Nebraska isn't ever travelling to Statesboro to play Georgia Southern so Southern settled for making the trip to Lincoln last year to beat Scott Frost's Huskers.
In 2013 Southern traveled to Gainesville and shocked the Gators 26-20.
Nobody wanted any part of Erk Russell's boys in the '80s and Troy has a similar history of embarrassing D1 football programs most often decided by the final possession. A four touchdown underdog doesn't have to win outright in order to succeed.
your reasons have a lot more to do with AU not scheduling Troy, imo. As stated earlier by the homo from Dothan, the positive is keeping the $ in state.
But , contrary to the earlier post from Skinny Jeans, I do not base this on having been born, bred in the wiregrass.
