Troy Wins First Bowl Game

by Brian Carson

Omar Haugabook threw four touchdown passes and ran for another to lead Troy to its first bowl victory, 41-17 over Rice on Friday night in the New Orleans Bowl.

It was only the second bowl appearance for the Trojans (8-5), who moved up to Division I-A in 2002. Troy earned the bowl bid with its first Sun Belt title.

Haugabook, the Sun Belt player of the year and unanimous most valuable player of the game, completed 14 of 28 passes for 217 yards.

Rice (7-6), coming off its first winning season since 1993, and making its first bowl appearance since 1961, was seeking its first postseason victory since 1954.

Owls receiver Jarett Dillard kept his touchdown streak alive. He caught a one-yard pass in the fourth quarter to stretch the streak to 15 games, dating to last season. His 13-game streak this season set an NCAA record, breaking the mark of 12 set by Randy Moss in 1997 and Larry Fitzgerald in 2003.
