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.
