Kilcrease opened the scoring with a 34-yard touchdown run, and his 25-yard touchdown pass to RaRa Thomas gave Troy a 14-7 lead heading into the break.
Davenport's 56-yard touchdown run gave the Jaguars a 17-14 advantage midway through the third quarter. Kilcrease connected with DJ Epps and the Trojans led 21-17 heading into the fourth.
