TROJANS in the SUPER BOWL
Entering the second decade of the new millennium, the Sun Belt Conference continues to challenge itself, and its competitors, in all aspects of intercollegiate athletics. Not content with being simply the youngest football conference in the Football Bowl Subdivision, the conference has shown that it can rise each and every season that comes along. And since the birth of the league as a FBS member in 2001, the evidence is clear that the conference is indeed rising above competitors and peer conferences. At no time has league athletic success been more obvious than during the course of the last several football seasons. In recent years, Sun Belt members have participated in as many as six bowl games, a 50 percent increase in the league’s former high-water mark and only a decade removed from a “one-bowl league” moniker in its formative years. More importantly, Sun Belt teams didn’t just get to bowl games … they won them, again in record numbers. During the last two seasons the Sun Belt tied its record for wins in the postseason with four wins in both 2016 and 2017. The Sun Belt finished second in bowl winning percentage among all 10 FBS conferences in each of those years while also finishing fourth in 2015.

FOOTBALL JUST TROY, THANK YOU!
AP, NCAA, ABC, CBS, NBC, ESPN, AFCA and Troy Athletics Though the Troy Department of Intercollegiate Athletics is a proud and integral part of Troy University, it desires to be recognized simply as Troy Athletics. Ditto regarding references to its sports teams: Troy football, Troy baseball, Troy golf, etc. In all sports-related media references, we respectfully urge that the University’s teams be identified with an appropriate appellation - Troy. In subsequent references of the same presentation the team may be referred to by its nickname - Trojans. MEDIA PARKING Parking for the media will be located in the McKinley parking lot behind Trojan Arena. Shuttle services will be available at select times in select lots to assist in transportation to the stadium. Please notify the Troy Athletics Communications staff when requesting credentials if a parking pass will be required. MID-WEEK INTERVIEWS Interviews of Troy’s coaches and student-athletes are encouraged and every effort will be made to accommodate media requests. All interviews should be coordinated through the Athletics Communications Office. Players and coaches are available together each Monday during the season at a weekly press conference. Lunch will be served at 11:45 on the fifth floor of the Hawkins Stadium Tower, followed by the press conference at 12 p.m.
Credential requests must be made online at TroyTrojans.com/credentials; no credentials will be mailed via USPS within 10 days of the game.
Players are GENERALLY available immediately following practice during the season. Phone interviews are also available at night, but student-athlete phone numbers will not be made available under any circumstances.
Working members of the media who plan to cover the Trojans on the road are encouraged to make credential requests through the Troy University Athletics Communications office at least 10 days in advance of the scheduled contest.
Mid-week interviews are allowed from Monday until the conclusion of practice on Wednesday. After that time, players are off-limits until after that week’s game.
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. Websites sponsored by Rivals, Scout or 247Sports that produce original content on a consistent basis may be granted credentials. 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 Communications office until noon on the Friday prior to the game, and at the Media Will Call table inside the entrance of Veterans Memorial Stadium on gameday. MEDIA ACCESS All media members are asked to enter through the north entrance (new facility side) of the press box, then take the service elevator to the fifth floor press area.

TROY
FOOTBALL
Veterans Memorial Stadium has served as the home to Troy University’s football team since 1950 and the facility has undergone many renovations, including a current $24 million addition, to make it one of the premier facilities among its peers.
Veterans Memorial Stadium received a new playing surface prior to the 2012 season and a major audio and visual enhancement prior to the 2014 season. ProGrass, which is the same surface on Troy’s baseball field, was installed as the new field turf.
Troy University 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 1,250 square-foot high-definition video board was installed in the southeast corner of Veterans Memorial Stadium in the summer of 2014. Additionally, ribbon boards that span goal line to goal line on each side of the stadium were installed. The final piece of the upgrade included the addition of a state-of-the-art custom audio system.
Construction began on the project in July 2002 and was completed in time for the Trojans’ 2003 home opener against Southeastern Louisiana on September 20.
With the naming of Neal Brown as Troy’s new head coach came the upgrade to the football offices in the Tine Davis Fieldhouse. The entire football side of the building received a face lift and a new floor plan to better accommodate the players and coaches.
The stadium has seen tremendous growth and change during its 67-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 and 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. In 2011, the playing surface at Veterans Memorial Stadium was named in honor of Troy head coach Larry Blakeney for his dedication and success with the program; making the official name now - Larry Blakeney Field at Veterans Memorial Stadium.

NEAL BROWN TROY
FOOTBALL
Head Coach One of the top young minds in college football, Neal Brown has taken Troy football through a renaissance over the past three years.
Troy faced seven bowl teams in 2017 and posted a 6-1 mark in those games. Additionally, the Trojans played three conference or conference division champions – Boise State (Mountain West), Akron (MAC-East) and North Texas (C-USA West).
In three short seasons, Brown has led the Trojans to the nation’s eighth-most wins over the 2016 and 2017 seasons, a Sun Belt championship, two bowl victories, backto-back record-breaking win totals, the nation’s best turnaround, the first top-25 ranking in school and Sun Belt history, record-breaking attendance numbers, NCAA statistical leaders and much more.
Freshman Marcus Jones became just the second All-American in Troy’s FBS history after returning three kickoffs for touchdowns and ranking seventh nationally with 30.3 yards per return.
The sixth-youngest head coach in the Football Bowl Subdivision, Brown has transformed the culture of the Troy football program, which has led to wins on the field, in the classroom, in the community and on the recruiting path.
Troy finished the season as the nation’s leader in red zone defense allowing opponents points on just 61.36 percent of their opportunities inside the 20-yard line. Additionally, Troy finished second nationally in kickoff returns and became just the sixth team in the last eight years to not allow a play from scrimmage of more than 50 yards the entire season.
The wins have been plentiful for Brown’s Trojans with 22 victories over a 27-game period dating back to the end of his first season in 2015. Troy set the school’s FBS record for wins in back-to-back seasons as the Trojans won 10 games in 2016 and then followed with 11 victories in 2017, including the upset of the season in college football as Troy knocked off No. 22 LSU in Death Valley. Troy’s 24-21 victory over LSU snapped the Tigers’ 49-game non-conference home winning streak. Troy led 24-7 midway through the fourth quarter and became the first non-conference opponent to hold LSU scoreless in the opening half at home since 2009. The Trojans ended the 2017 season with seven straight wins – the nation’s fourthlongest winning streak heading into 2018 – thanks to an explosive offense and one of the nation’s top defenses. Troy outscored its opponents by a 22-point per-game margin (40.3 – 18.3) during its winning streak and finished the season with the 27th most votes in the final Amway Coaches Poll – the highest final ranking ever by a team in Sun Belt Conference history. Brown raised a trophy following Troy’s final two victories of the 2017 season as the Trojans won their record sixth Sun Belt Conference championship with a thrilling victory at Arkansas State in the final game of the regular season. Two weeks later, Troy set a R&L Carriers New Orleans Bowl record for scoring in a 50-30 victory over C-USA Western Division champion North Texas.
@TROYTROJANSFB | TROYTROJANS.COM
Record crowds have packed Veterans Memorial Stadium each of the last two seasons as The Vet has become one of the most hostile home-field advantages in the country. In 2017, Troy averaged a record 24,456 fans per game, which equaled 81.52 percent capacity, despite playing in a town of just 19,000 people. The capacity percentage ranked among the top 60 nationally and was fifth among Group of Five schools (min. 30,000 capacity). The 2017 attendance mark broke the record set in 2016 of 135,203 overall fans and 22,534 fans per game. In the classroom, the football program has improved its grade-point-average each semester under Brown’s leadership, Troy’s graduation rate has increased each year and Seth Calloway was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District Team during the 2017 season. Brown’s first three recruiting classes have paralleled Troy’s success on the field. His first class rated as the second best in the Sun Belt Conference by both 247Sports and Scout, while his second recruiting class was once again rated as the second best in the Sun Belt Conference by 247Sports, while Rivals ranked it as its top class by average signee rating. Troy’s third signing class under Brown was the highest-rated in school history not including a pair of 4-star transfers. Brown’s second season at Troy saw the Trojans improve their win total by six games from four to 10, a number which was tied for the best turnaround in the country – only Troy and Colorado posted a six-win improvement and won at least 10 games in 2016.

Additionally, Troy became the first Sun Belt Conference school to ever open a season with eight victories in its first nine games and coincidentally became the first school from the Sun Belt to appear in either major top 25 poll – Troy was ranked 25th on Nov. 13, 2016, by the Associated Press. Troy finished the 2016 season 10-3 overall with non-conference victories over Southern Miss and UMass following a narrow 6-point, 30-24, loss at eventual national champion Clemson. Troy defeated Ohio 28-23 in the Dollar General Bowl that was watched by over 2.5 million viewers on ESPN, the highest rated bowl game between two Group of Five programs. Behind All-Sun Belt left tackle Antonio Garcia, the Trojans led the country with just eight sacks allowed and 0.62 sacks allowed per game. Joining Garcia on the All-Sun Belt First Team were five other players in six different spots – Troy’s eight first team selections led the league. Garcia was selected with the 85th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots; he became the highest selected offensive lineman in Sun Belt Conference history. Playing under the mantra of “Rebuild the Wall”, Troy finished Brown’s first season as one of the most improved defensive teams in the country, while posting improved numbers across the board. The Trojans finished the 2015 season with the second-best turnaround nationally in opponent 3rd-down percentage (14.62 percent), the fourth-best turnaround in yards per play allowed (-1.13), the fifth-best improvement in tackles for loss per game (2.59) and 16th-best improvement in total defense (-62.7). Troy scored five defensive touchdowns, the third most in the country and most by a Troy team since 2004, and finished fifth in the country with 13 fumble recoveries. The Trojans forced 16 turnovers over the final six games of the season after forcing just three in the first six games. Offensively, Troy improved per-game averages in scoring (6.1) and passing yards (42.0), in passing touchdowns (9), total offensive touchdowns (5), penalty yards per game (-2.2), sacks allowed (-5), red zone scoring (8 percent), first quarter scoring (57) and third quarter scoring (34).

The Trojans ranked 38th in the nation with just 18 sacks allowed after ranking 111th the previous season, while Brandon Burks became the school’s seventh player to rush for over 1,000 yards in a season. Brown’s Trojans began to click offensively as the season progressed as they averaged 36.0 points over the final six games of the season with three 40-point games. Troy scored 144 points over a three-game stretch against New Mexico State, Appalachian State and ULM -- the most in a three-game period by a Troy squad since 1993. Attendance also improved during Brown’s initial campaign with the Trojans as the per-game average increased by over 2,600 fans. Brown led the Trojans to a 4-8 overall record and a 3-5 Sun Belt Conference mark during his first season. However, four of Troy’s five Sun Belt setbacks were by a combined 22 points, while the Trojans’ three league victories came by an average of 35.3 points. Brown, 38, was named Troy’s 21st head coach on December 1, 2014, and was the second-youngest head coach in the FBS during his inaugural season. A native of Danville, Ky., Brown spent four seasons at Troy as an assistant coach (2006-09), including the final two as the Trojans’ offensive coordinator. Troy won four Sun Belt Conference titles and appeared in three bowl games during Brown’s initial tenure. At the time the youngest offensive coordinator in the FBS, Brown’s 2009 offense finished third in the nation in total offense at 485.7 yards per game, fourth in passing at 336.5 yards per game and 16th in scoring with 33.7 points per contest. In 2008, his first season as coordinator, Brown’s fast-paced offense set 10 school records. In addition to the team accomplishments, Brown guided quarterback Levi Brown to the Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year award in 2009 and SBC Newcomer of the Year in 2008. Prior to returning to Troy, Brown spent the previous two seasons as the offensive coordinator under Mark Stoops at Kentucky and led the Wildcats to some new heights on the offensive side of the football. The Wildcats posted over 440 yards of total offense in three Southeastern Conference games in 2014, its highest total since 2001.

In his first season, Kentucky’s offense averaged three more points and 26 more yards of total offense per game than the prior year and the totals grew even more in year two. Before Brown left Kentucky, he had the Wildcats averaging 11.3 points and 69.3 yards of total offense more per game than before he arrived on campus. The 11.3 points per game increase was the fourth highest in the country over the same time period. The Wildcats totaled 380 yards or more of total offense in their first three SEC games in 2014 – Florida, Arkansas and South Carolina – marking the first time a UK team had done so since 1998. Kentucky scored 21 offensive touchdowns in SEC play in 2014. The two years prior to Brown being named offensive coordinator, Kentucky had a combined 21 offensive touchdowns in SEC play. Brown left Troy to join Tommy Tuberville’s staff at Texas Tech in 2010 and picked up right where he left off at Troy. With Brown serving as Texas Tech’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, the Red Raiders ranked in the nation’s top-seven teams in passing offense, top-15 in total offense and top-25 in scoring offense, having increased production in all three categories each year since 2010. TTU finished the 2012 season second nationally in passing with 355.9 yards per game, 13th in total offense at 495.4 yards per game and 20th in scoring with 37.5 points per game. The 2012 campaign was an expansion of the success from 2011, when Texas Tech ranked 13th nationally in total offense at 470.6 yards per game. The Red Raiders lit the scoreboard at a tune of 33.8 points per contest. Individually, quarterback Seth Doege put up eye-popping numbers. In 2011, Doege threw for 4,004 yards and 28 touchdowns. He improved to 4,205 yards and 39 touchdowns as a senior. In his first season in Lubbock, Brown’s offense notched 460.2 yards of total offense per game, 318.9 passing, and scored at a 33.1-point clip as Tech went 8-5 and won the TicketCity Bowl. Brown’s running game has made significant contributions to the attack as well. The Red Raiders rushed for 135.7 yards per game and scored 52 rushing touchdowns during his three seasons. TTU’s primary running backs averaged 5.0 yards per rushing attempt, including a 5.8 average by Kenny Williams, the leading rusher in 2012. Prior to his first stint at Troy, Brown served one season as wide receivers coach at the University of Delaware, starting three freshman wideouts as the Blue Hens posted a 6-5 record. In 2004, Brown coached the quarterbacks and wide receivers at Sacred Heart, helping guide the school to a 6-4 record and the top-ranked scoring offense in the conference. In 2003, he was the tight ends coach and offensive line assistant at Massachusetts, helping the Minutemen win a share of the Atlantic-10 championship and a berth in the FCS playoffs. Brown earned his bachelor’s degree in business management and his master’s in business administration from Massachusetts, where he played the 2001-02 seasons. He totaled 58 receptions for 721 yards and four touchdowns while being named to the Atlantic-10 All-Academic Team and the NCAA Division I-AA Athletic Directors’ Academic All-Star Team. Born in Louisville, Brown grew up in Bardstown, Ky., before moving to Danville, Ky., where he was an all-state wide receiver at Boyle County High School, finishing his career as the No. 2 pass catcher in state history. He played at Kentucky from 19982000 and was a two-year letterman, catching 10 passes, including one touchdown. He was a member of the Outback Bowl and Music City Bowl teams and earned a place on the SEC Academic Honor Roll before transferring to Massachusetts. He and his wife, Brooke, have two daughters Adalyn and Anslee, and one son, Dax.

@BBlackmonTROY
Brian Blackmon, one of the most successful and respected high school coaches in the state of Alabama, begins his first season on the Troy football staff coaching the Trojan tight ends and S-Backs. He joins the Troy staff following one season as an offensive analyst at Auburn after a 21-year career at Opelika High School. In his lone season on The Plains, Auburn’s offense ranked in the top 30 nationally in total offense, rushing, pass efficiency and scoring as the Tigers won the SEC Western Division and played in the SEC Championship Game. Running back Kerryon Johnson was named the SEC Offensive Player of the Year and Auburn finished the season with a Peach Bowl appearance after knocking off a pair of No. 1 teams – Georgia & Alabama – over the season’s final three weeks. Among the coaches who have also held the offensive analyst position with the Tigers are Auburn offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey, Georgia running back coach Dell McGee and South Carolina running backs coach Bobby Bentley. Blackmon served as the head coach of the Opelika football program in his final eight seasons (2009-16) at the school, while also serving as the athletics director during the same time period before leaving for Auburn in February 2017. Opelika advanced to a pair of Alabama 6A state championship games (2012 & 2016) and the Bulldogs compiled a 69-25 record during Blackmon’s tenure. He was honored as the 6A Coach of the Year in 2012 by the Alabama Sports Writers Association, the Alabama Football Coaches Association, the Opelika-Auburn News, Columbus SportsVision and AL.com. The Bulldogs won three consecutive region championships and advanced to the playoffs in seven of his eight seasons as head coach. Blackmon left Opelika as the third-winningest coach in the then 99-year history of the high school. He has served as president of the Alabama High School Athletic Directors and Coaches Association and on the advisory, Hall of Fame, reclassification and all-star selection committees of the Alabama High School Athletic Association. Additionally, he served on the high school task force of USA Football and as a district board member of the Alabama Football Coaches Association. Blackmon spent his first 13 years at Opelika as the offensive coordinator under legendary head coach Spence McCracken; he also served as assistant athletics director from 2001-08 and coached the soccer, wrestling and golf teams during his career at Opelika. He was named the Alabama Assistant Coach of the Year following the 2004 season and was a consistent figure on the coaching staffs of the Alabama-Mississippi and North-South allstar games. A graduate of Robert E. Lee High in Montgomery, where he was part of the 1991 state champion football team and was inducted into the school’s hall of fame in 2017, Blackmon played one season at North Alabama before transferring to Troy to complete his studies. Blackmon earned his bachelor’s degree in accounting from Troy in 1996 and a master’s degree in business education from Auburn in 1998. He and his wife Kellie have two children, Cade and Carlyle.

@CoachDawkins1
Former Troy running back Sean Dawkins returns to Troy for his first season coaching at his alma mater; he will coach the Troy running backs. Dawkins helped lead Troy to a pair of Sun Belt Conference titles and two bowl appearances during his playing career with the Trojans from 2003-07. Dawkins joined the Troy staff after helping lead one of the best turnarounds in all of college football in 2017 at Austin Peay. The Govs finished the season 8-4 overall with three of those losses coming to FBS teams and the other to Jacksonville State, the No. 3 seed in the FCS Playoffs. Austin Peay entered the 2017 season having won just one of its last 46 games dating back to the 2013 campaign. Austin Peay featured the nation’s sixth-ranked rushing attack at the FCS level under Dawkins as the Govs averaged 258.8 yards per game and tallied 32 rushing touchdowns in 12 games. The Govs featured a balanced ground game with two players averaging more than 58 yards per game. Prior to his one-year stint at Austin Peay, Dawkins coached six seasons at Murray State (2010-13, 15-16) with a one-year stop at Chattanooga in 2014 breaking up his tenure with the Racers. Dawkins added co-run game coordinator to his title at Murray State in advance of the 2016 season. Among his protégées at Murray State were Roman Clay (second team All-OVC in 2015), Mike Harris (10th 1,000-yard rusher in school history in 2011, back-to-back first team All-OVC honors) and Jamaal Berry (averaged 7.0 yards per carry en route to all-newcomer honors in 2012). With the Mocs in 2014, Dawkins was part of a coaching staff that oversaw a No. 8 final ranking and advanced to the quarterfinals of the FCS playoffs. The Mocs tallied 2,951 yards on the ground and featured a pair of 1,000-yard rushers in Keon Williams and Jacob Huesman.
Prior to his arrival at Murray State, Dawkins served as running backs coach at West Texas A&M in 2009, helping the Buffs to a fifth-straight winning season and Keithon Flemming to All-Lone Star Conference honors. He began his coaching career at Huntingdon College, tutoring Jamal Gardner to a 1,000-yard rushing campaign. As a player, Dawkins helped lead Troy to the first two (2006 & 2007) of what would be five straight Sun Belt titles. Dawkins was a member of Troy’s first two bowl teams as well – 2004 Silicon Valley Classic and 2006 New Orleans Bowl. He graduated from Troy in 2007 with a degree in social science.

Jacksonville State’s defense ranked in the top 20 nationally in each of Hall’s four seasons, including a pair of top-five units his last two seasons with the program. In 2017, Jacksonville State finished second nationally allowing just 239.6 yards per game and first allowing 3.84 yards per play, while in 2016 Jacksonville State ranked fourth nationally allowing 274.9 yards per game.

Additionally, Jackson was twice named the Ohio Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Year. Additionally, safety Marlon Bridges flourished under Hall’s coaching. The 2016 OVC Freshman of the Year, Bridges has a pair of All-America honors on his resume just two years into his collegiate career. Hall, who served as the safeties coach under Gus Malzahn at Arkansas State in 2012, followed Malzahn to Auburn as a defensive assistant in 2013 and helped the Tigers advance to the FBS National Championship game against Florida State. While at Arkansas State in 2012, the Red Wolves won the Sun Belt Conference Championship for the second straight year, including winning the final eight games of the season.

@Hardmon_Coach
Byron ‘Bam’ Hardmon, an All-SEC linebacker and three-year NFL veteran, begins his fourth season at Troy and first as inside linebackers coach. Hardmon coached Troy’s defensive line his first three seasons and the Trojans continually turned out one of the top defensive fronts in the Sun Belt. In 2017, Troy finished fourth nationally with a school record 112 tackles for loss (third with 8.62 per game), while also finishing seventh with 3.23 sacks per game. Former walk-on Hunter Reese would go on to earn First Team AllSun Belt honors. Troy led the nation in red zone defense in 2017 as the Trojans set a school record for wins (FBS), won the Sun Belt Championship and ended LSU’s 49game non-conference home winning streak. Additionally, Troy became just the sixth team in the previous eight seasons to not allow a play of 50 or more yards over the course of a season. The Trojans established a new school record as they held eight opponents under the 100-yard rushing mark. Troy finished the season having allowed just 18.5 points, 105.3 rushing yards and 336.5 total yards per game. Troy’s defensive line continued its upward trend in Hardmon’s second season as the Trojans finished third in the Sun Belt in sacks and second in tackles for loss. Defensive end Rashad Dillard was named the Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Year in 2016; Troy’s first player to win the award since DeMarcus Ware in 2004. Troy finished the 2016 season 10-3 with a victory in the Dollar General Bowl, the first top-25 ranking in school and Sun Belt Conference history and the best win-improvement in the country. In his first season, Hardmon helped transform the Troy defense into one of the top units in the Sun Belt Conference and the country. The Trojans finished the 2015 season with the second-best turnaround nationally in opponent 3rd-down percentage, the fourth-best turnaround in yards per play allowed, the fifth-best improvement in tackles for loss per game and 16th-best improvement in total defense. Bandit Tyler Roberts earned first team All-Sun Belt honors and finished sixth nationally with 1.55 tackles for loss per game, while ranking 41st nationally with 0.64 sacks per game. Hardmon joined the Troy staff after two seasons as the defensive line coach at Idaho. While with the Vandals, Hardmon helped transform defensive tackle Quayshawne Buckley into a force behind the line of scrimmage. The native of Jacksonville, Fla., was a four-year letterwinner as a linebacker at Florida and was the team’s captain in 2002 as a senior. During that season, Hardmon was named second team All-SEC and helped lead the Gators to the Outback Bowl. Hardmon not only excelled on the field but also off it as well. He was a threetime Academic All-SEC honoree and won the Betty Capaldi GPA Award. He ranked second in the SEC and fourth in the nation in tackles and set a Florida single-season tackle record. Hardmon also won Florida’s coveted Ferguson
Leadership award in 2002. Hardmon spent the 2003-06 seasons on three NFL rosters: the Miami Dolphins (2003), the Seattle Seahawks (2004) and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2005). He also played three seasons in NFL Europe, winning a World Bowl title in 2007 with Hamburg. Hardmon returned to football in 2009 after two years in the private business sector. He worked as the co-owner of S & S Trucking in Jacksonville, Fla., while also establishing a very successful real estate career. He spent three seasons (2009-11) as a graduate assistant at Illinois, including the final two years under Vic Koenning, who is Troy’s defensive coordinator. In 2011, Hardmon helped tutor a defensive line that broke the school record with 41 sacks and ranked fourth nationally in tackles for loss and sixth nationally in sacks. Defensive end Whitney Mercilus had a breakout year, earning consensus first team All-America honors after leading the nation in sacks and forced fumbles. Mercilus was drafted in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft by the Houston Texans. Hardmon helped guide a budding star in 2010 in defensive tackle Corey Liuget, who was a first-round pick of the San Diego Chargers in the 2011 NFL Draft. Liuget and Akeem Spence combined for 108 tackles, the most by a pair of Illini defensive tackles since 1993, and Phil Steele and Rivals.com named Spence a Freshman All-American. Prior to his stint at Idaho, Hardmon served as the special teams coordinator and outside linebackers coach at Charleston Southern. Hardmon graduated from the University of Florida in 2003 with a degree in sociology and earned his master’s degree in organizational leadership from the University of Illinois in 2011. He is married to the former Danerica Wright and the couple has one son, Bryson.

@CoachVic_Troy
The architect of the some of the nation’s best defenses over the past decade, Vic Koenning returns for his sixth overall season with the Trojans and fourth during his current stint. Koenning previously served as Troy’s defensive coordinator from 2003-04. His first season back at Troy produced one of the top defensive turnarounds in the country and his second flat out one of the top defenses in the country. The Koenning-led defense finished the 2016 season second nationally in passes intercepted, fourth in turnovers forced, 17th in rushing defense, 21st holding opponents to 22.1 points per game and 28th in third-down defense. Defensive end Rashad Dillard was named the Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Year in 2016; Troy’s first player to win the award since DeMarcus Ware in 2004. Troy finished the 2016 season 10-3 with a victory in the Dollar General Bowl, the first top-25 ranking in school and Sun Belt Conference history and the best win-improvement in the country. The Trojans finished the 2015 season with the second-best turnaround nationally in opponent 3rd-down percentage (14.62 percent), the fourth-best turnaround in yards per play allowed (-1.13), the fifth-best improvement in tackles for loss per game (2.59) and 16th-best improvement in total defense (-62.7). Troy held opponents to 391.2 yards per game, an improved of 62.8 yards from the previous season and the first time under 400 yards since the 2008 season. Troy scored five defensive touchdowns, the third most in the country and most by a Troy team since 2004. Bandit Tyler Roberts earned first team All-Sun Belt honors and finished sixth nationally with 1.55 tackles for loss per game. In 2017, Troy finished fourth nationally with a school record 112 tackles for loss (third with 8.62 per game), while also finishing seventh with 3.23 sacks per game. Former walk-on Hunter Reese would go on to earn First Team All-Sun Belt honors. Troy led the nation in red zone defense in 2017 as the Trojans set a school record for wins (FBS), won the Sun Belt Championship and ended LSU’s 49-game non-conference home winning streak. He was named a Broyles Award nominee for the seventh time in his career. Additionally, Troy became just the sixth team in the previous eight seasons to not allow a play of 50 or more yards over the course of a season. The Trojans established a new school record as they held eight opponents under the 100-yard rushing mark. Troy finished the season having allowed just 18.5 points, 105.3 rushing yards and 336.5 total yards per game. Koenning returned to Troy after spending three seasons as the assistant head coach for defense at North Carolina. The 28year coaching veteran also coached safeties and inside linebackers during his tenure in Chapel Hill. Following a dominating run at Troy that led to the school’s first bowl appearance, Koenning produced four top-16 defenses at Clemson from 2005 to 2008 and orchestrated a pair of extreme turnarounds at Kansas State and Illinois. While at Clemson, he accomplished something no other Tiger defensive coordinator had achieved in the school’s history as each of his four defenses finished in the top 25 in scoring, total defense and pass efficiency defense. Troy’s Koenning-led defense finished the 2004 season ranked sixth nationally in pass efficiency (100.6), eighth in rushing (100.9), 10th in scoring (16.7) and 16th in total defense (311.0). In the second game of the year, the Trojans defeated No. 19 Missouri as Koenning’s defense pitched a shutout over the game’s final 52 minutes. He left Troy in 2005 to become the defensive coordinator at Clemson and had immediate success as the Tigers finished 11th in the nation in scoring defense (17.6) in his first season. Koenning developed several Clemson players who went on to play in the NFL. In 2006, cornerback Tye Hill was a first round pick, while defensive end Gaines Adams was the No. 4 overall selection in 2007. Defensive end Phillip Merling was the No. 32 overall selection of the 2008 draft by Miami. The 2007 defensive performance might have been the best of his tenure at Clemson. The Tigers had just one player make first or second team All-ACC despite leading the ACC in pass defense and turnover margin, and finishing second in total and scoring defense. Clemson was ninth in the nation in total defense (307.0) and 10th in scoring defense (18.7). In 2008, Clemson’s defense led the ACC in scoring defense and ranked ninth in the nation by allowing just 16.6 points per game. Koenning left Clemson and spent one season at Kansas State under Bill Snyder and two seasons at Illinois under Ron Zook. He improved the Illini defense from 91st in the country to seventh in his two seasons. Illinois ranked fourth in the nation in pass defense, fifth in tackles for loss and ninth in sacks. Illinois defensive end Whitney Mercilus led the nation in sacks and was second in tackles for loss. Koenning led Illinois to a 2011 win over UCLA in the Kraft Fight
Hunger Bowl as the team’s interim head coach. He helped Kansas State improve from 112th in the NCAA in rushing defense in 2008 to 16th in 2009, total defense from 117th to 40th and scoring defense from 110th to 48th. In 2012, North Carolina finished third in the nation in tackles for loss with more than eight per game. Prior to his first stint at Troy, Koenning was the head coach at Wyoming from 2000-02 after three years as defensive coordinator. In 1997, Wyoming led the nation in interceptions and was second in sacks. Koenning served as a full-time assistant coach working with the defensive backs at Memphis from 1991-96 His final year at Memphis was highlighted by a 21-17 upset of No. 6 Tennessee. A three-year starter, team captain and 1983 graduate at Kansas State, Koenning was the recipient of the Paul Coffman Award, presented to the Wildcat who displays the most outstanding leadership. Koenning and his wife Tracey have four children, Kimberly, Brady, Camden and Jackson.

Former Trojan standout Jordan Lesley begins his third season as an assistant coach at Troy following three seasons as the defensive coordinator at East Mississippi Community College. In his first season on staff, Troy’s defense finished the 2016 season second nationally in passes intercepted, fourth in turnovers forced, 17th in rushing defense, 21st holding opponents to 22.1 points per game (20.5 allowed by the defense) and 28th in third-down defense. Defensive end Rashad Dillard was named the Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Year in 2016; Troy’s first player to win the award since DeMarcus Ware in 2004. Troy finished the 2016 season 10-3 with a victory in the Dollar General Bowl, the first top-25 ranking in school and Sun Belt Conference history and the best win-improvement in the country. In 2017, Troy finished fourth nationally with a school record 112 tackles for loss (third with 8.62 per game), while also finishing seventh with 3.23 sacks per game. Troy led the nation in red zone defense in 2017 as the Trojans set a school record for wins (FBS), won the Sun Belt Championship and ended LSU’s 49-game non-conference home winning streak. Additionally, Troy became just the sixth team in the previous eight seasons to not allow a play of 50 or more yards over the course of a season. Troy established a new school record as they held eight opponents under the 100-yard rushing mark. Troy finished the season having allowed just 18.5 points, 105.3 rushing yards and 336.5 total yards per game. To say that Lesley’s defenses at East Mississippi were dominant would be an understatement as the Lions won a pair of NJCAA National Championships during his tenure and twice held opponents to under 10 points per game over the course of a season. Over his three years as defensive coordinator, East Mississippi allowed an average of just 10.3 points and 232.1 yards per game as the Lions posted a combined 32-1 record with national titles in 2013 and 2014. Additionally, the Lions tallied 149 quarterback sacks and 57 interceptions in his three seasons. In his first season at East Mississippi, the Lions recorded an NJCAA-best 67 sacks and finished second nationally with 30 interceptions and by allowing just 9.8 points per game. The 2013 squad held opponents to just 144.3 passing yards and 74.2 rushing yards per game, while scoring eight touchdowns as a defensive unit. In 2014, East Mississippi’s defensive unit topped the NJCAA by allowing an average of only 7.6 points per game and ranked third with 58 sacks and 21 interceptions. The Lions posted five shutouts for the second consecutive year and went the entire nine-game regular season without allowing a rushing touchdown. East Mississippi held opponents to just 58.5 rushing yards and 139.6 passing yards, while scoring 10 defensive touchdowns. Even more impressive, the Lions recorded 133 tackles for loss (11.1 per game), 58 sacks (4.8 per game), 21 interceptions (1.8 per game), and 14 forced fumbles. The top three tacklers from that team – William Lloyd, Justin Lucas and Demetrius Cain – signed with Troy prior to the 2015 season and all played key roles in the Trojans impressive defensive turnaround in their first season with the
Trojans. In his final season at East Mississippi, the Lions held opponents to just 295.6 yards and 14.8 points per game. In nine games, East Mississippi allowed just five rushing touchdowns and recorded 24 sacks. Heading into the 2016 National Signing Day, 25 East Mississippi defensive players under Lesley signed National Letters of Intent with four-year schools including Lorenzo Phillips (Florida State), Jarran Reed (Alabama), D.J. Pettway (Alabama), D.J. Jones (Ole Miss) and Christian Russell (Ole Miss). Lesley joined the East Mississippi staff after six seasons at a pair of nationally prominent junior colleges. He spent the 2010 and 2012 seasons as the defensive line coach at Northwest Mississippi Community College around a pair of stints at Kilgore College, where he was the defensive coordinator in 2011 and the linebackers coach from 2007-09. The 2012 NWCC squad claimed the school’s first bowl victory in 20 years and earned a No. 9 NJCAA final ranking. The 2010 Northwest team posted an undefeated regular season on the way to finishing with a No. 6 national ranking. Lesley helped lead Kilgore to the 2007 Southwest Junior College Football Conference Championship en route to an appearance in the Heart of Texas Bowl. During his four seasons at Kilgore, Lesley helped direct the Rangers to three consecutive playoff appearances while helping tutor 11 players that went on to sign at four-year schools, including six NJCAA All-Americans. He began his coaching career at Troy as a graduate assistant on the 2006 Sun Belt Conference championship team. The Trojans won seven of their last eight games that season, including a 4117 victory over Rice in the New Orleans Bowl. Lesley was a versatile player for the Trojans and was a key part of teams that successfully made the transition to the FBS ranks. A two-year starter at tight end, Lesley helped lead Troy to the 2004 Silicon Valley Bowl and was named a team captain. A native of Fulton, Miss., Lesley was a three-time all-district performer at Itawamba Agricultural High School. He was selected to the 1999 Class 4A All-State Second Team as a senior. Lesley is married to the former Ann Katherine Riddle of Madisonville, Ky., and the couple has one daughter, Mary Kate.

@Moore1972Matt
Matt Moore begins his fifth overall seasn at Troy and fourth in his current stint with the Trojans. He was promoted to offensive coordinator prior to the 2018 season as serving as the co-offensive coordinator the previous three years. Moore previously coached Troy’s offensive line for one season in 2006. Troy’s offensive line has been a juggernaut during Moore’s second stint with the Trojans. Troy led the country with just eight sacks allowed during the 2016 season after ranking 38th in his first season. The Trojans finished the 2017 campaign ranked sixth in offensive line efficiency and 12th in fewest sacks allowed; Troy ranked 111th nationally in sacks allowed in the year prior to his arrival. Additionally, two running backs -- Brandon Burks & Jordan Chunn -- have topped the 1,000-yard mark in his first three seasons back on staff; Troy had just seven in the history of the program prior. Chunn rushed for 26 touchdowns in his final two seasons an became Troy’s all-time leader in rushing touchdowns and total touchdowns scored with 47 over his career. Troy finished the 2016 season 10-3 with a victory in the Dollar General Bowl, the first top-25 ranking in school and Sun Belt Conference history and the best win-improvement in the country. The Trojans led the Sun Belt in scoring offense and ranked second in passing and total offense. Moore was recognized for his accomplishments as he was a nominee for the Frank Broyles Award in 2016, which is presented annually to the nation’s top assistant coach. Left tackle Antonio Garcia was selected with the 85th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots; he became the highest selected offensive lineman in Sun Belt Conference history. Additionally, four of his offensive linemen were named to the All-Sun Belt Team following the 2017 season. In 2017, Troy set a school FBS record for wins as the Trojans finished the season 11-2 with a Sun Belt championship, New Orleans Bowl title and a victory at No. 22 LSU. Moore returned to Troy after spending the previous two seasons as the assistant head coach and offensive line coach at Louisiana Tech. Neal Brown and Moore teamed up in 2010 and 2011 at Texas Tech to produce one of the nation’s top offenses. In 2010, Texas Tech finished seventh in passing (318.9), 15th in total offense (460.2) and 23rd in scoring (33.1). The following year the Red Raiders ranked seventh in passing (345.4), 13th in total offense (470.6) and 22nd in scoring (33.8). In 2014, Moore helped lead a drastic improvement at Louisiana Tech during the staff’s second year on the job. The Bulldogs won the Conference USA West Division and earned a trip to the Heart of Dallas Bowl after finishing 4-8 the previous season. Moore went to Louisiana Tech after spending a year at Middle Tennessee. The Blue Raider offensive line finished the season second in the nation in fewest sacks allowed while Middle Tennessee was 46th nationally in rushing with three different 100-yard rushers. Middle Tennessee topped the 200-yard rushing mark in five of the team’s 12 games. A veteran of the high school and collegiate coaching ranks, Moore joined the Blue Raider staff after spending five seasons as offensive line coach at Texas Tech, including two years when Brown was the offensive coordinator. Moore’s offensive lines at Texas Tech led the country in fewest sacks per pass attempt in 2007 and 2008. The Red Raiders allowed a sack once every 54 pass attempts in 2008 behind an offensive line that featured three All-Americans in Rylan Reed, Brandon Carter and Louis Vasquez. His 2007 unit allowed a sack once every 44 attempts. Texas Tech won the NCAA passing title in 2007 as the Red Raiders averaged 470.3 yards per game through the air, while quarterback Graham Harrell led the nation in passing. Behind Moore’s offensive line, Texas Tech finished with 28 rushing touchdowns in 2008, which was the second-most in school history and the Red Raiders picked up another NCAA passing title. Texas Tech averaged over eight wins per season during Moore’s tenure and the Red Raiders played in four bowl games. Texas Tech won three of those bowl games – the 2008 Gator Bowl, 2010 Alamo Bowl and the 2011 TicketCity Bowl. Moore went to Texas Tech with one year of collegiate coaching experience at Troy in 2006. He helped lead the Trojans to an 8-5 record and a New Orleans Bowl victory over Rice. Moore’s stint on the collegiate level was preceded by successful runs as a coach at the high school level in Georgia and Alabama. During six seasons as offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at Hoover (Ala.) High School, Moore helped lead the Buccaneers to three consecutive Class 6A titles and a 77-7 record. He began his coaching career at Pickens (Ga.) High School in 1996 and spent two seasons there before moving on to Hoover. Moore served as head coach at North Gwinnett (Ga.) High School before joining the staff at Troy. A native of Canton, Ga., Moore played at Valdosta State. He started 34 games during the 199194 seasons at left guard and was a first team All-Gulf South Conference selection as a senior. Moore received his bachelor’s degree from Valdosta State in health and physical education.

Longtime Alabama coaching veteran Al Pogue begins his fifth season coaching the Troy cornerbacks. Pogue has spent his entire 20-year career working in the state of Alabama, including three years at Auburn prior to joining the Troy staff. Pogue has built Troy’s secondary into one of the top units in the country and one of the most improved over his five-year run. The Trojans have intercepted 39 passes over the past three seasons (2015-17), which ranks as the third most in the country in that time. Under Pogue’s guidance, former walk-on wide receiver Blace Brown ranked fifth nationally in interceptions per game in 2016 and 12th in 2017; he enters the 2018 season second among active players with 11 career interceptions. Troy led the nation in red zone defense in 2017 as the Trojans set a school record for wins (FBS), won the Sun Belt Championship and ended LSU’s 49-game non-conference home winning streak. Additionally, Troy became just the sixth team in the previous eight seasons to not allow a play of 50 or more yards over the course of a season. Troy established a new school record as they held eight opponents under the 100yard rushing mark. Troy finished the season having allowed just 18.5 points, 105.3 rushing yards and 336.5 total yards per game. The Trojans finished the 2016 season second nationally in passes intercepted, fourth in turnovers forced, 17th in rushing defense, 21st in scoring defense holding opponents to 22.1 points per game and 28th in third-down defense. The Trojans also finished the season ninth nationally with 5.85 passes defended per game. Troy posted a 10-3 record in 2016 with a victory in the Dollar General Bowl, the first top-25 ranking in school and Sun Belt Conference history and the best win-improvement in the country. The Troy secondary has been among the best in the country during his four seasons coaching the cornerbacks. The Trojans ranked 16th nationally against the pass in 2016, 29th in 2015 and 36th in 2014; the season prior to Pogue’s arrival Troy ranked 123rd nationally. The Trojans improved their pass defense by 113.6 yards per game from the season before his arrival. Overall, Troy’s defense finished the 2015 season with the second-best turnaround nationally in opponent 3rd-down percentage, the fourth-best turnaround in yards per play allowed, the fifth-best improvement in tackles for loss per game and 16th-best improvement in total defense. Troy scored five defensive touchdowns, the third most in the country and most by a Troy team since 2004, and finished fifth in the country with 13 fumble recoveries.

Prior to arriving at Auburn, Pogue spent 13 years as a high school coach in the state of Alabama. At Auburn in 2011, Pogue served as an offensive quality control assistant under Gus Malzahn, who was the offensive coordinator at the time.

@CoachSeanReagan
Quarterbacks and Troy University go hand-in-hand and Sean Reagan has had a huge part in the success of Troy’s signal callers for nine years, including the last seven as the quarterback coach. He was promoted to co-offensive coordinator prior to the 2018 season. Reagan has worked with three record-setting quarterbacks during his tenure at Troy in Levi Brown, Brandon Silvers and Corey Robinson. Under his guidance, Robinson turned in one of the most impressive collegiate careers in NCAA, Sun Belt Conference and Troy history. Robinson left Troy with the school and league records in touchdown passes, attempts, completions and yards in addition to the career record for total offense. Robinson is one of five players in NCAA history to throw for over 3,000 yards and accumulate over 3,000 yards of total offense in four separate seasons and he finished his career ninth in FBS history in passing yards. Robinson set the NCAA record for completion percentage in a game (30 attempts) with a 30-for-32 performance against UAB in 2013 for which he was named the Capital One Player of the Week. In 2014, Brandon Silvers etched his name in the NCAA record book for the highest completion percentage by a freshman in NCAA history. Silvers completed 70.5 percent of his passes to break former Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford’s mark of 69.5 percent. Silvers was named to the All-Sun Belt First Team as a junior in 2016 as the Trojans led the league in scoring and finished second in total offense and passing offense. Silvers finished his career as Troy’s alltime leader in touchdowns responsible. Troy finished the 2016 season 10-3 with a victory in the Dollar General Bowl, the first top-25 ranking in school and Sun Belt Conference history and the best win-improvement in the country. The success continued in 2017 as Troy set a school FBS record for wins as the Trojans finished the season 11-2 with a Sun Belt championship, New Orleans Bowl title and a victory at No. 22 LSU. Reagan mentored Deon Anthony into an All-Sun Belt performer (all-purpose) in 2012 as Troy’s backup quarterback. Anthony set the then Troy single-season record (broken by Silvers in 2014) by completing 69.9 percent of his passes (79-of-113) and was named the Allstate Sugar Bowl Manning Award Player of the Week. Additionally, Reagan coached Troy’s running backs during the first three years of Neal Brown’s tenure. During that brief stint, Brandon Burks became Troy’s eighth 1,000-yard rusher as he finished the 2015 season with 1,005 yards and seven touchdowns. Jordan Chunn made it two-for-two as he rushed for 1,288 yards and 16 touchdowns in 2016. Chunn would go on to set the Troy career rushing and total touchdown records during the 2017 season. Reagan returned to Troy in 2011 as the full time quarterback coach after one season as a graduate assistant under Neal Brown at Texas Tech. Reagan previously served on the staff of the Trojans as a graduate assistant in 2008 and 2009 when Brown was the offensive coordinator. During his time at Texas Tech, Reagan assisted with the breakdown of opponents’ defenses, and was responsible for the scouting report from week-to-week detailing information on the opponents. During his two-year graduate assistant stint at Troy, the Trojans won two Sun Belt Conference championships, including finishing undefeated in conference play in 2009. He began his coaching career as an assistant coach at Rockdale (Ga.) High School where he served as a volunteer assistant coach in 1998. He then moved to an assistant coach at the varsity level in 1999, where he served as the running backs coach for the 6 AAA Region champions and the offensive coordinator for the ninth grade team. Reagan also served as the running backs coach for the varsity and offensive coordinator for the ninth grade team in 2000; before moving to the wide receivers/defensive backs coach in 2001. Reagan left Rockdale for a position at Chestatee (Ga.) High School, where he helped in starting the football program at a newly established high school. He served as the varsity running back coach and junior varsity offensive coordinator in 2002, before moving to varsity wide receivers coach and junior varsity offensive coordinator in 2003. In 2004, Reagan was promoted to offensive coordinator at Chestatee High School, while maintaining his role as wide receivers coach. In 2005, Reagan was the offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach. His final stop on the high school circuit came at Monroe (Ga.) Area High School where he served as the offensive coordinator for two years. Reagan received his bachelor’s degree in physical education/Leadership from North Georgia College and State University in 2008. Reagan is married to the former Elizabeth Ralston from Johns Creek, Ga., and the couple has three children, Heidi (10) and Chloe (8), and Maggie (born Sept. 2017).

COACHES
Cornelius Williams, who won four Sun Belt championships and helped lead Troy to three bowl games as a player, begins his fourth season as an assistant coach at his alma mater coaching the receivers. Troy’s wide receivers have flourished under Williams’ leadership as Emanuel Thompson (first team) and Deondre Douglas (second team) both earned All-Sun Belt honors in 2016; Douglas added another second team honor following the 2017 season. Thompson led the league with 80 receptions -- the second most in a season in Troy history -- and finished third with 820 receiving yards, while Douglas was tied for third with 60 catches and 740 yards ... the duo tied for second in the league with six touchdown receptions each. Douglas’ 60 catches without a drop led all players in the country. Troy finished the 2016 season 10-3 with a victory in the Dollar General Bowl, the first top-25 ranking in school and Sun Belt Conference history and the best win-improvement in the country. In 2017, Troy set a school FBS record for wins as the Trojans finished the season 11-2 with a Sun Belt championship, New Orleans Bowl title and a victory at No. 22 LSU. Damion Willis tied the New Orleans Bowl record with his 11 catches in Troy’s 50-30 victory over North Texas. Douglas continued to show his flair for the dramatic as he caught-game winning touchdowns passes against Akron (66 seconds) and Arkansas State (17 seconds). In his first season at Troy, the offense improved its per-game averages in scoring (6.1) and passing yards (42.0), in passing touchdowns (9), total offensive touchdowns (5), penalty yards per game (-2..2), sacks allowed (-5), red zone scoring (8 percent), first quarter scoring (57) and third quarter scoring (34). Additionally, Teddy Ruben earned second team All-Sun Belt honors after ranking second in the league in touchdown receptions and third in receiving yards. The Trojans began to click offensively as the season progressed as they averaged 36.0 points over the final six games of the season with three 40-point games. Troy scored 144 points over a three-game stretch against New Mexico State, Appalachian State and ULM -- the most in a three-game period by a Troy squad since 1993. Neal Brown, who was an assistant coach at Troy from 2006-09, coached Williams throughout his career at Troy. Williams was a four-year letterman for the Trojans and helped lead Troy to a combined 26-3 Sun Belt Conference record. He finished his Trojan career with 63 receptions for 764 yards and seven touchdowns. Williams made his return to Troy after spending the previous two seasons as the wide receivers coach on Bill Clark’s staffs at UAB (2014) and Jacksonville State (2013). UAB averaged 33.2 points and 431.8 yards of total offense in Williams’ lone season coaching the Blazers, both totals were good for fourth in the offense-heavy Conference USA; wide receiver J.J. Nelson was a fifth round selection of the Arizona Cardinals in the 2015 NFL Draft. Williams and the Jacksonville State offense had similar success as the Gamecocks averaged 442.5 yards of total offense and 35.2 points per game, good for second in the Ohio Valley Conference. Williams helped orchestrate a monumental turnaround at Jacksonville State as the Gamecocks went from a 6-5 team prior to his arrival to advancing to the FCS Quarterfinals. The Gamecocks, who upset No. 6 McNeese State in the second round of the playoffs, finished the season 11-4 and ranked No. 10 in the final The Sports Network FCS Top 25 Poll. Additionally, wide receiver Josh Barge earned freshman All-America honors following the season. Prior to Jacksonville State, Williams coached the wide receivers at North Alabama in 2012 and Murray State in 2011. In 2011, Murray State led the Ohio Valley Conference in scoring offense at 37.1 points per game, total offense with 460.9 yards per game and passing offense with 308.6 yards per game. Williams was an offensive graduate assistant coach at South Alabama in 2010, while Clark ran the South Alabama defense. In his only season with the Jaguars, he was part of a South Alabama offense that finished with a perfect 10-0 record and averaged 439 yards and 41.3 points per game. A standout at Hoover High School, Williams helped lead the Buccaneers to four consecutive Alabama 6A state championships and a combined 56-3 record. He was named all-state his senior year after setting a school record with 77 receptions for 1,300 yards and 18 touchdowns. He was selected to play in the Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Game and was ranked 16th in The Birmingham News’ Super Seniors. Williams graduated from Troy University in 2010 with a degree in sport and fitness management. He is married to the former Kiley Miller from Little Rock, Ark., and the couple has two daughters, Ellis and Wynn, and one son, Maverick.

Troy’s latest class boasted an average score of 81.02 by 247Sports marking the first time in school history that a Troy signing class has topped an 80 average by the recruiting service. The average is the second-highest in the Sun Belt (just .05 behind first) despite not counting Troy’s two transfers who will be immediately eligible to play.

Bennett first joined Strong as a student assistant coach at Florida in 2009 after two years as a student assistant coach at Birmingham Southern. He moved into the coaching ranks after an injury ended his playing career during his freshman season at Birmingham Southern. Bennett earned his bachelor’s of science in psychology from Louisville in 2011 and his master’s of science in sports administration from Louisville in 2013.

University of Montevallo, ‘67
Dr. Jack Hawkins, Jr., a native of Mobile, Alabama, was named Chancellor of Troy University Sept. 1, 1989. He earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Montevallo and his doctorate from the University of Alabama. Upon completion of his bachelor’s degree in 1967, Hawkins was commissioned a lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps and served as a platoon leader during the Vietnam War. For his combat duty, he received the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart and a citation from the Korean Marine Corps. Hawkins has overseen an era of change and growth at TROY, as he led the merger of the worldwide Troy State University System into the unified Troy University, an initiative called “One Great University.” More than $300 million has been invested in capital improvements by the Hawkins Administration, including new academic buildings on all four of TROY’s Alabama campuses. Chancellor Hawkins served as the catalyst for the University’s evolution to an international institution, as TROY has attracted record numbers of students from other nations and established teaching sites around the world. During his tenure, academic standards for admission have been increased, new degree programs were established in all academic colleges, and intercollegiate athletics joined the highest level of NCAA competition.

In 2014 he was one of nine university presidents/chancellors worldwide—and the only one in North America— to receive the World Confucius Institute’s Individual Performance Excellence Award. In October 2016 Dr. Hawkins was inducted into the Alabama Academy of Honor. Three buildings are named in his honor: the “Jack and Janice Hawkins Chapel” at the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind, the “Hawkins-Adams-Long Hall of Honor” and “Jack Hawkins, Jr. Hall” which serves the College of Education of Troy University. Hawkins was profiled as part of two books published in 2004: “Above and Beyond: Former Marines Conquer the Civilian World” by Rudy Socha and Carolyn Darrow and “The Entrepreneurial College President” by James L. Fisher and James V. Koch.
Hawkins serves on the board of directors of the Daniel Foundation, Business Council of Alabama, Better Business Bureau of Central Alabama, and Troy Bank and Trust Company, as well as the Board of Visitors of Marine Corps University. He is chairman of the Governor’s Committee on Employment of the Disabled and past President of the Sun Belt Conference. He has served on the Board of Directors of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU), as Chairman of the Council of University Presidents in Alabama (1999-2001), as President of the Southland Football League, and as chairman of the Air University Board of Visitors.

Foundation. He was also responsible for securing funding and supervising several major facility projects.
The women’s golf, men’s golf and women’s cross country teams posted perfect 1,000 scores and received special recognition from the NCAA.
Prior to his time at Southern Miss, McClain served as Director of Athletics at Delta State University for fiveplus years, beginning in 2007. While at Delta State, McClain developed a plan to increase student-athlete services.
Additionally, Troy set records on social media as the Trojans’ Twitter, Facebook and YouTube accounts all saw record growth in terms of engagement and interactions. Jeremy McClain begins his fourth season as the Director of Athletics at Troy University and the success on the field and in the classroom during McClain’s first three years at Troy has been unparalleled. McClain was named Troy University’s Director of Athletics on Aug. 14, 2015, following three years as the Deputy Director of Athletics at Southern Miss. The Troy football program has won the eighth most games in the country over the previous two seasons with 21 victories. The Trojans have won back-to-back bowl games and a Sun Belt Conference title, while earning a national ranking and recording a historic victory at LSU in that time period. The men’s basketball team won the 2017 Sun Belt Conference Tournament and made its first appearance in March Madness since 2003, while the women’s basketball team has won 60 games over the last three seasons with a pair of Sun Belt Conference Tournament titles and two trips to the NCAA Tournament. Troy was the only school in the country in 2016-17 to win a bowl game and both its respective conference men’s and women’s basketball tournaments. Additionally, the Troy golf programs have ascended to the top of the Sun Belt as the men’s program has advanced to the NCAA Regionals in three of the last four seasons, while the women’s program has won three of the last five league titles with three NCAA Regional appearances. Troy finished in third place in the 2017-18 Bubas Cup standings, which is the Sun Belt Conference’s all sport trophy; the best finish in Troy’s 13-year history in the league. Troy has set attendance records in football, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball, softball and soccer during his tenure. Additionally, McClain spearheaded Troy’s expanded presence on the digital side of collegiate athletics. At the forefront, is Troy’s expanded partnership with ESPN3 and ESPN+ as Troy self-produced volleyball, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball and softball games for broadcast. Troy’s student-athletes continue to shine academically as well. Seven athletic programs set new single-year NCAA Academic Progress Rate records in the latest
@TROYTROJANSFB | TROYTROJANS.COM
Under McClain’s leadership, the Athletics Department underwent a restructuring with the addition of positions for a Deputy Director of Athletics for External Relations, Deputy Director of Athletics for Internal Relations and an Associate Director of Athletics for Marketing. Troy has turned in record licensing revenue under McClain’s watch as revenues have increased by 34 percent. The long-anticipated Troy Football North End Zone Facility broke ground in the fall of 2016 and opened in the summer of 2018. The $25 million facility is the state-of-the-art home to the football program with new coaches offices, locker room, weight room and team lounge. Additionally, the project added 400 luxury seats to Veterans Memorial Stadium and a new highdefinition video board. McClain dedicated his first year at Troy to improving the fan experience with the implementation of several new gameday initiatives, the unveiling of a new ticketing system and spearheading a redesign of the Athletics website, TroyTrojans.com.
McClain also increased donations to the school’s athletic department, securing funding for the first phase of DSU’s Athletic Master Plan. Delta State’s on-field successes also increased under McClain. During his tenure, the Statesmen and Lady Statesmen claimed seven Gulf South Conference championships, five NCAA Regional crowns and 21 NCAA postseason appearances. In 2010, the football team appeared in the NCAA Division II National Championship Game and in 2012 the baseball team earned a runner-up finish at the NCAA Division II College World Series. McClain earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration from Delta State in 1999, where he was a Division II All-American in baseball. He also earned his M.B.A. from Delta State in 2002. After graduation, he played five years of professional baseball. He is married to the former Christie Cannon of Calhoun City, Miss., and the couple has three children, son Cannon (12), and daughters Kate (9) and Piper (6).
McClain also led the Athletic Department’s development of a new strategic plan to lay the groundwork for the future of the department. Troy won a pair of Sun Belt Conference championships during his first year as the women’s basketball and men’s golf programs won their first-ever Sun Belt titles and advanced to the NCAA postseason. At Southern Miss, McClain oversaw the day-to-day operations of the Athletics Department, which featured over 100 employees and a $24 million budget. Additionally, McClain was responsible for revenue generation, which included licensing, corporate development, fundraising and ticket sales. As the primary fundraiser for the Golden Eagles, McClain led a staff that set records in 2013 for the annual fund and the overall Southern Miss Athletic

FOOTBALL Troy Falls in Season Opener at Boise State BOISE, Idaho – Boise State took advantage of costly Troy miscues to defeat the Trojans, 24-13, in the season opener for both teams Saturday afternoon at Albertsons Stadium. Troy committed three turnovers, eight penalties and allowed the Broncos to average 41.8 yards on kickoff returns and 24.8 yards on punt returns in the first-ever meeting between the two schools. Boise State (1-0) got on the board just 94 seconds into the game on an 81-yard punt return for a touchdown by Avery Williams. The Trojans (0-1) followed with one of their best offensive series of the game. A 26-yard reception by Damion Willis and a 26-yard run by Jamarius Henderson set up Troy inside the red zone. The Trojans were not able to move any closer and Bratcher Underwood booted a 38-yard field goal to put the Trojans on the board. Troy’s defense came up with big stops on Boise’s next two offensive series – a fourth-down stand on its own 24-yard line by Sam Lebbie and a sack by Antione Barker that forced a fumble. The Broncos, who improved to 103-6 at home since 2000, finally cracked the Troy defense as Alex Mattison broke through the middle for a 49-yard score to put Boise up 14-3 with 7:51 to play in the opening half.

GAME RECAP
Notable • WR Clark Quisenberry, WR Damion Willis, WR Sidney Davis, OL Tristan Crowder, OL J.L. Gaston, Bandit Zo Bridges, LB Tron Folsom, S Melvin Tyus all made their first career starts for the Trojans. • Blace Brown intercepted his seventh career pass and returned it 53 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter. It was Troy’s first defensive touchdown since Demetrius Cain returned a fumble 17 yards for a touchdown at UL Lafayette in 2015. It was Troy’s first interception return for a touchdown since LaMarcus Farmer’s 55-yard return against ULM in 2015. • In his first career start, Melvin Tyus led the Trojans with seven tackles, while true freshman cornerback Marcus Jones finished with five tackles. • Troy finished the game with 12 tackles for loss which is tied for the 10th most in the school’s FBS history. Sam Lebbie led the Trojans with two, while freshman linebacker Justin Whisenhunt had 1.5. • Redshirt freshman punter Tyler Sumpter finished with four punts of more than 50 yards and averaged 49.6 yards on his seven punts in the game. • Jordan Chunn moved into eighth place on the Troy career rushing list with 2,387 yards after he rushed for 41 yards against Boise State. • Neal Brown has never been shutout as a head coach or as an offensive coordinator -- a span of 114 games.
Blace Brown brought life back into the Troy sideline with a 53-yard interception return for a touchdown with 2:30 to play in the opening half. Brown led the Trojans and ranked seventh nationally last season with six picks. However, Williams returned the ensuing kickoff 48 yards and six plays later Haden Hoggarth booted a 41-yard field goal to give the Broncos a 17-10 advantage at the half. Troy had its chances in the second half thanks again to the defense which limited Boise State to just 134 yards in the final 30 minutes of the game. The Trojans sacked Boise’s two quarterbacks a combined four times and recorded 12 tackles for loss – the 10th most in Troy’s FBS history – in the game. The Trojans had a golden opportunity to tie the game in the third quarter after dialing up a 16-play drive that took more than five minutes off the clock. With Troy facing third-and-8 from the Boise 19yard line, Silvers threw a ball that was tipped into the air and pulled down by Deondre Douglas. The play was originally ruled a touchdown on the field. But following a review, the replay officials ruled that Desmond Williams stripped the ball loose and it went through the end zone for a touchback before Douglas crossed the goal line. Troy’s offense struggled to find its rhythm all afternoon as the Trojans finished with just 215 yards of total offense, it’s lowest output under Neal Brown. Silvers finished 17-of-33 for 139 yards through the air, while Jordan Chunn rushed for 41 yards on just 11 carries. Boise State’s Brett Rypien didn’t fare much better completing just 13-of-23 attempts for 160 yards before turning the ball over to Montell Cozart, who was 6-of-9 for 50 yards and a score. Mattison finished with 82 yards on 13 carries. Scoring Summary BSU – Williams 81-yard punt return (Hoggarth kick), 13:24, 1st TROY – Underwood 38-yard field goal, 10:14, 1st BSU – Mattison 49-yard run (Hoggarth kick), 7:51, 2nd TROY – Brown 53-yard interception return (Underwood kick), 2:30, 2nd BSU – Hoggarth 41-yard field goal, 0:27, 2nd TROY – Underwood 39-yard field goal, 10:59, 4th BSU – Roh 7-yard pass from Cozart (Skillin kick), 2:12, 4th

Troy then marched down the field with an eight play, 95-yard drive that was capped off by a 12-yard Henderson rushing touchdown – his first in a Troy uniform. Chunn added his third touchdown of the day in the third quarter, before a 36-yard Henderson house call with 9:03 left in the fourth quarter wrapped up the scoring. Brandon Silvers finished the game 32-for-40 with 345 yards to move into second place all-time in Troy history. Troy threw for 354 yards but did not find the end zone through the air, which is most passing yards in a game without a passing touchdown in the Trojans' FBS history. The Trojan defense stood strong all night, not allowing an offensive point and holding the Hornets to only 80 passing yards and 85 rushing yards. The 165 yards allowed was the eighth fewest in Troy's FBS history and lowest output since Savannah State totaled just 147 yards in 2013. Quotable – Head Coach Neal Brown Tonight was a good win. I told our team college football is hard. It's difficult to win and we need to celebrate every time we win. The mission of our program is we're going to have fun, we're going to have positive energy and we're going to celebrate when we win. Turning Point Leading 13-7 with 4:21 left in the first half, Troy started a drive at its own five-yard line. The Trojans proceeded to drive the ball 95 yards for the score to build a two-score advantage right before halftime.

FOOTBALL Troy Downs New Mexico State in Belt Opener LAS CRUCES, New Mexico – Troy found the end zone three times on the ground and the Trojan defense limited New Mexico State’s high-powered offense as the Trojans defeated the Aggies, 27-24, in the Sun Belt Conference opener for both schools at Aggie Memorial Stadium. Brandon Silvers led the Trojans (2-1, 1-0 Sun Belt) with his arm and his leg as he threw for 286 yards and a touchdown and sealed the game with a 32yard touchdown run in the final seconds of the third quarter. Troy’s defense held New Mexico State (1-2, 0-1) to just 382 yards of total offense and 51 rushing yards after the Aggies entered averaging 524.5 and 125.0 yards, respectively. With momentum on the Aggies’ side midway through the fourth quarter, the Trojan defense came up with a stop. New Mexico State started the drive on its own 39-yard line and completed three passes, but managed just six yards and head coach Doug Martin elected to punt. Troy took over on its own 3-yard line with 6:15 to play in the game. Behind the running of Jordan Chunn and a pair of highlight reel catches from Deondre Douglas, the Trojans ran 11 plays, moved the ball 56 yards and milked the clock to a victory formation.

TROY GAME 4 AKRON 3 0 7 7 17 TROY 7 9 0 6 22 Sept. 23 • Veterans Memorial Stadium • Troy, Ala. • 27,324
FOOTBALL Troy Wins a Thriller Over Akron TROY, Alabama – Brandon Silvers dropped a dime to Deondre Douglas on a 23-yard strike with 66 seconds remaining to cap off a 97-yard drive and push Troy past Akron, 22-17, at Veterans Memorial Stadium. Troy’s defense stuffed Akron on a third-and-2 with just over three minutes remaining in the game to force a three-and-out and set up the game-winning drive. Following a 56-yard punt that was downed at the Troy 3-yard line, the Trojans (3-1) took over with 3:14 to play. Facing fourth-and-5 from its own 40-yard line, Silvers found Douglas over the middle for a 16-yard gain to keep the game alive. Following a 12-yard pass to Damion Willis and a 9-yard Jordan Chunn run, Silvers connected with Douglas for the game-winner to send the crowd of 27,324 at The Vet into a frenzy – the crowd was the third-largest in stadium history. Silvers finished the game 28-for-41 with 314 yards and one touchdown, while Douglas caught seven passes for a total of 92 yards.

Akron (1-3) made the game interesting when Warren Ball took a direct snap four yards into the end zone with 5:37 left in the ballgame, to give Zips their first lead of the game, 17-16. Ball carried the ball 28 times for 112 yards and a touchdown. Thomas Woodson connected with Kwad Smith on a 40-yard touchdown pass late in the third quarter to pull the Zips within striking distance, 16-10. Woodson completed 20-of-40 passes for 268 yards, and Smith caught four passes for 103 yards. Troy started the second quarter with a bang, as Kaleb Barker took a quarterback-keeper 48 yards to the house to put Troy up 16-3. The touchdown run was the second of his career – he had a 50-yard scoring scamper against Austin Peay last season. Chunn put the Trojans on the board early after bulldozing his way to a 6-yard touchdown at the 5:03 mark of the first quarter – the 42nd of his career. MegaChunn once again led the Trojan rushing attack, toting the rock 16 times for 106 rushing yards. It was his seventh-career 100-yard rushing game and moved him into fourth place on the Troy career rushing list.

FOOTBALL Troy Stuns No. 22 LSU in Tiger Stadium BATON ROUGE, Louisiana – Jordan Chunn rushed for 191 yards and Troy forced four LSU turnovers as the Trojans stunned No. 22 LSU, 24-21, in front of more than 99,000 fans in Tiger Stadium. The victory was Troy’s second ever over a ranked opponent and snapped LSU’s 49-game home non-conference winning streak. Troy (4-1) built a 17-0 lead in the third quarter and sent many of the 99,879 fans in attendance for LSU’s Homecoming to the exits of Tiger Stadium early in the fourth quarter as Josh Anderson scored from seven yards out to give the Trojans a 24-7 lead with 8:14 to play. LSU (3-2) rallied with a pair of Danny Etling touchdown passes, but Troy recovered two on-side kicks and Blace Brown intercepted his eighth career pass to ice the game. Brown also forced a fumble, recorded five tackles and broke up a pass. The Trojans set the tone early when Cedarius Rookard rocked Darrel Williams on the first play of the game to knock the ball loose. Kris Weatherspoon fell on the loose ball to set Troy up on the LSU 30-yard line. Troy, who scored 14 points off LSU’s four turnovers, went down the field on five plays, highlighted by a 16-yard reception by Emanuel Thompson and capped by a 1-yard run from Brandon Silvers to put the Trojans in front early.

Silvers completed 16-of-28 passes for 157 yards with three completions to Deondre Douglas, Emanuel Thompson and Tevaris McCormick. Chunn rushed 30 times in the game to set a new career-high with his 191 yards on the ground.
• Troy improved to 17-0 when leading after the third quarter under Neal Brown; Troy led LSU 17-7 after three quarters of play.
A balanced Troy defense kept LSU off the scoreboard for the first 41 minutes of the game and became the first defense to hold the Tigers scoreless in an opening half of a non-conference game since 2009.
• Troy improved to 13-0 when rushing for over 150 yards under Neal Brown; Troy rushed for 206 yards against LSU. • Troy improved to 2-20 all-time against ranked opponents; Troy’s other win over a ranked opponent was a 24-14 victory over No, 17 Missouri in 2004. • Troy improved to 3-21 all-time against the current members of the Southeastern Conference; it was Troy’s second victory (Mississippi State, 2001) against an SEC school at the time of the game; Troy defeated Missouri (then in the Big 12) in 2004. • Jordan Chunn recorded his eighth career 100-yard rushing game as he finished with a career-high 191 yards on 30 carries. Chunn moved into third place on the Troy career rushing list with 2,836 yards to pass Shawn Southward. He is 606 yards shy of the all-time Troy record. • Jordan Chunn recorded his 43rd career rushing touchdown and is now six shy of setting the Sun Belt career record. • Blace Brown entered the game as the nation’s leader among active players with 0;37 interceptions per game and he added to that total with the game clinching pick in the final seconds of the game. Brown now has eight career interceptions in 20 career games played.
Freshman Marcus Jones led Troy with eight tackles and recorded the first interception of his career. Rookard also had eight tackles to go along with his forced fumble, while Weatherspoon added seven tackles and Sam Lebbie had five. Troy took a 10-0 lead into the half after officials pulled both teams out of the locker room. With seven seconds remaining in the half, Silvers completed a 20-yard pass to John Johnson down to the LSU 20-yard line, but the clock operator failed to stop the clock and time expired. After both teams had gone to their locker rooms, replay overturned the ruling and placed two seconds on the clock. After both teams returned to the field, freshman kicker Evan Legassey booted a 37-yard field goal to give Troy three very important points. On the second play following the break, Chunn went straight through the heart of LSU’s defense for a 74-yard run down to the LSU 1-yard line. It was the longest run of Chunn’s career and longest by a Trojan since 2015. Chunn punched it in on fourth-and-goal for his 43rd career touchdown to give Troy a 17-0 lead.

Down 19-0 in the fourth, the Trojans marched down the field on a nine-play, 81-yard drive that was capped by a one-yard rushing touchdown by Brandon Silvers. Silvers completed 24 of his 46 pass attempts for 263 yards with an interception. John Johnson carried in the two-point conversion to cut the lead to 19-8, where it would stand. Emanuel Thompson led the Trojan receiving corps with six receptions for 67 yards, and Jordan Chunn was held to just 43 rushing yards on 10 carries – his lowest production on the ground since Neal Brown’s debut against NC State in 2015. Freshman Justin Whisenhunt earned his first career start and tied for the team lead with a season-high seven tackles – Cedarius Rookard also posted seven tackles in the matchup. Quotable – Troy Head Coach Neal Brown “We’re 4-2. We’re really not where we should be. The truth of the matter is we’ve played six games and we’ve played really bad in two of them, really good in one of them and really average in the other three. That’s where we’re at. This football team is not playing as good as it needs to.

John Johnson gave the Trojans for good just over five minutes into the game as he showed some fancy footwork to cap a 49-yard reception from Silvers in what was the beginning of 34-unanswered points. Silvers completed 25-of-35 passes and threw a pair of touchdowns with his lone miscue coming on an interception after his intended target slipped on the new turf at the old Turner Field. The senior signal caller doubled his touchdown total for the season as he connected with nine different teammates in the game. Georgia State (3-3, 2-1) converted the interception into three points after taking over on the Troy 39-yard line. Those were the only points the Panthers would muster against the stingy Troy defense until 56 seconds remaining in the game. GSU ended the game with a 20-play, 82yard drive after Troy emptied the bench; the Trojans had held the Panthers to just 225 yards heading into that drive.

Troy’s defense played behind the line of scrimmage for most of the afternoon as the Trojans finished with four sacks and 10 tackles for loss. Senior defensive end Seth Calloway had a career-best two sacks and Zo Bridges added a pair of tackles for loss.
• Troy improved to 2-0 on opponent Homecoming games this season; the Trojans also defeated LSU on its Homecoming.
The nation’s 12th ranked defense did not disappoint as the Trojans held Georgia State to just 1.6 yards per carry with only 33 yards on 52 carries. It marked the fifth time in seven games this season that Troy has held its opponent under 100 yards rushing.
• Troy improved to 18-0 all-time under Neal Brown when leading after three quarters of play; the Trojans led 31-3 over Georgia State. • Troy has now won 12 straight games when totaling more than 400 yards of offense in a game; the Trojans finished with 457 yards against Georgia State. Troy is 13-1 all-time under Neal Brown in such games. • Brandon Silvers finished the game with two touchdown passes for his 17th career multi-touchdown game and the first this season; Silvers entered the game with just two touchdown passes on the season. • Troy held Georgia State to just 52 rushing yards on 33 attempts (1.6 ypc); it marked the fifth time in seven games this season that Troy has held its opponent under 100 yards rushing, which is the fourth most in Troy’s FBS history. • Troy held Georgia State without a touchdown until 56 seconds remaining in a 34-3 game; the last time Troy held a Sun Belt opponent without a touchdown was 2008 against Arkansas State. • Defensive end Seth Calloway set a career-high with 2.0 sacks in the game; he was officially in on three sacks in the game and was credited with a half sack on two different plays.
Deondre Douglas found the end zone twice in the second quarter to push Troy’s advantage to 21-3 at the break. He capped an 11-play scoring drive with a 6-yard touchdown catch and then on fourth-and-2 later in the quarter took an end around 35 yards for his first career rushing touchdown. Georgia State had a prime scoring opportunity at the end of the second quarter with a firstand-goal from the 5-yard line. However, Tron Folsom broke up a pair of passes and the Trojans stuffed the Panthers on two rushing attempts to turn the ball over on downs. Troy head coach Neal Brown kept his foot on the pedal coming out of the break. After the defense forced a three-and-out on Georgia State’s opening drive of the half, Silvers completed passes of 42, 14 and 16 yards on Troy’s first three plays of the ensuing possession. Josh Anderson put a bow on the drive with a 2-yard score to put Troy up 28-3 just three minutes into the third quarter. Anderson rushed for 57 yards on 13 carries in place of the injured Jordan Chunn. Jamarius Henderson caught five passes for 62 yards, while Damion Willis had four grabs for 43 yards.

FOOTBALL Troy Washes Out Georgia Southern Troy busted out of the gates with three touchdowns in its first 10 offensive snaps on its way to a 38-16 Sun Belt victory over Georgia Southern to become bowl eligible on Homecoming at Veterans Memorial Stadium on Saturday. In the true spirit of Halloween, Troy (6-2, 3-1 in Sun Belt) reached into its bag of tricks on the second play of the game as Brandon Silvers threw the ball back to wide receiver John Johnson, who in turn launched a pass 40 yards to freshman Tray Eafford for a touchdown. It was Johnson's second career touchdown pass and Eafford's first career touchdown reception. Two drives later, Trojan senior Josh Anderson took the first play 32 yards up the gut – tied for the longest run of his career – to push the lead to 14-7. Anderson led the Jordan Chunn-less rushing attack with 96 yards on 15 carries. Not to be outdone by his counterpart and only two offensive snaps later, Jamarius Henderson carried the rock 59 yards for yet another quick-strike score for the Trojans. Henderson contributed 77 of the Trojans' 241 rushing yards.

FOOTBALL Troy Tops Idaho; Chunn Ties Record TROY, Alabama – Jordan Chunn rushed for his 44th and 45th career touchdowns to tie the school record for overall touchdowns scored and carry Troy to a 24-21 Sun Belt victory over Idaho Thursday night at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Sun Belt Conference action. Chunn's 45 rushing touchdowns are also four shy of setting the all-time Sun Belt record. He finished the game with 113 yards on 18 carries which moved him into second place on the school's all-time rushing list with 2,997 in his career. Troy's (7-2, 4-1 Sun Belt) defense flexed its muscles once again, allowing less than 100 rushing yards (90) for the sixth time in nine games this season and eclipsing four sacks (6) for the fifth time. Tron Folsom led the stalwart defense with a career-high and team season-best 16 tackles. Idaho (3-6, 2-3 Sun Belt) rode the arm of quarterback Matt Linehan, who threw for 282 yards and two touchdowns.

The Vandals scored the only points of the first quarter on a 7-yard touchdown pass from Linehan to Alfonso Onunwor, then were held off the board until the two connected for another touchdown at the 8:55 mark of the fourth quarter – Onunwor led the team with nine catches for 111 yards. Meanwhile, the Trojans rattled off 17 unanswered points starting with a 16-yard Chunn rumble midway through the second quarter. Tyler Sumpter then improved to a perfect 4-for-4 after drilling a 40-yard field goal as the first half clock expired. To open the second half, Troy marched 65 yards on seven plays and capped off the drive with a 14-yard touchdown pass from Brandon Silvers to Tevaris McCormick. It was McCormick's first touchdown of the season, while Silvers finished 20-for-30 with 212 yards.

FOOTBALL NCAA & Troy Records Fall as Troy Cruises Past Coastal CONWAY, South Carolina – Marcus Jones returned two kickoffs for a touchdown and Jordan Chunn became Troy’s all-time touchdown king as the Trojans eased past Coastal Carolina, 42-17, at Brooks Stadium in Sun Belt Conference action. Jones, a true freshman, returned the opening kickoff of the game 91 yards for a touchdown, and following a Coastal field goal, returned the second kickoff of the game 87 yards for a touchdown. Jones tied an NCAA record with his two touchdown returns as he became just the 24th player in NCAA (FBS) history to return a pair of kickoffs for a touchdown in a game. Chunn found the end zone for the 46th time of his Troy career with an 8-yard run in the second quarter. It gave the Trojans (8-2, 5-1 Sun Belt) a 28-10 lead and established Chunn as Troy’s all-time touchdown leader as he passed Troy Hall of Famer Danny Grant in the annuals of Troy history. Troy’s defense continued to be a dominant force despite playing without three starters in the first half and two starters the entire game. Troy remains just one of three teams in the country to have not allowed more than 24 points in a game this season.

FOOTBALL Last Second TD Lifts Troy to Sixth Sun Belt Championship JONESBORO, Arkansas – Redemption. Troy won its record sixth Sun Belt Conference championship as the Trojans drove 72 yards in 66 seconds with no timeouts capped by a 14-yard touchdown pass from Brandon Silvers to Deondre Douglas to lift Troy past Arkansas State, 32-25, Saturday night at Centennial Bank Stadium. Marcus Jones gave Troy (10-2, 7-1) a 24-13 lead with 7:46 to play in the game as he etched his name in the Troy record book with a 100-yard interception return for a touchdown – it was the longest defensive touchdown in Troy’s FBS history. Jones asserted his claim for Sun Belt Freshman of the Year earlier in the game as he returned a kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown to put the Trojans on the board. Arkansas State took a 25-24 lead with a pair of touchdowns just 88 seconds apart late in the fourth quarter to set up the dramatic finish between the two teams who have won 11 of the last 12 Sun Belt Conference championships. Almost a year to the date when Troy’s Sun Belt title hopes came up nine yards short at Georgia Southern (Dec. 3, 2016), the Trojans started their game-winning drive with 83 seconds on the clock and 72 yards of green in front of them. Silvers opened with four straight completions to push the Trojans to the Red Wolves’ 43-yard line. However, two straight incompletions after a 5-yard gain set Troy up with a fourth-and-5 and the game on the line.

Douglas made a miraculous 19-yard reception as he was falling to the turf to keep the drive alive. Following an Arkansas State (7-4, 6-2) penalty and an incompletion, Silvers found Douglas alone in the corner of the end zone for the game winner. Silvers completed 23-of-41 passes for 246 yards and two touchdowns, while Douglas finished with seven catches for 74 yards and Tray Eafford caught three passes for 70 yards. Jones put the Trojans in front, 7-3, with his school record third kickoff return for a touchdown this season early in the second quarter. The true freshman returned two kickoffs for touchdowns at Coastal Carolina back on Nov. 11 and is already tied for the school’s career record with three. Justice Hansen gave the Red Wolves a 10-7 lead at the half with a 5-yard touchdown run with just over five minutes to play in the second quarter. It marked just the third time this season that Troy had trailed at the half. Hansen finished 31-of-50 for 437 yards and two touchdowns through the air, but threw three costly interceptions. He also ran 16 times for 52 yards. Blake Mack led the Red Wolves with six catches for 104 yards. Severely depleted by injuries, Troy’s defense recorded four sacks and seven tackles for loss in the game and limited the high-powered Arkansas State offense to just 25 points – the Red Wolves entered averaging 39.9 points per game, ninth best in the country. Troy got some much-needed points out of its offense to open the third quarter thanks to a 28-yard field goal by Tyler Sumpter to tie the game at 10-all. However, Arkansas State answered back with a field goal of its own to regain the lead.

FOOTBALL Troy Slams North Texas in New Orleans Bowl NEW ORLEANS – Brandon Silvers accounted for five touchdowns and Troy’s defense recorded six sacks as the Trojans systematically dismantled North Texas, 50-30, at the Mercedes-Super Dome in the R&L Carriers New Orleans Bowl.

Silvers was named the New Orleans Bowl MVP after completing 24-of-31 passes for 305 yards and four touchdowns, while rushing for another score. Silvers became the school’s all-time leader in career touchdowns responsible for with 87 as he past Corey Robinson’s 84.

The Trojans, who were playing without eight normal players on its two-deep, wasted no time showing the Mean Green (9-5), the C-USA West Division champions, what they were in for Saturday afternoon. Silvers completed his first 10 pass attempts of the game and Josh Anderson scored twice on the ground in the game’s first five minutes and 39 seconds. Anderson finished with a career-best 113 yards on 22 carries in the game.

GAME RECAP
Notable • Troy has won at least 10 games in consecutive seasons for the first time since 1999 and 2000 when the Trojans were a member of the FCS. • Troy’s 11 wins are the most in the school’s FBS history and marks just the eighth time in the school’s history with at least 11 wins (1999, 1996, 1995, 1993, 1987, 1984, 1986)
His second score followed one of three fumbles recovered by the Trojan defense. Jamal Stadom dropped Mason Fine for a loss 10 yards behind the line of scrimmage and Sam Lebbie fell on the loose ball. Troy held North Texas (9-5) to -8 yards rushing in the game thanks to the six sacks and 11 tackles for loss – the Trojans finished the season with 112 tackles for loss, a new school record. It marked the eighth time this season that Troy held an opponent under 100 yards rushing, a new FBS record. North Texas scored two late touchdowns in the second quarter to turn a 15-point deficit into just a 22-20 halftime score. Following a 7-yard touchdown pass from Silvers to Damion Willis, the Mean Green returned a fumble 56-yards for a touchdown and got a late Fine touchdown pass. That was the last good thing to happen for the Mean Green as Troy came out of the break determined to show its former conference mate what they left behind when they left the league.
• Troy improves to 3-1 all-time in the New Orleans Bowl and 4-3 alltime in bowl games
Silvers opened the second half scoring with a 2-yard touchdown run and found Tevaris McCormick from 59-yards out – the longest pass in Troy’s bowl history – just over three minutes later to give Troy a 36-20 lead.
• Brandon Silvers’ four touchdown passes in the game tied Corey Robinson (2010 New Orleans Bowl) and Omar Haugabook (2006 New Orleans Bowl) for the most in Troy’s bowl history. His four touchdown passes tied a season high and marked the fifth time in his career he threw for at least four touchdowns in a game.
Scoring Summary
• Troy set the school single-season record with 112 tackles for loss after recording 11 against the Mean Green; the previous best was 105 in 1999. It marked the fifth time this season that Troy finished with double-digit tackles for loss. • Troy tied its bowl record with 11 tackles for loss and established a new record with 12 sacks and -8 rushing yards allowed in the game. The six sacks came from six different players. • Troy finished the season allowing just 18.5 points, 336.5 total yards and 105.3 rushing yards per game ... the rushing yard total is the sixthlowest in Troy’s Division I history (1993-present).

1968 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS Led by a record-setting aerial attack and a defense that recorded four shutouts, the Red Wave claimed the 1968 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 TennesseeMartin. 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.

TROY
FOOTBALL
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. @TROYTROJANSFB | TROYTROJANS.COM

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 arch-rival 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 State 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-yard touchdown scamper in the first quarter to trim the lead to 14-7. Trojans senior DeWhitt Betterson was named the game’s offensive MVP after rushing for 150 yards on 25 carries. He also had an apparent 85-yard third quarter touchdown run called back after a fan on the Northern Illinois sideline blew a whistle. @TROYTROJANSFB | TROYTROJANS.COM

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.

The Trojans wasted no time getting on the board as Brandon Silvers connected with Deondre Douglas for 47 yards down to the Ohio 1-yard line on Troy’s first offensive play of the game. Chunn punched it in on the next play at the Trojans led 7-0 just 1:26 into the game. Chunn rushed for 56 yards on 20 carries, while Silvers finished 24-of-41 for 235 yards and a score through the air.

LEODIS McKELVIN 2007 ALL-AMERICAN - RIVALS, SPORTING NEWS, PRO WEEKLY
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 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. The Buffalo Bills selected him with the 11th overall pick of the 2008 NFL Draft. McKelvin did not disappoint in his rookie season as was an All-Pro selection.
MARCUS JONES
2017 ALL-AMERICAN - PHIL STEELE Marcus Jones became Troy’s first All-American in a decade when the freshman was named to the Phil Steele All-America Third Team as a kickoff returner in 2017. He averaged 30.31 yards per kickoff return in 2017 with a school record three returned for a touchdown. The native of Enterprise, Ala., finished eighth nationally and first among freshman with his kickoff return average, which also ranked as the fourth-best in Troy and Sun Belt Conference history. Jones tied an NCAA record when he returned two kickoffs for touchdowns in Troy’s victory at Coastal Carolina; he became just the 24th player in FBS history to accomplish the feat. He is one of just six players nationally with four all-purpose plays of 80 or more yards this season and one of six players with three plays of 90 or more yards. Also a key part of Troy’s top-rated defense, Jones intercepted a pass and returned it 100 yards for a touchdown in the Trojans’ Sun Belt title clinching victory at Arkansas State. The Sun Belt Freshman of the Year opened the scoring for Troy in the game with a 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. Jones was also named to the Football Writers Association of America Freshman All-America Team and the ESPN Freshman All-America Team.

AL LUCAS
1999 BUCK BUCHANAN AWARD 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 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, 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.

TROY
FOOTBALL
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 35 players drafted into the ranks of the NFL, including 10 that have been drafted since joining the Sun Belt Conference. The Trojans still own the highest draft pick of any Sun Belt Conference member school when DeMarcus Ware was selected 11th overall in 2005 by Dallas, only to be matched by Leodis McKelvin in 2008 when he was selected by the Buffalo Bills. Jonathan Massaquoi is the lone underclassmen to be selected in the NFL Draft out of the Sun Belt Conference and Antonio Garcia became the highest offensive lineman drafted in Sun Belt Conference history in 2017 when he went in the third round to the New England Patriots.

TROY 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 an 8-5 season.

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 conference game throughout the season. The Trojans were rewarded for their efforts with a bid to the New Orleans Bowl and 13 selections to All-Sun Belt Conference Team at the conclusion of the season. 2009 - The Trojans finished off their first undefeated season in Sun Belt Conference history, running away for their fourth consecutive Sun Belt Conference championship and a berth in the GMAC Bowl.

TROY 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. BATTLE FOR THE PALLADIUM The Battle for the Palladium is the match up 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. LARRY BLAKENEY The head coach of the Troy Trojans for 24 seasons, Larry Blakeney guided the Trojans from NCAA Division II to the Football Championship Subdivision and finally to the Football Bowl Subdivision. Blakeney led the Trojans to eight conference titles, including a record five straight Sun Belt Conference championships. Blakeney’s teams played in five FBS bowl games, while appearing in the FCS Playoffs in seven of a possible eight years. An inaugural selection into the Troy University Sports Hall of Fame, Blakeney had the field in Veterans Memorial Stadium named in his honor. Blakeney retired following the 2014 season and finished his Troy career with a 178-113-1 record. BOWL GAMES The Trojans have played in eight bowl games in their history and seven at the FBS level - the 1948 Paper Bowl, in Pensacola, Fla., the 2004 Silicon Valley Football Classic, in San Jose, Calif. and the 2006, 2008, 2010 & 2017 R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, the 2010 GMAC Bowl and the 2016 Dollar General 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

FOOTBALL 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. Troy’s return to bowl season was triumphant with a 28-23 victory over Ohio in the 2016 Dollar General Bowl. Jordan Chunn rushed for three touchdowns and the Trojan defense forced five turnovers in the victory. The Trojans won their third straight bowl game with a dominating 50-30 blowout of North Texas in the 2017 New Orleans Bowl. Troy set a NOLA Bowl record for points and quarterback Brandon Silvers accounted for five touchdowns. LEVI BROWN Levi Brown rewrote the history books in his final season of 2009. He held 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 alltime 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 singleseason 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 studentathletes 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

COMING-OUT PARTY Troy made its Division I-A debut on Sept. 1, 2001, when the Trojans traveled to face fourth-ranked Nebraska. The Trojans showed they could play at the I-A level, taking an early 7-0 lead on a 9-yard touchdown run by Demontray Carter. Brock Nutter capped an improbable half, throwing a 31-yard touchdown pass to Heyward Skipper to cut the Cornhuskers’ lead to 28-14 at the intermission. The Trojans fought valiantly in the second half, keeping Nebraska out of the end zone on two drives inside the 1-yard line in the fourth quarter. Jimmy McClain stopped Eric Crouch on the 1-yard line, and the entire defense stopped Thunder Collins from leaping into the 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 first year. In his final year, he led the Trojans to the national title. He was inducted into the Troy University Sports Hall of Fame in 2013. 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. He was inducted into the Troy University Sports Hall of Fame in the summer of 2016. 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.
196 HISTORY
GLOSSARY
FOOTBALL 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. 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. RANK TROY Troy became the first team in Sun Belt Conference history to appear in either the Associated Press or USA Today Coaches Poll when the Trojans were ranked No. 25 in the Associated Press Poll on Nov. 13, 2016. Troy opened the season 8-1, the first team to do so in Sun Belt history, after defeating Appalachian State 28-24 on Nov. 12, 2016. COREY ROBINSON Finished his career with 11 Troy and Sun Belt Conference career records, including the record for passing yards, passing touchdowns, passing attempts, completions and total offense in both record books. Robinson was named the 2010 Sun Belt Freshman of the Year and was named to the All-Sun Belt First Team following his 2013 senior season. Robinson is one of just five players in NCAA history with 3,000 yards of total offense and 3,000 passing yards in four seasons. When he completed his time at Troy, Robinson ranked ninth in NCAA history in passing yards. Additionally, he set an NCAA record after completing 30-of-32 passes against UAB in 2013; the 93.8 completion percentage is the highest by a quarterback with at least 30 attempts. 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 appearance 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 wide receiver

TROY 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 competed 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. THUNDER IN THE VALLEY Troy entered Death Valley as massive underdog to No. 22 LSU as the Tigers entered the game with a 49-game non-conference home winning streak. Cedarius Rookard forced a fumble on the opening play of the game, Troy scored on the ensuing possession and the rest is history as Troy stunned LSU 24-21. The Trojans led 10-0 at the half and stretched the lead to 17-0 after Jordan Chunn scored just six plays into the second half. He finished with a career-high 191 yards on 30 carries. The Troy defense forced LSU into four turnovers and Blace Brown accounted for two with a forced fumble and game-sealing interception in the final seconds. 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 10, five times. @TROYTROJANSFB | TROYTROJANS.COM
FOOTBALL 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.
