The Troy University football program unveiled a newly renovated, $18 million Veterans Memorial Stadium as the final piece of its Division I-A move in Fall 2003. The project which took more than a year to complete, increased the facility’s seating capacity to 30,000, an increase of more than 12,000 seats.
Also gone is the prescription athletic turf, replaced by “AstroPlay”, an artificial surface that closely resembles grass in feel and appearance.

VETERANS MEMORIAL STADIUM: A SITE OF MEMORABLE VICTORIES
Once again, the Trojans sent a Big 12 opponent away empty handed. This time it was by a final score of 41-23 in a game that was never that close. Led by Sun Belt Player of the Year signal caller Omar Haugabook, Troy dispatched the Cowboys with a high-powered assault of its own. Haugabook passed for a career-best 371 yards and ran for 49 more while scoring three touchdowns as the Trojans built a 41-10 lead at the end of three quarters. In the coming years the Trojans will have another pair of opportunities to defend their home field against high-profile opponents when Navy and Mississippi State visit Veterans Memorial Stadium during the 2012 season.

Sun Belt Conference Formed in 1976 the Sun Belt Conference quickly rose to the greatest heights of collegiate athletics by sending a team to the NCAA Final Four in the league’s first year of existence. Fast forward 36 years and the league again finds itself at the pinnacle of collegiate athletics as a member of the 11 league alliance of the Bowl Championship Series. Through it all, the constant has always been success, progress and academic excellence. The Sun Belt Conference was founded on August 4, 1976 with New Orleans, South Alabama, Georgia State, Jacksonville, North Carolina-Charlotte and South Florida participating in four men’s sports: basketball, golf, soccer and tennis. The Sun Belt Conference began as a home for some of the nation’s best independent men’s basketball programs and the six team league didn’t need long to prove that it was an emerging power in college athletics. In the first season of the league, former member North Carolina-Charlotte reached the pinnacle of collegiate basketball by playing in the Final Four. Along the way Charlotte defeated Central Michigan, Syracuse and Michigan to advance to the Final Four. Their miraculous run ended with a 51-49 loss to eventual national champion Marquette. Star forward Cedric Maxwell was selected in the first round of the NBA Draft by the Boston Celtics. Maxwell was the first in a long line of great Sun Belt men’s basketball stars, as 11 total players have gone on to be first-round selections in the NBA Draft. Those draftees include Dee Brown (Jacksonville – Boston Celtics, 1990), Ervin Johnson (New Orleans – Seattle Sonics, 1993), Derek Fisher (UALR – Los Angeles Lakers, 1996) and Courtney Lee (Western Kentucky University – Orlando Magic, 2008). In addition to its early found success in men’s basketball, the Sun Belt Conference proved to be a leader in the evolution of the game as well. In 1978 New Orleans defeated South Alabama, 22-20, in the conference tournament championship in a “slowdown” game. As a direct result of this game, the Sun Belt Conference was given approval by the NCAA to adopt a 45-second shot clock for use in conference basketball games for the 1978-79 season. The shot clock has had an everlasting impact on the game of basketball and the Sun Belt Conference is noted for its conception. 1978 was also the beginning of a new way of formatting the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament and the NCAA announced the Sun Belt Conference would be one of 24 conferences in the nation that would be given automatic entry into future NCAA basketball national championship playoffs. The NCAA also declared the Sun Belt as one of 16 conferences who would receive a first-round bye in the 1979 tournament. Hall of Fame head coach Gene Bartow led a number of impressive Alabama-Birmingham men’s basketball squads during the early 1980s with teams that would compete in seven consecutive NCAA Tournaments with stops in the Elite Eight and Sweet Sixteen along the way. UAB joined the league along with Virginia Commonwealth in 1979. Western Kentucky University and Old Dominion would later join the league in 1981. Further showing its trendsetting nature and evolution, the conference becomes one of the first collegiate organizations to form its own in-house regional television network with conference gameof-the-week telecasts beginning in January 1978. The next year, the Sun Belt Conference became known as a leader in college sports broadcasting by being the first conference to sign a long-term contract with the ESPN cable network. Since that time the Sun Belt Conference has had every men’s basketball championship game broadcasted live on ESPN – making it the longest partnership between ESPN and any collegiate athletic conference. Aside from men’s basketball, the Sun Belt Conference would add additional sports during the first 10 years of the league. Old Dominion won the first-ever Sun Belt Conference women’s basketball tournament in 1983, defeating WKU 78-67. ODU then defeated St. John’s, Maryland, and Penn State

to reach the NCAA Final Four. Future Olympian Anne Donovan of Old Dominion became the first women’s recipient of the Naismith Trophy, recognizing the nation’s finest player. The Sun Belt became the first conference to place two teams in the women’s basketball NCAA Final Four as Old Dominion and Western Kentucky earned their way to Austin, Texas in 1985. WKU reached the Final Four by defeating Middle Tennessee, Texas, and Mississippi, while Old Dominion defeated Syracuse, North Carolina State and Ohio State. WKU lost its semifinal match up to Georgia (91-78), but ODU defeated Northeast Louisiana (now Louisiana-Monroe) in the semi-finals and Georgia (70-65) for the national championship. With trips to the Final Four in hand and groundbreaking television deals the Sun Belt Conference proved early on that success and progress were going to be the backbone of the conference. But that was just the beginning for the league. Future decades had change in mind. Changes sparked new members, additional sports and eventually the evolution of the Sun Belt Conference as a member of the Bowl Championship Series. American South Conference members Arkansas State, Central Florida, Lamar, Louisiana Tech, New Orleans, Southwestern Louisiana (now Louisiana-Lafayette) and Texas-Pan American joined UALR and existing Sun Belt Conference members Jacksonville, South Alabama and Western Kentucky when the two conferences merged in 1991. The newfound alignment of the league had little problems replicating the success of the early years of the league. In fact, teams from the Sun Belt Conference would once again reach the pinnacle of success during the 1990s. Louisiana Tech and WKU provided some of the most noted women’s basketball teams of all time during the decade. Both programs would reach the national championship game in the Women’s Final Four. Louisiana Tech would make multiple appearances in the Women’s Final Four during the 1990s. In 1993, Arkansas State’s women’s basketball team defeated George Washington, Marquette and SMU to win the WNIT Tournament. WKU would also add to its men’s basketball legacy in the early 1990s with multiple trips to the NCAA Sweet 16 and postseason rankings in the national polls. New Orleans also strung together a number of notable seasons in postseason men’s basketball berths. Tim Floyd was named Sun Belt Coach of the Year in 1993 after the Privateers reached No. 17 in the national rankings. The 1990s also saw the emergence of the Sun Belt Conference as a power in college baseball. In fact, the Sun Belt Conference has sent multiple teams to the NCAA tournament each year since 1988. The 23-year streak of having two or more teams reach NCAA play is matched by only four other conferences (ACC, Big West, SEC, Pac-10). The year 2000 started off with a bang for the Sun Belt Conference as Louisiana-Lafayette’s baseball team defeated No. 1 ranked South Carolina to advance to the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska. The Ragin’ Cajuns posted victories against San Jose State and Clemson before finishing third overall. Their College World Series appearance is the only one by a school while a member of the Sun Belt Conference (New Orleans made it in 1984). Florida International, New Orleans and South Alabama also reached the NCAA post-season that year. The most noted news of the early 2000s though was that the Sun Belt Conference began sponsoring football at the Division I-A level (now known as the Football Bowl Subdivision) in 2001 and an automatic bowl tie-in was formed for its conference champion in the New Orleans Bowl. Prior to the 2001 season only Louisiana-Lafayette had competed at the Division I-A level for the entirety of its program’s history. New members North Texas, Middle Tennessee and New Mexico State would take on the task of maturing into I-A programs along with Arkansas State and football only members Idaho and Louisiana-Monroe. The conference’s automatic berth into the New Orleans Bowl gave the league credibility, but wins

would be needed to show that the league could contend at the highest level of the game. North Texas carried that responsibility well in the early years of Sun Belt Conference football. The Mean Green would represent the league for four consecutive seasons in the New Orleans Bowl. One of the first shining moments in Sun Belt football history came in the second New Orleans Bowl in 2002 when North Texas defeated Conference USA co-champion Cincinnati 24-19. More memorable moments would soon follow, but not before the league’s membership took on additional changes. Utah State joined the league briefly as a football playing member but departed along with Idaho and New Mexico State following the 2004 season. Troy joined the league as a football only in 2004 and would join as an all-sports member soon thereafter. Florida Atlantic joined initially as a football only member in 2005 and would also enter competition in all sports a couple of years later. FIU, a league member since the late 1990s, began competition in football in 2005 and WKU, a longtime league member, began competition in 2009. Louisiana-Monroe, a founding member of the football league, would join as all-sports member as well. As the Sun Belt Conference evolved with new members and new found success – the league earned two bowl berths for the first time in 2004 – the state of the Football Bowl Subdivision would also evolve. The Sun Belt Conference entered the ranks of the Bowl Championship Series when the BCS restructured prior to the 2006 season. The Sun Belt Conference now found itself as one of 31 NCAA conferences that sponsor multiple sports, but the league was now one of only 11 to participate in the Bowl Championship Series (BCS). With that lofty standing, expectations for the Sun Belt Conference are as high as ever and the league and its member institutions have consistently delivered in the past few years. Because of its status as a member of the Football Bowl Subdivision coalition, the Sun Belt Conference has a permanent seat on the NCAA’s 18-member Board of Directors. As a result, the conference has a crucial voice on some of the most pressing issues in college athletics and will always have a role in the implementation of any future NCAA legislation and guidelines. The conference continues to utilize television to grow and promote the league and its member institutions. The Sun Belt Conference signed a new multi-year agreement with ESPN, Inc. in January of 2009 that has resulted in unprecedented national coverage for the league. Additionally, ESPN televised the conference’s men’s basketball championship game for the 31st straight season in 2011, marking its longest affiliation with any conference in the country. The conference’s regional television partnership with Comcast/Charter Sports Southeast (CSS) and Cox Sports Television (CST) enables live telecasts of Sun Belt events to reach millions of households. The addition of volleyball, baseball and softball to the conference’s television package has resulted in more national and regional television exposure for the league than at any time in its history. The Sun Belt Conference has also partnered with multiplatform internet provider NeuLion to deliver a full-service, customized, public and premium website to provide fans with a broad range of real-time information and content about the conference’s athletic teams. The Sun Belt is one of the few conferences in the nation to provide video highlights and features on its website from each of the league’s respective championships. This technology serves as a great recruiting tool for schools by enabling anyone in the world with internet access to view the conference’s championship events. Success has been easy to find in recent years as well. Since the 2005 football season – the first season following major college football realignment – the Sun Belt Conference ranks fifth out of the 11 FBS conferences in postseason bowl game winning percentage. In fact, the Sun Belt Conference ranks ahead of noted “Big Six” leagues – the Big 12, ACC and the Big Ten. Furthermore, the Sun Belt Conference outpaces its non-automatic qualifying BCS partners in the WAC, Conference USA and the MAC. The world has taken notice of the Sun Belt Conference as well. Proof of that comes as the league now has two automatic tie-

ins to postseason bowl games. The R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl recently extended its agreements with the Sun Belt Conference ensuring that a Sun Belt team will play in that bowl game through 2013 (the league has sent a team to that game every year since the game’s inception in 2001). The Sun Belt Conference also signed an agreement with the GoDaddy.com Bowl, played annually in Mobile, Alabama, that will ensure a Sun Belt team plays in that bowl game through 2013. There has been no shortage of success in the league’s other sports as well in recent years. The Sun Belt Conference has sent at least two teams to the NCAA Baseball Tournament for 23 consecutive seasons. Additionally, the league has sent three or more teams to the NCAAs in 8 of the last 13 seasons. In women’s basketball, the Sun Belt Conference has sent multiple teams to the Women’s NCAA Basketball Championship in three of the last five seasons. This past season UALR and Middle Tennessee both represented the league in the NCAA postseason. Additionally, 2011 Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year Chastity Reed from UALR was honored as an All-American and was selected in the WNBA Draft. The league has had five players selected in the WNBA Draft in the last five years. Once a home to noted men’s basketball coaches like Gene Bartow, Tim Floyd, Wimp Sanderson, Sonny Smith, Lee Rose, Cliff Ellis and Lou Henson the Sun Belt Conference now boasts noted names such as Mike Jarvis and John Brady as league head coaches. As of this year, Sun Belt men’s coaches had amassed a total of 2,850 career victories (2,850-2,100, a 57.6 winning percentage). That number is good enough to rank in the top five nationally for total victories by a conference’s coaches. That’s more wins than the 12 coaches in the SEC can boast – they total 2,773 victories combined. And is more than either the Big 12 Conference (2,236) or Conference USA (2,257) with the same number of schools. One of the nation’s all-time greatest softball programs resides in the Sun Belt Conference as Louisiana-Lafayette has advanced to the NCAA Women’s College World Series on five occasions. Most recently, the Ragin’ Cajuns played in the annual WCWS in 2008. Additionally, the Sun Belt Conference led the nation in highest total attendance and average attendance per session for its 2011 Softball Championship held in Lafayette. A record three Sun Belt Conference women’s golf teams were selected to participate in the 2011 NCAA Regional Championship as Denver, North Texas and FIU competed in the field. Not to be outdone, three Sun Belt men’s golf teams were selected to the NCAA Regional Championships as North Texas, Middle Tennessee and Denver represented the league. The Sun Belt Conference has sent at least two teams to the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship for 12 consecutive seasons.
tions are: UALR, Denver, Louisiana-Lafayette, Middle Tennessee, North Texas, Troy and Western Kentucky. Arkansas State, Florida Atlantic and FIU all had 94% of their programs score above the 925 mark. The NCAA also recently announced that ten Sun Belt Programs were honored with the association’s Public Recognition Awards. Seven of the 12 Sun Belt Conference member institutions were recognized by the award which is based on their most recent multi-year Academic Progress Rates. These awards are given each year to teams scoring in the top 10 percent in each sport with their APRs. Middle Tennessee had three total teams listed, while North Texas had two teams recognized. UALR, LouisianaMonroe, Denver, FIU and Western Kentucky each had one team recognized. Each year the Sun Belt Conference hosts an Academic Summit designed for member institutions to discuss academic support programs for student-athletes and plans for academic reform within the league. The Academic Summit is an annual meeting scheduled to coincide with the Sun Belt Conference Basketball Championships. Since its inception in 2008, the Academic Summit has been a well received gathering for league Presidents, Athletic Directors, Faculty Athletic Representatives, Academic Support Personnel, as well as additional Sun Belt administrators and other national leaders campaigning for academic progress. This past year’s Academic Summit concentrated on a detailed analysis and evaluation of each member institution’s academic support services, including its facilities and resources used to provide academic support to all student-athletes. There was also a NCAA staff liaison in attendance from the Committee on Academic Performance that presented on many of the national hot topics and specifically the academic reform concepts for two-year college transfers. Also discussed were the institutional policies in place at each campus regarding missed class-time and the assessment of academic risk of both the program and of the individual student-athlete. Prominent Sun Belt alumni include former United States Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (Denver), NFL Hall of Fame football player “Mean” Joe Greene (North Texas) former All-Star baseball player Luis Gonzalez (South Alabama), former All-Star baseball player Mike Lowell (2007 MLB World Series MVP, FIU), former member of the United States Senate and House of Representatives John Breaux (Louisiana-Lafayette), country music superstar Tim McGraw (Louisiana-Monroe), and actor Andy Garcia (FIU). The conference’s first 35 years have also produced numerous individual national champions along with Olympic track medalists including Earl Bell, Tom Hill and Al Joyner (Arkansas State), Hollis Conway (Louisiana-Lafayette), and Tayna Lawrence (FIU). Old Dominion’s Anne Donovan, who received the Naismith Trophy recognizing the nation’s top women’s basketball player in 1983, helped the United States win the Olympic gold medal in 1984 and helped the Lady Monarchs capture the national championship in 1985.
The Sun Belt Conference comprises 12 institutions of higher learning while sponsoring 19 championship sports for men and women. Each of the 19 sports has seen numerous team and individual accomplishments, but in the realm of academic excellence nearly every Sun Belt Conference school is currently graduating its student-athletes at a rate higher than its respective school’s SUN BELT CONFERENCE DIRECTORY student body.

Compliance - Know the Rules PROSPECTS WHO IS A PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETE (PROSPECT)?
You are a prospect if you have started classes for the ninth grade. Before the ninth grade, you may become a prospect if a university provides you (or your family or friends) any financial aid or other benefit that is not usually provided to prospective student-athletes. HOW DO I KNOW IF I’M BEING RECRUITED? There are several ways to be recruited: (1) A coach may provide you with an official paid visit to view the campus, (2) a coach may arrange an in-person, off-campus meeting with you (or your family) on more than one occasion for the purpose of recruitment. Only coaches and athletic department staff can be involved in the recruiting process. Athletic representatives are prohibited from contacting a prospective student-athlete or members of his/her family by telephone, letter or in person for the purpose of encouraging participation in intercollegiate athletics at Troy University. The coach can take appropriate action. WHAT IS A CONTACT? A contact is any face-to-face encounter between a prospect or the prospect’s parent(s) or legal guardian and an insitutional staff member or athletic representative during which any dialogue occurs in excess of an exchange of greeting. NOTE: At the Division I level, athletic representatives (boosters) may not contact you for the purpose of recruiting. WHAT CAN TROY OFFER YOU TO ATTEND? You (or your family) may not receive any benefit, inducement or arrangements (e.g. cash, clothing, cars, gifts, loans, etc ...) to encourage you to sign a National Letter of Intent. Troy University may offer you a one-year scholarship that covers room and board, tuition and fees, and required course-related books, or any part of these. Troy University can recomment that this aid is renewed each year, as is the general practice at the institution, but this renewal is not guaranteed. BOOSTERS WHO IS A “BOOSTER”? A “booster” is known in NCAA terms as a “representative of the institution’s athletics interests.” You become a booster if: -- you have ever been a member of any organization promoting TROY athletics; -- you have ever made any type of donation to the any TROY booster organiza tion or club; -- you have ever assisted in evaluating or recruiting prospective student-athletes; -- you have ever assisted in providing benefits to enrolled student-athletes or their families; -- you have promoted TROY athletics in any other manner.

DR. JACK HAWKINS, JR. University Chancellor 22nd year University of Montevallo, ‘70 Hawkins’ professional background includes his service as an assistant dean at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (1971-1979) and as president of the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind in Talladega (1979-1989).
Dr. Jack Hawkins, Jr., a native of Mobile, Alabama, was named Chancellor of Troy University Sept. 1, 1989. He earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Montevallo and his doctorate from the University of Alabama. Upon completion of his bachelor’s degree in 1967, Hawkins was commissioned a lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps and served as a platoon leader during the Vietnam War. For his combat duty, he received the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart and a citation from the Korean Marine Corps. Hawkins has overseen an era of change and growth at TROY, as worldwide enrollment has more than doubled from 14,000 in 1989 to approximately 30,000 today. He led the merger of the worldwide Troy State University System into the unified Troy University, an initiative called “One Great University.” More than $200 million has been invested in capital improvements by the Hawkins Administration, including new academic buildings on all four of TROY’s Alabama campuses. Chancellor Hawkins served as the catalyst for the University’s evolution to an international institution, as TROY has attracted record numbers of students from other nations and established more than 60 teaching sites around the world. During his tenure, academic standards for admission have been increased, new degree programs were established in all academic colleges, and intercollegiate athletics joined the highest level of NCAA competition.
2011 TROY Football Almanac

Director of Athletics
STEVE DENNIS Director of Athletics 7th year University of Georgia, ‘82 The last five years have also been marked by construction and growth of Troy University’s athletics facilities. The soccer and track teams moved into a brand-new facility. Riddle-Pace Field underwent $5 million in renovations that included the construction of the Lott Baseball Complex. Veterans Memorial Stadium saw the addition of two new luxury boxes and construction is under way for a brand-new multi-purpose arena that is expected to be open in time for the 2011-12 basketball season. Steve Dennis is in his sixth year as the Director of Athletics for Troy University in 2010 and his tenure has been marked by continued growth of all of Troy’s athletics programs in the Sun Belt Conference and Division I. Since his arrival at Troy in March of 2005 Dennis’ focus has been on the most important part of any athletics program, the student-athletes. Due to that emphasis Troy University student-athletes have led all members of the Sun Belt Conference, as well as all public institutions of higher education in Alabama, in Graduation Success Rate every year since his arrival. Over his four years Troy University student-athletes have posted grade point averages of 3.0 or better for a year more than 600 times. That high academic standard led Troy to enjoy the highest level of success possible under the NCAA’s Academic Progress Report for the 2008-09 and the 2009-10 school years, with all 16 NCAA sports above the mandated 92.5 percent. Troy University’s student-athletes have flourished on the field of play as well as in the class room. Troy’s baseball program has had 16 players drafted or signed to professional contracts while the football program has sent 24 players into professional football, including first-round draft picks DeMarcus Ware and Leodis McKelvin. The Troy football program has been especially successful under the watchful eye of Steve Dennis. The Trojans have won four consecutive Sun Belt Conference titles and have appeared in three bowl games since his arrival as Director of Athletics. That success on the field has translated to success in the stands as Troy has led the Sun Belt Conference in football attendance in each of the last four seasons.
2011 TROY Football Almanac
Dennis has also shepherded the athletics department through NCAA certification and, at the same time, completed a five-year strategic plan for the program’s continued growth. Externally, Dennis was instrumental in the formation of the Trojan Warriors, the athletic department’s booster club, as well as “The Legion” a student support group. Both groups have grown to more than 500 members in a short time and continue to grow annually. The athletics department also entered into a marketing agreement with International Sports Properties of Winston-Salem, NC, an agreement that was just renewed in 2009. Other external accomplishments have included chartering the “T” Letterman’s Club as a chapter of the Troy University National Alumni Association and the establishment of the Al Lucas Endowment for Student-Athlete Excellence. Over the last five years the Troy Athletics Department has hosted numerous state and regional athletics events, including the Sun Belt Conference Softball Championship in 2008 and the SBC Baseball Championship in 2009. Other events have included Special Olympics, AHSAA and AISA championships. Dennis came to the Troy family from Auburn University, where he served in a variety of capacities beginning in 1985. His final assignment was as the Associate Director of Tigers Unlimited, the Athletics Department’s Development office. In that position, he was responsible for identifying, cultivating and soliciting support from individuals, private industry and corporations for the Athletics Department. A native of Macon, Ga., Dennis graduated from the University of Georgia, Cum Laude, in 1978.
While at Georgia, he was the Bulldogs’ defensive captain in 1978 and was an Academic All-Southeastern Conference selection that same season. During his playing career, he played in three bowl games for the Bulldogs. His foundation as a student-athlete guides Dennis in his quest to take Troy athletics toward great things in the future. Dennis started his professional career as a high school teacher, football coach and baseball coach in Windsor (Ga.). He started his collegiate coaching career at the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga in 1981. In four-plus seasons, he coached outside linebackers, the defensive line and special teams for the Moccasins. Dennis went to work as the defensive backs and special teams coach at Auburn in 1985, and he remained on the Tigers’ staff for eight seasons. He was named the SEC Working Coach of the Year in 1986 by The Birmingham Touchdown Club. During his initial stint with the Tigers, he coached alongside current Troy head coach Larry Blakeney. Current Troy assistant coach Shayne Wasden, as well as former assistant coaches Mike Pelton and James Joseph, all played for the Tigers while Dennis served on the coaching staff. Dennis returned to his alma mater in December of 1993, and worked as the defensive backs and special teams coach for the Bulldogs for two seasons. From 1997 until 2002, Dennis was out of college athletics. He worked in sales, marketing and promotions for Georgia Southern Wood, Inc., serving in that role from 1997 until 2000. He then worked at Cleveland Brothers Construction from 2000 until 2002. Dennis returned to Auburn to coach tight ends in 2002, before moving to fund-raising within the Auburn Athletics Department in 2003. During his college coaching career, he was part of seven bowl teams and one Division I-AA playoff team. Dennis and his wife, Lisa, have four children - Chris, Cale, Corey and Allison.

Season Preview - The Quest For Six Titles Is On Coming off a share of a fifth straight Sun Belt Conference title, the Troy Trojans went into spring practice looking to build depth at several key spots while also finding replacements for departed starters. The Trojans capped their 2010 campaign with a convincing victory over Ohio University in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl in December but return only four starters on the offensive side of the ball. Troy is much more experienced on defense with 11 players who have significant starting experience returning. Like most years, the key areas of focus were on the offensive and defensive lines, but another area with numerous vacancies to fill is receiver, where five seniors – including the Sun Belt Conference all-time leader in all-purpose yards, Jerrel Jernigan – and two others with 20 or more receptions last year, must be replaced. Defensively, the Trojans lose a starting end and a starting linebacker, but return six players in the secondary, including safety Barry Valcin who missed the entire 2010 season following a freak ankle injury suffered just days before the season-opener. Troy coach Larry Blakeney, who will be in his 21st season in 2011, said the message he shares with his team is no different this year from any other. “You always have to be motivated to win a championship, and that is what I talk about,” Blakeney said. “We are used to winning but, like I say every year, the team that wins it will probably have to overcome a loss. We had to overcome two losses last year.” Blakeney said the momentum the team gained from consecutive wins at the end of the season, capped by the bowl victory, sent the Trojans into the off season on a high note. “The bowl win is a real positive,” Blakeney said. “Our accountability program has been good again. The team concept, with peer pressure, is big for us. It gives all of them something to talk about during the off season.” Work on the defensive side of the ball in the spring was focused on filling the openings in the starting lineup while, at the same time, building the depth necessary to compete at a high level in the fourth quarter or when injuries take players out of the mix. Up front, junior Jonathan Massaquoi is back at one defensive end position from a sophomore campaign in which he piled up 76 tackles, including 20.5 for loss and 13.5 sacks. Expectations in 2011 are high for Massaquoi, who has been named to several preseason award watch lists. On the other side, senior John Robles (16 tackles) and Brandon Boudreaux (6 tackles) head a list of candidates to replace departed senior Mario Addison (47 tackles, 15.5 TFL, 10.5 sacks). Robles, especially, has benefitted from spending a full year, including the summer, on the Troy campus. He has transformed himself from a thin speed end, to a powerful end with speed. “We signed two JC guys who have a chance to help us,” Blakeney said of Xavian Evans and Marty Stadom. “We really want to redshirt them, but we probably won’t be able to. We have some guys inside who may be able to play outside, but those two junior college ends may be able to come in and give us some depth.” On the inside, senior Emanuel Dudley is back at nose tackle and junior Tony Davis returns at defensive tackle. Both have a host of experienced players behind them, giving the Trojans solid depth.

lyst in our last four games. He is a walk-on who earned a scholarship and helped us. Injuries could hurt us, but I think we have quality guys in the two-deep.” The secondary was in constant flux last year due to graduation in injury losses. The up side is that the Trojans return a host of players with starting experience, but it was a newcomer who made the biggest impression during the spring. Junior Brynden Trawick was a mid-term junior college signee from Northeast Mississippi CC who turned heads with his size (6-3, 210) and play during the spring. “Trawick is a good guy back there,” Blakeney said. “He can cover some ground and has great ball skills. I am excited about him. He is a coach’s son and has already matured a lot since he has been here.” Trawick’s play in the spring moved him past senior LaDarrius Madden (49 tackles, three interceptions) into the starting role at strong safety. Another newcomer, sophomore Angelo Hadley a midterm JC signee from Butler County CC in Kansas, has a chance to provide added depth. At the other safety spot, Barry Valcin returns after missing the 2010 season with an ankle injury. He had 51 tackles as an 11game starter in 2009. He is joined by sophomore Cameron Hudson (27 tackles). In addition, freshman Joe Lofton showed that he might be ready to contribute sooner rather than later. Both corner spots are stacked with players who enter 2011 with starting experience. Senior Jimmie Anderson (28 tackles) returns on one side where he will get support from junior college transfer

With Tony Davis and Dudley, those are the two savvy, not very pretty and not very big, guys who know how to play with their hands,” Blakeney said. A duo who will enter camp behind Dudley at nose tackle are junior Jeremy Elder and sophomore Shermane Teart. “Elder has worked hard and done well away from the field,” Blakeney said. “I am proud of his evolution as a man. Teart did some good things in the spring at nose and shows hope.” Behind Davis at tackle, sophomores John Clark and Aaron Williams have both shown signs of becoming contributors. “Clark really needs to come on for us and be a player,” Blakeney said. “He has a chance to be a good player if he can continue to grow. He is taller with long arms and is what you want in a three. I hope the clock ticks and the light comes on for Aaron Williams. He is a great kid, but has to stay healthy.” The other starting vacancy on defense is at the Sam linebacker/ Nickel position formerly occupied by Daniel Sheffield (78 tackles in 2010). Junior Kanorris Davis (43 tackles) and sophomore Johnny Thompson, who suffered a broken leg in the opener last year, are expected to fill the void nicely. “Kanorris and Johnny have really improved,” Blakeney said. “They have great ability and if they will continue to learn and be in the right position, they have a chance to make big things happen. Both of them made plays in the spring.” Senior Xavier Lamb (91 tackles) returns at the Mike linebacker spot with a redshirt freshman, Brach Bessant, and junior transfer Ty Burt behind him. Junior Brannon Bryan (24 tackles) returns after starting the final four games last year at Will linebacker. Junior Jacoby Thomas (23 tackles), who has filled a number of roles on the defense, is behind Bryan. “Xavier and Jocoby both had good springs,” Blakeney said. “I think there is hope for Bessant as well. Brannon Bryan was a cata-

David Whitmore and junior Bryan Willis (31 tackles). Sophomore Chris Pickett (37 tackles) enters the fall as the starter on the other side. Junior college transfer D.J. Jones, who started his collegiate career at Wake Forest and Willis will provide depth. “Jimmie Anderson is a great play-maker, but he is the smallest guy we have,” Blakeney said. “I think Pickett has a great future, Cam Hudson had a good spring and I was impressed with Hadley. Getting Valcin back is big because he is a good player. Madden is good and Joe Lofton made some plays in the spring game. Bryan Willis needs to play within his abilities. The minute he gets to thinking he can do too much is when he gets hurt.” Trojans defensive coordinator Jeremy Rowell said the focus going into fall camp will be on solidifying depth. “Depth is always a concern,” Rowell said. “Depth at linebacker and at defensive end is especially a concern. We have depth there, but it is inexperienced depth. We can move some guys around if we have to. Most of the guys we have at linebacker are interchangeable.” On the offensive side of the ball, even with the loss of five senior receivers, there is reason to believe the Trojans will be as productive as in 2010 when they averaged 34.1 points and 453.5 yards per game. That optimism starts at the quarterback position where sophomore Corey Robinson returns. The 2010 Sun Belt Freshman of the Year, and New Orleans Bowl MVP, passed for 3,726 yards and 28 touchdowns during his first season of collegiate competition, completing 63.6 percent of his throws while averaged 286.6 passing yards per game. “I think it is pretty obvious that how he (Robinson) goes is how we go,” Blakeney said. “He knows that and we know that. Corey needs to be the total guy who understands the situation at all times. He is starting to realize some things and that, as well as little things like carrying out fakes, running every now and then when it is there, will be big.”

Offensive coordinator Kenny Edenfield said he has seen his sophomore signal caller grow significantly with his leadership skills since late last season. “From the last couple of games last season until now he has really improved his leadership,” Edenfield said. “He has more of an understanding and a good feel for what we want to do. He has gotten to the point where he is able to say ‘hey coach, what about ...’. When they get to that point, where they are seeing what you want and they can start to make some suggestions, then I think you are headed in the right direction.” The big question mark at quarterback is with the backups. Senior Jamie Hampton went through spring without contact after suffering a compound leg fracture in early October. With him out of action, Robinson had to take virtually every snap at quarterback the rest of the way in 2010. Having Hampton back will be important this fall because there are only freshmen behind him. “Hopefully, he can stay healthy,” Edenfield said. “He has really taken a leadership role with all of these young receivers this summer. He has had them over to eat together. They have worked hard together. It is going to be really exciting, if he can stay healthy, and that is always the question. We have to make sure we keep his arm ready to roll and make sure he doesn’t take too many hits.” A pair of freshmen, who both gray-shirted in 2010, went through spring practice in an effort to give the team some insurance in case Robinson were to go down. Luke Barnes had a slight edge over K.D. Edenfield in the spring, but the pair will enter the fall on almost equal footing. They will be joined by a pair of true freshmen in camp. Dallas Tidwell is a signee from Gardendale who has the height (6-6), but

both of these guys are true tight ends.” Among true receivers, only two return with experience from last year. Senior Brett Moncrief, who missed all of spring drills as well as summer individual work as the result of a broken foot, had 16 receptions for 214 yards and two scores in 2010 to lead all returners. Sophomore Eric Thomas had nine receptions for 120 yards and a score. The only three other returning players who recorded at least five receptions in 2010 are all running backs. That group, which includes juniors Shawn Southward, Chris Anderson and D.J. Taylor, can expect to see their opportunities to catch the ball increase in 2011. “Chris Anderson has cross trained at receiver and running back,” Edenfield said. “He and Justin Albert can play either position full time so we have the possibility of starting a set with two backs and then going to four wide. We will be able to have some personnel issues that will create some opportunities for guys. D.J. Taylor gives us an opportunity to do that as well by splitting him out. We are hoping some of that stuff will play into helping those young receivers, especially early on.” Despite the loss of the large group of receivers, the Trojans have a host of talented players ready to step up. Junior college transfer Corey Johnson from Garden City CC in Kansas showed he has the ability to be a playmaker and young players like Albert and B.J. Chitty, among others, will also have an opportunity. “We have zero production coming back from last year, and we are looking for who will be those productive guys,” Edenfield said. “We had a good spring, and we have an idea coming out of spring, but things change. Last summer we had two or three guys who really busted their tails and turned into productive players. That is the fun part of coaching, trying to see who will be that next guy to step

has not yet filled in. Fellow freshman, walk-on Hunter Armstrong from Greenville, will also be on the field during fall camp. As Edenfield said, the key for the offensive will be in protecting Robinson. Senior James Brown, an Outland Trophy candidate, is back at left tackle, and junior left guard Kyle Wilborn is expected back after off-season shoulder and ankle surgeries. The other three spots are still up for grabs with only junior Jacob Creech, who started three games before a season-ending shoulder surgery, having any significant experience. Senior Zach Swindall came out of spring as the starter at center and redshirt freshman Terrence Jones has a leg up at right tackle. “I think those guys up front are going to be better,” Blakeney said. “Terrence Jones had to go against Massaquoi every day during the spring and he held his own. There are some young guys who have a chance to help us – Cody Woodiel, Zach Johnson, Dalton Bennett. Jared Fleming has shown signs of being able to play. We also have some junior college guys coming in who can give us some depth.” The Trojans must also replace Donnie Crosby at tight end and have a pair of sophomores ready to fill the void. UCF transfer Jim Teknipp has a slight edge over Gavin Ellis, but both with play. “Both guys at tight end have grown and gotten better,” Blakeney said. “I think we have to do a better job of getting the ball to them in position to catch it.” Edenfield said the duo gives the Trojans some offensive options that have not been available in the past. “They give us some versatility and they will both be in the game at the same time some,” Edenfield said. “Both of them have really good hands, but they are also physical guys. They are both sophomores who have a bright future. If we can develop a package for them and develop it over the next couple of years, they can really help us. We’ve never really had this type of guy before. We’ve had some guys who just worked hard and did what they could do, but

up. I think that we have some guys, but they are just all inexperienced.” Despite the loss of DuJuan Harris, a career 2,500 yard rusher, and Jernigan, who ran for 322 yards in 2010, the Trojans have two-time leading rusher Shawn Southward back as a junior along with fellow juniors Chris Anderson (388), D.J. Taylor (60) and T.J. Mitchell (74). “Shawn Southward is good,” Blakeney said. “I have been impressed with D.J. Taylor as a runner, a blocker and as a receiver. He has come a long ways. Justin Albert has shown us a lot. He can move back and forth from running back to H, a lot like Chris Anderson. He is a pretty cagy guy.” On special teams, both kicker Michael Taylor (17-22 on FG) and punter Will Goggans (42.2 ypp) return for their senior seasons. The question will be in replacing Jernigan in the return game where he piled up 306 yards on punt returns and 630 on kickoffs, scoring a touchdown on each. “I think Corey Johnson and Justin Albert will be back on punts and Southward and Anderson on kickoffs,” Blakeney said. “I think we are going to be OK on special teams. Both the kicker and punter are seniors and are solid guys.” Going after a sixth straight Sun Belt title will be a daunting task, but one the Trojans are gearing up for in 2011. The adventure will start at Clemson on September 3.

HEAD COACH AUBURN, 1970
21st SEASON AS TROY HEAD COACH
BLAKENEY FILE
For the past two decades there have been very few constants in college athletics.

Among the few constants on the landscape of college football is Trojans head coach Larry Blakeney. Entering his 21st season in 2011, Blakeney, quite simply, has been a winner throughout his career. A 2009 inductee into the prestigious Alabama Sports Hall of Fame, Blakeney has been at the forefront of the move of the entire Troy University athletics program from the ranks of Division II, through Division I-AA and into Division I-A. He has run a program that is based on integrity and has been regularly recognized by the American Football Coaches Association for high graduation rates.
Throughout his career, Blakeney has been recognized by his peers, by the people he has worked for and with, and by the sporting community at large. He has been named to four separate Halls of Fame, PLAYING CAREER:................................Auburn (‘66-69) ....................................................................

This past spring, Blakeney was awarded with the ultimate honor - the playing surface at the university’s home stadium was to be named after the legendary head coach. The home field at Troy University will now, and forever be known as Larry Blakeney Field at Veterans Memorial Stadium. But his impact on Troy athletics goes beyond wins and losses. Yes, the Trojans have captured eight conference titles during his tenure. Yes, the Trojans have literally sent scores of players on to successful careers as professional football players. But the Troy football program has sent thousands of men on to successful lives away from football. Many of the players who have come to Troy to play for Blakeney never had a positive male role model in their lives. That changes when they become Trojans. Even with all of the obligations and responsibilities that come with the job, if you ask any player who has taken the field for the Trojans over the last 20 years, they will tell you that he is a players’ coach. He cares about the young men who play for him, and not just during their time at Troy. From his time as a quarterback at Auburn University, to his highly successful high school coaching career, from his 14 years as an assistant coach at his alma mater when the Tigers enjoyed an unprecedented run of success to his now 20 seasons at Troy University, Blakeney has always been associated with a job well done. His tenure at Troy University has been nothing less than remarkable. During his 20 years, he has led the Trojans to a 161-82-1 record, posting the third-best winning percentage among all programs in the state of Alabama during that span. As the school’s longest-serving and most successful head coach of all time, Blakeney led the Troy football program to an unequaled run of success that has taken the Trojans from Division II to the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) and now to the grandest stage of all, the Football Bowl

Coaching Staff - Head Coach Subdivision (FBS). Blakeney has guided the Trojans to 15 winning seasons, including six seasons of 10 wins or more and he currently stands fourth among all college coaches to have manned a sideline in the state of Alabama with 161 victories. Since guiding the Trojans into the Sun Belt Conference in 2004, Blakeney has enjoyed what can only be termed stunning success at the highest level of the game. In six seasons his teams have won five conference crowns and appeared in five bowl games. Blakeney enters his 21st season at Troy University seeking a sixth consecutive Sun Belt Conference title. Only three programs in the history of what is now the Football Bowl Subdivision have won as many as six straight league crowns – Ohio State in the Big 10 (6, 1972-77), USC in the Pac 10 (7, 2002-08) and BYU in the WAC (10, 1976-85). The Trojans joined an exclusive list last season with their fifth consecutive conference crown. Only two other programs in the history of what is now the Football Bowl Subdivision have won as many as five straight league crowns – Florida State in the ACC (5, 1996-2000) and Alabama in the SEC (5, 1971-75). Not surprisingly, the coaches of those championship runs have gone down in history as some of the best in the history of the game – Bobby Bowden at FSU, Paul “Bear” Bryant at Alabama, Woody Hayes at OSU, Pete Carroll at USC and Lavelle Edwards at BYU. A sixth straight Sun Belt title in 2011 would give Blakeney his rightful place among the all-time greats of the game; tying him with Woody Hayes of Ohio State for consecutive conference crowns. The run of championship success in the Sun Belt started in 2006 when, in just the third season in the league, the Trojans captured their first Sun Belt Conference title. They completed that remarkable season by winning the first bowl game in school history, a decisive 41-17 victory over Rice in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. The championship roll continued in 2007 as the Trojans earned a share of their second consecutive title, posting an 8-4 record that included nationally-televised victories over Oklahoma State and Middle Tennessee.

2011 TROY Football Almanac
In 2003, the Trojans posted a 6-6 mark against one of the most challenging schedules in the nation. The slate included eight road games, contests that included traditional powers Kansas State, Minnesota, Nebraska and Virginia. In addition, the Trojans defeated Marshall and UAB, and played four other schools from the Sun Belt Conference. The Trojans played their first official season as a FBS member in 2002 after going 7-4 in their “transition” season in 2001. Included in the 2001 win total were three wins over FBS foes and a monumental upset of SEC power Mississippi State, the school’s first victory over a BCS-conference school. Of the team’s four losses, three came against opponents ranked in the Top 15 nationally; national-runner-up Nebraska, 15th-ranked Maryland and national champion Miami, Fla. In 2002, the Trojans were 4-8 against a schedule that included games against two SEC schools, three Big 12 opponents, in-state rival UAB and perennial bowl participant Marshall. The Troy defense finished fourth in the nation in total defense despite the challenging slate. While a member of the FCS, the Trojans enjoyed one of the most successful runs in school history. Over eight seasons, the Trojans advanced to the national semifinals twice and the FCS postseason seven times, including an NCAA-record four consecutive seasons after making the move from NCAA Division II in 1993. When the Trojans jumped to FBS status, Blakeney made NCAA history, becoming one of only two coaches to lead a program from NCAA Division II to the FBS, joining Central Florida’s Gene McDowell. Blakeney’s journey at Troy University began on December 3, 1990, when he was hired as the 20th head coach in school history. During the 1980s, Troy won two NCAA Division II national championships, but the program was in a rebuilding phase upon Blakeney’s arrival. In the three years prior to his arrival, the Trojans had combined for a 13-17 overall record. His first two seasons came during the “transition” period in the move to FCS status. The program was still technically Division II, although it was not allowed to compete in the playoffs. Blakeney’s first team finished 5-6, but a 10-1 second year, which included a 41-7 win over FBS member Arkansas State, gave Troy fans a glimpse of what was to come. Troy hit its first full season of FCS play running in 1993 when Blakeney led the Trojans to a 12-1-1 finish and a berth in the FCS semifinals. The 10-0-1 regular season finish was the program’s first undefeated • 33 •

Coaching Staff - Head Coach season in school history while playing a complete schedule. Troy finished the regular season as the PROMINENT PLAYERS COACHED BY LARRY BLAKENEY top-ranked team in country according to the Sports Network. The following season brought an 8-4 record and another berth in the playoffs. The Trojans lost in the first round at James Madison, but they proved they deserved a spot among the elite programs, finishing the year ranked 12th. The 1995 season brought the first unbeaten and untied regular season to the school annals when Troy took an 11-0 record into the postseason before losing in the first round to Georgia Southern. Troy entered the playoffs ranked third in the nation. For all of the success the team enjoyed in its first three FCS seasons, Blakeney’s rebuilding skills were displayed once again during the 1996 season after the loss of 23 seniors from the 1995 squad. Going into its first season of play in the Southland Football League, the Trojans won the league by posting a 5-1 mark and a 10-1 record overall. Troy finished the year 12-2 and again marched to the FCS semifinals. That netted a fourth-place finish in the Sports Network Top 25 and a 12th-place ranking in the ESPN/USA Today poll. The 1996 seniors certainly left their mark, finishing their careers as the all-time most successful class at Troy with a 43-8-1 mark over four years. That eclipsed the 1995 senior class that had amassed a 41-7-1 record. Those groups represented Blakeney’s first two recruiting classes at Troy. The Trojans became the first team in NCAA history to advance to the FCS playoffs in their first four seasons of eligibility, and finished with seven playoff berths in eight full seasons of FCS membership. Untimely, injuries and four losses by seven points or less doomed the 1997 team as it slipped to a 5-6 record despite an early-season ranking that saw the Trojans rise as high as number two nationally. A return to the FCS playoffs in 1998 highlighted an 8-4 season that saw the Trojans finish 11th (Sports Network) and 13th (ESPN/USA Today) in the polls. The Trojans climbed back to the top of the charts in 1999 when they were the consensus top-ranked team in the country for a four-week period en route to finishing 11-2 overall and winning the Southland League football championship. The Trojans also advanced to the FCS quarterfinals and finished with a number six national ranking in all three polls. Senior defensive lineman Al Lucas became the first National Player of the Year in school history by winning the Buck Buchanan Award as the top FCS defensive player. Blakeney won back-to-back SFL Coach of the Year awards in 1999 and 2000, and was also honored as Regional Coach of the Year in back-to-back years by the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA). During the summer of 2000, he was honored with the Johnny Vaught Lifetime Achievement Award by the All-American Football Foundation. Prior to his arrival in Troy, Blakeney had a variety of roles in his 14 seasons at Auburn. He began TOP COLLEGIATE COACHES IN STATE HISTORY (By Victories)

his coaching career as the assistant offensive line coach during the 1977 and 1978 seasons. That was followed by stints with the Tigers’ tight ends and wide receivers coach from 1978 until 1980, and then a focus strictly on wide receivers from 1981 until 1990. From 1986-90, Blakeney was also the Tigers’ offensive play-caller. During that time, Auburn posted a 47-10-3 record and won three Southeastern Conference championships. They also were 3-1-1 in bowl games over that span. Auburn had a 110-50-3 record during his time with the program, including four SEC championships and nine bowl appearances (6-2-1). In 1990, he was honored by the Chilton County Auburn Club with its “Unsung Hero Award.” Before joining the coaching staff at his alma mater, Blakeney coached seven seasons in the Alabama high school ranks. He was the head coach at Southern Academy (1970-71), Walker High School (1972-74) and Vestavia Hills High School (1975-76). He compiled a 50-24-2 record during his time as a prep head coach. A 1970 graduate of Auburn University with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Blakeney was a three-year letterman (1966-69) at quarterback for the legendary Ralph “Shug” Jordan. He was the first sophomore ever to start at quarterback for Jordan, and Auburn played in two bowl games during Blakeney’s career. The 1968 team defeated Arizona 34-10 in the Sun Bowl, while the 1969 squad lost 36-7 to Houston in the Bluebonnet Bowl. Blakeney was a two-sport star for the Tigers, also lettering in baseball (1968-69) while playing shortstop and third base for legendary coach Paul Nix. He earned his Master’s degree in Education from the University of Montevallo in 1976. Blakeney was born September 21, 1947, in Birmingham, but grew up in Gordo where he played football, baseball and basketball at Gordo High School. He is married to the former Janice Powell. The couple has three daughters, Kelley and twins, Julie and Tiffany. Kelley, a graduate of Troy University and the UAB Medical School, is a doctor of pathology in Columbia, Tenn.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - With just 69 seconds left on Saturday at Legion Field, UAB needed go 99 yards to score a winning touchdown against a staggering Troy defense. The Blazers covered the final 44 of those yards on a “Hail Mary” pass as time expired, with Jackie Williams wrestling the ball away from a trio of Troy defenders just outside the goal line. He was rewarded for his efforts with a touchdown call, which was upheld by replay.
TROY, Ala. - After an extremely long and difficult Saturday of football, the Troy Trojans found themselves staring at a one-point deficit to Arkansas State with just 49 seconds left in the game and 67 yards of soggy turf to cover. After playing four straight games decided in the final seconds, including consecutive lastsecond losses in the last two weeks, a lot of teams would have simply accepted their fate. The Trojans, however, did not do that.
UAB (1-2) converted the PAT with no time on the clock to take a 34-33 victory from the stunned Trojans (1-2).
Freshman Corey Robinson led the team on a five-play drive that used just 28 seconds off the clock to scoring the winning points in a 35-28 Trojans victory over the Red Wolves in the Sun Belt Conference opener for the four-time defending league champions.

COLUMBIA, S.C. - The SEC’s Eastern Division Champions left no doubt to the Troy Trojans football team on how they earned that title. South Carolina defeated the Trojans 69-24 Saturday afternoon. “I don’t know what happened,” Troy head coach Larry Blakeney said. “We couldn’t tackle them. We couldn’t hold on to the ball. We gave them a chance to beat us today with fumbles and interceptions and dropped snaps. We talked about trying to salvage something out of the second half, and I think we did salvage something out of it against a very good football team.”

TROY, Ala. - Thankfulness was the common theme for the Troy University football team on Saturday after the Trojans achieved bowl eligibility and kept hopes alive for a fifth straight Sun Belt Conference title with a 28-14 victory over Western Kentucky. The Trojans decided they would not be denied on senior day.
BOCA RATON, Fla. - The Troy Trojans put a quick damper on any celebration Florida Atlantic had planned for venerable Lockhart Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Trojans raced out to a 20-0 lead in the first quarter and then coasted to a 44-7 victory over the Owls in the regular season finale for both teams.
“We wanted to go out with a bang,” Jerrel Jernigan said. “It was a great game. I went out how I wanted to go out. Since the first day I stepped on campus, the Troy University family took me in. The coaches, the teachers, and I want to thank them for all they did for me.”
Troy improved to 7-5 overall on the year and 5-2 in league play while dropping FAU to 4-8 overall and 3-5 in the Sun Belt. The Trojans learned as they landed that they claimed a share of their fifth consecutive Sun Belt Conference championship as Middle Tennessee defeated FIU on Saturday night.

Season Recap - Game 13 (New Orleans Bowl) D18 • Louisiana Superdome • New Orleans, La.
Ohio 21 TROY 48 NEW ORLEANS, La. - The Trojans made it look easy in the Big Easy as they rolled to a 48-21 victory over the Ohio Bobcats in the10th Anniversary R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. The Trojans improved to 8-5 on the season while dropping the Bobcats to the same mark. “We’re certainly proud to be sitting here as the victors over Ohio U,” Troy head coach Larry Blakeney said. “We prepared well, and I think our kids, after coming back from some pretty tough losses and closing with two wins and being the co-champs, helped motivate us. We haven’t won here since we beat Rice. I felt a lot of energy. I wanted to make sure it wasn’t just about being in New Orleans.” Score by Quarters 1 2 3 4 OT1 OT2 FINAL Ohio 7 0 7 7 - - 21 TROY 14 24 10 0 - - 48 Scoring Summary: First Quarter 9:52 (TROY) - Jernigan 12-yard run (Taylor kick) 10-78 (4:12) 4:59 (OHIO) - Goulet 34-yard pass from Jackson (Weller kick) 8-81 (4:53) 1:57 (TROY) - Gill 31-yard pass from Robinson (Taylor kick) 8-76 (3:02) Second Quarter 12:42 (TROY) - Jernigan 16-yard pass from Robinson (Taylor kick) 7-66 (2:11) 8:33 (TROY) - Taylor 50-yard field goal 6-36 (1:50) 2:56 (TROY) - Gill 17-yard pass from Robinson (Taylor kick) 8-80 (3:54) 0:36 (TROY) - Gill 26-yard pass from Robinson (Taylor kick) 6-55 (0:57) Third Quarter 11:58 (TROY) - Taylor 33-yard field goal 10-48 (3:02) 8:31 (OHIO) - Foster 5-yard pass from Jackson (Weller kick) 8-93 (3:27) 6:36 (TROY) - Harris 2-yard run (Taylor kick) 6-83 (1:55) Fourth Quarter 5:07 (OHIO) - Dunlop 18-yard pass from Jackson (Weller kick) 9-54 (5:40) STATISTICS FIRST DOWNS RUSHES-YARDS (NET) PASSING-YARDS (NET) Passes Att-Comp-Int TOTAL OFFENSE-YARDS Fumbles Returns-Yards-Touchdowns Punt Returns-Yards-Touchdowns Kickoff Returns-Yards-Touchdowns Interception Returns-Yards-Touchdowns Punts (Number-Avg) Fumbles-Lost Penalties-Yards Possession Time Third-Down Conversions Fourth-Down Conversions Red Zone Scores-Chances Sacks by: Number-Yards

National Championship Teams - 1968 NAIA Led by a record-setting aerial attack and a defense that recorded four shutouts, the Red Wave claimed the 1969 NAIA National Championship with a 43-35 victory over Texas A&I at Cramton Bowl (Montgomery, Ala.). Under the guidance of third-year head coach Bill Atkins, Troy opened the season with a 49-31 win over Samford. In that game, quarterback Sim Byrd threw five touchdowns, hitting 23-of-33 passes for 443 yards. The Red Wave continued to roll, winning its first seven games. Byrd led Troy past Delta State, 35-23, connecting on 34-of49 passes for 325 yards and three touchdowns; also rushing for two touchdowns. Her followed that performance with five touchdown passes, all to Danny Grant, in a 52-0 win over McNeese State. Troy had risen to number three in the national poll before dropping a 12-3 decision to Tennessee-Martin. Byrd and Heard threw eight interceptions as the Red Wave could only muster a 34-yard field goal by Randy Hicks in the loss. Troy bounced back the next week, and demolished Concordia (W.Va.), 76-0, on Homecoming at Movie Gallery Stadium, rising back to number four in the NAIA rankings and earning a berth in the playoffs. Byrd was at it again, throwing for six touchdowns and rushing for another, while Ronnie Shelley returned two punts for touchdowns. The Red Wave advanced to the title game with a 63-10 victory over Willamette (Ore.) in the semifinals. Byrd threw for six touchdowns, while his back-up Al Heard threw two. Shelley joined the scoring with a 66-yard interception.

Ted Clem’s 50-yard field goal with no time remaining handed Troy an 18-17 win over North Dakota State and the 1984 Division II national championship in McAllen, Texas. With under 1:30 left in the game, Troy senior quarterback Carey Christensen, who had suffered a foot injury earlier in the season and split time with freshman Mike Turk, led Troy on a last-ditch drive. Starting from the Trojans’ 10-yard line, Christensen led Troy to the Bison 32.
Trailing No. 10 Mississippi College 7-0 in the fourth quarter, the Trojans scored twice in the final six minutes to pull out a 14-7 win. Turk began the rally with a quarterback sneak from the 1-yard line. On the ensuing kickoff, Brewster forced a fumble, which Troy recovered at the Choctaw 20. One play later, Turk found Rufus Cox with a TD pass to preserve the Trojans’ victory. The offense was back in order against Delta State, racking up 459 yards in a 35-20 win over the Statesmen. The Trojans then faced another setback, dropping a 13-10 decision to UNA. Troy had two chances late in the game, but an interception coupled with Clem missing a 39-yard field goal with nine seconds left, sealed Troy’s fate. Troy bounced back to win its last two games and the Gulf South Conference title. The Trojans routed UT-Martin, 31-7, on Homecoming and wrapped up the regular season with a 42-39 victory over archrival Jacksonville State. With the GSC title, the Trojans advanced to the Division II playoffs and hosted Central State (Ohio) in the quarterfinals. The wishbone offense flexed its muscles, running up 579 yards of offense, as Troy pulled out a 31-21 win. The semifinals were a repeat of the quarterfinals as the offense ruled the day. Troy pounded out 537 yards and demolished Towson State, 45-3, to advance to the title game.
With the clock running, the kicking team was rushed onto the field. Clem’s foot met the ball as the horn sounded, and his attempt sailed through the uprights for the win. “The Kick,” as it is known in Trojan football lore, was the longest field goal in Division II playoff history at the time. Clem was not the only freshman walk-on to make an impact on the Trojans winning the national title. Turk, who walked on in the spring of 1984, moved rapidly up the depth chart and was thrust into the starting role in the third game of the season after Christensen went down with a broken foot. Turk carried the load the rest of the season as the starter, going on to earn Gulf South Conference “Freshman of the Year” honors. Then coached by Chan Gailey, the Trojans opened the season with a 26-7 win over Nicholls State. The defense held the Colonels to just 83 yards on the ground, with Rufus Cox delivering the striking blow on a 51-yard touchdown catch from Christensen.

TROY TROJANS MAKE FIRST BOWL APPEARANCE OF DIVISION I ERA SAN JOSE, Calif. - The Trojans started their first appearance in a bowl game with bang, jumping to a 14-0 first quarter lead over Northern Illinois in the Fifth Annual Silicon Valley Football Classic, but the Huskies proved to be better in the mud, battling back to down the Trojans 34-21. The Trojans wasted little time getting on the scoreboard, taking the opening drive 78 yards in nine plays to take a 7-0 lead. Freshman quarterback D.T. McDowell found a diving Jason Samples on a 45-yard completion to the Huskies’ one-yard line, setting up a keeper over senior left guard Junior Louissaint for the score.
McDowell scored his second touchdown on the night on a four-yard run with 10:50 remaining in the game to snap a string of 34 unanswered NIU points. The Northern Illinois run of points began when Garrett Wolfe scored a 50-touchdown scamper in the first quarter to trim the lead to 14-7. Trojans senior DeWhitt Betterson was named the game’s offensive MVP after rushing for 150 yards on 25 carries. He also had an apparent 85yard third quarter touchdown run called back after a fan on the Northern Illinois sideline blew a whistle.
After the Huskies went three and out on their first possession, the Trojans put another drive together. This time it was a 73-yard possession that spanned eight plays and culminated with a 23-yard screen pass to senior Jermaine Richardson from McDowell with 6:05 to play in the opening quarter.

Trojans Claim 1st Bowl Victory NEW ORLEANS, La. - The talk around Troy practice all week leading up to the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl was about being the first team in school history to win a bowl game. The Trojans made sure their first trip to represent the Sun Belt Conference in New Orleans was a memorable one by jumping on the Rice Owls with 21 first quarter points and never looking back in a 41-17 victory in front of 24,791 fans at the Louisiana Superdome. Junior quarterback Omar Haugabook showed why he was named Sun Belt Player of the Year by running and passing for five touchdowns in earning game Most Valuable Player honors in unanimous fashion.

Troy (8-5) picked up a first down on their possession on a swing-pass to Jerrel Jernigan. Faced with a third-down just three plays later, the conversion failed.

Trojans Fall in First GMAC Bowl Appearance
MOBILE, Ala. - For the second time in as many seasons, the Troy University Trojans got their post-season hearts broken in the flash of an overtime blocked field goal. This time, in the 2010 GMAC Bowl, it was sophomore Michael Taylor’s attempt from 31 yards in the second overtime that was blocked by Central Michigan’s Vince Agnew, opening the door for the Chippewas’ game-winning 37-yard field goal in a 44-41 victory over Troy. “I hate [it] for the kids, it hurts them,” Trojans coach Larry Blakeney said. “I’m an old guy, I can handle it more readily. When your older and more mature your able to handle winning and losing a little better. “I’m proud of the Troy fans. They showed up and did their part. They’ll be like me, scratching around trying to get back to the GMAC bowl next year. I want to commend everyone from the leadership to the volunteers who took real good care of us.”

Trojans Truck Ohio in New Orleans Bowl NEW ORLEANS, La. - The Trojans made it look easy in the Big Easy as they rolled to a 48-21 victory over the Ohio Bobcats in the10th Anniversary R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. The Trojans improved to 8-5 on the season while dropping the Bobcats to the same mark. “We’re certainly proud to be sitting here as the victors over Ohio U,” Troy head coach Larry Blakeney said. “We prepared well, and I think our kids, after coming back from some pretty tough losses and closing with two wins and being the co-champs, helped motivate us. We haven’t won here since we beat Rice. I felt a lot of energy. I wanted to make sure it wasn’t just about being in New Orleans.” That “energy” resonated the most through the Trojans freshman quarterback who put on a show for ESPN’s national audience.

Two-time All-American defensive tackle Al Lucas claimed the award after the 1999 season. That year, he led the Trojans with an 11-2 record and a berth in the Division I-AA quarterfinals. He finished with 126 tackles, which ranked second on the team and recorded 20 tackles for loss during the season.

LEODIS MCKELVIN 2007 ALL-AMERICAN RIVALS, SPORTING NEWS, PRO WEEKLY
ONLY DIVISION I-A ALL-AMERICAN IN SCHOOL HISTORY Troy University senior Leodis McKelvin was named to the Rival.com 2007 All-America team in 2007. McKelvin is the first Trojan to be named first team All-America since Troy’s move to Division I-A (now Bowl Championship Division) in 2001. McKelvin earned his second All-America honor when he was named first team AllAmerica by The Sporting News. McKelvin was also named first team All-America by Pro Football Weekly as a cornerback. McKelvin, a native of Waycross, Ga., was selected as the punt returner on the 27-man squad. He was one of just two players from outside the six BCS conferences to be named, joining Utah punter Louis Sakoda. McKelvin is the only player in the nation to return three punts for touchdowns this season. He ranks third in the nation with an average of 18.3 yards per return; that includes a 74-yard touchdown against Oklahoma State, an 84-yard score against Florida International and a 52-yard touchdown against North Texas. He also led the Trojans in all-purpose yardage with 1,192 despite not having taken an offensive snap all season. He had 436 yards on 25 punt returns and 765 more yards on 33 kickoffs, recording an impressive 23.2 kickoff return average. The 5-11, 190-pound native of Waycross, Ga., also finished his Trojan career with seven career kick returns for touchdowns, one shy of the all-time NCAA record. An outstanding cover corner, as well, McKelvin recorded 60 total tackles during the season, 52 solo, added two interceptions, 11 pass break-ups and three forced fumbles and excelled against top competition in the Trojans’ biggest games such as Oklahoma State, Georgia, Arkansas and Florida. McKelvin was also one of seven Trojans named to the Rivals.com All-Sun Belt team for 2007. He was joined on the team by quarterback Omar Haugabook, offensive lineman Dion Small, defensive tackle Chris Bradwell, linebacker Boris Lee, defensive back Elbert Mack and kicker Greg Whibbs.

Trojans In the NFL Draft TROJANS IN THE NFL DRAFT The Troy Trojans name has become synonomous with the National Football League Draft over the last few years, but it didn’t start just recently. The first player drafted from the ranks of the Troy University football program was back 1969 when the Miami Dolphins took a chance on tight end Glenn Thompson. Since that year, there have been 31 players drafted into the ranks of the NFL, including six that have been drafted since joining the Sun Belt Conference. The Trojans still own the highest draft pick of any Sun Belt Conference member school when Demarcus Ware was selected 11th overall in 2004 by Dallas, only to be matched by Leodis McKelvin in 2008 when he was selected by the Buffalo Bills. The Trojans have also had numerous players sign free agent contracts with NFL teams throughout their history.

victory, however, was overshadowed by a pair of home losses and a 4-7 record. 2006 - The Trojans debuted a new offensive philosophy that moved away from the traditional power ground game the program was known for. Troy led the Sun Belt Conference in passing en route to their first league title. Near misses against Florida State and Georgia Tech early in the season, along with tough losses at UAB and Nebraska, left the Trojans at 1-4 heading into conference play.

He was also named to three All-American Teams in his senior season. 2008 - The Trojans faced the two teams that played in the BCS National Championship Game from the year before in LSU and Ohio State. The Trojans faced an opponent from the Big 10, Big 12 and SEC in their non-conference games. Troy won their third consecutive Sun Belt Conference Championship by dropping just one conference game throughout the season. The Trojans were rewarded for their efforts with a bid to the New Orleans Bowl and 13 selections to All-Sun Belt Conference Team at the conclusion of the season. 2009 - The Trojans finished off their first undefeated season in Sun Belt Conference history, running away for their fourth consecutive Sun Belt Conference championship and a berth in the GMAC Bowl. Their were several records broken during the season, with senior quarterback Levi Brown setting new marks for passing yards in a single season and passing yards in a single game (twice). He also rewrote the Sun Belt Conference history books, becoming the first quarterback to throw for more than 4,000 yards in a single season. 2010 - The Trojans claimed their first consecutive Sun Belt Conference championship, sharing the title with Florida International for the first time.

Troy University Football Glossary ALABAMA COLLEGIATE CONFERENCE
Formed in 1960, the ACC as it was known, was created by four in-state rivals; Troy, Jacksonville State, Florence State (now North Alabama) and Livingston (now West Alabama). The Trojans dominated the last three years of the conference, claiming the league title in 1967, 1968 and 1969. Its predecessor, the Alabama Intercollegiate Conference, was formed in 1938 by the same in-state schools, along with Marion Military and St. Bernard. It was the first conferene that the Trojans joined, and they would claim the league title for the first time in 1939. They also won back-to-back titles in 1941 and 1942.
BILLY ATKINS
Took over as head coach at Troy after William Clipson’s 1-8 season in 1965, and immediately revived the program. He brought the Trojans to national prominence, and during his six years his record was 44-16-2 including the 168 NAIA National Championship. He coached several of the all-time greats in Troy history including Sim Byrd, Ronnie Shelley and Vince Green. Atkins is second on the school’s all-time win list behind current head coach Larry Blakeney.
BATTLE FOR THE OL’ SCHOOL BELL
in a single season, which is the best in the Sun Belt history books at over 4,000 yards. He finished his career as the Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year, and was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the seventh round.
BUCK BUCHANAN AWARD
Following the 1999 season, two-time All-America defensive tackle Al Lucas claimed the award, given annually to the top defensive player in Division I-AA. Lucas tragically died as the result of an on-field injury suffered in an Arena Football League game on April 10, 2005.
SIM BYRD
One of the greatest players ever to play at Troy, Byrd owns many of the school’s all-time passing records. During his three seasons at quarterback, he guided the Trojans to a 24-8 record and the school’s first national championship, the NAIA title in 1968. Named first-team All-America and All-ACC his senior year in 1968, he set the single-season record for passing yards with 3,569 in 1968 while also setting school records for completions (260), attempts (414).
At every level of college football, there are great rivalries. For Troy, it is bitter rival Jacksonville State University. The two teams began playing each other in 1924, with the Gamecocks holding a 33-28-2 edge in the all-time series. However, the Trojans have won seven straight and 12-of-15 in the series. Both schools began as teacher colleges in the late 1800s, and, when the teams first played, they created a trophy that the winner would have until the teams met again the following year. School officials determined that it was fitting for two teachers colleges to play for a school bell. The Ol’ School Bell, as it is called, has been in Troy for the past 10 years and will remain in Troy in the near future since the teams are not scheduled to play against each other.

BOWL GAMES
NICK COLBERT
The Trojans have played in four bowl games in their history - the 1948 Paper Bowl, in Pensacola, Fla., the 2004 Silicon Valley Football Classic, in San Jose, Calif. and the 2006 and 2008 R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. The Trojans faced archrival Jacksonville State in the Paper Bowl, losing 19-0 at Pensacola High School’s new stadium, which had just one set of bleachers, according to records. The game was played on Dec. 18 and sponsored by Southern paper mills as a tribute to the nearly 100,000 workers in the industry at that time. An excerpt from the game program reads “the paper-making industry at Cantonment means much to Pensacola and this area of the state in payrolls and business generally ... December 18 was picked because students were at home for the holidays at this time, and many fans who would like to take in other bowl games later in the month, and on Jan. 1, will be able to do so at this time.” However, 2004 marked the first time the Trojans were eligible for an automatic bowl bid since moving to Division I-A. Troy’s new home, the Sun Belt Conference, sends its champion to the New Orleans Bowl each season in December. Even though Troy did not earn the automatic bid to the New Orleans Bowl, the Trojans did earn an invitation to the Silicon Valley Football Classic in San Jose, Calif. On a rainy night in California, the Trojans made their Division I-A bowl debut against Northern Illinois from the Mid-American Conference. After jumping out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter, the Trojans turned as cold as the weather and dropped a 34-21 decision to the Huskies. The Trojans earned their first bowl victory in 2005, downing Rice 41-17 in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. Troy earned its way into the bowl by posting a 6-1 record in Sun Belt Conference play to capture their first SBC title. Since that bowl game, the Trojans have played in two other bowl games, the 2008 New Orleans Bowl and the 2010 GMAC Bowl as conference champions.
LEVI BROWN
Levi Brown rewrote the history books in his final season of 2008. He holds school records for completions in a single game, attempts in a single game and passing yards in a single game (breaking his own record). He also holds the school record for passing yards
2011 TROY Football Almanac
Clem set the standard for all Troy kickers. He was the key participant in one of the most historic plays in school history - “The Kick” as it has been dubbed by Troy faithful. His 50-yard field goal as time expired gave Troy an 18-17 win over North Dakota State in 1984 and its first NCAA Division II national championship. Clem set the single-game record for points in a game with 14, and owns the career record book. Clem kicked 48 field goals in his four years in Troy, from 1984-87. He still holds the school record for attempts with 78 and consecutive PATs made (166). Nick Colbert was named as a 2000 College Football Scholar-Athlete by the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame. He was one of 16 award recipients named in 2000 for the award, which represents college football’s finest student-athletes from all divisions. Colbert graduated from Troy in May 2001 with his degree in Biology. He finished his degree boasting a grade point average better than 3.7. He was an annual member on the school’s Provost’s and Chancellor’s lists for academic excellence. Since 1959, when the first class was selected, 586 scholar-athletes have been awarded the honor based on superior academic performance, outstanding football ability, strong leadership and citizenship. Each scholar-athlete is awarded an $18,000 postgraduate scholarship and honored at the Foundation’s Annual Awards Dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York. Other notable athletes to earn the award along with Colbert were Purdue’s Drew Brees, Florida State’s Chris Weinke and a fellow Southland Football League athlete, McNeese State’s Wes Hines.
COMING-OUT PARTY
Troy made its Division I-A debut on Sept. 1, 2001, when the Trojans traveled to face fourthranked Nebraska. The Trojans showed they could play at the I-A level, taking an early 7-0 lead on a 9-yard touchdown run by Demontray Carter. Brock Nutter capped an improbable half, throwing a 31-yard touchdown pass to Heyward Skipper to cut the Cornhuskers’ lead to 28-14 at the intermission. The Trojans fought valiantly in the second half, keeping Nebraska out of the end zone on two drives inside the 1-yard line in the fourth quarter. Jimmy McClain stopped Eric Crouch on the 1-yard line, and the entire defense stopped Thunder Collins from leaping into the endzone.
CHAN GAILEY
Gailey led the Trojans to the 1984 Division II national championship. In his two seasons at Troy, Gailey led the Trojans to a 19-5 record. After taking over the program in 1983, he guided the Trojans to a five-game improvement, going 7-4 his fist year. His final year, he led the Trojans to the national title.
FIRST NIGHT GAME

GULF SOUTH CONFERENCE
Members from Troy, Delta State, Florence State (now North Alabama), Livingston (now West Alabama), Tennessee-Martin and Jacksonville State all met in Birmingham during the summer of 1970 to form the Mid-South Conference. Scheduling conflicts in the first year allowed competition only in football. Southeastern Louisiana and Nicholls State joined the conference later, giving the conference eight members and the league changed its name to the Gulf South Conference. On June 4, 1990, Troy officially withdrew from the GSC. During its 20 years in the GSC, Troy claimed six conference titles. The Trojans hold a 129-75-5 all-time record in GSC play.
JERREL JERNIGAN
OVERTIME GAMES
Troy has played five overtime games in its history, standing 1-4 in those contests. The latest occurred last season at the GMAC Bowl against Central Michigan in which the two teams battled into two overtime periods with Central Michigan winning 44-41. Prior to the that game, the latest occurred in 2008 at the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl against Southern Miss in which the Golden Eagles prevailed over Troy 30-27. Prior to that, the Trojans last overtime game came in 2005, as the Trojans fell 31-28 at UL-Lafayette on October 29. The other games were a 13-10 win over former Southland Football League rival Sam Houston State on October 11, 1997 and a 19-16 home loss to Utah State on November 16, 2002.
Jernigan ended his career as one of the most prolific players in Troy University history as he rewrote the record book. Jernigan made his mark in career receptions, receiving yards, yards per game, all-purpose yards and total offense. Jernigan also rewrote the Sun Belt Conference record book over his four years of competition. The senior was selected to participate in the Senior Bowl and Combine, before being drafted in the third round by the New York Giants in the 2011 NFL Draft.
PRO BOWL
“THE KICK”
STATISTICAL CHAMPIONS
“The Kick,” as it is called, is used to describe Ted Clem’s 50-yard field goal as time expired that gave Troy an 18-17 win over North Dakota in the 1984 Division II national title game. The kick was Clem’s third field goal of the game and finished off one of the greatest comebacks in school history after the Trojans fell behind 14-0 in the first quarter.
“THE KICK” - PART TWO
Drew Boteler’s 22-yard field goal attempt slipped through the uprights, capping a 14-point comeback, as Troy rallied to knock off North Texas, 18-16, in the school’s first home game against a Division I-A school on Dec. 1, 2001. Boteler’s game-winner was not a pictureperfect kick. The field was soaked from rain that had fallen throughout the day, and the redshirt freshman slipped while planting to make the kick. On top of that, the kick was tipped at the line of scrimmage, leading one North Texas lineman to celebrate as the officials signaled the kick was good.
LEODIS MCKELVIN
Leodis McKelvin became the second Trojan to be selected in the first round of the NFL Draft when he was selected as the 11th overall pick by the Buffalo Bills. He is also the first Trojan to be named an All-American in football since the Trojans joined the ranks of NCAA Division I.
VIRGIL MCKINLEY
Virgil McKinley, a professor at the Troy Normal School, was charged with the task of fielding the first school football team. McKinley, who attended the University of Alabama but never received a football letter, had 14 players try out for the team but kept just 11. He guided the squad to a 1-0-2 record that first season against a variety of community, high school and other university teams.
MIRACLE IN MURFREESBORO
Senior receiver Smokey Hampton turned in the performance of a lifetime with catch-aftercatch, leading the Trojans to a victory at Middle Tennessee after trailing 20-7 with just 2:19 remaining in the contest. The senior combined with Gary Banks to catch touchdown passes in a 21-20 Troy victory.
BROCK NUTTER
A four-year starter for the Trojans, Brock Nutter never missed a start, starting all 44 regular-season games and four I-AA playoff games, setting a new school record. He was selected as team captain his last three seasons and held a 35-13 record as a starter. Nutter rewrote the passing record book, completing 581 passes, surpassing Sim Byrd’s record of 575. He also attempted 1037 passes, shattering the former record held by Byrd of 924. Nutter threw for a school-record 7,791 yards and also broke the school record for total offense, with 7,494 yards.
The 2007 NFL Pro Bowl featured two former Troy Trojans in the starting lineup for the National Football Conference (NFC) in Osi Umeniyora and Demarcus Ware. It marked the first time that two Trojans were starting in the prestigious postseason game for the National Football League.
Since Troy joined the NCAA in the 1970s, the Trojans have had two statistical champions in an individual category. Quarterback Willie Tullis led the nation in passing efficiency during the 1980 season among Division II teams. Tullis had a passing efficiency rating of 147.5 after completing 108 of 203 passes (.532 percentage). He connected for 15 touchdowns and threw just eight interceptions. Tullis threw for 1,880 yards in 10 games that season. Andy Swafford captured the other statistical title in 1997 at the Division I-AA level, when he led the nation in kickoff returns, averaging 31.4 yards on 14 kick returns. He tallied 440 yards in returns during the 1997 campaign.
SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE
In the summer of 1995, Troy, along with Jacksonville State, McNeese State, Nicholls State, Northwestern State, Sam Houston State, Southwest Texas and Stephen F. Austin, met in New Orleans to reform the Southland Conference into a football only sub-conference, the Southland Football League. During their five seasons in the SFL, the Trojans claimed three titles, in 1996, 1999 and 2000. The Trojans posted a 26-9 record in conference play during their five seasons and saw 54 players earned all-conference honors, while two players earned Defensive Player of the Year (Pratt Lyons, 1996; Anthony Rabb, 1999) honors and another Newcomer of the Year (Demontray Carter, 2000). Head coach Larry Blakeney twice earned Coach of the Year honors (1999 and 2000).
SUPER BOWL
Three former Troy University Trojans have played in the Super Bowl in the modern era, with all three claiming Super Bowl rings in the process. Former offensive lineman Kerry Jenkins won the Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Bucs, while most recently former defensive end Osi Umenyiora and place kicker Lawrence Tynes won with the New York Giants - defeating previously unbeaten New England in the process.
SUN BELT CONFERENCE
On May 23, 2003, Troy University accepted an invitation to join the Sun Belt Conference in all sports, marking the first time all of Troy’s sports will be in the same league since the school moved to Division I in 1993. The Troy football program began play in its first Division I-A conference home in the fall of 2004, while all other sports began competition in the league beginning in the fall of 2005.
THE NIGHT THE LIGHTS WENT OUT IN TROY
On Sept. 3, 1988, Troy opened its defense of the 1987 Division II national championship at home against Southeast Missouri. Clinging to a 13-6 lead midway through the third quarter of a tight game, a transformer that controlled power to the lights at then Memorial Stadium malfunctioned, cutting the stadium lights. During the ensuing two-and-a-half hour delay, the teams discussed their options. After deciding against moving the game to Montgomery’s Cramton Bowl, the teams elected to finish the game on Troy’s lower practice field, which was lighted. With the entire grassy bank next to the practice field almost full, the Trojans finished off

TRACKING THE TROY FOOTBALL FIELD
The Troy football team’s home field has changed locations numerous times through the years. The inaugural team played off campus in a field on Orion Street. In 1910, The Association built an athletic field on the north side of the old college campus. The field was built by V.P. McKinley, the players and a handful of students. It had a grandstand, bleachers and a six-foot fence that surrounded the field. In 1925, the team began playing games on campus, on the site of what is now Shackleford Hall. Over the next 25 years, the Troy football team played its home games on the grounds where Smith Hall now stands and in a field that is now the outfield of Riddle-Pace Field. In 1950, Memorial Stadium opened for the first time. It began with a seating capacity of 5,000 but has grown to more than 30,000 today and is known as Veterans Memorial Stadium.
T-ROY
T-Roy, the Troy mascot and a fan favorite, has been a familiar sight at Troy athletic events since making his first appearance in the mid 1980s. T-Roy became the official school mascot after a campus-wide decision on the name for a new mascot. There was an election by the student body with “T-Roy” coming out on top. In the spring of 2008, T-Roy was voted the third best mascot in the nation.
TROJANS - THE NICKNAME
The Troy athletic teams have had a variety of names through the years - from Bulldogs to Teachers to Red Wave. As the football team began competition in the 1910s, the team was called Bulldogs or Teachers (since the school began as a teacher’s college). In 1922, the group was called Trojans for the first time. That lasted until Albert Elmore’s arrival on campus in 1931. A graduate of the University of Alabama, Elmore changed the nickname to Red Wave, a variation of Crimson Tide. The Red Wave moniker stuck until 1973, when the student body was again charged with voting for its new team nickname. The first game of the season in 1973 was on the road against Northeast Louisiana (now Louisiana-Monroe). The squad departed Troy without a nickname, but students voted on the nickname that Saturday morning. The winner? Trojans. The current nickname won the election by a twoto-one margin, with the ballots being tallied hours before kickoff. With the new nickname, the Trojans battled Northeast Louisiana to a 15-15 tie.
TROJANS IN THE POLLS
During their eight years at the I-AA level, the Trojans were a mainstay in the I-AA polls. Troy finished ranked in the Top 25 every year but one (1997). Troy finished at the top of the polls in 1993, and was ranked number one for three straight weeks in 2000. Overall, the Trojans finished in the top five, four times and the top ten, five times.
TROY UNIVERSITY
Troy hasn’t always been University. When the school was founded in 1887, the school was called the State Normal School - Troy. In 1929 the school changed its name to the Troy State Teachers College. That would last until 1957, when the school was renamed Troy College. The school was then named Troy State University in 1967 . In 2004, the Board of Trustees voted to remove the “State” from the name, making it Troy University. Trustees felt the name change allows the university system to reflect its quality, funding sources and global mission better.
VOICES OF THE TROJANS
For over 25 years, Troy has had four play-by-play announcers, including current announcer Barry McKnight. For the majority of those years, Ralph Black was the “Voice of the Trojans.” Black called more than 200 of Troy’s football games, including both Division II national championships. Black served as the play-by-play announcer for all Troy sports, having broadcast two Division II national championships in baseball and the Division II championship game in basketball (1992).
