MOBILE, Alabama -- The Troy Trojans recognize the challenges ahead. They've been here before.

Arkansas State, the team atop the Sun Belt Conference standings, visits Veterans Memorial Stadium on Saturday to face Troy in a 2:30 p.m. game. With the Trojans at 5-5 overall, they not only would like to knock off the 5-1 Red Wolves, but they need a win in one of their two final games to become bowl eligible. Of course, they would prefer two wins to enhance their bowl berth possibilities.

But Arkansas State is the first matter at hand and that, head coach Larry Blakeney said, is plenty to deal with for the moment.
