The Trojans weren't listening. Jordan Chunn ran for 191 yards and a touchdown, Troy's defense forced four turnovers and the surging Trojans upset No. 25 LSU 24-21 . Troy, which celebrated wildly with traveling fans in largely empty Tiger Stadium as time ran out, became the first team from outside the Southeastern Conference to win in LSU's Death Valley since UAB in 2000. They snapped the Tigers' streak of 49 straight home victories over non-league opponents. Although the Tigers were three-touchdown favorites, the result wasn't entirely unfathomable. LSU had looked vulnerable in a tense victory over Syracuse a week earlier, while Troy came in on a three-game winning streak and is among the favorites to win the Sun Belt Conference after a 10-victory 2016 campaign. Troy raced to leads of 17-0 and 24-7 before Danny Etling's fourth-quarter touchdown passes to Russell Gage and Foster Moreau got LSU as close as a field goal with 1:59 left. But after failing to recover an onside kick, LSU had only 23 seconds to get into field goal range, and any hope of that ended when Blace Brown intercepted Etling's pass on the Troy 42 with 11 seconds to go ___ GATORS WIN, LOSE DEL RIO Feleipe Franks lifted his left arm and showed where he scribbled a name in black marker. Sweat and heavy rain had washed off much of the ink, but the four letters were still faintly visible on his wrist: "Luke." No. 21 Florida beat Vanderbilt 38-24 despite losing starting quarterback Luke Del Rio for the season because of a broken left collarbone. It's a potential crushing blow for a team trying to get to the Southeastern Conference championship game for the third consecutive year. The Gators will now shift back to Franks, who was benched in two of his first three starts, and rely heavily on an emerging rushing attack. If Lamical Perine and Malik Davis play like they did against the Commodores (3-2, 0-2), the Gators should have a good chance to win the Eastern Division again. Perine scored three touchdowns, and Davis added two more as Florida defeated the Commodores for the 26th time in the last 27 meetings. ___ MILESTONE WINS No. 7 Georgia hit a big milestone as a program, notching win No. 800 with a 41-0 rout of Tennessee. Not long after that, Notre Dame hit a milestone of its own, reaching 900 wins with a 52-17 win over Miami (Ohio). Impressive numbers, but both are still behind Michigan, which has 938 wins. ___ NUMBERS 72_Years since top-ranked Alabama scored 50-plus points in consecutive SEC games until beating Vanderbilt and Mississippi by a combined 125-3 the past two weeks. 514_Yards rushing by Jacksonville in a 56-21 over Guilford to break the school record. 2,372_Career rushing yards by Mercer's Alex Lakes , breaking the school record set by John Russ in 2013-16. —7,622_Career yards passing for Ohio State's J.T.
