The Troy Trojans and Jacksonville State Gamecocks will battle in the Salute to Veterans Bowl on Tuesday night.
Both programs enter this matchup sitting at 8-5 and are looking to end their 2025 season with another victory. The last time these two football teams faced off was 2001, when Troy beat the Gamecocks 21-3.
Trojans quarterback Tucker Kilcrease and and the Gamecocks’ Caden Creel have very similar passing numbers. However, Creel is only a freshman, whereas Kilcrease is in his junior year.
Junior running back Cam Cook will be the key to the Gamecocks’ win. Cook has been a monster this season, leading the NCAA with 1,659 rushing yards along with 16 rushing touchdowns.
