Troy will play in the 76 Birmingham Bowl on Dec. 23, it was announced Sunday.

The Trojans (11-2) will face Georgia Tech (6-6) in a game to be played at Protective Stadium in downtown Birmingham. Kickoff is set for 11 a.m., with television coverage on ABC.

Troy has won 10 straight games since a 1-2 start this season. The Trojans routed Appalachian State 49-23 on Saturday to win their second straight Sun Belt Conference championship.

The Trojans are the first Sun Belt team to face a Power 5 opponent in a bowl game. Troy is 6-3 all-time in bowls, including an 18-12 win over UT-San Antonio in the 2022 Cure Bowl.

Troy and Georgia Tech have met once in football, with the Yellow Jackets winning 35-20 in Atlanta during the 2006 regular season.
