This was the inaugural game for Trojan Arena in 2012. This game was being hyped for over a year in anticipation of Mississippi State coming to Troy. The Bulldogs were coming off a season where they won 21 games and were ranked as high as #15 during the season. This game still holds the record for the highest attended game in Troy history (5,120).

Troy got the upset win at home in a thriller.
