Auburn Tigers and Troy Trojans to Face Off in Historic First-Time MatchupThe Auburn Tigers and Troy Trojans are set to meet on the gridiron for the first time ever, with the game scheduled for September sixth, two thousand thirty-one. This highly anticipated matchup was announced earlier this week, bringing two prominent in-state programs together. Troys Director of Athletics, Kyle George, expressed his excitement for the game, highlighting it as a significant in-state marquee matchup. Auburn has shown a willingness to schedule in-state schools, with recent games against South Alabama, Jacksonville State, Alabama State, Alabama A and M, and Samford. Troy, with a history of success and eight Sun Belt championships since the two thousand six season, is expected to provide a strong and competitive team. The connection between these two schools is further strengthened by College Football Hall of Famer Larry Blakeney, who played for Auburn and later served as an assistant coach before becoming Troys head coach in nineteen ninety-one.
