History
Troy won the first game of the series, 37–3, on September 6, 1993, in UAB's first game as a I-AA team. Troy and UAB have met twice when both schools where Division I-AA independents in 1993 and 1995. UAB then joined Conference USA in 1995 but didn't play football for the conference until 1999. The two schools met seven years later in 2002 and in '03. 2002 was their first of several close margin games of 1 point with UAB on top 27–26. Troy then joined the Sun Belt Conference in 2004 and the two schools continue to schedule each other as non-conference opponents due to their close proximity.
In their latest match-up in 2014, UAB won by its largest margin of victory in the series, defeating the Trojans 48-10.
Troy and UAB has scheduled each other annually since 2009 and in 2014 the two schools has extended their home-and-home football series until 2016 season.
