Alcorn State coming to Troy

Troy has finalized its 2013 opponents, according to a school release. Alcorn State, fresh off a 65-0 loss to Troy in 2008, will be making a one-time return trip.

Next year's four non-conference games are UAB at home (Aug. 31), Alcorn State at home (Sept. 7), at Mississippi State (Sept. 21) and at Ole Miss (Nov. 16).

In the Sun Belt, South Alabama plus three other conference teams will come to Troy. It's not as appealing as this year's schedule, not even close, but the players deserve a cupcake game and SWAC teams usually bring a good band, for those that like the band shows.

**The Sun Belt announced they will transition to a multi-channel HD replay system, effective for this football season. You can read more on that HERE.

Back to Alcorn State, here's a highlight from that 2008 game.
