans have done really good all football season,” said junior Madison Tapia. “I think Sumrall has done a really good job at coaching them and making sure they’re prepared for the game. I think it’ll go really good and, hopefully, we’ll get a win.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Troy University students are excited about getting to host the championship for the second year in a row, however, some may not be excited about who TROY is hosting. Dedicated fans remember the upsetting defeat the last time TROY played App State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I think the atmosphere will be electric,” said graduate student Audra Thompson. “I know our football players are coming out for revenge because that Hail Mary hurt them a lot last year. They’re coming back to for blood this this week.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“App State they’re a team that can that can upset you,” said sophomore Braden Tillery. “We saw that last year with the Hail Mary but I think we can pull it out.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I mean obviously they were disappointed with the game last year but that was early in the season,” said junior Braeden Coulter. “They rolled off like 10 straight wins so I mean they know what they can do. They want to get revenge but I don’t think there’s any kind of bad blood.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fans will have to wait until December 2nd to watch Troy take on App State. Ticket information for the game can be found here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
