TROY, Ala. (TROJANVISION<\/a>) \u2014 Tuesday afternoon, Trojan fans headed to Mobile to cheer on Troy Football<\/a> as it takes on South Alabama<\/a> during the “Battle for the Belt.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We’re going there to cheer on our trojans,” said senior Derrick Nobles. “Cheering them on so that we can get that win.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It’s our big rivalry and rivalry games always just have a certain energy that you can’t get at any other football game,” said freshman Vanessa Bell. “I’m really excited.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the Trojans are set to go, they are also set to see a victory. As the buses pulled up, students shared what they were looking forward to most. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’m just looking forward to having a good time and rooting for Troy,” said freshman Ty Campbell. “It’s going to be my first away game, and I really hate South Alabama.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’m looking forward to the football game the most because it’ll be my first USA against Troy game,” Bell said. “I’m really excited to see how we play with our rivals.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Troy has seen success against its rival for the past seven years. Fans hope this year\u2019s game will be no different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Troy is a very young team,” Campbell said. “With that said, I think with South Alabama being our rival, our team’s going to step up and come out with a victory.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It’s going to be a really good game,” Bell said. “I have a couple of friends at South, so I really want the Trojans to come out on top. That way, I can say that we are the best.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just like some of the students attending the game, this will also be Head Coach Gerad Parker<\/a>‘s first Battle for the Belt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
