MOBILE, Ala. (AP) Sawyer Smith threw three touchdown passes and B.J. Smith ran for 170 yards to lead Troy over in-state rival South Alabama 38-17 on Tuesday night.

Evan Orth completed 18 of 29 passes for 275 yards for South Alabama (2-6, 1-3). He threw for a pair of touchdowns but was intercepted three times.

Troy's Terence Dunlap intercepted a pass in the end zone and returned it 88 yards to set up the final touchdown.
