The staff of the Troy Athletics Media Relations office is eager to assist members of the media with all of their needs during the course of the season. Please feel free to contact our office at 334-670-3832 for information regarding credentials, team and player information, interviews, statistics, travel plans, photography, video highlights, press conferences and satellite feeds. The Troy Athletics Media Relations office has certain policies and procedures that we ask you abide by while covering the Trojans. These are for the benefit of your needs and those of Troy’s student-athletes and coaches. We ask that you please respect these requests in order to create a good working atmosphere for all parties involved. MEDIA RELATIONS OFFICE The Troy Athletics Media Relations office is located on the fifth floor of the Hawkins Stadium Tower in Veterans Memorial Stadium. Enter through the building’s front entrance and take the elevators to the fifth floor. The Media Relations staff offices are located down the hall to the right after exiting the elevators. CREDENTIAL REQUESTS The Troy Athletics Media Relations office will issue credentials to WORKING press only for games played at Veterans Memorial Stadium. Passes for spouses, children or friends will not be issued. The credentials are non-transferable. Any unauthorized use of a credential will result in the pass being revoked immediately. Press passes will be distributed to those working in the press box. A press sideline pass will be issued to working media needing sideline access. All credential requests should be made in writing by sports editors and/or directors of accredited media outlets on company letterhead. Requests should be made no later than the Wednesday preceding that week’s game to be considered. Credential requests should be e-mailed to Director of Athletic Media Relations Adam Prendergast; aprendergast@troy.edu.

WEBSITES AND NEW MEDIA Web-based media sponsoring “message boards” or “chat rooms” that allow posting of anonymous information or rumors are ineligible for credentials or access to Troy media functions. If a news-gathering medium has an online site that sponsors anonymous forums, they may continue to request credentials under their traditional medium (newspaper, magazine, radio or television), but will not be granted additional passes or access for online staff. Any online service that places emphasis on the recruitment of potential studentathletes will not qualify for credentials. Credentials will not be granted to any online agency operating sites that are in any way affiliated with gambling, or to “freelance” or “fan-based” sites that are not affiliated with a legitimate news gathering organization. Live, real-time updates of Troy home games are the property of Troy University and unauthorized transmission of such is not permitted. MEDIA WILL CALL Credentials for all Troy home games will be mailed or distributed at the weekly press conferences in most cases. Any unclaimed credentials will be available in the Troy Athletics Media Relations office until 12 p.m. on the Friday prior to the game, and at the Media Will Call table inside the entrance of Veterans Memorial Stadium on gameday.

VETERANS MEMORIAL STADIUM
Veterans Memorial Stadium
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.
A large-screen, end zone replay board was also installed, along with a state-of-the-art sound system.
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 strength and conditioning, as well as the sports medicine area, was completed and opened in Fall 2004; completing the makeover for the stadium.
The stadium has seen tremendous growth and change during its 62-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 six-story press box structure that houses 27 sky boxes, a state-of-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 and conditioning. As part of the construction, the Jesse H. Colley Track, which was housed at the stadium, was relocated - making the stadium a football-only venue. Also gone is the prescription athletic turf, replaced by “AstroPlay”, an artificial surface that closely resembles grass in feel and appearance. Troy became one of the first schools in the Deep South to install the turf. Troy upgraded the turf once again prior to the 2012 season with ProGrass, which is the same surface on Troy’s baseball field.

VETERANS MEMORIAL STADIUM VETERANS MEMORIAL STADIUM: A SITE OF MEMORABLE VICTORIES
ATTENDANCE ALL-TIME
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 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. Troy rattled off 24 unanswered points, capped by a 33-yard scoring strike from quarterback Aaron Leak to wide receiver Jason Samples in the back of the end zone for the final 24-14 score. 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 high-powered 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. This year the Trojans will have another pair of opportunities to defend their home field against high-profile opponents when Navy and Mississippi State visit Veterans Memorial Stadium during the 2012 season. There have been some memorable home victories at Veterans Memorial Stadium where champions have been crowned. The Trojans capped off an undefeated conference campaign in 2009, winning their final regular season game at home - a convincing victory over Arkansas State to capture the Sun Belt Conference championship. The Trojans also know how to celebrate homecoming at Veterans Memorial Stadium, reeling off win after win on the date in which they bring the alumni back to town. Considered to the be the top venue in the Sun Belt Conference, Troy holds a 26-6 record in home conference games since joining the league for the 2004 season. The Trojans are 46-8 at Veterans Memorial Stadium since joining Division I-A (FBS) and are 92-14-1 at home under head coach Larry Blakeney. The facility also hosted the final presentation of the Blue-Gray All-Star Classic in 2003. The field was known as Movie Gallery Veterans Stadium from 2004-2009, but reverted to Veterans Memorial Stadium in 2010. The stadium saw another name change in 2011 as it was renamed Larry Blakeney Field at Veterans Memorial Stadium after a declaration in honor of the head coach. Prior to the 2012 season, the stadium received a new playing surface.

BOOSTER INFORMATION PROSPECTS
WHO IS A PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETE (PROSPECT)? You are a prospect if you have started classes for the ninth grade. Before the ninth grade, you may become a prospect if a university provides you (or your family or friends) any financial aid or other benefit that is not usually provided to prospective student-athletes. HOW DO I KNOW IF I’M BEING RECRUITED? There are several ways to be recruited: (1) A coach may provide you with an official paid visit to view the campus, (2) a coach may arrange an in-person, off-campus meeting with you (or your family) on more than one occasion for the purpose of recruitment. Only coaches and athletic department staff can be involved in the recruiting process. Athletic representatives are prohibited from contacting a prospective student-athlete or members of his/her family by telephone, letter or in person for the purpose of encouraging participation in intercollegiate athletics at Troy University. The coach can take appropriate action. WHAT IS A CONTACT? A contact is any face-to-face encounter between a prospect or the prospect’s parent(s) or legal guardian and an institutional 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 recommend 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 organization 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.

TROY DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS
STEVE DENNIS Director of Athletics 8th year University of Georgia, ‘82 Dennis has also been responsible for visits by Oklahoma State, Mississippi State and Navy to Troy in football. 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.
Steve Dennis enters his eighth year as the Director of Athletics for Troy University in 2012 and his tenure has been marked by continued growth of all of Troy’s athletics programs in the Sun Belt Conference and Division I. Since his arrival at Troy in March of 2005 Dennis’ focus has been on the most important part of any athletics program, the student-athletes. Due to that emphasis Troy University student-athletes have led all public institutions of the Sun Belt Conference and in Alabama during his tenure. Over his seven years Troy University student-athletes have regularly posted grade point averages of 3.0 or better. That high academic standard led Troy to enjoy the highest level of success possible under the NCAA’s Academic Progress Report for the 2008-09 and the 2009-10 school years, with all 16 NCAA sports above the mandated 92.5 percent. Troy University’s student-athletes have flourished on the field of play as well as in the class room. Troy’s baseball program has had 17 players drafted or signed to professional contracts while the football program has sent 27 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 five consecutive Sun Belt Conference titles and have appeared in four 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 five of the past six seasons. His tenure as Athletics Director 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 prior to the 2012 season a brand new playing surface. The crowning achievement of the facility improvements under Dennis is the new Trojan Arena that will open for the 2012-13 basketball season. It will also be the home of the Troy volleyball team and house the new Troy University Sports Hall of Fame.

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 1,000 members in a short time and continue to grow annually. The athletics department also entered into a marketing agreement with IMG College, an agreement that was 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. Under his leadership, the Troy Athletics Department has hosted numerous state and regional athletics events, including the Sun Belt Conference Softball Championship in 2008 and the Sun Belt Conference Baseball Championship in 2009. Other events have included Special Olympics, AHSAA and AISA championships. Troy will once again serve as the host institution for the Sun Belt Conference Softball Championship in 2013. Dennis came to the Troy family from Auburn University, where he served in a variety of capacities beginning in 1985. His final assignment was as the Associate Director of Tigers Unlimited, the Athletics Department’s Development office. In that position, he was responsible for identifying, cultivating and soliciting support from individuals, private industry and corporations for the Athletics Department. A native of Macon, Ga., Dennis graduated from the University of Georgia, Cum Laude, in 1978. While at Georgia, he was the Bulldogs’ defensive captain in 1978 and was an Academic All-Southeastern Conference selection that same season. During his playing career, he played in three bowl games for the Bulldogs. His foundation as a student-athlete guides Dennis in his quest to take Troy athletics toward great things in the future. Dennis started his professional career as a high school teacher, football coach and baseball coach in Windsor (Ga.).
He started his collegiate coaching career at the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga in 1981. In four-plus seasons, he coached outside linebackers, the defensive line and special teams for the Moccasins. Dennis went to work as the defensive backs and special teams coach at Auburn in 1985, and he remained on the Tigers’ staff for eight seasons. He was named the SEC Working Coach of the Year in 1986 by The Birmingham Touchdown Club. During his initial stint with the Tigers, he coached alongside current Troy head coach Larry Blakeney. Current Troy assistant coach Shayne Wasden, as well as former assistant coaches Mike Pelton and James Joseph, all played for the Tigers while Dennis served on the coaching staff. Dennis returned to his alma mater in December of 1993, and worked as the defensive backs and special teams coach for the Bulldogs for two seasons. From 1997 until 2002, Dennis was out of college athletics. He worked in sales, marketing and promotions for Georgia Southern Wood, Inc., serving in that role from 1997 until 2000. He then worked at Cleveland Brothers Construction from 2000 until 2002. Dennis returned to Auburn to coach tight ends in 2002, before moving to fund-raising within the Auburn Athletics Department in 2003. During his college coaching career, he was part of seven bowl teams and one Division I-AA playoff team. Dennis and his wife, Lisa, have four children - Chris, Cale, Corey and Allison.

Head Coach Larry Blakeney
Larry Blakeney
Head Coach 164-91-1 (21 Years Overall / Troy) 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 22nd season in 2012, Blakeney, quite simply, has been a winner throughout his career.
AGE:.............................................................64 (Sept. 21, 1947)
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 (Football Championship Subdivision) and into Division I-A (Football Bowl Subdivision). 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.

2012 TROY TROJANS // • 22 •
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 gives generously of his time to almost any group or organization who asks for it. In the spring of 2011, Blakeney was awarded the ultimate honor - the playing surface at the University’s home stadium was to be named after the legendary head coach. The home field at Troy University will now, and forever, be known as Larry Blakeney Field at Veterans Memorial Stadium. He was enshrined into the Troy University Sports Hall of Fame in August 2012 as a member of the inaugural class. But his impact on Troy athletics goes beyond wins and losses. Yes, the Trojans have captured eight conference titles during his tenure. Yes, the Trojans have literally sent scores of players on to successful careers as professional football players. But the Troy football program has sent thousands of men on to successful lives away from football. Many of the players who have come to Troy to play for Blakeney never had a positive male role model in their lives. That changes when they become Trojans. Even with all of the obligations and responsibilities that come with the job, if you ask any player who has taken the field for the Trojans over the last 21 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 21 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 21 years, he has led the Trojans to a 164-91-1 record, posting the third-best winning percentage among all programs in the state of Alabama during that span. As the school’s longest-serving and most successful head coach of all time, Blakeney led the Troy football program to an unequaled run of success that has taken the Trojans from Division II to the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) and now to the grandest stage of all, the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). Blakeney has guided the Trojans to 15 winning seasons, including six seasons of 10 wins or more, and he currently stands fourth among all college coaches to have manned a sideline in the state of Alabama with 161 victories. Since guiding the Trojans into the Sun Belt Conference in 2004, Blakeney has enjoyed what can only be termed stunning success at the highest level of the game. In seven seasons his teams have won five conference crowns and appeared in five bowl games.
Head Coach Larry Blakeney During that time the Trojans have won 42 Sun Belt Conference games, nine more than the closest team. Troy has had 84 All-Sun Belt Selections and averaged 28.0 points per game, both are tops in the league. The Trojans joined an exclusive list in 2010 with their fifth consecutive conference crown. Only two other programs in the history of what is now the Football Bowl Subdivision have won as many as five straight league crowns – Florida State in the ACC (5, 1996-2000) and Alabama in the SEC (5, 1971-75). 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 2010 team kept the streak alive with its fifth consecutive crown after finishing the conference season with a 6-2 mark. The season included a nationally-televised victory over Middle Tennessee on the road, and a victory over Ohio in the team’s third trip to the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl on ESPN. The Trojans recorded eight or more wins for the fifth consecutive time playing in the FBS. 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, No. 15 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 the 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 Conference, 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 Conference football championship. The Trojans also advanced to the FCS quarterfinals and finished with a number six national ranking in all three polls. Senior defensive lineman Al Lucas became the first National Player of the Year in school history by winning the Buck Buchanan Award as the top FCS defensive player. Blakeney won back-to-back SFL Coach of the Year awards in 1999 and 2000, and was also honored as Regional Coach
Head Coach Larry Blakeney 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 play-caller. During that time, Auburn posted a 47-10-3 record and won three Southeastern Conference championships. They also were 3-1-1 in bowl games over that span. Auburn had a 110-50-3 record during his time with the program, including four SEC championships and nine bowl appearances (6-2-1). In 1990, he was honored by the Chilton County Auburn Club with its “Unsung Hero Award.” Before joining the coaching staff at his alma mater, Blakeney coached seven seasons in the Alabama high school ranks. He was the head coach at Southern Academy (1970-71), Walker High School (1972-74) and Vestavia Hills High School (1975-76). He compiled a 50-24-2 record during his time as a prep head coach. A 1970 graduate of Auburn University with a bachelor’s degree in business administration, Blakeney was a three-year letterman 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 Sept. 21, 1947, in Birmingham, Ala. 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, and is married to Allen Argenti. 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. The Blakeney’s have three granddaughters; Caroline Elizabeth, Madeline Ann and Danielle Avery.

Jeff Beckles begins his third season as an assistant coach at Troy University as he will be in charge of the running backs. In 2011, Beckles tutored a trio of running backs - Shawn Southward, D.J. Taylor, and Chris Anderson - who combined to rush for 1,140 yards and 11 touchdowns. Southward led the group, by leading the Trojans with 556 yards on the ground, while Taylor led the team with six rushing touchdowns, last season. Beckles was hired as Troy’s running backs coach in February 2010 after spending 2007-09 in the same capacity at Central Michigan. Beckles worked with Troy’s talented pair of runners DuJuan Harris and Shawn Southward in his first season, 2010. During his first season, the Trojans rushed for over 2,000 yards; with Harris going over the 100-yard mark at the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. 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. Justin Hoskins was an All-MAC third team selection after running for 664 yards, averaging 5.8 yards per carry and scoring 10 touchdowns. Beckles, who coached receivers at CMU during the 2003 season, returned to CMU following one season as an assistant at Georgia Southern. 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 199498. 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. The Bulls finished 8-3 in 2001, their first full season at the Division I-A level.
Beckles earned a bachelor’s degree in social science education from Florida State in 1994 and a master’s degree in sport management from Georgia in 2005. He was a wide receiver on Florida State teams that won five consecutive bowl games, the program’s first Atlantic Coast Conference championship under head coach Bobby Bowden and a national title in 1993.

Julius Brown, who has spent the last five seasons at Boise State, begins his first season coaching the cornerbacks at Troy. “We are excited to have Julius join our staff,” Blakeney said. “We made a decision to bring in a guy that has played cornerback and coached cornerbacks, and he has been around a winning program and certainly a winning staff under Coach (Chris) Petersen. Julius has worked in recruiting and player development and there are a lot of things that go into being a good on-field football coach besides just experience on the field.” Brown participated in 10 bowl games with the Broncos as either a player or a coach. Boise State was 8-2 in those 10 bowl games, including a pair of Fiesta Bowl victories over Oklahoma and TCU. The Broncos won 72 games and lost just six times during his six years on the coaching staff. Brown just completed his third season as Boise State's director of player personnel after two seasons as the offensive graduate assistant for the Broncos. He was a three-year starter and a four-year letterman at defensive back for the Broncos from 2000-03. Brown was a member of Boise State's 2002 and 2003 Western Athletic Conference Championship teams and helped the Broncos to wins in the 2002 Crucial.com Humanitarian Bowl and the 2003 Plains Capital Fort Worth Bowl. Brown was named an honorable mention All-WAC selection as a senior after leading the league in passes defended. “I am very excited to become part of the Trojan Family,” Brown said. “Coach Blakeney and his staff have had a lot of success, and I am looking forward to taking what I learned at Boise State and bringing it to the table at Troy.” Most recently Brown served as the on-campus recruiting coordinator for Boise State, organizing official and unofficial visits for recruits and their families. He also oversaw the football recruiting and scholarship budgets, assisted the director of football operations with summer camps, worked with the department's academic support team and represented the football program at campus and community events. As a graduate assistant in 2007 and 2008, Brown worked with wide receivers and also served as assistant director of football operations. Before joining the Bronco staff, Brown spent one season coaching defensive backs at Boise's Capital High School. At Capital, Brown helped the Eagles to the state playoffs. Brown, a native of Stockton, Calif., is a 2006 graduate of Boise State with a degree in business administration.

Randy Butler begins his fifth season as an assistant coach on the Troy University football staff, bringing 33 years of collegiate coaching experience with him. Butler has continued Troy’s strong tradition of producing top-tier defensive ends that are now playing in the NFL time. His latest product is former Trojan Jonathan Massaquoi, who was a fifth round draft pick by the Atlanta Falcons in the 2012 NFL Draft. During his time at Troy, Massaquoi was a two-time selection to the All-Sun Belt Team. In his two season as a starter, Massaquoi combined for 128 tackles, 31 tackles-for-loss, and 19.5 sacks. In 2008 and 2009, Butler guided the development of two defensive ends who spent the 2010 season in the NFL – Cameron Sheffield and Brandon Lang. Lang left Troy with the third-most tackles for loss in school history with 38 and tenth most sacks with 23.5. Sheffield finished his career ranked eighth in Troy history with 28.5 tackles-for-loss. In 2010, Butler instructed two of the top defensive ends in the Sun Belt Conference, as each was honored at the conclusion of the season. The duo of Massaquoi and Mario Addison combined for 123 total tackles, while recorded 24 sacks and 36 tacklesfor-loss. The duo wreaked havoc in opponents’ backfields all season, and even came up with seven quarterback hurries and four fumble recoveries throughout 2010. 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, transitioned to offensive coordinator in 2010, a post he held at the University of North Alabama from 2002-07. In 2010, Edenfield’s first as offensive coordinator, the Trojans averaged 453.5 yards per game in total offense. Not only did they put up impressive yardage numbers, but the Trojans scored an average of 34.1 points per game; scoring 30 or more points 10 times - including four game of 40+ points. Freshman Corey Robinson was named Freshman of the Year as he averaged 286.6 yards passing per game in Edenfield’s offense. In 2011, Troy continued it’s dominance through the air, as the Trojans finished second in the Sun Belt with 291.3 passing yards per game. Robinson led the league in passing, as the signal caller passed for 3,411 yards and 21 touchdowns. Wide receiver Eric Thomas burst on the scene as the Trojans go-to man, finishing third in the conference in receptions per game (5.6) and receiving yards per game (72.9). Under Edenfield in 2009, Jerrel Jernigan became the fourth receiver 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 26th in total offense with 421.4 yards per game. He also led the Trojans rushing attack to a 36th-place national ranking, while the passing game came in at 32nd. 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 themost 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. In 2007, UNA went 10-2 and reached the quarterfinals of the Division II playoffs for the fourth time in the last five years. With a number six national ranking in the final Division II poll, UNA also ranked in the final Top 10 poll for Division II for the fourth time since 2003. The Lions averaged 37.5 points and 408 yards per game that season. Both of UNA’s losses were to eventual Division II national champion Valdosta State on the road. North Alabama quarterback A.J. Milwee was a national finalist for the Harlon Hill Trophy as the Division II Player of the Year.
In 2006, North Alabama went 11-1, won the Gulf South Conference championship and advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division II playoffs behind an offense that averaged 33.5 points per game and 379.2 yards per game. Four Lions earned All-GSC honors on offense, including Harlon Hill Trophy candidate Anthony Merritt. In 2005, Edenfield directed a UNA offense that paved the way to an 11-3 record. The Lions broke 28 offensive records and advanced to the semifinals of the NCAA Division II playoffs. From that team, six Lions earned All-GSC honors on offense and three were named NCAA Division II All-Americans - including Harlon Hill Trophy finalist Merritt. UNA averaged 31.2 points per game and 411 yards per game in 2005. In 2003, Edenfield guided the Lions to a 13-1 record, a Gulf South Conference championship and a semifinal berth. Along the way, UNA broke 11 school team records and 20 individual records, while producing the Harlon Hill Trophy winner in quarterback Will Hall. Edenfield is a native of Clinton, La., where he was born Dec. 8, 1965. He and his wife Pamela have a son K.D. and daughters Caitlin, Christina and Kiley.

Jeremy Rowell begins his 15th season on the Troy University football staff, and eighth as the defensive coordinator. He was promoted to defensive coordinator in 2005 after six seasons overseeing the defensive backs. In 2010, Rowell continued the tradition that has been in place for many years as the Trojans had two players honored for their defensive work by being selected by the coaches and media for the All-Sun Belt Conference team. The 2010 defense was a young squad as they had to replace several starters from a year ago who departed for the NFL and CFL; however, the team came together and helped lead the team to the 2010 R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. They were able to hold opponents to 14 points or fewer three different times. Safety Brynden Trawick led the Sun Belt Conference in tackles in 2011 for which he was named to the All-Sun Belt Second Team. Defensive end Jonathan Massaquoi was a first team All-Sun Belt selection and was selected in the fifth round of the NFL Draft by the Atlanta Falcons. In 2008, Rowell coached Sherrod Martin, a 2009 NFL Draft selection and All-Sun Belt Conference selection Terence Moore, along with 2010 Arizona Cardinals draftee Jorrick Calvin. Three seasons ago, Rowell coached the 11th overall pick in the NFL Draft in Leodis McKelvin, along with the nation’s leader in interceptions, Elbert Mack, in the defensive backfield. The defense in 2008 ranked in the top 35 in several categories, including pass defense (23rd), total defense (30th) and scoring defense (31st). They also ranked 17th in the nation in pass efficiency defense (104.03). Under Rowell, the Trojans have flourished in the defensive backfield, becoming one of the mainstays of a stingy Troy defense. In 2004, the Trojans ranked sixth in the country in pass efficiency defense (100.56) and 16th in total defense (311.00 yards). Their 32 turnovers gained were tied for second in the country, while the turnover margin (+0.92) was tied for 10th. In 2003, despite returning just four starters, the defense ranked sixth nationally in turnovers gained (35), 26th in rushing defense (125.5 yards), 44th in pass efficiency defense (117.59) and 39th in total defense (349.67 yards).
Defensive back Derrick Ansley finished third in the nation in interceptions in 2003, behind Miami (FL) safety Sean Taylor and Nebraska’s Josh Bullocks. Ansley tallied nine interceptions, earning College Football News All-Independent honors, as well as an honorable mention selection on the ESPN.com All-Independent team. Rayshun Reed joined Ansley on both All-Independent teams, and earned an invitation to participate in the Blue-Gray All-Star Football Classic on Christmas Day. The 2002 defense ranked fourth nationally in total defense. The Trojans allowed just 276.83 yards per game to opponents in 12 games, ranking behind only Texas Christian, Kansas State and Alabama. Troy was ranked 11th in pass defense, 13th in rushing defense and 30th in scoring defense. A solid field general during his playing career, Rowell is considered one of the top quarterbacks in school history. He led Troy to a 19-3 regular season record as a starter in 1994 and 1995. With Rowell under center, the Trojans finished with the only perfect (11-0) regular season record in school history. Rowell accounted for 3,300 passing yards in his career with 22 touchdowns. He also scored 15 rushing touchdowns in a season (1994) and finished with 20 for his career. He also scored 90 points during the 1994 season. A graduate of Troy University, Rowell received his bachelor’s degree in mathematics & science in 1997 and his master’s degree in foundations of education in 1999. He is married to former Jessica Owens, and the couple has two children, Jacob Owen and Jaxon Lane.

He has served as offensive line coach since arriving at Troy. Schlarman will also serve as Troy’s run game coordinator for the third season. Schlarman has been a part of four Sun Belt Championship teams since his arrival at Troy.

In his five seasons, the Trojans have ranked in the top 30 in the nation in total offense four times, including a No. 3 national ranking in 2009. In 2010, Scharlman was named the Run Game Coordinator - a new addition to the Trojans’ staff.

James Brown was selected in 2011, Tyler Clark earned a selection in 2010, Tyler Clark and Danny Franks earned the honor in 2009, Chris Jamison in 2008 and Dion Small in both 2007 and 2008. After finishing his career at Troy and being named all-conference, Brown signed a free agent deal with the Chicago Bears. Brown is the only former Troy offensive lineman that is currently in the NFL. In 2010, Schlarman coached an all-conference selection as Clark earned his second nod in as many years earning First Team honors.
A native of Fort Thomas, Ky., Schlarman was a four-year starter on the offensive line at the University of Kentucky from 1994 until 1997. He was named to the Freshman All-SEC team in 1994 and was named the team’s most outstanding offensive lineman in 1995 and 1996.

Following his playing career at Kentucky, Schlarman coached at Bourbon County (Ky.) High School, where he coached the defensive line in 1998 and 1999, helping guide the team to the state playoffs both seasons. He returned to the University of Kentucky as an offensive graduate assistant in 2000, where he worked with the Wildcats’ offensive line for two years and spent his third year working with the tight ends and serving as the walk-on coordinator.

Shayne Wasden enters his ninth season on the Troy University football staff, and in the collegiate ranks. He has served as outside receivers coach and special teams coordinator for the past seven seasons, and was promoted to Assistant Head Coach in January 2008. He also coordinates the Trojans’ highly successful walk-on program. Receiver Eric Thomas enjoyed a breakout season in 2011 under the guidance of Wasden. The sophomore led the team in receptions and receiving yards, while finishing third in the league in receptions per game and fourth in receiving yards per game. Thomas hauled in a league-leading nine touchdown passes on the season. Troy’s special teams have produced many outstanding players during Wasden’s tenure as special teams coordinator. Troy’s all-time leading punter, Thomas Olmsted, Troy’s all-time leader in field goals, Greg Whibbs, and Troy’s all-time leader in punt returns, Leodis McKelvin, are among those who have excelled under Wasden. Wasden has also coached two Sun Belt Conference honorable mention selections in placekicker Michael Taylor and punter Will Goggans. He also coached Jerrel Jernigan, who was named first team as an all-purpose player and second team as a return specialist by the league’s head coaches and media. Jernigan was also one of only three players in the country to return both a punt and a kickoff for a touchdown during the 2011 season. Wasden has achieved many personal goals while at Troy. One of his accomplishments was having at least one special team unit rank in the top 25 nationally in seven of eight seasons. Since Wasden’s arrival at Troy, the Trojans have claimed five Sun Belt Conference titles, appeared in five bowl games and have emerged as one of the most productive and exciting offensive teams in college football. Before joining the collegiate coaching ranks, Wasden served as a head coach for 11 seasons. His career started at Georgiana High School and included stops at Opp and Eufaula High Schools. In his 11 seasons as a high school head coach, Wasden’s teams posted a record of 91 wins and 34 losses and advanced to the postseason playoffs 10 times. In his final year at Eufaula, his team finished 11-1 and was ranked number one in the state in Class 5A to end the regular season. When Wasden joined the Trojans coaching staff in 2004, he came as a familiar face to Trojans head coach Larry Blakeney who, as an assistant coach at Auburn University, coached Wasden. Wasden played wide receiver at Auburn from 1987-90, earning three letters while there and playing in three bowl games for the Tigers.
While at Auburn, Wasden earned his undergraduate degree in secondary education in 1990. He later earned his master’s in education administration from Troy University in 1998. Coaching comes naturally to the Wasden family. Shayne’s father, Bobby Wasden, coached high school football for more than 35 years. His brother Tommy, a former Trojan, also coaches at the high school level. Wasden and his wife, the former Patrice Moseley, have two daughters, Mary Beth and Anna Shay.

CLEMSON, S.C. – Troy’s season opener at Clemson was a tale of two halves as Troy held a 16-13 halftime lead but fell to the Tigers 43-19 at Memorial Stadium. After surrendering a quick touchdown strike, Troy played well in first half as they took a 16-13 lead into the locker room while holding Clemson to 121 total offensive yards and just 65 passing yards. However, Clemson’s 121 total offensive yards were quickly matched in the second half as they went on to out-gain Troy, 347-228 in the final two periods. Corey Robinson was 24-of-42 passing on the day for 258 yards with one touchdown and one interception. His top target was Justin Albert who caught a team-high six passes for 45 yards. Eric Thomas led the Trojans with 63 yards receiving. Troy rushed for 165 yards on the day with D.J. Taylor leading the way with 63 yards gained on just five carries. Shawn Southward carried the ball 13 times to pace Troy. Trawick led the Trojans with 11 total tackles on the day while John Robles recorded a team-high 2.5 tackles for a loss to go along with a forced fumble and a QB hurry. Troy sacked Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd three times on the day. The Tigers got their home crowd into the game early, scoring a touchdown with just 26 seconds coming off the clock. After returning the opening kickoff 26 yards, a 26-yard rush set up a 33-yard touchdown pass from Boyd to Sammy Watkins to give Clemson the early lead. Two Troy turnovers in the first quarter would turn into field goals for Clemson. The first 46-yard try from Chandler Catanzaro came after Albert muffed a punt with 11:16 to go in the first and the second 46-yard try came after a Southward fumble with 2:24 to go in the opening frame. Sandwiched between the two field goals was a steady scoring drive by the Trojans in which Troy had four successful third-down conversions. The longest conversion came on a third-and-nine at the Clemson 13-yard line when Thomas caught a Robinson pass that brought Troy to the one-yard line. That gain set up a Southward touchdown run. Michael Taylor’s extra point attempt would be no good. The Troy offense took advantage of the scoreless second frame by the Tigers as they posted 10 points, the first three coming on a 21-yard Taylor field goal that was set up by Barry Valcin’s 50-yard interception return. After Clemson’s fourth scoreless drive of the second quarter, the Trojans took over at their own 39-yard-line and used five plays and 2:27 to take the lead as Robinson hit Thomas for a 16-yard touchdown strike. Taylor’s successful extra point gave the Trojans their 16-13 halftime lead. The Tigers however retook the lead on their second drive of the third quarter and never looked back. The Trojans’ defense lost tight end Dwayne Allen on the sideline and Tajh Boyd found him for a 54-yard touchdown. The long play came on third down, giving the Tigers their first third-down conversion in 10 attempts. Catanzaro’s extra point gave Clemson a 20-16 lead. Clemson drove 80 yards for the second consecutive possession, capping off another touchdown drive with a seven-yard pass to Jaron Brown. Catanzaro missed the PAT leaving the score at 26-16. Troy capped off the third quarter on a positive note as D.J. Taylor scampered for 56-yards on the final play of the frame. Nine plays into the fourth quarter, the Trojans would turn the long run into three points as Taylor knocked a 20-yard field goal through, getting Troy within seven at 26-19. Mike Bellamy broke to the outside on a 75-yard rush for a score to give Clemson a two-score lead at 33-19. The Tigers would tack on a 45-yard field goal and a seven-play 42-yard touchdown drive for the final score of 43-19.

Arkansas Sept. 10 • Razorback Stadium • Fayetteville, Ark.
TROY 28 #14 Arkansas
38
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The Trojans made it close in the second half, but a 24-point, first half outburst was enough to carry No.14 Arkansas past Troy, 38-28 at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium. Troy outscored the Razorbacks, 21-14 in the second half and used three turnovers to keep it close. The Trojans (0-2) outgained the Razorbacks, 457-454 on the night, but were outrushed, 151-84. Corey Robinson finished with 373 passing yards on a career-high 36 completions with another careerhigh 63 attempts. The sophomore signal caller threw three touchdowns and one interception. Corey Johnson was Robinson’s top target as he caught eight balls for 59 yards. Stanley Arukwe posted a team-high 84 receiving yards. The Trojans would close the gap to within 10 in the third quarter and they seemed primed to climb back into the game. After surrendering a 79-yard touchdown drive to the Razorbacks (3-0) on their first possession of the third, the Troy defense would settle down, score a touchdown and force two three-and-outs. LaDarrius Madden provided the defensive score when he picked off a Tyler Wilson pass and returned it 53 yards for a touchdown. The Trojans first defensive touchdown since 2009 at home against ULM, followed by a Taylor PAT got Troy within 10. Sandwiched between the defensive stops was a quick-strike, two-play scoring drive from the Trojans that brought the score to 31-14. Robinson scrambled for a career-long 28 yards before hitting Justin Albert for a 32-yard touchdown pass. However, the Razorbacks opened the fourth quarter with a 56-yard touchdown pass from Wilson to Joe Adams that moved the lead back to 17 points at 38-21. On the very next play from scrimmage, Robinson threw an interception, marking the Trojans only turnover of the game. After the Trojans’ turnover, the Razorbacks would cough it up twice, and although the Trojans marched into Arkansas territory both times, they were stopped on downs on both occasions. The Trojans did add a 24-yard touchdown pass from Robinson to Eric Thomas to get the score to the final margin of 38-28. The scoring connection was the second of the game and third of the season between the two sophomores. The Trojans had their chances in the first half as they posted 255 yards of total offense and drove into Arkansas territory on four of their five drives. However, a late touchdown was all the offense Troy could muster as the Trojans went into the break trailing, 24-7. The late scoring drive covered seven plays and was highlighted by a Robinson strike to Arukwe for 27 yards. Thomas fought off a defender in the corner of the end zone to catch a touchdown pass from Robinson for his first TD catch of the evening. The score put the Trojans on the board and capped a 50-yard drive that took 1:12 off the clock, however, it came after Troy had already given up 24 first half points. Arkansas rushed for 105 yards in the first half, with Ronnie Wingo Jr. rushing in for scores from 22 yards and 21 yards out in the first quarter. Combined with his two touchdowns in 2009 and TD reception later in the second half, Wingo Jr. finished the night with five career touchdowns against the Trojans. Kody Walker also rushed for a touchdown in the first half for the Hogs. Ten of the Razorbacks’ first half points came on drives that were extended by Troy defensive pass interference calls. The Trojans also cost themselves six points in the first half as Taylor missed field goals of 33 and 31 yards. The Razorbacks outrushed the Trojans 105-32 in the first half while Robinson outpassed Wilson 223-178. Arukwe caught all four of his passes and picked up his 84 yards in the first half to pace the Trojans.

Middle Tennessee 35 TROY

TROY, Ala. – The Troy Trojans continued their recent dominance of Middle Tennessee on Saturday as the Trojans defeated the Blue Raiders, 38-35, to capture their sixth straight victory in the “Battle for the Palladium.” Troy (1-2, 1-0) did so in front of 20,185 fans at the newly dedicated Larry Blakeney Field at Veterans Memorial Stadium. Middle Tennessee (0-3, 0-1) outgained the Trojans on the day, 582479 but two turnovers proved to be costly for the Blue Raiders. The Trojans committed one turnover but the Blue Raiders did not score on the ensuing possession. Middle Tennessee marched 95 yards on nine plays and scored with 3:18 remaining in the game to get within three at 38-35. Kilgore would complete his fifth touchdown pass of the game, this one to Anthony Amos from 34 yards out. The Trojans defense bent but didn’t break as they forced Middle Tennessee into a fourth down at the Troy 35 where Brannon Bryan came up with his second career interception to seal the deal. The Trojans took their first lead in the third quarter. Robinson found Chandler Worthy streaking down the middle of the field for a 75-yard touchdown grab to put Troy up 31-28. The long bomb was the only play on the drive as Michael Taylor’s PAT put Troy up by three. Chris Anderson’s first touchdown of the season came on an eight-yard rush early in the fourth to cap off a seven-play, 64 yard drive. Taylor’s PAT put the Trojans up by 10 as they continued to attack a tired Middle Tennessee defense. The Trojans picked up 302 of their 479 total offensive yards in the second half. Taylor connected on a 28-yard field goal mid-way through the third quarter to get the Trojans within four and set-up the go ahead and pull away scores. The three points came after the two sides traded touchdowns early in the half. Malcolm Beyah caught a 30-yard touchdown pass for the Blue Raiders while Eric Thomas caught a 46-yard strike for the Trojans. The Blue Raiders struck first as Reggie Whatley took a screen pass from Kilgore down the sideline for 82 yards and a touchdown. The quick strike touchdown marked the first time that Middle Tennessee led against Troy since 2006. For the second straight week the Trojans defense put points on the board as Kilgore coughed up the ball early in the second quarter. On a third down pass play, Jonathan Massaquoi and John Robles combined to sack Kilgore with Robles forcing the fumble. Chris Pickett scooped the loose ball at Troy’s own 37 yard line and took it to the house to tie things up at 7-7. The Blue Raiders went back ahead mid-way through the second quarter as Kilgore connected with Sancho McDonald down the middle of the field for a 50yard touchdown. The Trojans used the first sustained drive of the contest to pull even at 14-14. Troy marched 68 yards on 10 plays with the score coming on an eight-yard pass from Corey Robinson to Jaquon Robinson. Middle Tennessee would respond before the close of the half with their own 10 play drive that covered 80 yards and capped off with a 37 yard touchdown pass from Kilgore, to Benny Cunningham. The score came with 50 seconds left in the half and gave the Blue Raiders a 21-14 halftime lead.

UAB Oct. 1 • Veterans Memorial Stadium • Troy, Ala.

TROY, Ala. – The Troy University football team scored 10 points in the final 5:18 of the game and overcame three second-half turnovers as they downed UAB, 24-23 at Larry Blakeney Field at Veterans Memorial Stadium. The outcome was eerily similar to the one between the two teams in Birmingham last season, except this time the roles were reversed. Troy seemed to shoot themselves in the foot with the three second half turnovers, but the defense stepped up and didn’t allow UAB an offensive touchdown in that half while UAB’s one turnover proved to be the costliest of all. The Blazers quarterback, Jonathan Perry, starting in place of the injured Bryan Ellis, threw an interception at his own 18 yard line with 5:00 minutes remaining. Jimmie Anderson returned his fourth career interception to the 12, setting up the Trojans for the go-ahead score. On the third play of the ensuing drive, D.J. Taylor punched in his third rushing touchdown of the game to tie the score at 23-23. Michael Taylor’s PAT with 4:07 remaining gave the Trojans the 24-23 lead. Taylor kept the Trojans in the game just over a minute earlier as he knocked through a 48-yard field goal with 5:18 remaining after the defense kept the Blazers from capitalizing on the Trojans’ third turnover of the half. Stanley Arukwe, after catching a 10-yard pass from Robinson, fumbled the ball and UAB recovered, marking that third turnover. The defense did its job and forced a missed field goal by UAB and the Trojans started the drive that ended with Taylor’s field goal, down by nine at 23-14 with 7:12 remaining in the contest. The Trojans defense allowed a season-best 356 yards of total offense while the Trojans picked up 521. Troy racked up a season-high 172 yards on the ground, led by Chris Anderson’s 69. The Trojans, who entered halftime with a 14-13 lead, allowed UAB to pull ahead with 6:39 remaining in the third quarter when Long connected on a 41-yard field goal. The Blazers would go up two possessions on Troy’s first turnover. T.J. Ballou picked off a Corey Robinson pass intended for B.J. Chitty and returned it 52 yards for a touchdown. The defensive score coupled with Long’s PAT put UAB up 23-14. A 91-yard punt return by Jackie Williams sent up the Blazers first score of the game, but not without a valiant effort from the Troy defense. The return gave UAB the ball at the Trojans’ one yard line where Troy stopped the Blazers on three straight plays. However, a personal foul after the third attempt gave UAB an automatic first down, and on the second play after the penalty, Perry rushed in from one-yard out. Troy responded on the very next drive, marching 64 yards on seven plays with the majority coming on a 21-yard catch by Jim Teknipp. Taylor capped off the drive with a three-yard touchdown scamper, his first of the season. Troy would take the lead with a 96-yard drive late in the second quarter. The long scoring march lasted 11 plays with Jaquon Robinson making key receptions of 25 and 13 yards. The acrobatic catches set up Taylor’s second TD run of the game to put Troy up 14-10. The Blazers would sandwich that drive with two field goals in the second quarter. Ty Long connected from 37 yards on both attempts to pull UAB within one at 14-13 entering halftime. Corey Robinson finished the game, 30-for-49 with 349 yards, however, for the first time in his career, did not throw a touchdown pass. Fifteen different Trojans caught a pass on the day.

Miami, Fla. – The FIU Panthers (5-3, 2-2) would have to take the Troy Trojans (25, 1-3) into overtime before claiming the Trojans’ third straight Sun Belt conference loss on Tuesday night in Miami. After a quick three and out on their first offensive drive the Trojan attack was back with a drive of 76 yards in six plays that included a 51-yard completion from Troy quarterback Corey Robinson to wide receiver Stanley Arukwe that set up a 14-yard DJ Taylor touchdown run giving Troy the early 7-0 lead. Troy’s defense would continue to hold throughout the first quarter. However, on FIU’s fourth offensive drive, the Panthers would drive down the field 61 yards in eight plays but after three false start penalties would have to settle for a 32-yard Jack Griffin field goal. Troy’s offense would struggle again and would have to punt for the third time. After driving 54 yards, FIU quarterback Wesley Carroll was intercepted by freshman defensive back Dimitri Miles. With a 16-yard return on the interception, Troy began its next offensive drive on the opposing 38-yard line. The Trojan offense drove the clock down to one second remaining in the first half before turning the ball over on downs. FIU’s offense took a knee sending the game into half time with Troy leading FIU 7-3. Troy received the kick to open the second half. The Trojans drove 43 yards down the field but would stall sending kicker Michael Taylor out for a 52 yard field goal that turned out to be a punt. On the ensuing drive, Carroll connected with receiver Wayne Times for a 76-yard touchdown pass to give the Panthers their first lead over Troy at 10-7. On the following Panther drive, Carroll connected again to his receiver, this time it was Jacob Younger for a 43-yard touchdown pass. The touchdown would make the score 17-7 with the Panthers leading. Troy’s quarterback Robinson would give up an interception on the next drive. However the Trojan defense stood tall forcing FIU to punt again. The Trojans would stick to their ground game on the next drive rushing on six consecutive plays capped off by a three yard touchdown rush closing the Panther lead to 17-13. Michael Taylor missed the extra point, his second miss of the season. Troy’s defense answered with a big play on the ensuing Panther drive as Ethan Davis forced a fumble allowing Tony Davis to return it 30 yards for Troy’s second fumble return for a touchdown of the season. After Taylor’s extra point Troy would claim their second lead of the night at 20-17. With 5:32 remaining in the game, Troy punter Will Goggans would be forced to punt to FIU’s TY Hilton who returned the punt 33 yards to give the Panthers a start on Troy’s 21-yard line. The Panthers would drive down 18 yards in five plays to hit a 20-yard field goal, tying the game at 20-20 with 3:31 left in the game. After a 24-yard Worthy return, Troy began its next drive on its own 34-yard line. However, Troy stalled after three plays and would be forced to punt the ball back to FIU.

The Panthers would run the clock down before punting with two seconds left allowing Troy to try one last Hail-Mary play. Robinson’s pass would be intercepted sending the game into overtime. In the Trojans first overtime game since 2009, they would start first on offense but after stalling attempted a 43-yard field which would swing wide right.

Navy Nov. 5 • Navy-Marine Corps MS • Annapolis, Md.
TROY 14 Navy
42
Annapolis, Md. – The Trojan (2-6, 1-3) football team could not overcome the Navy (3-6) triple option offense or the turnover margin in their 42-14 defeat to Midshipmen in their first ever meeting. In Navy’s first drive of the game, running back Gee Gee Greene took a 38-yard carry on third down to put the Midshipman in Trojan territory for the first time. The Trojan defense would hold on a later third down bringing up a fourth and one on Troy’s 27-yard line. A false start penalty on fourth down would help the Trojan defense by backing up the Midshipmen to the Trojans 32-yard line. Troy’s defense would stop Navy’s fourth down conversion giving Troy their first offensive start of the day on their own 32yard line. After a promising first drive that included a 13-yard rush by D.J. Taylor, a Corey Robinson to Shawn Southward reception for 14 yards and a Southward 14-yard rush, the Trojans would fumble and lose possession setting up Navy’s second drive on their own 24-yard line. On Navy’s ensuing drive, quarterback Kriss Proctor connected to John Howell for a 42-yard pass that would go on to set up a 1-yard Proctor touchdown run giving Navy a 7-0 lead with six minutes left in the first quarter. After moving the ball 24 yards on their next drive, the Trojans would not be able to dig out of a 5-yard substitution penalty and would be forced to punt the ball back to Navy. However, the 44-yard Will Goggans’ punt would force the Midshipmen to start their next drive on their own 1-yard line. The Trojan defense held Navy and forced a punt giving the Trojan offense their third drive on their own 49-yard line. However another offensive fumble would give the Midshipmen another possession starting on their own 35- yard line to end the first quarter. On the ensuing Navy drive, Proctor would connect to Greene for a 48-yard Navy touchdown giving the Midshipmen a 14-0 lead. Troy showed life on the following Navy kickoff as freshman Chandler Worthy returned the kickoff 48 yards. Troy started it’s next drive at midfield, but the Troy offense stalled and was forced to punt. Navy’s offense continued to pound the ball out on the ground, driving 87 yards for another Midshipmen touchdown giving Navy a 21-0 lead with about nine minutes left in the first half. Another three and out for the Trojan offense would give Navy another offensive drive starting in Trojan territory after a Goggans punt. Navy would score in only three plays to make their lead 28-0. Navy’s offense would not be looking for the locker room just yet as they tacked on one more touchdown to give them a 35-0 lead with 13 seconds left in the half. The touchdown would also give Troy their largest first half deficit of the season. However, just before half time Chandler Worthy would have the final word with a 54-yard kickoff return topping his earlier 48 yard return for the longest kick return of the season for the Trojans, as well as Worthy’s young career.

North Texas 38 TROY

TROY, Ala. – Troy (2-7, 1-4) suffered three turnovers in it’s 38-33 loss to North Texas (4-6, 3-3). The Mean Green managed to capitalize on all three turnovers on their way to victory over the Trojans in Troy’s 2011 homecoming game. Troy’s defense held North Texas to a minimal gain on their opening drive, the Trojans returned possession to the Mean Green on a fumble on their opening drive. North Texas turned the Trojan error into points on the ensuing drive with a 15-yard touchdown run by quarterback Derek Thompson. The Trojans quickly answered back on their next offensive series, as Troy capped off a 63-yard drive with a four-yard touchdown rush by quarterback Corey Robinson. The scoring rush would be the first rushing touchdown of his career. On the following Mean Green drive, North Texas drove 68 yards down the field with the help of a 40-yard completion from Thompson to wide receiver Chris Bynes. However, the Trojan defense would stand tall inside it’s own 10-yard line and would force North Texas to settle for a 21-yard field goal giving them a 10-7 lead at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, after a tough defensive battle, North Texas would get on the board once again in the form of a 52-yard rushing touchdown by Mean Green running back James Hamilton. After struggling with the passing game and suffering two three-and outs in the second quarter Troy switched to their running game pounding the ball on the ground 45 yards. However it was Troy’s passing game that secured the points as Robinson connected to wide receiver Eric Thomas on a 31-yard touchdown pass making the score 17-14, with Troy trailing only by three with under five minutes to play in the first half. Troy’s defense would build on the momentum shift on the ensuing North Texas drive as Trojan cornerback Jimmie Anderson intercepted a Derek Thompson pass. Troy would turn the North Texas error into points with a 5-yard touchdown pass to BJ Chitty giving Troy a 21-17 lead with under three minutes left in the half. North Texas did answer back on the following drive with a Thompson to Ivan Delgado 28-yard touchdown reception that would give the Mean Green another lead at 24-21 going into half time. The Trojan defense came out strong in the second half holding North Texas on a fourth down conversion attempt in their first drive. However, Troy gave the ball back on an interception on the following drive to give the Mean Green possession on their own 4-yard line. The Trojan defense would hold again forcing a North Texas punt. Troy repaired their passing game on their next drive as Robinson connected to Eric Thomas again for a 33-yard touchdown pass. Kicker Michael Taylor’s extra point was no good, but Troy still gained the lead at 27-24 with under five minutes left in the third quarter. North Texas’ first offensive drive of the fourth quarter, Thompson connected again with Bynes on a 46-yard touchdown completion to give the Mean Green the lead at 31-27. Troy fumbled on it’s next offensive drive giving North Texas possession on Troy’s six-yard line. North Texas turned that turnover into points with a six-yard Hamilton touchdown run giving the Mean Green a 38-27 lead. Troy’s offense would not be done in, as they passed their way 80 yards down the field for a Robinson to Felton Payton 10-yard touchdown pass for his first career touchdown reception. After a failed two-point conversion the Trojans trailed North Texas 38-33 with less than eight minutes remaining.

Troy, Ala. – The Trojan (3-7, 2-4) football team honored their seniors in their final home game at Veterans Memorial Stadium with a 34-7 victory over the Florida Atlantic Owls (0-10, 0-7). The victory snaps a five-game losing streak and protects the Trojans from finishing last in the Sun Belt conference. Despite giving up two fumbles and an interception in only the first half, the Trojan offense had found their rhythm once again. With the help of a 52-yard Will Goggans’ punt the Trojan defense held FAU to a punt from their own end zone allowing Troy to start their first possession of the second quarter in FAU territory. In their opening drive of the second quarter the Trojan offense drove down to the FAU 10 yard line before having to settle for a 27- yard field goal by kicker Michael Taylor. The Trojan offense continued to produce when three drives later as they drove 79 yards down the field capped off by a pass from Corey Robinson to Khary Franklin for a 14-yard touchdown reception. The score would be Franklin’s first career touchdown coming in his first career start. Troy’s offense was still not done, as Robinson connected to Eric Thomas on a 57yard touchdown pass giving Troy a 17-0 lead over FAU. The Owls would answer right back, however driving 72 yards to score on a 10yard Alfred Morris rushing touchdown. FAU would go on to drive down the field in their final drive of the half to attempt a 47 yard field goal with five seconds left; however FAU kicker Vinny Zaccario’s attempt would fail sending the Trojans into the locker room with a 17-7 lead at the half. Troy’s offense would get a big boost in the second half by their punt returner Justin Albert who after recording a 38-yard punt return in the first half would top it with his longest return of the season on a 47-yard punt return in the third quarter to give Troy possession at FAU’s 19-yard line. However, Troy failed to convert Albert’s efforts into points after a failed 33-yard Taylor field goal attempt. On Troy’s following offensive drive Corey Robinson completed to Eric Thomas on two consecutive passes totaling 34 yards to set up a 2-yard touchdown rush by Shawn Southward to build the Troy lead to 24-7. On the ensuing FAU drive, Troy’s defense stood tall finished with an interception courtesy of Trojan safety Barry Valcin. Troy’s offense would turn that turnover into points with a 25-yard touchdown pass from Robinson to Thomas giving the Trojans a 31-7 lead. With the demanding lead Troy moved to its running game to run out the clock. The Trojan running backs did more than that as DJ Taylor and Chris Anderson pounded the ball out on the ground for 62 yards to set up a Michael Taylor 35-yard field goal. Taylor’s final field goal would build the Trojan lead to 34-7. The Trojan defense would go on to secure that lead as the final horn sounded giving Troy the win and snapping a five game losing streak in the Trojans final home game of the season. .

Bowling Green, Ky. – The Trojans (3-8, 2-5) fell to Western Kentucky (7-5, 7-1) for the first time in school history, 41-18. The Trojans had success defensively but continued to struggle with a young offense. The Trojan defense stood tall courtesy of a Jonathan Massaquoi forced fumble on third down bringing up a 34yard Hilltopper field goal. The attempt would go wide right allowing the Trojan offense to start their first drive from their own 20-yard line. Troy’s first offensive drive would stall and the Trojans would be forced to punt back to the Hilltoppers. The Trojan defense stood tall again causing a WKU punt on the ensuing drive, however the punt ricocheted off of a Trojan player and the Hilltoppers would recover the ball on their own 11-yard line. The Trojan defense would be up to the task yet again after forcing a 21-yard Western Kentucky field goal attempt, Jonathan Massaquoi would be there to get the block for Troy sending the Hilltopper offense off the field scoreless again. The Trojan offense would stall again setting up another WKU offensive drive. On the drive, Hilltopper quarterback Kawaun Jakes connected on a 39-yard completion to Jack Doyle that set up a Wes Jeffries one yard touchdown run giving the Hilltoppers a 7-0 lead in the second quarter. Troy quarterback Corey Robinson connected to wide receiver Corey Johnson for a 43-yard completion putting Troy in the WKU red zone for the first time in the game. The completion set up a one yard D.J. Taylor rush for a touchdown. However after a missed extra point the Trojans would still trail 7-6 with 1:27 remaining in the first half. Penalties cost the Trojans as a pass interference penalty in Troy’s red zone would set up Jakes’ 9-yard rush for a touchdown to give WKU a 14-6 lead heading into halftime. Western Kentucky turned a turnover on downs into points with the help of a Jakes 45-yard rush. The drive would be capped off by a 1-yard Bobby Rainey touchdown run, however Jesse Roy would miss the extra point attempt giving the Hilltoppers a 20-6 lead over Troy.

On the ensuing kickoff, WKU’s John Evans returned the kick for 52 yards giving WKU a start on the Trojan 33-yard line on their next drive. The Trojan defense would answer the call again and force a short WKU punt. Troy’s offense struggled again and after a Will Goggans punt WKU began their next offensive drive on the 50-yard line. Hilltopper running back Bobby Rainey carried his team down the field rushing for 30 yards and capping the drive off with a four yard touchdown run to build the Hilltopers lead to 27-12.

TROY 14 Arkansas State

Jonesboro, Ark. – The Troy Trojans (3-9, 2-6) fell to the Arkansas State Red Wolves (10-2, 8-0). The Trojans defense stood strong against the explosive Red Wolves, but it was the ASU defense that made the biggest difference in the matchup. Troy struggled in the opening kickoff as Chandler Worthy fumbled on an attempted reverse from Stanley Arukwe giving the Trojans their first offensive start on their own one yard line. Arkansas State’s offense came out strong in their opening drive as quarterback Ryan Aplin connected to Julian Jones on a 51-yard pass on their first play. The Troy defense would make a stand and force a long 53-yard ASU field goal. Kicker Bobby Zalud’s kick would be good diving the Wolves an early 3-0 lead on the Trojans. Troy’s offense would continue to click on the following drive as Shawn Southward ran for a 14- yard game on the first play of the drive as well as a 21-yard completion from Robinson to Corey Johnson. However, on the following drive ASU’s defense would pick up a forced fumble and return for a 60-yard touchdown putting the Trojans behind 10-0. After a defensive battle to close out the first quarter, ASU’s Don Jones recovered the blocked Will Goggans punt and was able to return it for a 12-yard touchdown, putting the Red Wolves up 17-0. After more offensive struggles between both squads the ASU defense would create another turnover, this time in the form of a interception by Darryl Feemster giving the Red Wolves another offensive drive starting at their own 40 yard line. Arkansas State’s offense would finally find a way past the Trojan defense as they moved their way down to Troy’s 20 yard line. Troy’s offense finally found their rhythm on the following drive moving down the field 80 yards capped off by a 34 yard touchdown pass from Robinson to Chandler Worthy cutting into the ASU lead 17-7. ASU quickly answered back with their first offensive touchdown on a 30 yard touchdown pass to Dwayne Frampton to push their lead to 24-7. With 44 seconds remaining in the first half Troy’s offense was not finished. The Trojans passed their way down the field to the ASU 26 yard line. With about 18 seconds remaining Corey Robinson connected to wide receiver Eric Thomas who pushed his way up to about the ASU 15 yard line, then as he was met by two defenders Thomas quickly pitched the ball to Felton Peyton who would take the ball into the end zone for a Trojan touchdown. The score would send both teams into halftime with ASU leading 24-14. Troy kicked off to Arkansas State to begin the second half. After the Michael Taylor kickoff went into the back of the end zone ASU began their first drive on their own 20-yard line. The Trojan defense continued their performance and held the Red Wolves to a punt, although a miscue on the punt return team would give ASU’s offense possession again on Troy’s 44-yard line. After a drive down inside the Trojan red zone the defense still refused to quit as LaDarrius Madden picked off ASU quarterback Ryan Aplin on Troy’s 1-yard line. After a 10 yard return on the interception Troy’s offense finally got its first shot of the second half on its own 11-yard line. The Trojan offense made its way down to the ASU 31-yard line but settled for a 48-yard field goal attempt by Michael Taylor. The kick went wide right and would leave the Trojans trailing at 24-14. ASU’s offense found its way around the Trojan defense again on the next drive. The Red Wolves drove 69 yards down the field for a 10 yard touchdown pass from Aplin to Taylor Stockemer to give the Wolves a 31-14 lead. ASU went on to claim two more scores in the fourth quarter with a Derek Lawson 6-yard touchdown rush and a 9-yard pass completion to Rod Hall to give ASU a 4514 lead.

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

National Champions
1984 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS Ted Clem’s 50-yard field goal with no time remaining handed Troy an 18-17 win over North Dakota State and the 1984 Division II national championship in McAllen, Texas. With under 1:30 left in the game, Troy senior quarterback Carey Christensen, who had suffered a foot injury earlier in the season and split time with freshman Mike Turk, led Troy on a last-ditch drive. Starting from the Trojans’ 10-yard line, Christensen led Troy to the Bison 32. With the clock running, the kicking team was rushed onto the field. Clem’s foot met the ball as the horn sounded, and his attempt sailed through the uprights for the win. “The Kick,” as it is known in Trojan football lore, was the longest field goal in Division II playoff history at the time. Clem was not the only freshman walk-on to make an impact on the Trojans winning the national title. Turk, who walked on in the spring of 1984, moved rapidly up the depth chart and was thrust into the starting role in the third game of the season after Christensen went down with a broken foot. Turk carried the load the rest of the season as the starter, going on to earn Gulf South Conference “Freshman of the Year” honors. Then coached by Chan Gailey, the Trojans opened the season with a 26-7 win over Nicholls State. The defense held the Colonels to just 83 yards on the ground, with Rufus Cox delivering the striking blow on a 51-yard touchdown catch from Christensen. Troy rolled through Florida A&M the next week, 17-3, and followed that up with a 35-26 win over Livingston. Holding on to a slim 28-26 lead, and with Livingston driving, Mike Brewster returned an interception 44 yards for a touchdown to seal the win, which was marred by the loss of Christensen early in the game with a broken foot. Turk came on in relief, going 8-of-13 passing for 166 yards and a touchdown. The Trojan offense racked up 468 yards, 382 on the ground, in a 41-10 win over West Georgia. The ground attack continued its pounding the next week, racking up 331 yards, 92 by Turk, in a 27-12 win over Valdosta State. Trailing No. 10 Mississippi College 7-0 in the fourth quarter, the Trojans scored twice in the final six minutes to pull out a 14-7 win. Turk began the rally with a quarterback sneak from the 1-yard line. On the ensuing kickoff, Brewster forced a fumble, which Troy recovered at the Choctaw 20. One play later, Turk found Rufus Cox with a TD pass to preserve the Trojans’ victory. The offense was back in order against Delta State, racking up 459 yards in a 35-20 win over the Statesmen. The Trojans then faced another setback, dropping a 13-10 decision to UNA. Troy had two chances late in the game, but an interception coupled with Clem missing a 39-yard field goal with nine seconds left, sealed Troy’s fate. Troy bounced back to win its last two games and the Gulf South Conference title. The Trojans routed UT-Martin, 31-7, on Homecoming and wrapped up the regular season with a 42-39 victory over archrival Jacksonville State. With the GSC title, the Trojans advanced to the Division II playoffs and hosted Central State (Ohio) in the quarterfinals. The wishbone offense flexed its muscles, running up 579 yards of offense, as Troy pulled out a 31-21 win. The semifinals were a repeat of the quarterfinals as the offense ruled the day. Troy pounded out 537 yards and demolished Towson State, 45-3, to advance to the title game.

National Champions
1987 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS Led by an offense that averaged 430.4 yards per game, the Troy football team won its last 12 games to claim the 1987 Division II national title. The Trojans got off to 0-1-1 start, dropping an 18-17 decision on the road at Southeast Missouri in the opener. Ted Clem missed a 42-yard field goal in the final minute which would have given the Trojans the lead. Troy followed its tough opener with a 17-17 tie with Nicholls State. On a rain-soaked field, Clem missed another clutch kick, this time a 40-yarder with a 1:39 left. Troy's offense showed its strength in the home opener against West Texas with a 45-0 rout. Mike Turk led the offense with 50 yards on six carries as the offense racked up 356 yards. The Trojans picked up some confidence in pulling out a 24-17 win over Livingston on the road. The Troy offense picked up 349 yards of total offense, highlighted by Titus Dixon's 63-yard touchdown reception from Turk in the second quarter. The offense continued to roll for Troy the next week, racking up a then school-record 621 yards in a 44-6 win over West Georgia. Backup quarterback Bob Godsey came on in relief of Turk and led the Troy offensive attack with 88 yards on six carries, including a 66-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. The Trojans put up more than 40 points their next two games to extend their winning streak to five. Troy went on the road and demolished nationally ranked and previously undefeated Valdosta State, 44-7 and followed that with a 48-21 victory over Mississippi College, as Thomas Miller and Al Harris both ran back interceptions for touchdowns. The Trojans scored 30 or more in the next three games to capture eight in a row. Tony Jackson rushed for 123 yards on 20 carries as Troy defeated Delta State, 38-6. The next week Turk guided the offense, going 7-of-10 for 112 yards and one touchdown, while rushing for 67 yards on seven carries and touchdown, as Troy blew out North Alabama, 38-3. The Trojans continued their offensive ways in a 31-21 win over UT-Martin. Troy broke the school-record for the second time during the season, rolling up 633 yards in the win. Turk was 11-of-18 passing for 262 yards with two touchdowns and a 97-yard TD pass to Dixon. With the Gulf South Conference title on the line, Troy defeated archrival Jacksonville State, 14-9, to earn a berth in the Division II playoffs. Turk led the offense with 101 yards rushing, with Jackson adding 78. Troy ran its win streak to 10 games with a 45-14 win over Winston-Salem in the quarterfinals. The Troy offense picked up 383 yards rushing, led by Jackson's 93 yards on 12 carries. The defense stepped up in the semifinals, causing eight turnovers, four interceptions and four fumbles, as Troy defeated Central Florida, 31-10, to advance to the title game. Turk led the offense again, rushing for two touchdowns and passing for another, leading the Troy rushing attack with 78 yards on 13 carries. The Trojans would not be denied in the national title game, rallying from a 10-3 halftime deficit to pull out a 31-17 win over Portland State and their second national title in four years. Turk set a championship game record with 190 yards on 25 carries and Dixon ran the reverse four times for 111 yards, and one 49-yard TD. Turk was named to the All-America team following his senior season and was runner-up for the Harlon Hill Trophy.

TROY TROJANS MAKE FIRST BOWL APPEARANCE OF DIVISION I ERA SAN JOSE, Calif. - The Trojans started their first appearance in a bowl game with a 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 Claim 1st Bowl Victory NEW ORLEANS, La. - The talk around Troy practice all week leading up to the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl was about being the first team in school history to win a bowl game. The Trojans made sure their first trip to represent the Sun Belt Conference in New Orleans was a memorable one by jumping on the Rice Owls with 21 first quarter points and never looking back in a 41-17 victory in front of 24,791 fans at the Louisiana Superdome. Junior quarterback Omar Haugabook showed why he was named Sun Belt Player of the Year by running and passing for five touchdowns in earning game Most Valuable Player honors in unanimous fashion. Haugabook rushed for 92 yards and one score and completed 14 of 28 passes for 217 yards and a New Orleans Bowl record four touchdowns. The Trojans finished the 2006 season with an 8-5 record while Rice closed its year at 7-6.

TROY MAKES RETURN TRIP TO NEW ORLEANS BOWL 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. 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 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 picked up a first down on their possession on a swing-pass to Jerrel Jernigan. Faced with a third-down just three plays later, the conversion failed. “We knew the game was going to be a close game,” Troy head coach Larry Blakeney said. “We knew that both teams would probably score some points. We thought that we would be able to move it a little bit better. I said last week that whoever rushes it the best will wind up winning the game and that’s what happened. We got to overtime tied at 27. They get a ricochet field goal for three and we get one blocked. That’s about as close as it gets. “Our kids played hard, played together and never gave up and we lost the game. We are going to get home and get back to work. I’m very proud of this team and especially our seniors for what they have done.”

TROY MAKES BACK-TO-BACK Bowl Appearances MOBILE, Ala. - For the second time in as many seasons, the Troy University Trojans got their post-season hearts broken in the flash of an overtime blocked field goal. This time, in the 2010 GMAC Bowl, it was sophomore Michael Taylor’s attempt from 31 yards in the second overtime that was blocked by Central Michigan’s Vince Agnew, opening the door for the Chippewas’ game-winning 37-yard field goal in a 44-41 victory over Troy. “I hate [it] for the kids, it hurts them,” Troy head coach Larry Blakeney said. “I’m an old guy, I can handle it more readily. When your older and more mature your able to handle winning and losing a little better. “I’m proud of the Troy fans. They showed up and did their part. They’ll be like me, scratching around trying to get back to the GMAC bowl next year. I want to commend everyone from the leadership to the volunteers who took real good care of us.” 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. Levi Brown threw for 386 yards and a touchdown to become the first player in school and Sun Belt history to throw for more than 4,000 yards in a season. Jerrel Jernigan had nine receptions in the game for 154 yards, and became just the fourth player in school history with more than 1,000 receiving yards in a season; he finished the game with 350 all-purpose yards. DuJuan Harris had his first 100-yard rushing game of the season and scored three touchdowns in the game for the Trojans.

Trojans Truck Ohio in New Orleans Bowl NEW ORLEANS, La. - The Trojans made it look easy in the Big Easy as they rolled to a 48-21 victory over the Ohio Bobcats in the10th Anniversary R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. “We’re certainly proud to be sitting here as the victors over Ohio U,” Troy head coach Larry Blakeney said. “We prepared well, and I think our kids, after coming back from some pretty tough losses and closing with two wins and being the co-champs, helped motivate us. We haven’t won here since we beat Rice. I felt a lot of energy. I wanted to make sure it wasn’t just about being in New Orleans.” That “energy” resonated the most through the Trojans freshman quarterback who put on a show for ESPN’s national audience. Bowl MVP Corey Robinson threw for a New Orleans Bowl record 387 yards and four touchdowns as the Trojans’ offense racked up 607 total yards on the night. Jerrel Jernigan added to his NFL resume tape as well in his final game as a Trojan. Jernigan caught seven passes on the night for 48 yards and a touchdown. He also rushed three times for 16 yards and a score, all after being down with the flu. With the Bobcats’ defense focused on double-teaming Jernigan, another star emerged for the Trojans. Senior TeBiarus Gill had three touchdowns on just four receptions, piling up 80 receiving yards in the game for Troy. DuJuan Harris also hit his stride in the bowl win, leading all Trojans on the ground with 105 yards rushing, including a touchdown. A 50-yard rush in the third quarter helped him hit triple figures on the night, and two plays later he earned his score.

National Award winners
AL LUCAS BUCK BUCHANAN AWARD 1999 WINNER This award is given yearly to the top defensive player in the nation at the NCAA Division I-AA level. The award was named after former Grambling State defensive lineman Buck Buchanan, who went on to a stellar career with the Kansas City Chiefs. Two-time All-American defensive tackle Al Lucas claimed the award after the 1999 season. That year, he led the Trojans with an 11-2 record and a berth in the Division I-AA quarterfinals. He finished with 126 tackles, which ranked second on the team and recorded 20 tackles for loss during the season.
NICK COLBERT 2000 SCHOLAR-ATHLETE AWARD Nick Colbert was named a 2000 College Football Scholar-Athlete by the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame. He was one 16 award recepients named in 2000 for the award which represents college football’s finest studentathletes from all divisions. Colbert graduated from Troy in May 2001 with his degree in Biology, and finished with a grade point average better than 3.7. He was an annual member on the school’s Provost and Chancellor 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 an annual dinner for the award. Including Colbert, there have only been eight winners from the state of Alabama, with the last being in 1991 before Colbert’s honor.

Leodis mckelvin - FBS All-american
LEODIS MCKELVIN 2007 ALL-AMERICAN RIVALS, SPORTING NEWS, PRO WEEKLY
ONLY FBS ALL-AMERICAN IN SCHOOL HISTORY Troy’s Leodis McKelvin became Troy’s first Football Bowl Subdivision All-American in 2007 when he named to the Rivals. com All-America Team, The Sporting News All-America First Team and the Pro Football Weekly All-American First Team. McKelvin, a native of Waycross, Ga., was the only player in the nation to return three punts for touchdowns in 2007. He ranked third in the nation with an average of 18.3 yards per return; that included a 74-yard touchdown against Oklahoma State, an 84-yard score against FIU 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. McKelvin also finished his Trojan career with seven career combined punt and kickoff returns for touchdowns, one shy of the all-time NCAA record. An outstanding cover corner, as well, McKelvin recorded 60 total tackles during the season, 52 solo, added two interceptions, 11 pass break-ups and three forced fumbles and excelled against top competition in the Trojans’ biggest games such as Oklahoma State, Georgia, Arkansas and Florida. McKelvin was also one of seven Trojans named to the Rivals. com All-Sun Belt team for 2007. He was joined on the team by quarterback Omar Haugabook, offensive lineman Dion Small, defensive tackle Chris Bradwell, linebacker Boris Lee, defensive back Elbert Mack and kicker Greg Whibbs.

Trojans in the NFL Draft The Troy Trojans name has become synonymous 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 33 players drafted into the ranks of the NFL, including nine that have been drafted since joining the Sun Belt Conference. Troy has had more players selected in the NFL Draft than any school in the league despite not joining the conference until its fourth-year of existence. The Trojans still own the highest draft pick of any Sun Belt Conference member school when DeMarcus Ware was selected 11th overall in 2005 by Dallas, only to be matched by Leodis McKelvin in 2008 when he was selected by the Buffalo Bills.

The Trojans finished the season ranked ninth in the Sports Network poll and third in the Teamlink/CFAA and ESPN/USA Today polls after being ranked number one in all three polls for three consecutive weeks earlier in the season. 2001 - Troy finished 7-4 in its first year as a Division I-A member, upsetting SEC foe Mississippi State on October 13 and defeating Sun Belt Conference champion North Texas, 18-16, to conclude the regular season. The Trojans were the only team in the nation to face the two teams that played for the national championship, No. 1 Miami and No. 2 Nebraska. In December, the Board of Trustees approved an expansion of Veterans Memorial Stadium to be completed by Fall 2003. 2002 - In June, Troy crossed the last hurdle to full Division I-A membership, submitting schedules with a minimum of six Division I-A schools for five seasons. In July, construction began on expansion of Veterans Memorial Stadium, increasing capacity to 30,000. Troy finished 4-8 in its first season as a full member of NCAA Division I-A, playing eight games away from home. The remodeling of Veterans Memorial Stadium began in November, and the final home game of the season against Utah
an 8-5 season. Junior quarterback Omar Haugabook earned Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year honors, Newcomer of the Year and 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 three 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-America 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 its third consecutive Sun Belt Conference Championship by dropping just one confer-
State was played amid construction. Defensive end Osi Umenyiora finished second in the nation in sacks with 16, while the Troy defense ranked fourth nationally in total defense. 2003 - In May, Troy joined in a partnership with Movie Gallery to rename the football stadium to Movie Gallery Veterans Stadium. A month later, the Trojans received an invitation to join the Sun Belt Conference in football in 2004 and all sports in the 2005-06 school year. The Trojans opened their new, 30,000-seat home on September 20 with a 28-0 win over Southeastern Louisiana and followed the next week with a 33-24 victory over Marshall that prompted the Trojan students to tear down the goal posts. Troy finished the season ranked third nationally in interceptions. DeWhitt Betterson tallied a school-record 1,161 yards rushing on 244 carries. 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 highlight 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
ence game throughout the season. The Trojans were rewarded for their efforts with a bid to the New Orleans Bowl and 13 selections to All-Sun Belt Conference Team at the conclusion of the season. 2009 - The Trojans finished off their first undefeated season in Sun Belt Conference history, running away for their fourth consecutive Sun Belt Conference championship and a berth in the GMAC Bowl. Their were several records broken during the season, with senior quarterback Levi Brown setting new marks for passing yards in a single season and passing yards in a single game (twice). He also rewrote the Sun Belt Conference history books, becoming the first quarterback to throw for more than 4,000 yards in a single season. 2010 - The Trojans claimed their fifth consecutive Sun Belt Conference championship, sharing the title with FIU for the first time. The Trojan set several records during the season, including several career records set by Jerrel Jernigan at both the University and in the Sun Belt Conference. The Trojans played in their third New Orleans Bowl since joining the Sun Belt Conference, and captured their second bowl championship in New Orleans as they defeated Ohio University 48-21 in a front of a national television audience on ESPN. 2011 - Following a pair of hard-fought road tests at Clemson and Arkansas to open the season, the Trojans defeated Middle Tennessee and UAB at home to pull even following the opening month of play; the victory over the Blue Raiders was the sixth straight in the series by the Trojans. Troy dropped seven of the final eight games of the season to finish 3-9 overall. Corey Robinson put up the fourth most passing yards, third most completions and sixth most passing touchdowns in a singleseason in school history

Troy Glossary ALABAMA COLLEGIATE CONFERENCE Formed in 1960, the ACC as it was known, was created by four in-state rivals; Troy, Jacksonville State, Florence State (now North Alabama) and Livingston (now West Alabama). The Trojans dominated the last three years of the conference, claiming the league title in 1967, 1968 and 1969. ALABAMA INTERCOLLEGIATE CONFERENCE The ACC’s 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 conference 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 1968 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. He was inducted into the Troy University Sports Hall of Fame in the inaugural class in 2012. 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. BATTLE FOR THE PALLADIUM The Battle for the Palladium is the matchup between Troy and Middle Tennessee. The series elevated to a new level with the news of Troy joining Middle Tennessee in the Sun Belt Conference. In 2003, The Palladium Trophy was introduced in Murfreesboro, Tenn. A year later, Troy officially joined the Sun Belt Conference after completing its final year of transition from Division I-AA (FCS) to I-A (FBS). Greek Mythology holds that The Palladium is a wooden statue that fell from the Heavens. It was kept at the Temple of Athena in the city of Troy. According to legend, as long as The Palladium was preserved within the walls of the city, Troy would be safe and could not be taken. However, a “Raider” by the name of Odysseus - also known as the Raider of Cities - stole The Palladium during the Trojan War leading to the fall of Troy. The Palladium is approximately three feet tall and is made of basswood. Gold leaf was applied to Athena’s helmet, shield and to the tip of the spear. In 2008, ESPN named The Battle for the Palladium as one of the Top 5 non-BCS in-conference rivalries in college football Troy has won seven of the nine meetings since the trophy was introduced into the series and six in a row. BOWL GAMES The Trojans have played in six 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, 2008 & 2010 R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl and the 2010 GMAC Bowl. The Trojans faced arch-rival Jacksonville State in the Paper Bowl, losing 19-0 at Pensacola High School’s new stadium, which had just one set of bleachers, according to records. The game was played on Dec. 18 and sponsored by Southern paper mills as a tribute to the nearly 100,000 workers in the industry at that time. An excerpt from the game program reads “the paper-making industry at Cantonment means much to Pensacola and this area of the state in payrolls and business generally ... December 18 was picked because students were at home for the holidays at this time, and many fans who would like to take in other bowl games later in the month, and on Jan. 1, will be able to do so at this time.” However, 2004 marked the first time the Trojans were eligible for an automatic bowl

bid since moving to Division I-A. Troy’s new home, the Sun Belt Conference, sends its champion to the New Orleans Bowl each season in December. Even though Troy did not earn the automatic bid to the New Orleans Bowl, the Trojans did earn an invitation to the Silicon Valley Football Classic in San Jose, Calif. On a rainy night in California, the Trojans made their Division I-A bowl debut against Northern Illinois from the Mid-American Conference. After jumping out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter, the Trojans turned as cold as the weather and dropped a 34-21 decision to the Huskies. The Trojans earned their first bowl victory in 2005, downing Rice 41-17 in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. Troy earned its way into the bowl by posting a 6-1 record in Sun Belt Conference play to capture their first SBC title. Since that bowl game, the Trojans have played in three other bowl games, the 2008 New Orleans Bowl, the 2010 GMAC Bowl (2009 season) as conference champions and the 2010 New Orleans Bowl. Troy jumped out to a 41-7 lead in the third quarter against Ohio in the 2010 New Orleans Bowl and rolled to a 48-21 victory. Corey Robinson threw for a New Orleans Bowl record 387 yards and Tebiarus Gill caught four passes for 80 yards and three touchdowns. LEVI BROWN Levi Brown rewrote the history books in his final season of 2009. 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. 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). He was inducted into the Troy University Sports Hall of Fame in the inaugural class in 2012. 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 as a true freshman - “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 field goal attempts and consecutive PATs made (166). NICK COLBERT Nick Colbert was named as a 2000 College Football Scholar-Athlete by the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame. He was one of 16 award recipients named in 2000 for the award, which represents college football’s finest student-athletes from all divisions. Colbert graduated from Troy in May 2001 with his degree in Biology. He finished his degree boasting a grade point average better than 3.7. He was an annual member on the school’s Provost’s and Chancellor’s lists for academic excellence. The award has been presented annually since 1959 to players 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 Conference 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
Troy Glossary 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 end zone. 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. Gailey is the current head coach of the Buffalo Bills. 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. JERREL JERNIGAN Jernigan ended his career as one of the most prolific players in Troy University history as he rewrote the record book. Jernigan made his mark in career receptions, receiving yards, yards per game and all-purpose yards. Jernigan also rewrote the Sun Belt Conference record book over his four years of competition. The senior was selected to participate in the Senior Bowl and NFL Combine, before being drafted in the third round by the New York Giants in the 2011 NFL Draft. “THE KICK” “The Kick,” as it is called, is used to describe true freshman 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 officials signaled the kick was good. AL LUCAS 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. 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. McKelvin finished his career with seven kickoff and punt returns for a touchdown, which was just one shy of an NCAA record. VIRGIL PARKS MCKINLEY Virgil Parks 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. He was inducted into the Troy University Sports Hall of Fame in the inaugural class in 2012.
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. MISSISSIPPI STATE GOES DOWN Playing just its fifth game as a Division I-A member, Troy stunned the nation as it went into Starkville, Miss., and knocked off Southeastern Conference foe Mississippi State 21-9. The Trojans jumped out to a 21-0 lead in the second quarter and held the Bulldogs to just 272 yards of total offense in the 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 Troy has played six overtime games in its history, standing 1-5 in those contests. The latest occurred in 2011 when the Trojans lost 23-20 at FIU in a nationally televised game on ESPN2. Previoulsy, Troy went to overtime in bowl games in two straight years. In the 2010 GMAC Bowl against Central Michigan and the 2008 R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl against Southern Miss. Troy came up on the short end both times as it fell in double overtime to CMU 44-41 and 30-27 to Southern Miss. Prior to that, the Trojans last overtime game came in 2005, as the Trojans fell 31-28 at Louisiana-Lafayette on October 29. The other games were a 13-10 win over former Southland Conference rival Sam Houston State on October 11, 1997, and a 19-16 home loss to Utah State on November 16, 2002. PRO BOWL The 2007 NFL Pro Bowl featured two former Troy Trojans in the starting lineup for the National Football Conference (NFC) in Osi Umeniyora and DeMarcus Ware. It marked the first time that two Trojans were starting in the prestigious postseason game for the National Football League. 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. During their five seasons in the SLC, 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 Six former Troy University Trojans have played in the Super Bowl. The first Trojan to make an appearnce was Virgil Seay for the Washington Redskins in Super Bowl XVII in 1983. The Redskins defeated Miami 27-17. Former offensive lineman Kerry Jenkins won Super Bowl XXXVII with the Tampa Bay Bucs in 2003, while former defensive end Osi Umenyiora and place kicker Lawrence Tynes won Super Bowl XLII (2008) with the New York Giants - defeating previously unbeaten New England in the process. Former defensive end Steve McLendon played in Super Bowl XLV with the Pittsburgh Steelers against the Green Bay Packers. Tynes, Umenyiora and former

Troy Glossary / All-Time Assistant Coach listing wide receiver Jerrel Jernigan teamed up on the 2012 New York Giants as they won Super Bowl XLVI 21-17 over the Patriots. 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. In 1925, the team began playing games on campus, on the site of what is now Shackleford Hall. Over the next 25 years, the Troy football team played its home games on the grounds where Smith Hall now stands and in a field that is now the outfield of Riddle-Pace Field. In 1950, Memorial Stadium opened for the first time. It began with a seating capacity of 5,000 but has grown to more than 30,000 today and is known as Veterans Memorial Stadium. T-ROY T-Roy, the Troy mascot and a fan favorite, has been a familiar sight at Troy athletic events since making his first appearance in the mid 1980s. T-Roy became the official school mascot after a campus-wide decision on the name for a new mascot. There was an election by the student body with “T-Roy” coming out on top. In the spring of 2008, T-Roy was voted the third best mascot in the nation. TROJANS - THE NICKNAME The Troy athletic teams have had a variety of names through the years - from Bulldogs to Teachers to Red Wave. As the football team began competition in the 1910s, the team was called Bulldogs or Teachers (since the school began as a teacher’s college). In 1922, the group was called Trojans for the first time. That lasted until Albert Elmore’s arrival on campus in 1931. A graduate of the University of Alabama, Elmore changed the nickname to Red Wave, a variation of Crimson Tide. The Red Wave moniker stuck until 1973, when the student body was again charged with voting for its new team nickname. The first game of the season in 1973 was on the road against Northeast Louisiana (now Louisiana-Monroe). The squad departed Troy without a nickname, but students voted on the nickname that Saturday morning. The winner? Trojans. The current nickname won the election by a 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.

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). DEMARCUS WARE DeMarcus Ware became the first-ever first round draft pick for the Troy Trojans, when he was selected in the 2006 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys. Ware was the 11th overall pick of the draft.
