Troy has accepted a bid to the Duluth Trading Cure Bowl at Exploria Stadium in Orlando, Fla, against Conference USA Champion No. 22 Texas-San Antonio.
The Cure Bowl has the first selection among Sun Belt Conference teams in the league’s new bowl agreement. It will be the only match up during Bowl Season that features two conference champions facing off against one another. Additionally, both teams are ranked in the latest AP and USA Today Top 25 polls.
“I’m excited for our players, our staff and our university,” Sun Belt Coach of the Year Jon Sumrall said. “We’ve heard amazing things about the Cure Bowl and the bowl experience they provide for our student-athletes. We’re going to Orlando with the intention of winning a football game, but we’re also going to make sure that our players have a great time and are rewarded for a championship season.”
Troy enters bowl season having won 10 straight games overall after defeating Coastal Carolina, 45-26, in the Sun Belt Championship game on Saturday, according to Troy Athletics. The Cure Bowl marks Troy’s ninth overall bowl game and first since the 2018 Dollar General Bowl. The Trojans have won four straight bowl games dating back to the 2010 New Orleans Bowl.“Congratulations to head coach Jon Sumrall and his team for a championship season,” Athletics Director Brent Jones said.
Additionally, Trojan fans have the opportunity to support our Community Hero Ticket program for the bowl game. Donations will help to send Troy students, members of the Sound of the South, underserved youth groups and first responders in the greater Orlando area to the game and will also help to offset bowl expenses incurred by the Athletics Department. Fans may make donations of $50 or more towards this cause with a stated goal of raising $75,000.
UTSA enters the Cure Bowl tied with Troy for the third-longest winning streak in the country at 10 games after defeating North Texas, 48-27, in the C-USA Championship Game. The Roadrunners are 11-2 on the year and finished C-USA with a perfect 8-0 record.
