Senior quarterback Chase Brice has thrown for 495 yards and seven touchdowns through two games, with six different players catching touchdown passes. Junior running back Camerun Peoples has rushed for 177 yards and one touchdown on 32 carries, averaging 5.5 yards per attempt. The Mountaineers have won six of their last seven games against Troy, and they are 18-2 in their last 20 home games.'
Troy covered the spread as a heavy underdog at Ole Miss in Week 1 before breezing past Alabama A&M last week.
