Meadows' late TD run caps 21-point 4th-quarter rally in Troy's 21-17 win over Buffalo
Tucker Kilcrease rushed for a 6-yard TD to complete a 14-play, 75-yard drive to get the Trojans (2-2) on the scoreboard then threw a 10-yard scoring pass to RaRa Thomas to trail 17-13 with six minutes to go. Troy went three-and-out on its next possession but got the ball back with 2:33 remaining on the 50. Nine plays later Meadows scored the go-ahead points.
Buffalo (2-2) reached the Troy 28 with eight seconds left but a fourth-and-1 pass into the end zone by Gunnar Gray was batted down. Gray played the rest of the way for starting quarterback Ta'Quan Roberson who left with a lower-leg injury in the third quarter after Al-Jay Henderson had put the Bulls up 14-0 with a 22-yard run.
James McNeil finished a 71-yard drive with a 1-yard score in the first quarter and a 7-0 halftime lead. Jack Howes' 39-yard field goal made it 17-0 at the start of the fourth quarter.
Kilcrease was 14-of-24 passing for 148 yards and he rushed for 50 more. RaRa Thomas had five catches for 78 yards.
Roberson was 9-of-15 passing for 104 yards and Gray 5 of 13 for 49. Henderson rushed for 76 yards on 22 carries.
