l Troy enters the 2010 season as the four-time defending Sun Belt Conference champions. l Trojans coach Larry Blakeney will be on the Troy sideline for his 20th season. Only Joe Paterno and Frank Beamer have been in their current positions longer than Blakeney in the Football Bowl Subdivision. l Blakeney will be breaking in a new offensive coordinator for the third time in the last five years. Kenny Edenfield takes over OC duties and will continue to coach inside recivers. l Two coaches off last season’s staff left Troy for Texas Tech during the offseason. OC Neal Brown and running backs coach Chad Scott took jobs in the same roles for Tommy Tuberville at Tech. l Coach Larry Blakeney filled the two vacancies on his staff with Chip Lindsey and Jeff Beckles. Lindsey was a successful high school head coach and offensive coordinator who is well versed in the Trojans offense, and will coach the quarterbacks. Beckles was on the opposite sideline from the Trojans in the GMAC Bowl in January, but is a native of Florida and is an experienced recruiter in Florida and Georgia. He will coach running backs. l In 2009, Troy became the first team to go 8-0 in Sun Belt play and the Trojans had their first nine-win season as a member of the Football Bowl Subdivision. l Troy scored at least 40 points in six consecutive Sun Belt games to finish the season and averaged 41.3 points in eight league games last year. l During spring practice all eyes were on the battle to replace record-setting quarterback Levi Brown. The four contenders for the position are juniors Jamie Hampton and Greg Jenkins as well as redshirt freshman Corey Robinson. l While the attention was on the QB battle on offense, the Trojans also have two holes to fill on the offensive line after the loss of a pair of All-Conference players - C Danny Franks and G Steven Adams. l On defense the Trojans lost eight starters from last year, another will miss spring ball after shoulder surgery and another is switching positions. Only CB Bryan Willis went through spring drills as a starter at the position he played in 2009. l Troy wound up losing all four starters on the front line when junior NT Eugene Kinlaw decided to skip his senior year and turn pro. l In addition to the front four, the Trojans must replace one of the most dynamic linebacking tandems in school history. Juniors Xavier Lamb and Donnell Golden will step into the void left by Boris Lee and Bear Woods.

MEDIA INFORMATION 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. Construction began on the project in July 2002 and was completed in time for the Trojans’ 2003 home opener against Southeast Louisiana on September 20. The stadium has seen tremendous growth and change during its 54-year existence. It was built for a mere $65,000 as Memorial Stadium in 1950 and seated just 5,000 spectators. Several renovations followed, including in 1998, when the facility moved from a 12,000-seat capacity to 17,500. Construction began in July 2002 to expand the capacity to 30,000, with the largest part of the project being a new sixstory press box structure that houses 27 sky boxes, a stateof-the-art media hosting facility, a unique Trojan Stadium Club area that houses more than 1,000 guests and floors dedicated to sports medicine, academics, as well as strength

VETERANS MEMORIAL STADIUM: A SITE OF MEMORABLE VICTORIES

Over the years, Veterans Memorial Stadium has been home to some of Troy’s greatest victories. Most notably, wins over Marshall (2003), Missouri (2004) and Oklahoma State (2007). Troy’s victory over Marshall in 2003 got the ball rolling as the Trojans rolled up 254 yards on the ground en route to a 33-24 victory over the nationally recognized mid-major program.

The win over the 17th-ranked Tigers sent shockwaves through the football world and the Big 12 conference in particular where one member school that was scheduled to visit Troy during the 2005 season paid its way out of its contract the following week. It would be three more seasons before another prominent opponent would venture inside the confines of Veterans Memorial Stadium. In 2007, Oklahoma State brought its highpowered offense to Troy for a Friday night, nationally televised ESPN broadcast. 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 highpowered 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 highprofile opponents when Navy and Mississippi State visit Veterans Memorial Stadium during the 2012 season.

The next season featured Troy’s biggest division I victory to that point, all in the national spotlight. In a Thursday night, primetime broadcast on ESPN, the Trojans dominated Missouri and Heisman Trophy hopeful Brad Smith for three quarters after surrendering 14 early points in the first quarter.

Considered to the be the top venue in the Sun Belt Conference, Troy holds a 20-3 record in home conference games since joining the league for the 2004 season. The Trojans are 39-5 at Veterans Memorial Stadium since joining Division I-A (FBS) and are 8511-1 at home under head coach LarTroy rattled off 24 unanswered ry Blakeney. points, capped by a 33-yard scoring strike from quarterback Aaron Leak The facility also hosted the final preto wide receiver Jason Samples in sentation of the Blue-Gray All-Star the back of the end zone for the final Classic in 2003.

The Trojans played all but three of their conference games on television, allowing the conference to accomodate television packages for the other teams in the league. The Trojans game against Middle Tennessee State University has been moved to October 5 to accomodate television (ESPN).

ABOUT THE SUN BELT CONFERENCE

The Sun Belt Conference enters its 35th season in 2010-2011 with several constants evident during the over three decade span of the league. Success, progress, and academic excellence have always been at the core of the league and in the second decade of the 21st century those constants could not be more clear. 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. With the onset of the 21st century the Sun Belt Conference began sponsoring football at the Division I-A level (now known as the Football Bowl Subdivision) in 2001 and generated an automatic bowl tie-in 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 suc-

cess – 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 will result in unprecedented national coverage for the league. Additionally, ESPN televised the conference’s men’s basketball championship game for the 30th straight season in 2010, 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 JumpTV Sports, Inc. 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. Over the last four seasons the Sun Belt Conference has represented itself

1 0 TROY UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL well in the football postseason. In fact the Sun Belt Conference boasts a winning record of 4-3 in its seven bowl appearances in the last four seasons. With Middle Tennessee’s victory in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, the Sun Belt Conference has now won four bowl games in its last seven appearances. Since 2005 football season, the first year after conference realignment, the Sun Belt Conference ranks 6th out of 11 conferences in composite bowl game winning percentage. The Sun Belt Conference set an all-time league high for players selected in the NFL Draft in 2010 with seven total players selected - topping the previous record of five in 2007. 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 this past offseason with the GMAC Bowl, played annually in Mobile, Alabama, that will ensure a Sun Belt team plays in that bowl game through 2013. The league also has secondary tie-ins with the Little Caesar’s Pizza Bowl, the St. Petersburg Bowl and the PapaJohns.com Bowl. 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 22 consecutive seasons. Since 2000 the Sun Belt Conference has sent three teams to the NCAA Tournament in a season six times – that is six times in the last decade that the Sun Belt has been worthy of having three teams in the NCAA Tournament.

over 3.0 for the previous school year and were named to either the Sun Belt Academic Honor Roll or Sun Belt Commissioner’s List. Sun Belt schools combined to have 756 student-athletes land on the Commissioner’s List, which honors all student-athletes recording a 3.5 GPA or better during the 2008-09 academic year. The league also had a total of 944 student-athletes named to the Academic Honor Roll, which is awarded to those maintaining a 3.0-3.49 GPA. The total of 1,700 student-athletes that were honored tops the previous highs of 1,503 set during the 2007-08 school year and 1,429 for the 2006-07 school year. 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), Florida Marlins All-Star baseball player Luis Gonzalez (South Alabama), Boston Red Sox baseball player Mike Lowell (MLB All-Star and 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 34 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 (LouisianaLafayette), 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.

In women’s basketball, Sun Belt Conference ranked in the top half of the final league RPI rankings for the 2009-10 season – making it the 12th consecutive season that the Sun Belt Conference has placed in the top half of league RPI. Most impressively In six of those 12 seasons, Sun Belt Conference women’s basketball has placed in the national top 10 for RPI. The Sun Belt Conference has also sent multiple teams to the Women’s NCAA Basketball Championship in two of the last four season. This past season UALR and Middle Tennessee both represented the league in the NCAA postseason. Men’s basketball has seen noted highlights as well in recent years, with none greater than Ty Rodger’s magical last second three-point shot as WKU defeated No. 5 seed Drake in the first round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship in 2008. The Hilltoppers would go on to reach the Sweet 16 that season and followed up with a trip to the second round the following year. South Alabama also reached the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship in 2008 as the Jaguars qualified for an at-large bid. 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 annuals WCWS in 2008. The Denver women’s golf team has been among the nation’s best for a number of years as well. The Pioneers held a national ranking throughout the entire 2009 season and capped the year with its first-ever regional championship, winning the NCAA East Regional at the Mark Bostick Golf Course in Gainesville, Fla. Denver came away with a top-five finish in the national competition, taking fifth place at the 2009 NCAA National Championship. 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 student body. For the third consecutive year Sun Belt Conference student-athletes topped the previous year’s record number of Commissioner’s List and Academic Honor Roll awards winners. 1,700 Sun Belt student-athletes earned a GPA

PROSPECTS

OFFICE OF COMPLIANCE

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. NCAA Bylaw 13.02.12.1 mandates that when you become a booster, you retain that identity for the rest of your life. As a representative of TROY’s athletics interests, you are bound by NCAA rules. TROY is responsible for your actions.

INSTITUTIONAL CONTROL

“Institutional control” of Athletics is a fundamental requirement of NCAA rules. The NCAA constitution provides that each institution shall be responsible for ensuring that student-athletes, members of the institution’s staff and other individuals or groups that represent the institution’s athletics interest comply with all applicable NCAA regulations. Because of the complexity of NCAA rules, this document does not include all applicable situations and should not be relied upon exclusively.

dR. JACK HAWKINS, JR. University Chancellor 21st year University of Montevallo, ‘70

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 teach-

ing 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. Hawkins’ professional background includes his service as an assistant dean at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (19711979) and as president of the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind in Talladega (1979-1989). In 1985, he was honored by the University of Montevallo as Distinguished Alumnus of the Year, and was the recipient of the 2003 All-American Football Foundation’s “Top College President” Award. In 2005 he was inducted into the Hall of Fame of Murphy High School in Mobile, Alabama. In 2007 he was recognized as the “Alabama Citizen of the Year” by the Alabama Broadcasters Association. Three buildings have been named in his honor: the “Jack and Janice Hawkins Chapel” at the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind, the “Hawkins-Adams-Long Hall of Honor” and “Jack Hawkins, Jr. Hall” which serves the College of Education of Troy University. Hawkins was profiled as part of two books published in 2004: “Above and Beyond: Former Marines Conquer the Civilian World” by Rudy Socha and Carolyn Darrow and “The Entrepreneurial College President” by James L. Fisher and James V. Koch. Hawkins

steve dennis Director of Athletics 6th year University of Georgia, ‘82

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 studentathletes. 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 studentathletes 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 200809 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. 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. 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

16

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.

2010 SEASON PREVIEW

Trojans Have Many Holes To Fill In the spring of 1996, Trojans football coach Larry Blakeney was worried. Worried sick. The 1995 Trojans had gone through an undefeated regular season, but had lost 25 seniors who were all major contributors to the success of that team. Entering the spring, Blakeney and the coaching staff was not sure what might lie ahead. “That may have been the best football team we’ve had, and we were worried sick going into the spring,” Blakeney said as he opens his 20th spring practice as the Trojans head coach. “Guys like Stan Davis came in and a bunch of other players grew up and overachieved, and that is what we need this year. I think we lost 25 seniors off the 1995 team and came back in 1996 and beat everyone we could beat before losing to Montana in the semifinals.” The 2010 Trojans won’t have to replace 25 seniors, but there are major holes to fill for the four-time defending Sun Belt Conference champions. On offense, there aren’t as many holes, but there are big ones. Two veteran offensive linemen, including a three-year starter at center, must be replaced. Then there is the matter of replacing the first 4,000-yard passer in school history at quarterback. On defense, the holes are numerous and include all four starters on the defensive line, two all-time greats at linebacker and two safeties. While the feeling around the Troy coaches offices isn’t quite the same as the spring of 1996, there is an understanding that the spring of 2010 will be very important. “We may have more holes than we have ever had,” Blakeney said. “I know all of those other teams in the league are licking their chops looking at all we lost.” The Trojans will also have a new offensive coordinator for the third time since the run of four straight league titles started. Neal Brown left for Texas Tech and took running backs coach Chad Scott with him. In their place, veteran assistant Kenny Edenfield will take over the coordinator duties, but will maintain his position as inside receivers coach. Chip Lindsey joins the staff to coach the quarterbacks and Jeff Beckles, who was on the opposite side of the field for the GMAC Bowl in January, takes over the running backs. “I like this staff,” Blakeney said. “I think Chip Lindsey is the right guy to coach the quarterbacks because he is totally a system guy and he speaks the language. We have Shayne Wasden and John Schlarman returning, and have added Jeff Beckles, who is a solid guy. He has already put in some things that will help us academically. I think he was the right ingredient we needed to complete the staff.” Wasden, who serves as Assistant Head Coach and Special Teams Coordinator, will continue to coach the outside receivers on offense. Schlarman, who coaches the offensive line, has added the title of Running Game Coordinator, and will work the Beckles and the backs on pass protection and the ground game. Even with the changes on the offensive staff, Blakeney does not

expect much change in the offense. “We tried to hire not to have any changes,” Blakeney said. “Everyone’s personality is different. Neal Brown won’t be calling this offense, so Kenny Edenfield’s personality will come through. Neal was very open to suggestions and I think Kenny will be the same way. “The personality will be different, the chemistry will be different and the players will be different.” Any changes in the offense will come more from the change at quarterback than from any changes on the coaching staff. Levi Brown became the most prolific single-season passer in Sun Belt history last year, but the three men who will attempt to replace him each bring a different set of skills. The group of candidates at quarterback includes junior Jamie Hampton, who opened the 2008 season as the starter before a knee injury ended his season. He redshirted last year and and has more experience in the offense than the other two players combined. The two new players in the mix for the position are redshirt freshman Corey Robinson, who is two years removed from a recordsetting career as a prep passer in Paducah, Kentucky. He sat out 2008 as a greyshirt and then redshirted last year. Mid-term junior college quarterback Greg Jenkins completes the quartet of candidates. He comes from Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College and is cut from the same mold as former Trojan Omar Haugabook. “Quarterback is a big job we have after losing Levi,” Blakeney said. “We have some good candidates to fill that job. We are going to open up the competition and give them all a chance. Normally, what will happen is you will rock along for a few days and then, once you get the gear on, they will start to separate a little bit.

“We know that Jamie is coming off knee surgery, but he has had more than a year to heal and he has had a lot of practice. He has gotten a lot bigger and a lot stronger and, if he can put the knee behind him, which I think he will, then he will be fine. He is a great kid, as are all of these guys. They are all workers. Greg, Jamie and Corey are all ballers. They all want to play. I think we have a bright future there if we can keep all of them well and get all of them enough reps.” On the offensive line, three starters return, including both tackles. James Brown came on quickly as a sophomore at left tackle and had a great season in 2009 while Kyle Wilborn was solid as a redshirt freshman on the right side. Senior Tyler Clark, who has been a three-year starter since walking on, will make the move from guard to center this spring and will be the key to the revamped line. “We want to have Tyler at center because we think he has a chance to be really good there,” Blakeney said. “If it hampers him, and if we can find someone else, then we will move him back. He is such a good player, he can do a lot of things. I think being at center will be good for him.” One of the open jobs at guard will be in the hands of senior Tyler Graves, but he will get pressure from a host of young players during the fall. “Our deal has always been to try to get the five best on the field,” Blakeney said. “We want to find the five best in the spring and get them in the best positions, and then find the three to five best backups. We have some young guys that will have a chance. I know we are starting to look like an offensive line.” At the skill positions the Trojans are much more settled. Both top running backs return in senior DuJuan Harris and sophomore Shawn Southward, who is coming off a Sun Belt Freshman of the Year award last fall. That tandem will be bolstered by the return of Chris Anderson from a year at junior college and sophomore T.J. Mitchell. Sophomore D.J. Taylor also gives the Trojans a true full-

back who can also provide the team with much bigger one back when the situation calls for that. At receiver, no fewer than six players with considerable game experience return along with junior college signee Brett Moncrief and several redshirts who will be looking to make an impression on the coaches. The key guy among the receivers will be senior Jerrel Jernigan, who has a chance to finish his Troy career as the top receiver in school history. “We have a good contingent of skill players,” Blakeney said. “Of course, Jerrel is a guy we are going to try to find ways to get the ball too. He’ll line up inside, outside, at quarterback. Jason Bruce is another guy who can lineup inside or outside that we will try to get the ball too. We are looking at the Y or Z position for Brett Moncrief. We have some guys with big presence and size that can go up and get jump balls.” Those other receivers include seniors TeBiarus Gill and Austin Silvoy, junior Chip Reeves, sophomore Josh Jarboe and redshirt freshmen Felton Payton and Anthony Williams. The other opening on the offensive side of the ball is at tight end where Travis Boyd served as the starter for the last two seasons. With heir-apparent Matt Stidham having missed the spring following shoulder surgery, talented senior Donnie Crosby and big redshirt freshman Gavin Ellis had a solid opportunity to display their skills prior to fall camp. On the defensive side of the ball, the holes are numerous and

2010 SEASON PREVIEW

Along with Addison, a senior, the Trojans will look for sophomore Jonathan Massaquoi, who redshirted last year, to step in at defensive end to fill the void left by the graduation of Lang and Sheffield. Depth behind those two is limited, meaning their health will be a key in the fall. Inside on the line there are a lot of young, talented players, but only few with playing time. Junior Sidell Corley, who arrived at Troy late during camp last year from LSU, will be counted on to be a key cog inside. Seniors Emmanuel Dudley and Riley Flowers both missed time due to injury last year and will be joined by sophomore Tony Davis and redshirt freshmen Aaron Williams and Shermaine TeArt. “Aaron Williams is a key guy who has to come on,” Blakeney said. “James Searcy looks like a football player and he needs to be a football player. Jonathan Massaquoi needs to step up and be a man because he has ability. Sidell Corley needs to be a horse for us and the two inside guys, Dudley and Flowers, need to be ready.” At linebacker, juniors Xavier Lamb and Donnell Golden have served as understudies to Lee and Woods for the last two seasons. Both have shown that they can play, but they now must show that they can be leaders as well as players. They will be joined in the linebacker mix this spring by sophomores Jacoby Thomas and Kanorris Davis, along with redshirt freshman Johnny Thompson. Sophomore Brannon Bryan, who redshirted last year, will also be in the mix for playing time. gaping. Gone are all four starters on the defensive front, all of whom may end up playing in the NFL next year. Ends Brandon Lang and Cameron Sheffield are both sure draft picks while tackles Kevin Dixon and Eugene Kinlaw, who decided to leave school early to pursue a professional career, will both be in NFL camps in July. Also gone is the heart and soul of the Troy defense for the last two years, linebackers Boris Lee and Bear Woods. Both will also be in NFL camps and leave an emotional and leadership void on the defense in addition to the loss of their considerable combined skills. Throw in the loss of veteran safeties Courtland Fuller and Chris Bowens, plus veteran linebacker David McDowell, and it is obvious that the Troy coaches have a huge rebuilding job on their hands. “We have a lot of work to do,” Blakeney said. “We have some guys who I think are ready to play, but it is going to be an important set of practices for our defense. “We are going to look to guys like Mario Addison at defensive end because he has leadership qualities as well as ability. Xavier Lamb has always been a player. He played behind one of the best in the league (Lee) and I am looking forward to seeing him and Donnell Golden.” In addition to all of the losses, two returning seniors will also missed the spring following off-season shoulder surgery. Linebacker/nickel back Daniel Sheffield started 12 games last year and is a known commodity, but safety Bryant McKissic has been plagued by shoulder woes his entire career and could have used the spring to establish himself.

In the secondary, Freshman All-American Bryan Willis returns at one corner, and seniors Willard Ross and Barry Valcin, who both saw considerable playing time in 2009, return to the safety spots. Valcin started most of the 2009 season at corner, but was recruited to play safety. The other corner spot is open to competition, with mid-term junior college transfer Jimmie Anderson getting first shot. He will likely be pushed by junior Chris Blanton and sophomore KeJuan Phillips, who both redshirted last year. Freshman Caleb Massey will vie along with senior Sam Sellers for playing time behind Ross and Valcin at safety. “We have high hopes for Barry Valcin and Willard Ross at safety,” Blakeney said. “We get KeJuan back and that is good. Jimmie Anderson, who is coming in from junior college, is one we hope will step right in.” Special teams must replace one of its two long snappers with just Wes Henry returning, but both kickers – junior punter Will Goggans and junior placekicker Michael Taylor – also are back in the fold in 2010. Holder Austin Silvoy is also returning this year. In the return game, Jernigan, Southward and Harris are all back with experience on kickoffs and Gill returns as the punt returner, although Jernigan will get work there this season. This season will be one to remember for the Trojans as they look to reload after winning their fourth consecutive Sun Belt Conference Championship last season. Although they will be young in some places, they are well-versed in experience at other positions that could prove to be beneficial as the season goes on. The Trojans open the year at home against Bowling Green on September 4.

For the past two decades there have been very few constants in college athletics. Schools have changed conferences, often more than once. Coaches have pledged loyalty to a school, only to bolt for another job the next day. Student-athletes have gotten bigger, and stronger, and the academic requirements they must meet in order to compete have become increasingly more stringent. Among the few constants on the landscape of college football is Trojans head coach Larry Blakeney. Entering his 20th season in 2010, 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, has been named Coach of the Year on numerous occasions and he gives generously of his time to almost any group or organization who asks for it. But his impact on Troy athletics goes beyond wins and losses. Yes, the Trojans have captured seven 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 19 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 19 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 19 years, he has led the Trojans to a 153-77-1 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

has 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 Subdivision (FBS). Blakeney has guided the Trojans to 14 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 153 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 four conference crowns and appeared in four bowl games. Blakeney enters his 20th season at Troy University seeking a fifth consecutive Sun Belt Conference title. Only six 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), Alabama in the SEC (5, 1971-75), 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). 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 FAU, Paul “Bear” Bryant at Alabama, Woody Hayes at OSU, Pete Carroll at USC and Lavelle Edwards at BYU. A fifth straight Sun Belt title in 2010 would give Blakeney his rightful place among the all-time greats of the game. 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. The roll did not stop in 2008, as the Trojans won their third straight Sun Belt Conference crown, earning their second appearance in the R+L Carriers New Orleans

Bowl in 2008. The season included nationally-televised victories over Middle Tennessee and Florida Atlantic as the Trojans recorded eight victories for the third consecutive season in the FBS. In 2009 Blakeney guided the Trojans to the first perfect 8-0 record in Sun Belt Conference history in earning a fourth straight league crown. He was awarded the Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year Award for the second straight year due to his team’s first outright Sun Belt Conference championship. The program made its first splash in the Sun Belt Conference in 2004 by producing a 7-5 record that included the schools’ first-ever bowl bid, a trip to California for the Silicon Valley Classic. The grand unveiling of a renovated Veterans Memorial Stadium was highlighted by a 24-14 upset of nationally-ranked Missouri that was televised live by ESPN. 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 season in school history while playing a complete schedule. Troy finished the regular season as the 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.

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 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 playcaller. 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. Julie, a Troy marketing graduate, works for an insurance agency in Birmingham and recently married Adam Ivory of Tallahassee, Fla. Tiffany, who graduated with an International Business degree from Troy University, lives with her husband Jason Rash in Atlanta.

Beckles will work with Troy’s talented pair of runners Dujuan Harris and Shawn Southward in 2010. While under Beckles’ tutelage in 2009, CMU running backs combined for three 100-yard rushing efforts. The six running backs the Chippewas used during the season combined for 1,299 yards and 10 rushing touchdowns. CMU used a combination of five different running backs in 2008, with the group combining to rush for 1,043 yards and 12 touchdowns. Ontario Sneed led the group with 548 yards and a team-high eight rushing touchdowns. Sneed finished his career eighth in school history in career rushing yards. Beckles also worked directly with Bryan Schroeder who, in his first career start as a true freshman, ran for 106 yards and two touchdowns in a 38-28 win over Western Michigan. In 2007, five CMU running backs combined to rush for 1,392 yards and 16 touchdowns.

He coached the Eagles’ receivers and served as recruiting coordinator for the 2006 season. Beckles sandwiched a pair of stints at Georgia around his previous time at CMU. In 2002, he was part of a coaching staff that led the Bulldogs to a 13-1 record and 26-13 win over Florida State in the Sugar Bowl. The 2004 Georgia squad finished 10-2 and defeated Wisconsin in the Outback Bowl, while the 2005 team was 10-3 and played in the Sugar Bowl against West Virginia. Beckles was a graduate assistant working with the wide receivers during each of those seasons. He was a part of two SEC Championship teams (2002 & 2005) while on the staff at Georgia. Beckles began his coaching career by working at four high schools in Florida and Georgia from 1994-98. He broke into the college ranks in 1999, coaching running backs at Nicholls State. Beckles spent two seasons there before moving to South Florida, where he worked with the receivers and running backs as a graduate assistant in 2001.

Randy Butler begins his third season as an assistant coach on the Troy University football staff, bringing 30 years of collegiate coaching experience with him. In 2008 and 2009, Butler guided the development of two defensive ends who will spend the 2010 season in the NFL – Cameron Sheffield and Brandon Lang. Lang leaves Troy with the third most tackles for loss in school history with 38 and 10th most sacks with 23.5. Sheffield finished his career ranked 8th in Troy history with 28.5 TFL. Butler came to Troy from Southern Miss, where he spent 17 of his 29 seasons as a college coach in various roles. During his time at Southern Miss, Butler spent seven seasons coaching tight ends and 10 years coaching defensive linemen. He also spent seven seasons as the assistant head coach, and three as the recruiting coordinator for the Golden Eagles. In his final three seasons at Southern Miss, Butler coached three-time All-Conference USA selection Shawn Nelson, who had the three best years ever by a tight end in school history. He registered 35 catches for 540 yards and five touchdowns as a freshman, 36 catches for 506 yards and three touchdowns as a sophomore and 33 catches for 455 yards and five touchdowns as a junior. He was named the New Orleans Bowl Most Valuable Player in 2005, posting six catches for 121 yards and two touchdowns. Butler also coached the tight end position at Southern Miss during the 1993 and 1994 seasons. In 1994, he coached former Golden Eagle standout Terry Hardy, who was later drafted by the Arizona Cardinals in the fifth round and played several years in the National Football League. In his nine years on the defensive side of the ball, Butler was an integral part of helping continue the tradition of Southern Miss defense. Butler’s development of defensive lines during his tenure at Southern Miss helped further the long-time defensive tradition at the school. Butler spent the 2004 season retooling the defensive line after losing two standouts. The Golden Eagles finished 7-5 overall and defeated North Texas in the New Orleans Bowl. That year, the defense finished second in Conference USA in scoring defense and third in total defense. He coached another defensive line in 2003 that helped the Golden Eagles win the Conference USA championship and a third trip to the Liberty Bowl. The defense finished 14th in the nation in scoring defense, 13th in pass efficiency defense and 23rd in total defense that season in winning the conference championship. Butler graduated from Southern Miss in 1979 with his Bachelor’s Degree, and received his Master’s Degree in 1981. He was inducted into the Southern Miss Athletics Hall of Fame prior to the 1999 spring game. Butler entered the Wiregrass Athletic Hall of Fame in July 2008 Butler is married to the former Angela Smith, who is also a Southern Miss graduate. The couple has two children, Anna Leigh and Chelsea. The couple also has one granddaughter, Ellie.

Kenny Edenfield returned to his alma mater for the 2008 season and after two seasons as a receivers coach will transition to offensive coordinator in 2010 a post he held at North Alabama from 2002-07. Under Edenfield in 2009, Jerrel Jernigan became the fourth wide out in Troy history to record more than 1,000 yards in a season. The Troy offense as a whole continued to stand out as it finished first in the Sun Belt in scoring at 33.7 points per game and first in total offense, posting more than 485 yards per contest. Nationally the Troy offense finished its most productive season statistically. The unit ended the 2009 season ranked third in total offense, fourth in passing offense and 16th in scoring offense. In his first season as an assistant coach at Troy, Edenfield was part of the staff that led the Trojans to a national ranking of 26 in total offense with 421.42 yards per game. He also led the Trojans rushing attack to a 36th-place national ranking, while the passing game came in at 32. The Trojans were the 23rd highest scoring team in the country in 2008, averaging 33.25 points per game. He also coached Jernigan, the school’s all-time single-season leader in receptions with 77 set in 2008. He spent the six previous seasons as the offensive coordinator at North Alabama, where he helped direct one of the most productive offenses in NCAA Division II. The Lions broke scores of school records and ranked among the offensive leaders in both the Gulf South Conference and Division II annually. Edenfield helped lead UNA to two conference championships and four NCAA playoff berths in his six years at the school - including an overall 54-19 record. He was one of just two Lion assistants who had been on Mark Hudspeth’s staff every season since he arrived at UNA in 2002.

Alabama native Chip Lindsey joins the Troy staff for the 2010 season after a successful 12-year period in the high school ranks that included stints with two of the top programs in the southeastern United States. His main charge as quarterbacks coach will be to mentor and develop the next Troy passer that follows in the footsteps of 2010 NFL draftee Levi Brown. Lindsey comes to Troy from Lassiter High School in Marietta, Ga., where he was the head coach from 2008-09. In 2009, Lindsey led Lassiter to a perfect regular season record of 10-0 and the school’s first-ever region championship. The team advanced to the state quarterfinals for the first time in school history and finished the year at 12-1. For his efforts, Lindsey was named the Marietta Daily Journal Cobb County Coach of the Year, Cobb County Touchdown Club Coach of the Year and Atlanta Falcons Class AAAAA Coach of the Year. In his first season at the helm of the Trojans, Lindsey engineered a nine win season after taking over in February. The win total was the highest in school history and he also coached the team to its first-ever playoff victory. He earned the first of two consecutive MDJ Cobb County and Cobb County Touchdown Club Coach of the Year awards. He was also named Georgia’s 2008 Associated Press Coach of the Year. While at Lassiter High, Lindsey guided the development Parade All-American and Georgia quarterback signee Hutson Mason. Mason broke every single-season state passing record in 2009 including passing yards (4,560) and touchdowns (54). Prior to his appointment at Lassiter, Lindsey served as the offensive coordinator in 2007 at Alabama powerhouse program Hoover High School. Under his guidance on offense, the team finished the season 10-2 and advanced to the third round of the state playoffs. Lindsey’s first experience as a high school head coach came from 2005-06 as the lead man at Colbert Heights High School in Tuscumbia, Ala. There he inherited a program that had won a combined five games over its three previous seasons. All Lindsey did was match that win total with a 5-5 season in 2005, then follow that up with a 9-3 season in 2006 that included a trip to the second round of the state playoffs. Nine wins was the most in Colbert Heights’ history. The season also included the school’s first-ever playoff victory. The turnaround at Colbert Heights garnered Lindsey his first coaching award as the Florence Times-Daily made him its 2006 1A-3A Coach of the Year. Lindsey spent the 1997-2004 seasons in various assistant coach roles around the state of Alabama. Lindsey is a 1997 graduate of the University of Alabama with degrees in History and English. He lettered in football at the University of North Alabama in 1992. He also owns a master’s degree in Educational Leadership from the University of Phoenix. Originally a native of Madison, Ala., Lindsey graduated from Bob Jones High School in 1992. He is married to the former Cecily Pharr of Sheffield, Ala. The couple has four children: Claire (6), Cooper (4), Caroline (4) and Conner (3).

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT JERNIGAN

“Jerrel Jernigan hurt us last year and he’s hurting teams this year – as a wide receiver, as a running back, as a quarterback. When number three is in the game at the quarterback position, in the wildcat, surrounded by those athletes, he poses some issues. He’s not just a runner. He’s a guy that can run it, can throw it. He knows how to run the option and read off of that as well. There’s a lot of things as you can see and I’m sure a lot of people watched the Monday night game, at the NFL level, and there are some issues created by that.” - Mario Cristobal, FIU Head Coach “Jernigan was by far the Trojans’ best receiver for the second consecutive season and the best receiver in the Sun Belt Conference. Jernigan will be the fail-safe to get them into a rhythm, especially early in the season. Jernigan has the potential to notch another 1,000-yard receiving season and be the first Troy receiver selected in the 2010 NFL draft since 2001.” - Graham Watson, ESPN

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio - The Trojans jumped out to a hot start to open the 2009 campaign, but it only lasted until halftime. The Trojans took an early 14-0 lead with touchdowns from DuJuan Harris and Jerrel Jernigan, but Bowling Green scored in the second quarter to close the gap and then ran off 24 unanswered points in the second half to spoil the Trojans’ season debut.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. - The Trojans not only faced arguably the nation’s best quarterback, but the Gators proved to be pretty stiff defensively as well. Troy trailed just 7-3 at the end of a rain-soaked first quarter, but Tim Tebow and the Gators posted four second quarter touchdowns and were never slowed again. Quarterback Levi Brown was held to 66 passing yards, and Troy managed just 139 yards of total offense on the day.

TROY, Ala. - The Trojans were eager for their first win of the season and they got it at home against in-state rival UAB. Levi Brown connected on 24 passes for 413 yards and two touchdowns, as the Trojans rolled over UAB. Troy’s rushing attack fell just one yard shy of the offensive total of the previous week, and the victory sparked some confidence in Troy’s bruised ego. Brown threw an interception in the first quarter, his last for the next 27 quarters. The game also marked the return of linebacker Bear Woods.

JONESBORO, Ark. - In a game billed as a showdown between the top two teams in the Sun Belt Conference, the Trojans had to rally from behind late in the game at Arkansas State to claim victory. Levi Brown threw for 355 yards and two touchdowns, the second of which came after a late Arkansas State mistake in the kicking game. Freshman Kannoris Davis forced a fumble on a punt return and the Trojans recovered to begin the final scoring drive of the day. That play lead to a touchdown pass to Cornelius Williams to put the Trojans ahead and secure the win; opening the conference season with a victory and evening their regular season record to 2-2 overall.

TROY, Ala. - Multiple storylines surrounded the annual “Battle for the Palladium” before the game was played, but just one repetitive storyline stood when it ended. Troy knocked off Middle Tennessee 31-7 in front of a national television audience to retain the rivalry’s trophy for the fourth consecutive season. Former Trojans’ offensive coordinator Tony Franklin, now on the Blue Raiders’ staff, was never able to get his Middle Tennessee team going. The Trojans’ rushing attack shined with 264 total yards on the night. Sophomore quarterback Dantavious Parker was the star with 84 yards and two touchdowns on just six carries.

MIAMI, Fla. - The Trojans expected a battle when they traveled to Miami, and that is what they got in a game that was much closer than the final score showed. Levi Brown threw for 391 yards and three touchdowns, and DuJuan Harris led the rushing attack with 86 yards and a touchdown on the night. Troy survived the Golden Panthers’ “Blackout Game” and found themselves winners of four straight with two of the Sun Belt’s toughest road trips behind them.

TROY, Ala. - Homecoming at Troy was a history day for the Trojans. Quarterback Levi Brown set the record for the most passing yards in a game by a Trojan, breaking a 41-year-old mark set by Sim Byrd in 1968. Brown’s 469-yard day was his second straight record-setter against the Mean Green. He set a school mark with 40 completions against North Texas in 2008. The Trojans finished the day just three yards shy of 700 offensively. The win kept the Trojans in control of the conference race at the midway point of the season.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. - The Hilltoppers were winless and on the verge of losing their coach, but that didn’t stop them from giving the front-running Trojans fits. The “nothing to lose” attitude the Hilltoppers carried into the game gave the Trojans all they could handle in the first half. Troy led by just one at the break, but freshman running back Shawn Southward carried the Trojans to the tune of 140 yards and a school record four touchdowns as the Trojans pulled awat in the second half of their seventh consecutive victory, the longest streak in the FBS era.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - The nation’s two longest streaks of pass attempts without an interception squared off, and neither came away unscathed. Levi Brown threw for 321 yards against the Razorbacks in the 56-20 loss and was picked off three times. Brown held the nation’s lead in the category, and upon his first quarter interception, Arkansas quarterback Ryan Mallet took over. The Trojans defense ended his streak shortly thereafter, but Mallet launched five touchdown passes and had 405 yards through the air in the game.

TROY, Ala. - Troy had another conference title on the mind when the Owls came to Movie Gallery Veterans Memorial Stadium for what is always a heated game.

Levi Brown again set the single-game passing yardage record for the Trojans, throwing for 477 yards and three touchdowns. Troy posted 651 yards of offense on the night, and a celebration followed for the fourth consecutive conference championship as the Trojans sent the seniors out with a victory in their final home game at Movie Gallery Veterans Memorial Stadium.

LAFAYETTE, La. - The Trojans were looking for their first perfect season in Sun Belt Conference play, and they accomplished the feat at one of the league’s toughest places to play. The Trojans led the game 24-0 early, but allowed 25 unanswered points to the Ragin’ Cajuns and found themselves trailing late in the third quarter. A determined team of Trojans bounced back, however, to finish with a perfect conference record. Shawn Southward posted 152 yards rushing in the game and scored two touchdowns, and Levi Brown completed his final eight pass attempts for 174 yards to bring the Trojans from behind to capture the undisputed conference crown..

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. 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. 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 85-yard third quarter touchdown run called back after a fan on the Northern Illinois sideline blew a whistle.

trojans claim bowl victory

troy falls in overtime

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.

NEW ORLEANS, La. - Sam Glusman’s attempt at a game-tying field goal was blocked in the first overtime by Southern Miss defensive back Michael McGee giving USM the 30-27 victory in the 2008 R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl at the Superdome.

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.

Britt Barefoot tied the game with a 46-yard field goal with 2:57 remaining and Troy could not muster a score on its final drive sending the game to overtime. Southern Miss (7-6) lost the toss and went on offense first and after being stopped on third down, settled for a 39-yard field goal and gave the Trojans the ball. Troy (8-5) picked up a first down on their possession on a swing-pass to Jerrel Jernigan. Faced with a thirddown just three plays later, the conversion failed.

trojans fall in first appearance in gmac bowl 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’ gamewinning 37-yard field goal in a 44-41 victory over Troy.

commend everyone from the leadership to the volunteers who took real good care of us.”

“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.

With the loss, the Trojans finish with a 9-4 record on the year. Troy also falls to 1-3 in bowl games, with consecutive overtime losses. Central Michigan finished its season with a 12-2 record and snapped the MidAmerican Conference’s streak of 14 consecutive bowl losses. Taylor connected on a GMAC Bowl record 46-yard field goal at the end of regulation to send the game into overtime after CMU took the lead with just 1:17 to play when Dan LeFevour connected with Bryan Anderson for a 4-yard TD pass. It was the only TD pass of the game for the NCAA’s all-time touchdown leader.

“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

“I was just thankful that Levi and the offense drove down to give me the opportunity,” Taylor said of his game-tying kick.

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 All-America 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 alltime 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.

1 0 TROY UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL

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.

1 0 TROY UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL 2004 - Troy opens its first season as a member of the Sun Belt Conference with a road victory at Marshall and a nationally-televised win over nationally-ranked Missouri on ESPN2. Following the two wins, Troy dropped four of its next five games by a combined 22 points, including a four-point loss at defending national champion LSU. The Trojans went on a run from there, winning their final four games of the season to finish 7-4. The team was rewarded with the first bowl invitation in school history. On December 30, the Trojans played Northern Illinois in the fifth annual Silicon Valley Football Classic in San Jose. Senior Demarcus Ware was named the Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Year, and in April, was selected in the first round of the NFL Draft, with the 11th overall pick (Dallas Cowboys). 2005 - The Trojans’ second season in the Sun Belt did not prove to be as successful as the first. The highligh of the season was a 13-10 victory over North Texas in Denton, snapping a 22-game conference Mean Green win streak in front a national television audience. That 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. The team rebounded with four straight wins before a home loss to Arkansas State put the Trojans’ backs against the wall. That wall fell when Troy won in the “Miracle at Murfreesboro”, defeating Middle Tennessee State after scoring two touchdowns with just 2:14 to play in the game. A win over FIU the next week clinched Troy’s league title and a berth in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl where the Trojans steamed Rice 41-17 to complete an 8-5 season.

the Offensive Player of the Year honors before throwing for four touchdowns in the New Orleans Bowl and running for another one en route to winning MVP honors. 2007 - The Trojans faced two finalists for the Heisman Trophy, including facing the eventual Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow. Troy faced four SEC opponents during the season, including the defending national champion in Florida. The Trojans defeated Oklahoma State in front of a nationally-televised audience at Movie Gallery Veterans Stadium, 43-22, and never trailed in the contest. The Trojans were undefeated in conference play headed into the final game season, unfortunately losing to FAU and settling for a share of the Sun Belt Conference championship. Cornerback Leodis McKelvin tied a Sun Belt Conference record when he was drafted with the 11th overall pick in the NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills. 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.

TROY UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL TROJANS HISTORY

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.

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

BATTLE FOR THE OL’ SCHOOL BELL

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

1 0

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.

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 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.

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

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).

TED CLEM

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

Nick Colbert was named as a 2000 College Football ScholarAthlete 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 fourth-ranked 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

In 1928, the Troy football team played its first night game in Montgomery at Cramton Bowl. Troy faced off against Maxwell Field, claiming a 13-0 victory.

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.

“THE KICK”

“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 picture-perfect 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

the first time that two Trojans were starting in the prestigious postseason game for the National Football League.

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-after-catch, 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.

OVERTIME GAMES

STATISTICAL CHAMPIONS

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 Eng-

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.

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 the game with a 26-13 win.

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.

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 two-to-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.

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 RiddlePace 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 Movie Gallery Veterans 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 campuswide 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

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).

TROY UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL TROY UNIVERSITY

Troy University’s tradition of teaching excellence dates to its founding on February 26, 1887, when an act of the Alabama Legislature established Troy State Normal School as an institution to train teachers for Alabama’s schools. Joseph Macon Dill was the institution’s first president. In 1893, the school was renamed Troy State Normal College. The Normal College offered extension courses for teachers and granted teaching certificates until 1929, when the State Board of Education changed the charter of the institution and renamed it Troy State Teacher’s College. That same year, the college moved to its present site and the first two buildings were dedicated: Shackleford Hall, named for Edward Madison Shackleford, president of the school from 1899-1936, and Bib Graves Hall, named for David Bibb Graves, Alabama’s “education governor.” Governor Bibb Graves is also remembered for commissioning the Olmstead Brothers architectural firm of Brookline, Massachusetts, to design the campus landscape plan. Like many American universities, Troy

State Teacher’s College enjoyed one of its most prosperous periods of growth in the years following World War II when returning veterans took advantage of the GI Bill. The enrollment of the College more than doubled and this growth led to the introduction of degree programs in disciplines other than education, most notably business. In 1957, the State Board of Education recognized this expanded role and dropped “Teacher’s” from Troy State College’s name. The decade of the 1950s also marked the University’s long relationship with the United States Military, as extension courses were offered on nearby bases, first at Fort Rucker, near Dothan, and later at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery. A separate Troy State College teaching center was established at Fort Rucker in 1961, which evolved into the present-day Dothan campus. A similar center, begun at Maxwell Air Force Base in 1965, led to the creation of the present-day Montgomery Campus. These programs were the forerunners of the modern TROY Global Campus division of Troy University, which

operates all TROY teaching sites outside Alabama. In 1973, the University opened sites at military bases in Florida. Today, TROY Global Campus operates more than 60 sites in 17 U.S. States and 11 nations. In 1967, Gov. Lurleen B. Wallace appointed eight members to the newly established Troy State College Board of Trustees, removing the instituion from the control of the State Board of Education. One of the first acts of the new board was to recommend the change of the name to Troy State University. The new name became official on December 14, 1967. In 1975, the Phenix City Campus was opened as a branch of the main campus. In 1982, the Troy State University System was formed, as the campuses in Dothan and Montgomery were granted independent accreditation status. In April of 2004 the Board of Trustees voted to drop “State” from the University’s name to better reflect the instiution’s worldwide mission. Starting August 2005, all TROY campuses were again unifed under one accreditation.

Bibb Graves Hall was one of the first buildings built on campus. It stands in the middle of the quad, facing the main drive onto campus.

1 0 TROY UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL strength and conditioning

The strength and conditioning program at Troy University continually produces prepared and conditioned student-athletes for the highest level of collegiate competition. Strength and conditioning coach Richard Shaughnessy heads the program that works with Troy’s 17-sport athletics program. Under Shaughnessy’s direction, the program has achieved new heights. The current weight room, located on the first floor of the Movie Gallery Veterans Stadium Tower, has been a major factor in its success. The program plays a key role in the department’s efforts to build a comprehensive and competitive athletics program. It also works to provide all Trojan student-athletes with a winning edge in preparation for the playing field. The million-dollar strength and conditioning facility is 10,000-square feet and accommodates more than 420 student-athletes. It is designed with all sports in mind with more than $150,000 in equipment. It houses cardiovascular equipment, hammer systems, power racks and a variety of leg apparatuses. Cross-training equipment and a multi-station cross-over machine are among the items that have also recently been added. University courses are also taught in the facility throughout the year. The strength and conditioning staff trains and monitors each of Troy’s 17 athletics teams in order to determine progress and preparedness. All athletes are tested a minimum of three times per year, according to different categories. Each member of the football team is ranked by a point system, according to the athlete’s progress in the following 12 categories: bench press, squat, hang clean, vertical jumps, height, weight, 40-yard dash, 12-yard dash, box jumps, dots, jump ropes and 225 reps. The sqaud is broken down into seven levels from highest to the lowest; Elite, Exclusive, Ultra, Super, Champion, Player and Trojan. Ample and efficient equipment along with an experienced and determined staff allows the strength and conditioning program to constantly produce successful and prepared athletes for Troy University.

TROY UNIVERSITY

sports medicine Troy University has long been a leader in the field of athletic training. In 1990, the establishment of a four-year curriculum only strengthened the University’s commitment to this vital area of athletics. The Athletic Training staff is committed to not only providing exceptional healthcare to student-athletes, but also to providing outstanding education to athletic training students. The coursework, which is accredited by the Commission on Athletic Training Education, prepares students to become certified athletic trainers through the National Athletic Trainers Association. The Athletic Training Education Program assigns at least one certified athletic trainer to work with each varsity sport on campus. Head athletic trainer, Chuck Ash, coordinates all aspects of the athletic training program, and has been at Troy University since 1987. Ash was recently inducted into the Alabama Athletic Trainers’ Hall of Fame, which recognizes his outstanding contributions to the profession. Ash is assisted by three full-time trainers: Cherise Crisman, Diana Avery and Alyson Steed, all of whom graduated from the Athletic Training Education Program at Troy University. The program also employs six graduate assistant certified athletic trainers. In order to be successful and progressive, the Troy athletic training program aligns itself with exceptional professionals in the field. Dr. Jeffrey Dugas has been the primary orthopedic surgeon for Troy Athletics since 2000 and is a member of the Andrews Sports Medicine and Orthopedic Center at St. Vincent’s Hospital in Birmingham. Dr. Dugas is a skilled

orthopedic surgeon, maintaining a special interest in injuries of the throwing athlete, an area which he has done considerable research. Dr. Dugas was recently awarded the prestigious “Sports Medicine Person of the Year” award for 2008 from the Alabama Athletic Trainer’s Association. He has also been selected to serve on the United States Olympic Committee’s Volunteer Medical Program. Recently, he treated athletes at the Chula Vista Olympic Training Center in California. Troy has benefitted tremendously from its lasting relationship with one of the world’s leading orthopedic surgeons, Dr. James Andrews. Andrews is a former member of the Troy University Board of Trustees. Mickey Dichiara, MD, and Jon E. Adams, PA-C, serve as team clinicians for the Trojans and have been instrumental in assisting with the comprehensive healthcare of the student-athletes. The athletic training program is further complemented by the staff of Champion Sports Medicine through the operation of a free-standing physical therapy clinic in the athletic training room. Seth Tatum, DPT-ATC, Dave Bush, ATC, and staff assist in the comprehensive rehabilitation of studentathlete injuries as well as aid in the physical therapy of community patients and area high school students through their High School Outreach Program. With a committed staff of athletic trainers and physicians, a competitive accredited curriculum and a state-ofthe-art facility, Troy has an ideal and progressive athletic training program. The ultimate benficiary of that success is the Troy University student-athlete.

1 0 TROY UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL student-athlete services Troy University believes in a total commitment to improving the lives of its student-athletes. All decisions are based on the idea that our athletes, who are leaders of tomorrow, are students first. The commitment is providing the studentathlete with the assistance necessary to balance athletic and academic participation. The Troy University Athletics Department is an integral part of the University. Its mission is to assure a balance between the desire to win and the desire to facilitate positive growth of student-athletes. The athletics department will strive to graduate student-athletes who will make significant contributions to society, view their experience as rewarding and who will be proud alumni and advocates of the University.

NCAA REGULATIONS The NCAA has set straightforward and stringent guidelines as to whom may represent a member institution in athletics. The organization utilizes the Clearinghouse to determine eligibility for every potential student-athlete. The Clearinghouse determines if the prospect meets the minimum requirements set forth by the NCAA. The Clearinghouse looks beyond grade point average and SAT/ ACT scores. It also scrutinizes the high school transcript to determine if the student-athlete has met at least 14 academic core course requirements. These include four years of English, two years of Mathematics, two years of Sciences, two years of Social Studies and four additional academic courses. Student-athletes have to maintain steady progression toward graduation while remaining in good academic standing with the University. This is done by maintaining a

prescribed PA (depending upon classification) and passing at least 24 semester hours of degree work each academic year. Further, NCAA rules stipulate a student-athlete must declare a degree program of studies, and thereafter make satisfactory progress toward that specific degree. This is done to help ensure the mission of collegiate athletics, which is to graduate student-athletes, not exploit them for their athletic abilities.

STUDENT-ATHLETE SERVICES Troy University student-athletes are fortunate to have Student-Athlete Services (SAS) available to them. SAS provides all students the support necessary to make the collegiate experience the most beneficial and fruitful it can be. The athletics department coordinates an academic reinforcement program for all of its student-athletes.

SERVICES OFFERED BY SAS SAS offers student-athletes the following: two staffed computer labs with internet access, word processing programs and on-line tutorials, monitored student-athlete weekly table sessions, academic assistance is provided and arranged for tutorial sessions, academic planning and priority registration for student-athletes is provided, evaluations of student-athlete grades and degree progression is monitored and Champs/Life Skills presentations.

STUDENT-ATHLETE ACHIEVEMENTS Listed below are just a small portion of achievements by student-athletes: eleven varsity sports teams with 3.0 or higer GPA’s in Fall 2008, 38% of student-athletes earned GPA’s of 3.0 or higher in Spring 2008, nine varsity sports finished year with GPA of 3.0 or higher, continued community outreach.

TROY UNIVERSITY “With its tree lined streets, historic homes and churches, and newly renovated town square, Troy is one of the most charming cities in the south. We are home of Troy University, the second largest in the state. We are continuously growing in population and are at the forefront of economic development, yet we remain a small, traditional town with southern pride and hospitality. In Troy, residents and visitors alike are always greeted with a cheerful smile and helping hand. Our school, churches, attractions, and neighborhoods are a prefect combination for you and your family. Join us for a day ... you’ll want to stay a lifetime.” -- Troy mayor, Jimmy C. Lunsford Troy was founded in 1838 when the county seat of Pike County was moved from Monticello to a more central location in the county atop Deer Stand Hill near the little village of Centerville. Deer Stand Hill gained its name from the deer which would graze on the wild oats found in the cane brake on this hill. John Hanchey and John Coskrey gave to the county 30 acres of land that formed the top of Deer Stand Hill which was to be used for the formation of a new town and county seat. This land was laid out in lots to form a square by a surveyor named Robert Smiley, and the lots were sold in quick order. The town was named Troy in an October 9, 1838 deed recorded by Luke Simmons, Pike County’s state representative in the Alabama legislature, when he referred to the town site of Troy in the recording. He had substituted for John Curtis, county recorder, to record a purchase by Curtis of one of the lots on the square. Simmons, a native North Carolinian, would later say he named Troy in honor of Alexander Troy, once attorney general of North Carolina. He made this comment while in conversation in Montgomery with Governor Thomas Watts of Alabama and the governor’s son in law Colonel D. S. Troy. Troy was the son of Alexander Troy. This story was made popular by accounts of it in the Montgomery Advertiser. However, it seems unlikely that a single person would be allowed to make a snap decision as to what the new town’s name would be and name it after a man few people knew about. Simmons’ remark about how Troy gained its name may have been a comment made by him to curry favor with a sitting governor. But of all the legends, and there are many, about

how Troy secured its name, this one may be the most likely. Troy was incorporated as a city February 4, 1843, and it is this date that the town has chosen to observe as its birth date. Troy has produced its share of famous people. The foremost of whom are Charles Henderson, governor of Alabama during the World War One era; Douglas Edwards, CBS television news’ first anchor person; Mary Harmon Black Bryant, Coach Paul Bryant’s wife; Admiral Henry Wiley, chief operational officer and highest ranking officer in the United States Navy in the late 1930’s; Clarence “Pinetop” Smith, the inventor of boogie woogie music; Patricia “Sister” Schubert Barnes, the originator of Sister Schubert rolls; Bobby Marlow, an All-American football player at the University of Alabama; Keith Watkins, current federal judge for the Middle District of Alabama; Nall Hollis, an artist of renown; Ralph Adams, Troy University’s first chancellor, who was also a George Wallace aide and confidant, major general in the Alabama Air National Guard and member of the President Gerald Ford Clemency Commission; and Johnny Long, the developer of the Sound of the South Band. The population of Troy was estimated to exceed 14,000 by the United States Census Bureau in July 2006. The town has always had the look of a larger town than it decade census tabulation has shown. This is due to out-of-town college students not being counted in census figures.
