Supports. Troy's official 2026 game notes list the results Sam Houston W 24-21 (Sept. 5) and Alabama State W 34-17 (Sept. 12), consistent with a 2-0 record before the September 19 game at Missouri.[3]
Context. Later sources show Troy at 3-3 or 4-4 by late October, so the record changed after the claim date. The claim is judged as of September 17, when it was accurate.[1][4][5]
