TROY, Ala. – After announcing the return of the in-state rivalry in early May, Troy and UAB announced Tuesday the addition of two more games to the series in 2032 and 2033. The latest addition means that the Trojans and Blazers will now meet four times over a six-year period from 2028 thru 2033.
Troy leads the all-time series, 7-5, including winning three of the final four meetings before the series took a hiatus. Troy has won three straight against UAB at The Vet, including a dramatic 14-point, fourth-quarter comeback in 2013 capped by Will Scott's 30-yard game-winning field goal in overtime.
The new home-and-home deal has UAB playing at The Vet on Sept. 18, 2032, and the Trojans making the return trip to Birmingham on Sept. 10, 2033. The schools will rejuvenate the series in 2028 (at UAB) and 2029 (at Troy); the Trojans and Blazers met every year from 2009 until 2014 before UAB disbanded its program for two years.
Season tickets for the 2020 season are on sale now and fans who purchase or renew their tickets during the months of June and July will be eligible for Troy's "Summer of Prizes" giveaways.
Season ticket packages start as low as $60 for general admission seating and $100 for reserved seats for Troy's six home games at The Vet. Tickets can be purchased or renewed by calling 877-878-WINS (9467) or by visiting TroyTrojans.com/tickets.
Troy returns a pair of All-Americans on defense in junior linebacker Carlton Martial and sophomore safety Dell Pettus. In addition, Martial was named to the Walter Camp Preseason All-America First Team heading into the 2020 campaign.
The offense returns a slew of playmakers from a unit that featured a top-25 scoring offense (33.8 points per game) and top-18 overall offense (456.3 yards per game). Troy returns 2019 Sun Belt Newcomer of the Year Kaylon Geiger and 2019 Sun Belt Offensive Preseason Player of the Year B.J. Smith at receiver and running back, respectively.
