Someone Really Needs to Break Up the Troy Trojans

It's always great fun when a small school takes down a traditional power in college football.
The University of Troy Trojans, who reside somewhere in rural Alabama, have been making a habit of this lately.
In 2016, this scrappy bunch almost upset Clemson in Death Valley.
Last season, they actually did beat LSU in the Baton Rouge Death Valley.
And now they've gone and done it again, this time against those huskers of corn in Nebraska.
Jeez, that punt return was epic.
The mighty Trojans prevailed, 24-19, nailing yet another skin to their wall while embarrassing the hell out of the Cornhuskers in the process.
What an amazing win by Neal Brown and Troy! What a stunning loss by Scott Frost and Nebraska!

Ah yes, behold the Scott Frost era in Lincoln.
That is definitely two consecutive non-conference home losses to begin the season.
This dude is a good coach and will get that thing turned around, but he's playing a miserable hand at the moment.
Meanwhile, to add the proverbial insult to injury, there's this fun nugget of info:
Troy gets $1.15 million to play Nebraska and beats them. Last year, Troy won the highest payday game, beating LSU on their homecoming and taking home $985,000. pic.twitter.com/wznJrNQ7GE

Yep, the Huskers absolutely just paid Troy over one million bucks to take a giant dump inside their own stadium.
They even got a few throat rips in for good measure.
