The Troy Trojans went into Baton Rouge and pulled off a stunning upset over No. 25 LSU on Saturday night at Tiger Stadium.
Troy even led 24-7 at one point, but LSU got it to within three points and had the ball on the final drive, before throwing this interception to seal Troy’s (potentially program-altering) victory:
One of the many terrible things about the loss for LSU? They paid Troy $985,000 to play the game.

Ouch.
Wait, it gets worse. This was LSU’s homecoming game, and Troy made sure to remind them of that on Twitter.
Hey @LSU, thanks for having us down for homecoming! We really enjoyed it! 😁

You may be thinking, “Act like you’ve been there before, Troy!” But Troy really hasn’t been there before.
