For the second year in a row, Troy University’s football team made big money off of upsetting a heavily favored opponent.
On Saturday, the Trojans travelled to Lincoln and defeated Nebraska 24-19.
Troy got paid $1.15M to beat Nebraska.

Last year, the team from southeast Alabama went to Death Valley and shocked LSU 24-21. They made just under a million dollars from that game.
