Making The Right DecisionAs a high school senior, the coming months will bring forth an important decision involving your

future – the choice of a college or university. This decision is important for a number of reasons, but most importantly because of the influence it can have in your life - both athletically and academically.

Obviously, you have done well to this point in your career. The future, it would seem, can be even brighter.

As you prepare to make the critical choice of where to spend your college career, I invite you to consider Troy University.

A nationally acclaimed university that has been recognized by U.S. News and World Report and MONEY Magazine as an outstanding institution of higher learning, Troy University possesses a storied history of academic excellence and athletic success. Each day brings forth an exciting new chapter in that history.

Our program is beginning its fifth season of Division I-A membership, and during that time we have visited some incredible places and played games in some of college football’s most storied stadiums, including games at Nebraska, Miami, Kansas State, Minnesota, Mississippi State, South Carolina and Virginia. Games have also been scheduled in the near future with other programs of national promi-nence, including Florida, LSU, Georgia, Florida State, Ohio State, Oklahoma State and Arkansas.

In addition, our football facility – Movie Gallery Veterans Stadium – has increased its capacity to more than 30,000 and undergone a complete overhaul. Included in the project is a six-story press box facility that houses a new academic center, sports medicine area and weight room – all dedicated exclu-sively to student-athletes.

Another exciting development for our program is our membership in the Sun Belt Conference. The membership allows us to play for a conference championship and bowl berth each season while also increas-ing the visibility of all our players as they become eligible for league awards and recognition. Our program has proven to be competitive in the conference and we look forward to many great days that lie ahead.

Our success at Troy University is driven by tremendous support from our administration, faculty, staff and student body. It is nurtured by a coaching philosophy that puts the player, and his success on and off the field, first and foremost. The bond of trust that develops as a product of that philosophy makes us stronger as a team and difficult to defeat.

Your college choice is an important decision for you, the student-athlete, and one that has a great impact on your immediate future as well as the many years following your collegiate experience and football career.

As you weigh your options, we invite you to strongly consider Troy University because of the opportunities our institution presents, athletically, academically and socially. We would also like to invite you for a visit to our campus in the coming months, so you can see our unique spirit and atmosphere first-hand.

I wish you good fortune in your decision-making process and hope that you will give Troy University full consideration. Please let me know if I can be of assistance along the way.

Troy, Ala., combines the charm and dignity of the “Old South” with the progressive spirit of the new industrial South. Located in south central Alabama, Troy is the largest city in Pike County - which is popu-lated by nearly 30,000 residents. It is located near several areas of interest. Troy is 48 miles south of Montgomery, the state capital, and just 56 miles north of

Dothan, “Alabama’s Most Livable City.” Locals and visitors alike enjoy the many recreational opportunities the area has to offer. Whether it is golfing on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail that weaves itself through the region, or heading south to the sun and nearby surf on Florida’s pristine beaches, the community has something to offer everyone. Troy is near several other entertainment

options. Atlanta is just a two-hour drive. It offers several entertainment options, such as Six Flags, professional sports and the trendy Buckhead area. It allows those who enjoy the “small town” lifestyle easy access to the fast-paced atmosphere of a large city, with a quick escape home to the pleasures of the “Old South.” Montgomery, just to the north, is rich in history, also serving as the “Capital of the Confederacy” and the epicenter of the Civil Rights Movement. Troy University's Montgomery campus is home to the Rosa Parks Museum and Library.

Troy and Surrounding Area

�

From its beginnings as State Normal School founded in 1887 to train Alabama’s teachers, Troy University has grown into a global university system. • Troy University serves more than 27,000 students worldwide.

• Troy University consists of the main campus in Troy and campuses in Phenix City, Montgomery and Dothan, and the University College Division.

CAMPUS LIFE The Troy University campus was moved from downtown Troy to its present site in 1929. The original campus plan was designed by the Olmsted Brothers design firm, also credited with designing New York’s Central Park and the famed Biltmore Estate in Asheville, N.C. The original campus plan remains in effect today. The main hubs of activity are centered on two quadrangles:

• The main quad is surrounded by the major academic buildings on campus.

• The Shackelford Quad is surrounded by residential housing.

Troy University has invested more than $40 million in its facilities for students over the past five years. For example:

• The completion of renovations to Clements Hall, a residence hall.

• A new $4 million academic building opens Aug. 1, 2005 featuring 42,000 square feet of state-of-the-art theater-style and traditional classrooms.

• The renovation of Pace Hall into the Rotary International Living and Learning Center, a residence hall where international and U.S. students live together.

• The development of five new sorority houses and a continuing education center.

• The renovation of the Adams Student Center to include a food court—with Chick-Fil-A and other major franchise restaurants—and a student fitness center.

• The renovation of Smith Hall to include the new 1,000-seat Claudia Crosby Theater.

Did You Know?• The Alabama Development

Office has partnered with Troy University on its Heidelberg Campus to promote Alabama’s business climate?

• Troy University operates a campus in Cuba? Troy’s University College offers programs from the U.S. mil-itary installation at Guantanamo Bay. Troy’s campuses abroad include sites in Korea, Hong Kong, Japan and Malaysia.

• More than 50 Troy graduates hold the rank of general or admiral in the U.S. Armed Forces. That doesn’t include four generals who have recently retired.

• Troy University’s relationship with the U.S. Department of Defense dates back more than 50 years, when extension courses were first offered at nearby Fort Rucker, the home of Army Aviation. That pro-gram developed into the modern Troy University Dothan Campus.

ALAbAMA’SGLObALUniveRSiTy Troy University’s primary mission is to serve Alabama students, but with a global focus. Troy not only oper-ates campuses around the world, but brings the world to southeast Alabama as well. The goal is to pre-pare students from Alabama to excel in a rapidly growing global market-place. Thirteen years ago, Troy enrolled students from 10 foreign nations. Today, Troy enrolls students from 54 foreign nations. Included in this total are more than 60 students from the People’s Republic of China attending Troy as part of a unique program officially called 1-2-1 Sino-American Educational Strategies Program, which allows students from 27 partner Chinese universi-ties to study their first year in China, spend their sophomore and junior years in Troy and then return home to China to complete their degree. • Troy University was the first

American institution to par-ticipate in this program, although several other U.S. universities now participate. A similar joint-degree program is in development with Russia’s Vyatka State Humanities University in Kirov.

• Troy’s main-campus enrollment also includes many students from exotic locales such as Turkey, Russia, Korea, India and Malaysia.

Troy’s global mission is also served through distance learning, as thou-sands of Troy students earn degrees through eCampus without even visiting Alabama. This includes students in the revolutionary eArmyU program. Last year, Troy enrolled more than 3,000 soldiers through eArmyU.

Troy University believes in a total commitment to improving the lives of its student-athletes. All decisions are based on the idea that our athletes, who are the leaders of tomorrow, are students first. The commitment is providing the student-athlete with the assistance necessary to balance athletic and academic participation.

The Troy University Athletics Department is an integral part of the University. Its mission is to assure a balance between the desire to win and the desire to facilitate positive growth of student-athletes. The athletics department will strive to graduate student-athletes who will make signifi-cant contributions to society, view their experience as rewarding and who will be proud alumni and advocates of the University.

NCAA Regulations

The NCAA has set straightforward and strin-gent guidelines as to whom may represent a mem-ber institution in athletics. The organization uti-lizes the Clearinghouse to determine eligibility for every potential student-athlete.

The Clearinghouse determines if the prospect meets the minimum requirements set forth by the NCAA. The Clearinghouse looks beyond grade

point average and SAT/ACT test scores. It also scrutinizes the high school transcript to determine if the student-athlete has met at least 14 academic core course requirements. These include four years of English, two years of mathematics, two years of sciences, two years of social studies and four addi-tional academic courses.

The NCAA requirements do not stop with initial eligibility. Student-athletes have to main-tain a steady progression toward graduation while remaining in good academic standing with the University. This is done by maintaining a pre-scribed GPA (depending upon classification) and passing at least 24 semester hours of degree work

Commitment to Academics

11

Commitment to Academicseach academic year. Further, NCAA rules stipulate a stu-dent-athlete must declare a degree program of studies, and thereafter make satisfac-tory progress toward that specific degree. This is done to help ensure the mission of collegiate athletics, which is to graduate student-athletes, not exploit them for their athletic abilities.

Student - Athlete Services

Troy students are fortu-nate to have Student - Athlete Services (SAS) available to them. SAS provides all stu-dents the support necessary to make the collegiate experience the most beneficial and fruitful it can be. The athletics department coordinates an aca-demic reinforcement program for student-athletes.

Services offered by SAS• Two computer labs with internet access and

word processing programs• Monitor and chart student-athlete study table

sessions.• Provide academic assistance and arrange for

tutorial sessions• Registration of student-athletes for classes• Evaluation of student-athlete grades and

progress towards degree

Representatives of Athletic InterestA "representative of the institution's athletics interest" is

anyone who engages in the following activities:• participating as a member in any various Athletic Department booster groups, Alumni groups or the Troy University Foundation.• making a donation to Troy athletics or an institutional booster club.• arranging for summer vacation or vacation employment for student-athletes.• purchasing season tickets.• assisting in the recruitment of prospects.• promoting Troy Athletics in any manner.

According to NCAA rules, once an individual has been identified as an institution-al "representative of athletic interests" the individual retains that title for life. Troy University is ultimately responsible for the acts of all "representatives of athletics interests" in relation to NCAA rules and regulations.

Compliance with NCAA regulations is of the highest priority for our athletic program and institution. We need your assistance in complying with NCAA rules. Please contact Sandy Atkins at (334) 670-5745 for questions and assistance.

The strength and conditioning program at Troy University continually produces prepared and conditioned athletes for the highest level of collegiate competition. Strength and Conditioning Coach Richard Shaughnessy heads the program that works with Troy's 17-sport athletics program.

Under Shaughnessy's direction, the program has achieved new heights. The current weight room, located on

the first floor of the Movie Gallery Stadium Tower, has been a major factor in its success. The program plays a key role in the department's efforts to build a comprehensive and competitive athletics program. It also works to provide all Trojan student-athletes with a winning edge in preparation for the playing field.

The 10,000-square-foot weight room accommodates more than 420 student-athletes. It is designed with all sports in mind with more than $100,000 in equipment. It houses cardiovascu-lar equipment, hammer systems, power racks and a variety of leg apparatuses. Cross-training equipment and a multi-station crossover machine are among the items that have also recently been added. University courses are also taught in the facility throughout the year.

The strength and conditioning staff trains and monitors each of Troy's 17 athletic teams in order to determine progress and preparedness. All athletes are tested a minimum of three times per year, according to different categories.

Each member of the football team is ranked by a point system, according to the athlete's progress in the following 12

categories: bench press, squat, hang clean, vertical jumps, height, weight, 40-yard dash, 12-yard dash, box jumps, dots, jump ropes and 225 reps. The squad is bro-ken up into seven levels from highest to the lowest: Elite, Exclusive, Ultra, Super, Champion, Player and Trojan.

Ample and efficient equipment along with an experienced and determined staff allows the strength and conditioning program to constantly produce success-ful and prepared athletes for Troy.

TROJAN CLUB

Troy University has long been a leader in the field of athletic training. In 1990, the establishment of a four-year curriculum only strengthened the University’s commitment to this vital area of athletics.

The athletic training staff is committed to not only providing excep-tional healthcare to student-athletes, but also to providing outstanding education to student trainers. The coursework, which is accredited by the National Athletic Trainers Association, prepares students to become certi-fied athletic trainers while working closely with the athletics department and gives them invaluable hands-on experience. The program assigns at least one certified trainer to work with each varsity sport on campus.

John “Doc” Anderson, who returned to Troy following an 11-year stint as head trainer at Louisiana State, started the aca-demic program in 1991 and con-tinues to oversee its progress as curriculum direc-tor. Anderson was Troy’s head athletic trainer for 13 years prior to leaving for LSU in 1980. Head athletic trainer Chuck Ash, who coordinates all aspects of the ath-

Crisman, Diana Montgomery and Allison Steed, all of whom graduated from Troy University. The program also employs six graduate assistant trainers.

In January of 2005, the athletic training program moved into its new, state-of-the art, facility on the sec-ond floor of the Movie Gallery Veterans Stadium tower. The new facility includes expanded rehab and treatment areas, hot and cold tubs for treatment of injuries, new staff offices as well as room for a medical clinic with examination rooms and x-ray facilities.

In order to be successful and progressive, the Troy ath-letic training program aligns itself with exceptional profes-sionals in the field.

Troy has benefited tremendously from its lasting relationship with Dr. James Andrews, one of the world’s leading orthopedic surgeons. Andrews is a member of the Troy Board of Trustees, as well as the Chief of Staff of Alabama Sports Medicine in Birmingham, which has quickly become one of the leading comprehensive sports medicine centers in the world. Andrews and his orthopedic group also team with the Troy athletic training program for the Alabama Sports Medicine High School Outreach Program. This program assists area high school coaches with the healthcare process for their athletic programs.

Dr. Mickey DiChiara and Dr. Jefferey Dugas also serve as team physicians for the Trojans and have been instrumental in the development and organization of the athletic training pro-gram.

With a committed staff of trainers and physicians, a com-petitive accredited curriculum and an updated facility, Troy has an ideal and progressive athletic training program. The ultimate beneficiary of that success is the Troy University student-athlete.

A History of Movie Gallery Veterans Stadium

Memorial Stadium as it looked after construction in 1950. A permanent press box and extended seating was added in the 1980s.

The Troy University football program unveiled a newly reno-vated, $18 million Movie Gallery Veterans Stadium as the final piece of its Division I-A move in fall 2003. The project, which took more than a year to complete, increased the facility's seating capacity to 30,000, an increase of more than 12,000 seats.

Construction began on the project in July 2002 and was completed in time for the Trojans' 2003 home opener against Southeast Louisiana on Sept. 20.

The stadium has seen tremendous growth and change during its 54-year existence. It was built for a mere $65,000 as

Movie Gallery Veterans Stadium

�1

Construction in 1998 brought the stadium’s capacity to 17,500. Prior to construction in 2003.

The newest and most exciting way to enjoy Troy football is as a Stadium Club Level patron at Movie Gallery Veterans Stadium. With all

of the amenities of a local restaurant, a dynamic view of the playing field and a close gathering of other Trojan support-ers, the Stadium Club Level offers comfort, excitement and a refreshing change from the traditional gameday setting. All

seat holders have access to a 12,000-square foot lounge area, which will

be complete with food service, tables & chairs and soft drink sta-tions.

The Stadium Club Level is the only one of its kind among college football sta-diums in the state of Alabama.

In order to pur-chase Stadium Club Level seating,

patrons must join the Trojan Club with an annual, tax-deductible contribution of $500 per seat. By joining the Trojan Club, sup-porters are entitled to priority status when purchasing football postseason tickets and baseball and baskete-

ball season tickets.

Troy Chancellor Dr. Jack Hawkins, Jr. (left) and former Athletics Director Johnny Williams (right) presented Joe Malugen, President and CEO of Movie Gallery, Inc., a framed jersey on May 9 following the signing of the marketing agreement which re-named the stadium "Movie Gallery Veterans Stadium."

Trojan Stadium Club

Memorial Stadium in 1950 and seated just 5,000 spectators. Several renova-tions followed, including in 1998, when the facility moved from a 12,000-seat capacity to 17,500.

Construction began in July 2002 to expand its 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 & conditioning.

As a 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. Ole Miss, Princeton, the U.S. Naval Academy, the U.S. Military Academy (Army) and the Air Force Academy all use the same product. Several professional fran-chises have also installed the product in recent years, including the Buffalo Bills.

A large-screen, endzone video board was also installed, along with a state-of-the-art sound system.

The strength and conditioning and sports medicine areas were completed and opened in January of 2005.

Below are the rules that will govern the use of instant replay.ParticipationArticle 1. a. Any member institution may use instant replay. This rule is permissive, not a requirement. If instant replay is used, it must be used in full compliance with this rule.b. For any non-conference game, if the home team is using instant replay, the visiting team does not have the option of declining its use for that game. If the home team is not using instant replay, the visiting team does not have the option of requesting that it be used in that game.Reviewable Plays Reviewable plays governed by a sideline, goal line or an end line include:a. Scoring plays, including a runner in possession of a live ball breaking the plane of a goal line.b. A pass ruled complete, incomplete or intercepted at a side line, goal line or an end line.c. A runner or pass receiver ruled in or out of bounds.d. Recovery of a loose ball in or out of bounds in the field of play or an end zone.Reviewable plays involving passes include:a. A pass ruled complete, incomplete or intercepted anywhere in the field of play or an end zone.b. A legal forward pass touched by an ineligible receiver.c. A legal forward pass touched by a defensive player.d. A fumble ruled on the part of a potential passer. (Note: If the on-field ruling is forward pass and the pass is incomplete, the play is not reviewable).e. A forward pass or forward handing ruled when a runner is beyond the line of scrimmage.f. A forward pass or forward handing ruled after a change of possession.g. A pass ruled forward or backward when thrown from behind the line of scrimmage. (Exception: If the pass is ruled forward and is incom-plete, the play is not reviewable).Miscellaneous reviewable plays include:.a. A runner judged to have been not down by rule. (Note: If a runner is ruled down, the play is not reviewable).b. A runner’s forward progress with respect to a first down.c. Touching of any type kick by any player.d.

Instant replay personnel shall consist of the number of persons needed to operate the replay equipment within the necessary time constraints. A mini-mum of three persons shall be utilized to insure that all plays are reviewed in an efficient and a timely manner. Such persons are normally referred to as replay of-ficial, communicator and technician. Additional persons may be used as needed.EquipmentArticle 2. The type of equipment used to carry out necessary instant replay duties shall be determined by each conference or member institution utilizing instant replay.LocationArticle 3. a. All equipment used in making a decision during the replay process and the personnel using that equipment shall be located in a separate, secure location in the press box. This room shall not be available or accessible to any person not directly involved in instant replay.b. Additional telephonic equipment needed to allow instant reply person-nel to communicate with the game referee when a game has been stopped for a play review shall be located on a sideline near the field of play and preferably outside a team area. Such equipment shall provide the game ref-eree and the replay official a secure and private means of communication.

Initiating the Replay ProcessThere are two methods to stop a game to review a ruling on the field.a. The replay official and the crew shall review every play of a game. The replay official may stop a game at any time before the ball is next put in play whenever:1. There is reasonable evidence to believe an error was made in the initial on-field ruling. 2. The play is reviewable.3. Any reversal of an on-field ruling, which would result from indisput-able video evidence, would have a direct, competitive impact on the game.b. The head coach of either team may request that the game be stopped and a play be reviewed by challenging the on-field ruling one time during a game.1. A coach initiates this challenge by taking a team time out before the ball is next put in play and informing the referee that the coach is chal-lenging the ruling of the previous play.2. After a review has been completed, if the on-field ruling is reversed, that team’s time out will not be charged.3. After a review has been completed and the on-field ruling is not reversed, the charged team time out counts as one of the three permitted that team for that half.4. A head coach may not challenge a ruling in which the game was stopped and a decision has already been made by the replay official.5. If a head coach requests a team time out to challenge an on-field rul-ing and the play being challenged is not reviewable, the time out shall count as one of the three permitted the team during that half of the game. 6. A head coach may not challenge an on-field ruling if all the team’s timeouts have been used for that half. If all team timeouts have been used and a head coach signals for, and is granted, a time out, a delay penalty will be assessed.7. Each head coach shall be permitted one challenge per game.When to Stop a Gamea. A game may be stopped, either by the instant replay official or by a head coach’s challenge at any time before the ball is next put in play.b. No game official may request that a game be stopped and a play be reviewed.Reviewing an On-field Rulinga. When a game is to be stopped either by the replay official or by a head coach’s challenge, the designated officials on the field will be notified by a buzzer system or other appropriate means.b. The referee shall announce that the ruling on the field is being re-viewed. If the game has been stopped due to a head coach’s challenge, the referee will so indicate in the announcement.c. All reviews shall be based upon video evidence provided by and coming directly from the televised production of the game. If there is no television available, all video pictures shall come from the in-stadium video board production.d. After the referee has conferred with the replay official and the review process has been completed, the referee shall make one of the following announcements:If the video evidence confirms the on-field ruling:“After review, the ruling on the field is confirmed.”If there is no indisputable (conclusive) evidence to reverse the on-field ruling:“After review, there is no conclusive video evidence to change the ruling on the field. Therefore, the ruling stands.”If the on-field ruling is reversed:“After review, there is indisputable (conclusive) video evidence that . . . [followed by a brief description of the video evidence]. Therefore, . . . [fol-lowed by a brief description of what the reversal means].e. If a ruling is reversed, the replay official shall supply the referee with all per-tinent data as needed (next down, distance, yard line, position of the ball, clock status/adjustment) in order to resume play under the correct game conditions.Criterion for ReversalIn order to reverse an on-field ruling, the replay official must see indis-putable video evidence through one or more video replays provided to the monitor.

Larry Blakeney Smokey Hampton Leodis McKelvin Kenny Cattouse

If the only thing that is constant in college football is change, and change is good, then Troy University football coach Larry Blakeney’s 16th season at the helm of the Trojans program promises to be a good one. Following a 2005 campaign in which the Trojans once again ranked near the bottom of the country in most offensive categories, Blakeney decided that changes had to be made. The biggest change was the hiring of offensive coordinator Tony Franklin. Known by many across the country as a “guru” of the spread passing game, Franklin immediately set about transforming the Trojans from a run-first team into a squad that will look to throw the ball all over the field. “This new offense is easy to learn, but we only had a short amount of time in the spring to get a lot done,” Blakeney said. “I think we learned what we are trying to do in the offense. We have identified who the players are and where we want them to play and we know how we want to get the ball to them to give them a chance to make plays.” In addition to Franklin, Blakeney brought in two other assistant coaches familiar with the offense to help with the transition – offensive line coach Matt Moore and receivers coach Neal Brown. They will work with returning assistants James Joseph (backs) and Shayne Wasden (receivers) in an effort to improve a Troy offense get off the bottom of the national rankings. Through four seasons of Division I-A competition Troy has never

ranked higher than 109th (2005) in total offense. Only one year, in 2004, did the Trojans escape the bottom of the national rankings in scoring offense, and that year Troy benefitted from seven defensive touchdowns. The focus of the new offense is simple – put points on the board. “The whole key to success in this offense is paying attention to details,” Franklin said. “It is not about schemes in this offense because everyone runs the same plays at one time or another. It is about learning how to practice, and the key to us in practice is rhythm. We want to practice fast because we are going to play fast. We need to maximize our reps and learn to do everything in perfect detail.” While all 53 offensive players on Troy's train-ing camp roster have much work to do to digest the new offense and their roles in it, most of the weight for the success, or failure, of the system will fall on the shoulders of one player. “It all boils down to the quarterback, but it involves 11 people protecting and doing their jobs,” Blakeney said. “The offensive line and backs have to be able to protect and there has to be some rec-ognition of where the ball needs to go and when it needs to go there. The guys who catch the ball have to take care of the ball and make plays.”

Franklin went into spring practice with eight quarterbacks on the roster, but the race to be the Trojans' starter this fall was over almost before it started. Even with the return of both of last season's starters – senior Carl Meadows (Cumming, Ga.) and sophomore Julian Foster (Mobile, Ala.) – it was junior college transfer Omar Haugabook (Belle Glade, Fla.) who quickly took control of the new offense.

Haugabook To Lead New Offense

Tony Franklin Omar Haugabook Carl Meadows Julian Foster “Omar is a very accountable and mature guy and when he came in here he went straight to work,” Blakeney said. “Not only did he go to work in football, but away from football. He showed that he is going to do the things he is supposed to do and be accountable to the team. “For a guy to be our quarterback, he has to be someone you can trust away from the field. He is going to get a lot of credit when we win and a lot of criticism when we lose, and more than he deserves in both instances. I think Omar Haugabook is the right kind of guy for us.” Even with Haugabook established as the starting quarterback, the trio of Foster, Meadows and Larry Dockery (Compton, Calif.) are all still in the picture to serve in the backup role. All three saw playing time in 2005 and all bring different attributes to the table. “I have been judging quarterbacks since I got here, watching film of what they did before and grading what they did in the spring,” Franklin said. “The biggest thing for me is that they have to have good study habits. If they won’t study and won’t learn, then they can’t play quarterback.” Foster, in particular, took that message to heart in the spring. Toward the end of spring practice he seemed to grasp the new offense while, at the same time, gaining an understanding of what it takes to balance athletics and academics in college. “Julian Foster made a big move late in the spring,” Blakeney said. “He passed all of his classes, including one he was struggling with at midterm that was not an easy class. He started to show that he is going to do the things he needs to do. It took him some time, but I think he has shown that he is making strides in the right direction. Even with the strides Foster has made, Blak-eney said he would like to be able to redshirt him this fall and leave him with three years to play, with perhaps two of those seasons being as the Trojans’ starter at quarterback. Meadows, who will be a senior this fall, went

into the 2005 season as the Trojans’ starting quarterback, but struggled to make the offense run on a consistent basis. He and Dockery, who received a medical redshirt after seeing limited playing time early last year, will most likely battle to determine the backup spot. “Every now and then in this offense, Carl showed that he could do some things to make it click,” Blakeney said. “Larry Dockery is probably as adept, mentally, as any of the guys to this system, but the physical attributes are not there. He is a guy who will always be mentally ready to go.” Behind the quarterback, the new offense will also feature a lot of three- and four-receiver sets with one or two running backs, one of which will likely serve in an H-Back role that will combine the attributes of be-ing a back and a receiver. The new offense will very rarely employ the use of a tight end.

“The formations will be everything from two backs and two tight ends to no backs,” Franklin said. “We’ll adjust according to how the guys fit into the puzzle. I think you will see three and four wide most of the time. Most of the guys who are tight ends will either be inside receivers or will move to either defensive line or offensive line.” In the spring the five tight ends on the roster all found new positions. Senior Rob Austin (Ft. Payne, Ala.) moved back inside to left tackle, where he started the first two games last year. Sophomore Brandon Suggs (Russelville, Ala.), who moved to tight end last year from the defensive line, returned to the defensive side of the ball while senior Josh Pruitt (Ellsworth, Kan.) and redshirt freshmen Larry Johnson (Decatur, Ga.) and Travis Boyd (Lacey’s Spring, Ala.) moved to receiver. Moore takes over the offensive line coaching duties and comes to Troy after having played for Guy Morriss and coached under Mike Leach, two of the coaches most known for success in the Trojans’

Experience And Athleticism Key Up Front

James Gardner Kirbie Bodiford Chris Jamison Zach Yenserwide-open style of offense. His first priority was to find two tackles to protect the quarterback. “You have to have good tackles with good feet and long arms to stop the speed rushers,” Moore said. “You have to handle that part of it first. Rob runs so well and has great feet and is perfect for the left tackle spot.” Besides Austin, and returning senior starter Zach Yenser (Mari-etta, Ga.) at center, the other three starting jobs on the offensive line are in somewhat of a flux entering fall camp. Senior Kirbie Bodiford (Montgomoery, Ala.) and sophomore Will Chambliss (Cataula, Ga.) have switched spots on the right side of the line, with Bodiford, who started every game at right guard last year, moving to tackle and Chambliss sliding to guard. Sophomore Chris Jamison (Columbus, Ga.) returns at right guard, but both he and Chambliss will get com-petition from senior James Gardner (Dothan, Ala.) for playing time. “We will have to be more athletic up front because we will be running and screening so much,” Blakeney said. “Some of the stuff we’ll do is hard to work on because you don’t want to cut your own people in practice. I think we will have to play a lot of guys in this offense, so there will be an opportunity for some of the younger guys to get into the mix.” Others vying for playing time right away include senior Kenny Griffin (Stockbridge, Ga.), who has started games at both guard and tackle in his career, and sophomores Emeka Okosa (West Orange, NJ) and Steven Merkel (Pensacola, Fla.), who both saw limited playing time last year. That group will be joined by five redshirts from last season – Danny Franks (Bartow, Fla.), Chris Burkhalter (Ashland, Ala.), Nic Riley (Kathleen, Ga.), Steven Adams (Bruce, Fla.) and Will Roddy (Tampa, Fla.) – one true freshman, Jim Bob Williams (Green Cove Springs, Fla.), and one transplanted defensive lineman, redshirt freshman Eugene Newbold (Midfield, Ala.). With the new passing attack the Trojans will

employ, the next area of interest is at receiver, but the Troy backs will also figure prominently in the passing game. Wasden and Brown will work together to coach the receivers while Joseph returns to work with the backs. “When we play, as the play is developing, one will watch the left side and one will watch the right side so that they can coach on every snap,” Franklin said. “There is no way to watch both sides of the field at the same time. I feel very fortunate that we have those guys.” Sorting out the plethora of receivers and backs that will be available will be a full-time job. The Trojans return five experienced receivers and four veteran backs, but that group will be joined by four redshirt freshmen, three junior college signees and nine true fresh-men. The Troy offense also acquired former linebacker Josh Hender-son (Tallahassee, Fla.) in a trade with the defense for former receiver Martin Teal (St. Petersburg, Fla.). The key components on the receiving end will be seniors Smokey Hampton (Tallahassee, Fla.) and Toris Rutledge (Reddick, Fla.) along

with junior Gary Banks (Melvin, Ala.). All three had strong springs and established themselves as the players to beat for playing time at the three receiver spots. “Toris Rutledge had a great spring and is going to be the inside guy, the control guy,” Blakeney said. “At the end of spring practice he was catch-ing every ball. Smokey Hampton will be our X and Gary Banks is the flanker.” Behind that trio of starters, the waters are much murkier. Junior Josh Allen (Tifton, Ga.) will be employed as the fourth receiver, but will also work some out of the backfield while senior Marlo East (Sandersville, Ga.), who is more of a tradi-tional back, with fill the same type of role with more of an emphasis on the running game. That leaves sophomore Fred Turner (Mont-gomery, Ala.) as the only other receiver with

New Offense Will Have Plenty Of Targets

Smokey Hampton Gary Banks Toris Rutledge Sean Dawkinsplaying experience for the Trojans. A trio of junior college signees could help ease the load on the starters right away. “Gerald Tate (Venice, Fla.) could be another inside and outside type of guy who can run and catch the ball,” Blakeney said of the Dodge City Community College product who played alongside of Haugabook for the last two years. “I am hoping that some of those junior college players, when they get here, will be able to give us some help on both sides of the ball.” The other two junior college receivers were both late signees. Clarence Denmark (Jacksonville, Fla.) played at Mississippi Delta Community College while Mykeal Terry (Fullerton, Calif.) comes to Troy with three years of eligibility out of Santa Ana Junior College in California. A pair of redshirt freshmen – Daniel Coleman (Opp, Ala.) and Chris Lucas (Hazel Green, Ala.) – will be joined by freshman Patrick Cherry (Live Oak, Fla.), who sat out last year as a “gray” shirt, and six other true freshmen receivers in a battle for playing time behind the starters. The situation with the running game will be somewhat up in the air entering fall practice because of a pair of injuries suffered by senior Sean Dawkins (Lawrenceville, Ga.) in the spring. “He injured a knee in the last scrim-mage of the spring and he also had a hairline fracture in his foot that we didn’t know about until later,” Blakeney said. “He is trying to lose a little weight which will help him with everything. I feel like he will be ready for the season, but I am not sure how much we will be able to work him during preseason.” A healthy Dawkins gives the Trojans a

work-horse type of back who can carry the ball inside the tackles but who also has the ability to get outside and catch passes. Dawkins is also the most reliable pass protector among the returning backs. Regardless of Dawkins’ health by September, the Trojans will use a generous mix of junior Kenny Cattouse (Keyport, NJ), sophomore Anthony Jones (Pensacola, Fla.), East and Allen out of the backfield. “There are going to be a lot of variations in this offense,” Blakeney

said. “A lot will depend on who the guys wind up being and who stays healthy. If Dawkins gets well, then we will have a chance to move some guys around and give some different looks. We could have some one-back looks with Cattouse, or some different-looking sets with Dawkins and Josh Allen.” What the Trojans won’t do this fall is look like DeWhitt Betterson’s Trojans from 2003-04. While there is no set formula for passing versus running plays, the ball will be in the air more often than not this fall. “We are going to do whatever it takes to win,” Blakeney said. “It will change from week to week, but the way it looks is that we will be over 60 percent passing. A lot of those passes aren’t very long – they are extended runs and screens – so the percentage could even be higher than that. “This will be a change for us, but this change is one that we have calculated and worked on, and it is one where there has been some success within the structure of this system at other places.” While the primary focus is on the new offense, the defensive coaching staff will have its hands full in replacing seven departed starters.

DeFenSiveLine Defense Still A Primary Focus For Trojans

Kenny Mainor Jeremy Rowell Mike Pelton Franklin Lloydposition missed spring practice. Junior Sherrod Martin (Griffin, Ga.) missed spring practice after having surgery on both shoulders while senior end Boo Smith (Raleigh, N.C.) was limited to non-contact work after missing most of the 2004 and 2005 seasons with injuries suffered in two games against Missouri. “We had replacements everywhere in the spring and had to focus on everything,” co-defensive coordinator Jeremy Rowell said. “We have some guys who have played, but we will have a lot of young players and junior college transfers who will have to make an impact this fall.” The coaching staff on the defensive side also underwent changes in the spring. Mike Pelton, who will be the co-coordinator with Rowell, will coach the entire defensive line after the departure of Ricky Logo. Benjy Parker joined the staff to coach the linebackers while Brian Turner moved over to defense and coaches the safeties. Rowell will continue to work with the corners. “The entire defense will be a challenge because there are so many new faces,” Rowell said “We have a whole list of folks on the depth chart who haven’t played, and we are going to have to do a lot of growing up. It is going to be a challenge for us.” Blakeney said he will be focused during training camp on making sure the defense, which is an area the Trojans held as a strength in recent years, doesn’t slip with the focus on the offensive side of the ball. “We still have to be good on defense and in the kicking game,” Blakeney said. “We can’t take a step back in those areas and my goal is to make sure that we are as good or better in those areas as we have been in past seasons.” While facing the new passing attack the

Trojans will employ in practice, Rowell said it will be important for the defense to work against more traditional offensive sets. “We still have to concentrate on the run game to get better,” Rowell said. “We have to work against two back and tight ends be-cause we are going to see that during the season.” One emphasis for the defense in the spring was on creating turnovers. After being among the national leaders in turnovers forced for three years, the Trojans forced just 15 last year, including just five interceptions. “When you are hustling to the ball, and you are getting a lot of

guys around the ball, then you will get turn-overs,” Rowell said. “That is what we are stress-ing. The interception part of it comes from the pass rush and getting people to the passer.” Putting a strong rush on the opposing quarterback is something the Trojans were not able to do with regularity last year. Troy man-aged just 17 sacks in 2005 after posting 40 in 2004. That statistic, as much as any, produced the drop in interceptions last year. Even though Troy does not have to replace a Demarcus Ware this fall, the Trojans do have to replace a trio of departed starters as well as a returnee who will have to sit out this season to focus on academics. Only sophomore Kenny Mainor (Bruns-wick, Ga.) returns as a starter at the Bandit end position, which could be the strongest position on the defensive front if Smith, a senior, is able to bounce back this fall. Another senior who has seen considerable playing time, John Jackson (Monroe, La.), also returns as a backup at the Bandit end. The starting job at the other end position will likely be heavily contested in training camp with juniors Shawn Todd (Crestview, Fla.) and Junior Tagovailoa (Ewa Beach, Hawaii)

Experience In Secondary Key For Defense

Marcus Richardson Sherrod Martin Brannon Condren Andre Morganreturning, and junior college transfer Chris Bradwell (Alpharetta, Ga.) joining the race. Bradwell played as a freshman at Florida State before spending last year as an All-State player at Northeast Mississippi Com-munity College. A wild card in the race for playing time at end will be junior Brandon Lang (Tucker, Ga.), who originally signed with Georgia out of high school, but has spent the last three years working to get eligible at Hargrave Military Academy, Troy and a Georgia junior college. A pair of redshirt freshmen and four true freshman signees will also start out fall practice at defensive ends at a heavily-stocked position for the Trojans. The two inside line positions have five returning letterwinners, plus a standout junior college signee, lined up to battle for playing time. The only player of the bunch to have earned more than one letter is senior Franklin Lloyd (Lanett, Ala.), who has been in the Tro-jans’ regular rotation for the past three seasons, posting 80 tackles and 6.5 sacks over that time. Others figuring into the mix inside in-clude Steve McLendon (Ozark, Ala.), Maurice Coleman (Eufaula, Ala.), Suggs, Tagovailoa, David Cain (Jacksonville, Ala.) and junior college transfer Marcus Pittman (Broadway, N.C.) from Garden City Community College in Kansas where he had 58 tackles, including 15 for loss, last fall. The amount of experience at linebacker isn’t much better, with only junior strong side linebacker Marcus Richardson (Pensacola, Fla.) boasting of significant starting experi-ence. Richardson is the Trojans’ second-leading returning tackler from last year and one of only

three returning defenders to have started every game in 2005. Another senior, Andre Morgan (Garland, Texas), steps into the starting role at middle linebacker, replacing the departed Bernard Davis. Morgan has seen plenty of playing time over the last two years,

but most of it came on special teams or as a safety. He will likely get significant help from a junior college signee, Nikko Doyle (Batesville, Miss.) from Northeast Mississippi. The weakside linebacker spot, however, is wide open entering the fall. Junior Josh Maxwell (St. Mary’s, Ga.) started two games at the position in 2005 when Leverne John-son was out with a broken ankle, but will be pushed by fellow junior Romanique Lewis (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.), who has also been bitten by the injury bug over the last two years. Another junior college signee, Johnathan Reese (Americus, Ga.) from Butler County Community College in Kansas, could play a big factor in the race for playing time there. “I am hoping that some of those junior college players will be able to give us some help on both sides of the ball,” Blakeney said. On the defensive side, the secondary has the most returning experience, but also has the most players coming off injury. Martin, who was second only to Davis in tackles last year, appears to be on track to return after having surgery on both shoulders early in the year. The junior will return to free safety, where he started every game last year. Also back as a reliable starter is senior strong safety Brannon Condren (Pensacola, Fla.). He is at his best against the run, but tied for third on the squad last year in pass break-ups.

McKelvin May Become Triple Threat Weapon

Leodis McKelvin Henry Chubb Greg Whibbs Jason Wright Martin and Condren will be backed by a pair of sophomores who saw significant playing time on special teams as freshmen. Ta-vares Williams (Gainesville, Fla.) will back Martin, along with senior Derick Pendergrass (Manning, S.C.), while Terence Moore (Colum-bus, Ga.) will back up Condren. All-Sun Belt return specialist Leodis McKelvin (Waycross, Ga.) will see his role on the defense, and perhaps even offense, expand this fall despite missing half of spring practice with a broken ankle. The injury was similar to the one Johnson suffered last fall and is not expected to curtail one of the nation’s most exciting kick-return men. “We are talking about playing Leodis both ways,” Blakeney said. “After he got hurt in the spring I told him that he needed to get into the best shape of his life for this year. He will be out there for every down on defense, will return kicks and will get some snaps on offense.” The other corner spot will be manned by either sophomore Henry Chubb (Waycross, Ga.) or junior college transfer Elbert Mack (Wichita, Kan.). Chubb saw plenty of playing time on special teams last year and Mack caught the attention of the coaches during spring drills after arriving from Butler County Community College.. Both could wind up assisting McKelvin with kick return duties during the season. Another junior college transfer, Derrius Jackson (Lutcher, La.) from Chabot Community College in California, could push for play-ing time once he arrives in camp. Perhaps the biggest hole to fill for the Trojans entering 2006 will be the one left by the departure to the NFL of punter Thomas Olm-sted, who also handled kickoffs for the last two years. Senior Jason Wright (Dothan, Ala.) has patiently waited his opportunity to handle the punting duties by serving as the Trojans’ holder on kicks for the last two years, will get the first crack at the job. A junior college transfer, Adrian Vera (Conroe, Texas) from Snow College in Utah, also will get a chance to impress the coaches during training camp, as well as junior kicker Greg Whibbs (Pensacola, Fla.), who punted some during spring practice. Whibbs returns as the Trojans’ placekicker after hitting 23-of-34

field goals (67.6%) over the last two seasons. He has also hit 51-of-54 PAT kicks during that span. All three kickers, along with walk-on Sam Glusman (Mobile, Ala.), will compete to replace Olmsted on kickoffs. McKelvin, who has returned three punts and a kickoff for touchdowns over the last two seasons, will once again be primarily responsible for those two jobs. The race for the 2006 Sun Belt Conference title will likely be wide open again this fall. Blakeney said he sees just one team that stands out, but all of the rest of the league members are right behind them. “I think Louisiana-Lafayette should be picked first,” Blakeney said. “They have both quarterbacks back and should be good. After that, you can throw them all in a hat and shake them out. “I expect the two Florida schools to be better. They have both played us pretty tough, they have a lot of athletes down there and both have coaches I have a lot of respect for. I think North Texas will be a lot like us in that a lot will be determined by how the quarterback does. “It is hard to know much about Middle Tennessee with a new coaching staff. I know that I will be glad to finally get Arkansas State and Louisiana-Monroe at home because they are both very tough on their home fields.” The first hurdles for the Trojans, before Sun Belt play, will come against a non-conference schedule that will be the most challenging a Troy team has ever faced. “Alabama State always comes to play against Troy, and we have had some shootouts with them in the past,” Blakeney said. “We won’t be able to hold anything back against them, but that does not mean we won’t prepare to win against the other teams that follow on the schedule.” Road trips to Florida State, Georgia Tech, Nebraska and UAB on consecutive weekends may seem daunting when taken together, but taken one at a time, Blakeney said you can never tell what might happen. “We will go into each of those games with a plan we feel gives us the best chance to win,” Blakeney said. “We have played with, and beaten, teams like that in the past, and we are going to go take our best shot against those teams this year.”

2006 Personnel Summary

��

Larry Blakeney is a winner. Always has been.From his time as a quarterback at Auburn, to his highly suc-

cessful high school coaching career, to his 14 years as an assistant coach at his alma mater when the Tigers enjoyed an unprecedented run of success, Blakeney has always been associated with winning and a job well done.

His tenure at Troy has been nothing less. During his 15 years as head coach, he has led the Trojans to a 119-60-1 record, better than any other program in Alabama during that span.

Already the school's longest-serving and winningest head coach of all time, Blakeney has led the Troy football program to an unequaled run of success that has taken the Trojans from Division II, to Division I-AA, and now to the grandest stage of all - Division I-A. They took another leap last year earning a 7-5 record and the school’s first-ever bowl bid with a trip to the Silicon Valley Classic. The grand unveiling of a renovated Movie Gallery Stadium was a 24-14 upset of Missouri that was televised live by ESPN.

In 2003, the Trojans posted a 6-6 mark against one of the most challenging schedules in the nation, which included eight road games and contests against traditional powers Kansas State, Minnesota, Nebraska and Virginia. In addition, the Trojans faced and defeated Marshall and UAB and played four schools from the Sun Belt Conference. In 2003, Troy defeated four Division I-A foes, the most in school history in a single season.

The Trojans played their first official season as a I-A member in 2002 after going 7-4 in their I-A “transition' season in 2001. Included in the 2001 win total were three wins over I-A foes and a monumental upset of Southeastern Conference power Mississippi State, the school's first win over a BCS-conference school. Of the team's four losses, three came against opponents ranked in the top 15 nationally - national runner-up Nebraska, 15th-ranked Maryland

and national champion Miami.In 2002, the Trojans were 4-8 against

a schedule that included games against two SEC schools, three Big 12 opponents, in-state rival UAB and perennial bowl par-ticipant Marshall. The Troy defense finished fourth in the nation in total defense in 2002 despite the challenging slate.

While a Division I-AA member, the Trojans enjoyed their most successful run in school history. Over eight seasons, the Trojans advanced to the national semifinals twice and the I-AA postseason seven times, including a NCAA-record four consecutive seasons after making the move to I-AA in 1993.

When the Trojans jumped to Division I-A status, Blakeney again made NCAA his-tory — becoming one of only two coaches to lead a program from Division II to Division

I-A, joining UCF’s Gene McDowell.Blakeney’s journey began on Dec. 3, 1990, when he was hired

as the 20th head coach in school history. During the 1980s, Troy won two Division II national championships, but the program was a rebuilding project upon Blakeney’s arrival. In the three years prior to him accepting the job, the Trojans had combined for a 13-17 record.

His first two sea-sons came during the transition period in the move to I-AA status. The program was still technically Division II, although it was not allowed to com-pete in the playoffs. Blakeney’s first squad finished 5-6, but a 10-1 second year, which included a 41-7 win over I-A member Arkansas State, gave Troy fans a glimpse of what was to come.

Troy hit its first full season of I-AA play running in 1993 when Blakeney led the Trojans to a 12-1-1 finish and a berth in the I-AA semifinals. The 10-0-1 regular-season finish was the program’s first undefeated sea-

son in school history while playing a complete schedule. Troy finished the regular season ranked No. 1 in the country by the Sports Network.

The following season brought an 8-4 record and another berth in the playoffs. The Trojans lost in the first round at James Madison, but they proved they deserved a spot among the elite programs, finishing the year ranked 12th.

The 1995 season brought the first unbeaten and untied regular season to the school annals when Troy took an 11-0 record into the postseason before losing in the first round to Georgia Southern. Troy entered the playoffs ranked No. 3 in the nation that season.

For all of the success the team enjoyed in its first three I-AA seasons, Blakeney’s rebuilding skills were displayed once again during the 1996 season after the loss of 23 seniors from the 1995 squad. Going into its first season of play in the Southland Football League, the Trojans won the league, posting a 5-1 mark and a 10-1 overall record. Troy finished the year 12-2 and again marched to the I-AA semifinals. That netted a fourth-place fin-ish in the Sports Network Top 25 and a No. 12 ranking in the ESPN/USA Today poll.

The 1996 seniors certainly left their mark, finishing their careers as the all-time winningest class at

Troy with a 438-1 mark over four years. That eclipsed the 1995 senior class that had amassed a 41-7-1 record. Those groups represented Blakeney’s first two recruiting classes at Troy.

The Trojans became the first team in NCAA history to advance to the I-AA playoffs in their first four seasons of eligibility and finished with seven playoff berths in eight full seasons of I-AA membership.

Untimely injuries and four losses by seven points or less doomed the 1997 team as it slipped to a 5-6 record despite an early-season ranking that saw the Trojans rise as high as No. 2 nationally. A return to the I-AA playoffs in 1998 highlighted an 8-4 season that saw the Trojans finish 11th (Sports Network) and 13th (ESPN/USA Today) in the polls.

The Trojans climbed back to the top of the charts in 1999, when Troy was the consen-sus No. 1 in the country for a four-week period en route to finishing 11-2 overall and winning the Southland Football League title. The Trojans also advanced to the I-AA quarterfinals and finished with a

No. 6 ranking in all three polls. Senior defensive lineman Al Lucas

became the first national player of the year in school history by win-ning the Buck Buchanan Award as the top I-AA defensive player.

In 2000, the Trojans won their third Southland Football League title and finished with a 10-2 overall record before losing in the first round of the I-AA playoffs to Appalachian State. They still fin-ished the season ranked in the Top 10 in all three I-AA polls.

Blakeney won back-to-back SFL Coach of the Year awards in 1999 and 2000 and also was honored as a regional Coach of the Year in back-to-back years by the American Football Coaches Association. During the sum-mer of 2000, he was honored with the Johnny Vaught Lifetime Achievement Award by the All-American Football Foundation.

And while success has certain-ly been a mainstay of the Trojans on the field, numerous Troy play-ers have parlayed their ability into

professional careers as well. A dozen players have been selected in the NFL Draft during Blakeney’s Troy career, three in the past three years — Demarcus Ware (first round by the Dallas Cowboys in 2005), Osi Umenyiora (second round by the New York Giants in 2003) and Davern Williams (seventh round by the Miami Dolphins in 2003). Even more impressive is that 44 additional players have signed professional football free agent deals, with 26 of those com-ing in the NFL. Seven came from the 2004 squad with another pair coming from 2003.

Prior to arriving in Troy, Blakeney had a variety of roles in his 14 seasons at Auburn. He began his career as the assistant offensive

Since Larry Blakeney became head coach at Troy in 1991, the Trojans are the state’s winningest program, having posted a .661 winning percentage with 119 wins.

line coach during the 1977 and 1978 seasons. That was followed by stints with the Tigers’ tight ends and wide receivers from 1978-80 and then a focus strictly on wide receivers from 1981-90.

From 1986-90, Blakeney was also the Tigers’ offensive play caller. During that time, Auburn posted a 47-10-3 record and won three Southeastern Conference titles. The Tigers were 3-1-1 in bowl games over that span.

Auburn had a 110-50-3 record during Blakeney’s years with the program. That record includes four SEC Championships and nine bowl appearances (6-2-1). In 1990, he was honored by the Chilton County Auburn Club with its “Unsung Hero Award.”

Before joining the coaching staff at his alma mater, Blakeney

coached seven seasons in the Alabama high school ranks. He was the head coach at Southern Academy (1970-71), Walker High School (1972-74) and Vestavia Hills High School (1975-76), com-piling a 50-24-2 record.

A 1970 graduate of Auburn with a bachelor’s degree in business administration, Blakeney was a three-year letterman at quarterback for the legendary Ralph “Shug” Jordan from 1966-69. He was the first sophomore ever to start for Jordan, and Auburn played in two bowl games during Blakeney’s career. The 1968 team defeated Arizona 34-10 in the Sun Bowl, while the 1969 squad lost 36-7 to Houston in the Bluebonnet Bowl.

Blakeney was a two-sport star for the Tigers. He also lettered in baseball in 1968 and 1969, playing shortstop and third base for head coach Paul Nix. He earned his master’s degree in education from the University of Montevallo in 1976.

He was born on Sept. 21, 1947, in Birmingham, Ala., but grew up in nearby Gordo, Ala., where he played football, baseball and basketball at Gordo High School.

He is married to the former Janice Powell. The couple has three daughters, Kelley, and twins Julie and Tiffany. Kelley, a graduate of Troy University and the University of Alabama-Birmingham medical school, is fulfilling her residency at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta. Julie, a Troy marketing graduate, works for an insurance firm in Birmingham. Tiffany, who gradu-ated with an international business degree from Troy, lives with her husband, Jason Rash, in Atlanta. The Blakeneys have two granddaughters, three-year-old Caroline Elizabeth Taylor and two-year old Madeline Ann Rash.

Tony Franklin joins the Troy foot-ball staff with a diversified background that includes experiences in football, writing and business. He will serve as the Trojans’ offensive coordinator and quar-terbacks coach.

Franklin joined the University of Kentucky football staff in 1997 following 16 years as a high school football coach. During his four-year tenure at UK, the Wildcats enjoyed unprecedented success on the offensive side of the ball, includ-ing setting several NCAA, SEC and school records.

After coaching running backs for three seasons, Franklin was named offensive coordinator for the 2000 sea-son and led the Wildcats to the nation’s 2nd best passing offense, as well as the nation’s 11th best team in total offense.

Franklin was also named one of the top ten recruiters in the South during his four years at Kentucky. He helped lead the Wildcats to their first back-to-back bowl appearances in 15 years and their first New Year’s Bowl game appearance in 50 seasons.

In 2001, Franklin authored a nationally acclaimed book, Fourth Down and Life To Go, which chronicled the good, bad and ugly experi-ences of his college football journey.

In 2003, Franklin was chosen to lead the expansion franchise Lexington Horsemen football team in their inaugural season in the NIFL. The Horsemen exceeded expectations for an expansion franchise and earned a birth in the playoffs with a 9-5 record. The franchise set records for attendance and led the Atlantic Division in passing offense and scor-ing, at more than 50 points per game.

USA Today took notice of Franklin’s football coaching and teaching abilities in a feature story in 2005 which detailed his consulting successes as a nationally sought after offensive football coach.

Franklin also received rave reviews for his second book, Victor’s Victory, which chronicled the tragic death and spectacular life of 15-

year-old Hoover High football player, Victor Dionte Hill. Hill died from sudden cardiac arrest on the football practice field during one of Franklin’s consulting sessions. The book has helped to continue the mission of Cheryl Hill, Victor’s mother, to make teachers, coaches and parents aware of the need for automatic external defibrillators (AED’s) in every school and youth organization in Alabama.

Franklin brings a wide-open offensive attack to Troy, spreading the ball to players in an unusually fast-paced, no huddle scheme. The offensive philosophy also features the running backs by getting the ball to them in several methods.

Franklin’s two-back combinations at Kentucky out gained any two-back combinations in the SEC in total yards from scrimmage for three straight seasons. Quarterbacks Tim Couch, Dusty Bonner and Jared Lorenzen each led the SEC in passing during their tenure as UK’s quarterback, and Couch was the first player selected in the 1999 NFL draft. Several other UK players reached their goals in making

NFL teams after their experience in the high powered offense.

Franklin achieved both his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in education from Murray State University where he was a two-year start-er as a running back. He is married to Laura Franklin, and they have three girls: Chelsea (21), Caroline (18), and Caitlin (17).

Mike Pelton is begin-ning his sixth season with the Trojans over-all and his fourth working in his current capacity with the defensive ends. In the spring of 2006, Pelton was promoted to co-defensive coordinator. In his short time here, Pelton has helped produce two of the most dominant rush ends in school history in Demarcus Ware, drafted in the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys and Osi Umenyiora, drafted in the second round of the 2004 draft by the New York Giants. Both players received various all-conference and all-independent honors under his tutelage.

During Pelton’s tenure, the Trojan defense has been consistently among the national leaders in several defensive categories. It ranked eighth nationally in rushing defense and 16th in total defense during the 2004 season after coming in 26th and 39th, respectively,

in those categories the year before. In 2002, the Trojan defense finished ranked fourth nationally in total defense, allowing just 276.83 yards per game to opponents. The Trojans were also ranked 11th in pass defense, allowing 171.58 yards per game and 13th in rushing defense (105.25 ypg). In scoring defense, the Trojans ranked 30th, allowing only 21 points per contest. The Trojans allowed just 276.83 yards per game to opponents in 12 games, ranking behind only Texas Christian (240.25), Kansas State (249) and Alabama (257.31), respectively.

In 2001, Pelton coached two of the team’s top seven tacklers in juniors Jose Gamboa and Davern Williams, who finished with 65 and 61

stops, respectively, leading all line-men. Williams was taken in the seventh round of the 2003 NFL Draft by the Miami Dolphins.

Pelton worked at Troy as a graduate assistant in 1999 and then returned to the Trojans in 2001 after spending a season as the defensive line coach at Division II powerhouse Valdosta State.

A four-year letterwin-ner at Auburn from 1991-94, Pelton earned first-team All-southeastern Conference and second-team All-American honors in 1994. During his career, the Tigers won a school-record 20 consecutive games during his final two seasons and posted an 11-0 record in 1993. While at Auburn, Pelton was the recipient of the Zeke Smith Award as the team’s Defensive Player of the Year in 1994. He once recorded 23 tackles in a game against Vanderbilt, on Oct. 12, 1991, which is tied for third most in school history.

At Valdosta State in 2000, Pelton helped coach a defensive unit that finished second in the conference in pass defense. The Blazers posted a 10-2 record and finished in a three-way tie for the confer-ence championship with Delta State and West Georgia. They lost to eventual national champion Delta State in the first round of the Division II playoffs. Pelton has also worked two summers as part of the NFL’s Minority Internship program, work-ing with the Atlanta Falcons in 2002 and the Washington Redskins in 2004.

A native of Goshen, Ala., Pelton was drafted

in the fifth round by the Kansas City Chiefs in the 1995 NFL Draft. He moved to the Indianapolis Colts a year later as a free agent.

He has a daugh-ter, Myesa. Pelton is married to the former Staci Brown.

Jeremy Rowell begins his tenth year on the Troy coaching staff. He was promoted to co-defensive coordinator last spring after five seasons overseeing the defensive backfield.

Under Rowell, the Trojans have flourished in the defensive backfield, becoming one of the mainstays of a stingy Troy defense. In 2004, the Trojans finished sixth in the country in pass efficiency defense (100.56) and 16th in total defense (311.00 yards). Their 32 turnovers gained were tied for second in the country, while the turn-over margin of +0.92 tied for 10th. In 2003, despite returning just four start-ers, the defense ranked sixth nationally in turnovers gained (35), 26th in rush-ing defense (125.5 yards), 44th in pass efficiency defense (117.59) and 39th in total defense (349.67 yards). Defensive back Derrick Ansley finished third in the nation in interceptions in 2003 behind Miami’s Sean Taylor and Nebraska’s Josh Bullocks after leading the category for much of the season.

Ansley tallied nine interceptions, earning College Football News All-Independent honors as well as mention on the ESPN.com All-Independent team. Rayshun Reed joined Ansley on both all-indepen-dent teams and earned an invitation to participate in the Blue-Gray All-Star Football Classic on Christmas Day.

The trend started in 2001 when Rowell moved to the secondary after coaching wide receivers for two seasons. Reed was selected as an All-Independent performer by College Football News, while several players posted career seasons. Leading the pack was Reed, who shifted from corner to safety and finished with 57 total stops and a team-best six interceptions. Two of those were returned for touchdowns.

The 2002 defense ranked fourth nationally in total defense. The Trojans allowed just 276.83 yards per game to opponents in 12 games, ranking behind only Texas Christian (240.25), Kansas State (249) and

Alabama (257.31), respectively. Troy was ranked 11th in pass defense, allowing 171.58 yards per game, and 13th in rushing defense (105.25 ypg). In scoring defense, the Trojans ranked 30th, allowing only 21 points per contest.

The Crestview, Fla., native began his coaching career with the Trojans in 1997, when he assisted with the team’s wide receivers. He worked with the 1998 Troy secondary that tied for the Southland Football League lead with 13 intercep-tions. He then returned to the offensive side of the ball in 1999 and 2000.

Former Trojan Mareno Philyaw earned second-team All-Southland Football League honors in 1999 and was drafted in the sixth round by the Atlanta Falcons in the 2000 NFL Draft. Rowell coached Jonathan Carter to All-America and all-con-ference honors status, later seeing the receiver taken by the New York Giants in the fifth round of the 2001 NFL Draft.

A solid field general during his playing career, Rowell is considered one of the top quarterbacks in school history. He led Troy to a 19-3 regular-season record as a starter in 1994 and 1995. With Rowell under center, the Trojans advanced to the Division I-AA playoffs both seasons. During his senior year, the Trojans finished with the only perfect (11-0) regular season in school history.

A graduate of Troy with a bachelor’s degree in math and physical science and a master’s degree in Foundations of Education, Rowell accounted for 3,300 passing yards in his career with 22 touchdowns. He holds the school record with 15 rush-

ing touchdowns in a season, set in 1994, and finished with 20 in his career. He also set the record with 90 points during the 1994 season. Rowell was a first-team all-state quarterback at Crestview High School in 1990.

Rowell married in the summer of 2006 to the former Jessica Owens of Luverne.

James Joseph begins his third season as the running backs coach at Troy. He joined the staff in February 2004 after eight seasons as an assistant coach at Auburn High School.

Joseph is no stranger to big-time football, however, having played five seasons in the NFL in the mid-1990s following his standout career at Auburn University from 1986-90.

Joseph played for the Tigers while head coach Larry Blakeney was an assistant coach there, starting a relationship that has paid great dividends when the Trojans had a coaching vacancy prior to the 2004 season.

Joseph played in parts of five seasons at Auburn, helping lead the Tigers to three consecutive Southeastern Conference championships in 1988, 1989 and 1990. Auburn participated in five bowls games during his career: the Citrus (1986), Sugar (1987 and 1988), Hall of Fame (1989) and Peach (1990). Joseph also holds the distinction of being the only player in Auburn his-tory to participate in five Auburn-Tennessee football games. During his sophomore season in 1987, Joseph was injured during the game between the two teams and missed the remainder of the season, later earning a medical red-shirt. He returned to play in the game again in 1988, 1989 and 1990.

Joseph still ranks eighth in school history in career rushing yards with 2,264 yards on 452 carries. He also scored 16 career touchdowns for the Tigers.

Following a stellar career on the Plains, Joseph went on to play five seasons in the NFL, four for the Philadelphia Eagles and one for the Cincinnati Bengals. The Eagles selected him in the seventh round of the 1991 NFL Draft. As a rookie Joseph tallied 440 yards on 135 carries.

During his career, he rushed 250 times for 823 yards and three touch-downs.

After completing his NFL career, Joseph returned to school and began his coaching career. He earned his bachelor’s degree in Human Development from Auburn in 1997, while working at AHS. There, he worked with former Trojans Demarcus Ware (Dallas Cowboys), Branden Hall (Detroit Lions) and Osi Umenyiora (New York Giants), who

all played at Auburn High while Joseph was an assistant coach.

He has three children, Jonathan (13), Jeremy (10) and Jamey (7).

Brian Turner is in his fourth year as a coach for the Trojans. He will be coaching the safeties after threes seasons of working with tight ends. Turner also oversees all of the recruit-ing responsibilities.

Turner, who was a guard and cen-ter for the Trojans in 1994 and 1995, previously worked with the offense, focusing primarily on tight ends and wide receivers.

During Turner’s playing career, the Trojans posted a 31-6-1 record, includ-ing the school’s first perfect regular-sea-son (11-0) in 1995. The 1994 and 1995 squads advanced to the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs.

His first full-time appointment came in 2002, when he spent a year as offensive line coach at North Alabama before returning for his current assignment.

This is his second stint on the coaching staff as he served as a graduate assistant coach with the program from 1999 to 2001. During those two years, five players earned all-conference honors in the Southland Football League -- tight ends Adrian Moore and Lenny Lucas and wide receivers Jonathan Carter, Mareno Philyaw and Pop Williams.

More recently, Turner worked with Joe Munson, who signed with the Miami Dolphins in 2004, and helped Moore earn All-Independent honors from ESPN.com as a

senior in 2004. Turner comes from an athletic back-

ground. His father Blaine played football at University of Tampa and later coached high school football for 30 years in the state of Florida. His brother, John, played at Jacksonville State and coached at Auburn and Clemson and is now an assistant coach at Tennessee-Chattanooga. His sis-ter, Kristen, was a Tampa Bay Buccaneers cheerleader for five years. The Fort Meade, Fla., native completed his degree in social science in 2000.

Brown came to Sacred Heart after working as tight ends coach and offensive line assistant at the University of Massachusetts in 2002 and 2003, helping to lead the Minutemen to a share of the Atlantic 10 title and a berth in the NCAA I-AA playoffs in 2003.

A 2002 Massachusetts graduate with a degree in business management, Brown earned two letters as a wide receiver at UMass, catching 58 passes for 721 yards and four touchdowns. He was named to the A-10 All-Academic team and the I-AA Athletic Director’s Academic

Shayne Wasden enters his third season on the Troy football staff and in the collegiate ranks. He joined the staff in May 2004 fol-lowing a successful career as a high school head coach in Alabama. His last post at that level was at Eufaula High School.

In 12 seasons as a high school head coach, Wasden’s teams posted a 91-34 record and advanced to postseason play 11 times. His final team finished 11-1 and was ranked No. 1 in Class 5A to end the regular season. He was selected as head coach of the South All-Star squad for the 2004 Alabama Coaches All-Star game but was unable to complete his duties after accepting his position with the Trojans.

The 37-year-old came to Troy as a famil-iar face for several of the Trojan coaches, having played wide receiver for Troy head coach Larry Blakeney at Auburn in the late 1980s. He was also a teammate of current Trojan assistant and former Tiger running back James Joseph during that same time period. Wasden earned three letters for the Tigers and played in three bowl games from 1987-90. He finished his career with 65 catches for 624 yards and two touchdowns, while averaging 8.7 yards over 82 punt returns. His most memorable catch came against Florida in 1989, when he caught a 25-yard scoring pass from Reggie Slack with 26 sec-onds remaining to give the Tigers a come-from-behind win. He was named to the Knoxville News-Sentinel Freshman All-SEC team in 1988.

In high school, Wasden was a standout quarterback and defensive back for his father, Bobby Wasden, at Meadowview Christian School in Selma, Ala. He rushed for 3,803 yards (9.5 average) and passed for more than 3,700 yards and 50 touch-downs in his career. During that time, the Trojans compiled a 42-3 record with a pair of state championships. He was selected

as a member of the Montgomery Advertiser’s “Dynamite Dozen” as a senior and also earned first-team all-state honors as a defensive back that season.

Following his playing career at Auburn, Wasden entered the coach-ing ranks immedi-ately, serving as an assistant coach for a season in his home-town at Georgiana High School before being promoted to head coach at GHS in 1993. He led the Class 2A Panthers to a 23-2 mark as head coach in two seasons, including a trip to the state semifinals before moving to Opp High School in 1995. He posted a record of 34-21 with the Bobcats, making the playoffs in four of his five seasons before mov-ing to Eufaula in 2000.

Coaching comes naturally to the Wasden family. In addition to his father, who coached for more than 35 years, his brother, Tommy,

Quarterback Josh Padrick

The Sun Belt Conference is one of only 11 NCAA conferences to participate in Division I-A football and will enter its 31st season in 2006-2007 with a proud history of athletic and academic success. The conference sponsors 10 women’s sports - basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball; and nine men’s sports – baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, swim-ming and diving, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field. Each of the 19 sports has seen numerous team and indi-vidual accomplishments, and 11 Sun Belt Conference schools are currently graduating its student athletes at a rate higher than

their school’s student body. All Sun Belt schools are committed to excel-lence in the 21st century, and facility upgrades and expansion are occur-ring on virtually every campus. Because of its status as a member of the Division I-A football coalition, the Sun Belt Conference has a permanent seat on the NCAA’s 16-member Board of Directors. As a result, the conference has a crucial voice on some of the most pressing issues in college athletics and will always have a role in the implemen-tation of any future NCAA legisla-tion and guidelines. The conference continues to utilize television to grow and promote the league. Adding volleyball and base-

ball to the conference’s television package resulted in more national and regional television exposure for the league in 2005-2006 than at any time in its history, while ESPN televised the conference’s men’s basketball championship game for the 26th straight season in 2006. The Sun Belt Conference has partnered with XOS Technologies, Inc. to deliver a full-service, customized, public and premium web site to provide fans with a broad range of real-time information and content about the conference’s athletic teams. The Sun Belt was the only conference in the nation in 2005-06 to provide video highlights and features on its website from each of the league’s respective championships. This technology enables anyone in the world with internet access to view the con-ference’s championship events, and fans in five different countries viewed the 2005 soccer championships. Prominent Sun Belt alumni include United States Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (Denver), NFL Hall of Fame football player “Mean” Joe Greene (North Texas), Arizona Diamondbacks All-Star baseball player Luis Gonzalez (South Alabama), former member of the United States Senate and House of Representatives John Breaux (Louisiana-Lafayette), country music superstar Tim McGraw (Louisiana-Monroe), and actor Andy Garcia (Florida International). The conference’s first 30 years have also produced numerous indi-vidual national champions along with Olympic track medalists includ-ing Earl Bell, Tom Hill and Al Joyner (Arkansas State), Hollis Conway (Louisiana-Lafayette), and Tayna Lawrence (Florida International).

Old Dominion’s Anne Donovan received the Naismith Trophy recognizing the nation’s top women’s basketball player in 1983, helped the United States win the Olympic gold medal in 1984, and helped the Lady Monarchs capture the national cham-pionship in 1985 (one of eight women’s Final 4 appearances by Sun Belt schools: Old Dominion - 1983, 1985; Western Kentucky – 1985, 1986, 1992; Louisiana Tech – 1994, 1998, 1999). Sun Belt teams have also participated in the men’s NCAA Final 4 (UNC-Charlotte in 1977), the College World Series (Louisiana-Lafayette in 2000), the women’s College World Series (Louisiana-Lafayette in 1993, 1995, 1996, 2003), and had 10 play-ers selected in the first round of the NBA Draft. The Sun Belt Conference is led by Commissioner Wright Waters, who is in his eighth full year as commissioner. He was named the conference’s fourth commissioner in December of 1998 following the tenures of Vic Bubas (1976-1990), Jim Lessig (1990-1991), and Craig Thompson (1991-1998). The league’s annual all sports champion is awarded the Vic Bubas Cup, named after the con-ference’s first commissioner. The conference office has been head-quartered in downtown New Orleans since 2000 after moving from subur-ban Metairie, La., where it had been based since 1991. Prior to moving to the “Big Easy,” the league was based in Tampa, Fla., from 1977-1991. The original con-ference office was located in Charlotte, N.C., from 1976-77.

TROY 27, CAL POLY 10Sept. 3, 2005 - Movie Gallery Stadium - Troy, AL

TROY, Ala. -- Joel Whinghter capped a five-play, 62-yard drive with a 15-yard touchdown run on Troy’s first possession of the game. Greg Whibbs’ kick gave Troy (1-0) a 7-0 lead with 11:18 left in the first quar-ter. Four plays later, Cal Poly (0-1) faked a punt on fourth-and-14, but Troy’s Brannon Condren brought down Mustangs quarterback John Mende for a loss of one, giving the Trojans possession at the Cal Poly 15. Whibbs gave the Trojans a 10-0 lead with a 34-yard field goal with 3:20 remaining in the quarter. Facing fourth-and-six from their own 24, the Mustangs attempted another fake punt on their next possession. Troy’s Johnny Faulk brought down Tim Chicoine for a loss of six, giving Troy the ball inside the Cal Poly 20 for the second straight possession. The Trojans capitalized six plays later when Kenny Cattouse scored on a four-yard run, putting Troy up 17-0 with 3:20 left in the quarter. “I was surprised, but I was glad it happened.” Troy head coach Larry Blakeney said of the two fake punt attempts. “We capitalized on those mistakes.” Cal Poly did the only scoring in the second quarter, cutting Troy’s lead to 17-10 with a one-yard touchdown run by Jonah Russell with 7:35 left in the half and a 19-yard field goal by Nick Coromelas with 1:09 on the clock. Cal Poly stopped Troy on the next possession and threatened to cut the Trojans’ lead to four, but Caromelas’ 49-yard field goal attempt sailed wide left as the half expired. Troy’s Leodis McKelvin took the second half ’s opening kick off out of the endzone and returned it 42 yards, setting the Trojans up for three points. Whibbs ended the drive with a 35-yard field goal, putting Troy up 20-10 with 8:48 left in the third quarter. The Trojans added some insurance late in the contest when Cal Poly fumbled on a punt return and Troy recovered on Cal Poly’s 23. The Trojans converted the turnover into seven points when Meadows con-nected with Gary Banks on a 21-yard touchdown pass to go up with 2:43 to play. Meadows completed 14-of-31 for 213 yards with one touchdown and one interception in his first start for Troy. “Carl was tough tonight and he took some shots,” Blakeney said. “We had a few missed protection situa-tions, but Carl stood tall and did an admiral job. I know that he has some throws that the would like to take back, but he will get better.” Banks was Troy’s leading receiver with five receptions for 63 yards and one touchdown. Smokey Hampton had one catch for 49 yards, and Josh Allen had three catches for Josh Allen. Cal Poly’s Matt Brennan completed six of 10 attempts for 33 yards and one interception. Mende completed 4-of-5 for 35 yards, with a long of 34. Brennan was Cal Poly’s leading rusher with 33 yards on 10 carries. Martinez finished with 26 yards on seven carries, and Russell finished with 23 yards on 11 carries. Anthony Randolph was Cal Poly’s leading receiver with 30 yards on two catches. Torre Lankford led Troy with 5.5 tackles, including one sack for a loss of nine yards. Brannon Condren finished with 4.5 tackles, and Larry Brown had four tackles, including a sack for an eight-yard loss. Johnny Faulk came up with his 10th career interception when he picked off a pass by Brennan in the fourth quarter. Mark Restelli led Cal Poly with 5.5 tackles, and Randy Samuel added

five. Matt Chachere finished with four tackles, including 1.5 sacks for a loss of 17 yards. Kenny Chicoine had one interception for the Mustangs. “I have to tip my hat to Cal Poly,” Blakeney said. “They are well-coached and they competed the whole game. They have speed on defense. We are a young team and we have to spend time correcting our mistakes.” “Troy will be a better team every time they play,” Cal Poly head coach Rich Ellerson said. “They have a lot of guys who are playing a lot for the first time. They were better than us tonight, and it would be worse later on. They had a lot of young guys playing, that will really help them.”

UAB 27, TROY 7Sept. 10, 2005 - Movie Gallery Stadium - Troy, AL

TROY, Ala. -- The UAB Blazers took advantage of two first-quarter interceptions, using the Troy miscues to build a 14-0 lead on the way to a 27-7 win over the Trojans. The loss snapped a 10-game home win streak for the Trojans, as they had won every contest in Movie Gallery Stadium since a 19-16 overtime loss to Utah State on November 16, 2002. The Trojans (1-1) struggled offensively, tallying just 190 yards in the game and turning the ball over four times. “Our offense was playing defense from the offensive side,” Troy head coach Larry Blakeney said. “We let them dictate the action instead of taking action.” UAB (1-1) gained 460 total yards, 296 com-ing from the arm of senior quarterback Darrell Hackney. “Hackney is well-oiled, smooth and continu-ous. He has good fundamentals, takes care of the ball, makes the right reads and does not make mistakes,” Blakeney said. “I knew he would be a factor coming into the game.” It didn’t take long for things to go against the Trojans. With 8:05 left in the first quarter, UAB’s Orlandus King inter-cepted a pass from Meadows to give the Blazers the ball on Troy’s 33. On third and five, Hackney found Reggie Lindsey in the endzone to cap an eight-play drive. The extra point by Parker Mullins put UAB up 7-0 with 3:11 left in the first quarter. Three plays later, Larry McSwain picked off a pass from Meadows on the Troy 23 and returned it for a touchdown, giving UAB a 14-0 advantage with 2:05 left in the first period. Mullins tacked on another three points to the Blazers’ lead when he capped off a 14-play, 77-yard drive with a 19-yard field goal with 10:37 left in the first half. After holding the Trojans to three-and-out, UAB’s Kyle Bissinger and Jhun Cook blocked a Thomas Olmsted punt to give the Blazers the ball on Troy’s 19. It looked as if UAB would extend their lead to 24-0 when Hackney hit a wide-open Corey White for a score on a third and goal from the 19, but the play was called back on a holding penalty. On the ensuing play from the 29, Hackney’s pass fell out of Lindsey’s hands in the back of the endzone. The Blazers failed to capitalize on the blocked punt when Mullins’ 46-yard field goal try sailed wide right. After the break, Mullins ended a 10-play, 66-yard drive with hit a 20-yard field goal that gave the Blazers a 20-0 lead with 9:52 left in the third quarter. Leodis McKelvin put the Trojans on the board with a his third career punt return for touchdown, this one covering 73 yards with 4:51 remain-ing in the third quarter. UAB struck right back, with Trey Chaney taking a Hackney pass 12 yards into the endzone to cap a 78-yard drive and put the Blazers up 27-7 with 1:21 left in the third quarter. Troy started to put together a drive, using two completions to Smokey Hampton and another to James Early Cray to reach the UAB 30 early in the fourth quarter. The drive ended when UAB forced another turnover, as Will Evans picked off a Meadows pass to give the Blazers the ball at their own 19. The Trojans only entered UAB territory once more in the game, reaching the Blazer 38 before turn-ing the ball over on the fourth interception of the game. Meadows finished the game 12-of-26 for 164 yards and four interceptions. Whingter led the Trojans on the ground with 29 yards on seven carries. Hampton was Troy’s leading receiver with 90 yards on four catches. Hackney threw for 296 yards and two touchdowns in the game, completing 25-of-38 attempts and connecting with 10 different Blazers throughout the game. White led the Blazers with 96 yards on 18 carries, and Chaney added 77 yards on 15 carries. Lindsey led the Blazers in rush-

ing with 79 yards and one touchdown on six catches.

MISSOURI 52, TROY 21Sept. 17, 2005 - Faurot Field - Columbia, MO

Columbia, Mo. – Missouri quarterback Brad Smith completed 23 of 33 passes for 183 yards and a touchdown and ran for 79 yards and another score as the Tigers avenged last season’s upset loss at Troy 52-21. The Trojans (1-2) battled to a 20-7 deficit in the first half, but were outscored 25-7 by Mizzou (2-1) in a decisive third quarter. “We had a chance there but squandered it at the beginning of the second half with a turnover and a punt return back-to-back that took us out of the game,” Troy coach Larry Blakeney said. “We did some good things, but not enough. We are young and we got a pretty good whipping today.” The Trojan offense established a new season high with 334 yards of total offense, including a season best of 260 through the air. Quarterback Carl Meadows completed 16 of 28 passing attempts for 199 yards and a touchdown. He also ran for a score. Smokey Hampton established new career highs for receptions (10) and receiving yards (87), while Kenny Cattouse ran eight times for a team-high 41 yards. “We are searching for things right now offen-sively,” Meadows said. “We made some key mistakes on offense, turning the ball over, and penalties stopped our momentum throughout the game. There are a lot of good things that can come from this game, we just have to build on it going into next week.” Following punts by both teams, Mizzouri’s Tony Temple opened the scoring with a 59-yard run to paydirt. Just four minutes later, the Tigers capitalized on a blocked punt to increase their lead to 10-0. A 22-yard field goal by Adam Crossett capped an eight-play, 28-yard drive. “On the blocked punt we didn’t call our gunner in, which is something we do every time,” Blakeney said. “We didn’t do it and we didn’t have enough guys to block the scheme they presented. That is death. It makes everyone sick and wanting to throw up when that happens. We have to do better than that.” The Trojans cut into the deficit before the quarter ended. Meadows found Toris Rutledge in the corner of the endzone. The 33-yard pass play was the finishing touch to the longest drive of the season, 76 yards, and made the score 10-7 with 4:01 to play in the period. Troy rushed eight straight times, with a MU pass interference penalty mixed in, before the final play. The second quarter was all Missouri as the Tigers increased the lead to 20-7 by intermission. Smith was instrumental in both drives, tossing a 10-yard pass to Brad Ekwerekwu for a score with 2:30 left, then converting two straight third-down attempts to set up a 42-yard Crossett field goal. “They are a great team offensively,” Trojans linebacker Bernard Davis said. “Brad Smith is a great player, very athletic. Their running backs did a great job of finding creases in our defense and taking advantage of our mistakes. We had a blocked punt and a punt return, a fumble, and you can’t make those kind of mistakes against a great team.” Troy tried to answer with a final drive before the half, moving 28 yards in the final 24 seconds, but Greg Whibbs saw his career-long 51-yard field goal attempt at the gun hit the crossbar and fall back into the endzone. Missouri needed just two touches of the ball in the third quarter to explode for 14 points. A Meadows’ fumble on the first play of the half gave the Tigers possession at the Troy 13, where Smith started a touchdown run around left end on the first snap. After holding the Trojans on three plays, Marcus Woods returned the punt 73 yards for a touchdown. Meadows capped an eight-play, 80 yard drive with a one-yard quarter-back sneak at the 9:06 mark, but Missouri tallied the next 17 points to open a 52-14 lead. The final score of the game came on Josh Allen’s first career

touchdown reception. He hauled in a 17-yard pass from Larry Dockery with 1:01 remaining in the contest.Score by Quarters 1 2 3 4 ScoreTROY (1-2) 7 0 7 7 21Missouri (2-1) 10 10 25 7 52

SOUTH CAROLINA 45, TROY 20Sept. 24, 2005 - Williams-Brice Stadium - Columbia, SC COLUMBIA, S.C. -- South Carolina took advantage of five Troy turn-overs, converting them into 28 points, during a 45-20 victory over the Trojans at Williams-Brice Stadium. “It was another comedy of errors,” Trojans coach Larry Blakeney said. “We played a pretty good football team, but maybe it is just us. People aren’t to gracious with turnovers when we come around.” In addition to leading directly to four touchdowns for the Gamecocks, two of the Trojans’ turnovers stopped what appeared to be golden scoring opportunities for Troy. “It just knocks the wind out of you,” senior run-ning back Joel Whinghter, said of the turnovers. “When you know you can beat a team and you just keep shooting yourselves in the foot, it makes it real frustrating.” Whinghter posted a career-best 102 rushing yards in the game, but was victimized twice by the fumble bug, including on the Trojans’ open-ing possession. That fumble came at the South Carolina eight, with Troy threatening to take an early lead. “We drove the ball down, had some momentum on the first drive, then we get down there and give the ball away without scoring,” Blakeney said. “They turned around and hit the post route and reversed field position. That is woefully unacceptable.” The Gamecocks flipped the field with a 41-yard pass from Blake Mitchell to Sidney Rice. Two plays later South Carolina ran a flea flicker, with Mitchell hooking up with Syvelle Newton for a 35-yard touchdown. On the next possession, Whinghter ripped off a 39-yard run to put the Trojans back on the move, Carl Meadows was intercepted at the three on the next play, and USC responded with a 97-yard drive on 12 plays for a 14-0 lead. Mitchell connected with Rice for the final 11 yards and his second TD pass of the con-test. Another turnover, this one on a Gary Banks fumble at the Troy 13 after a reception, set up a third USC touchdown. The Gamecocks took just two plays to cover the distance for a 21-0 advantage. “You can’t win games, especially with a growing team, if you don’t get help, and they didn’t help us,” Blakeney said. “That is to their credit and much to our chagrin. We were way too generous.” The Trojans got onto the board on the ensuing kickoff when sophomore Leodis McKelvin took the ball in the end zone, and returned it 100 yards for the Trojans first points of the day. South Carolina almost responded when Carlos Thomas ripped on a 79-yard return on the next kickoff to sparke USC to three more points and a 24-7 lead. A fourth-down stand late in the half gave the Trojans good field position. Starting one-yard shy of midfield with 3:20 left, Troy drove 36 yards with the help of a personal foul penalty to set up a field goal attempt. Greg Whibbs split the uprights from 32 yards to cut the margin to 24-10 by intermission. The second half started with another Whibbs 32-yard field goal. The drive covered 65 yards on 13 plays and included three third-down conversions, one on a 20-yard reception by Smokey Hampton and two on big runs by Sean Dawkins. Fumbles on the next two possessions put the game out of reach. The first ended a Troy scoring threat. A short punt gave the Trojans the ball at its 48, but Whinghter fumbled the ball after a 19-yard gain. The second turn-over came on the first play after a punt when sophomore Kenny Cattouse fumbled at the Trojan 25 and Brandon Isaac picked the loose ball up at the 11 and walked into the end zone.

The Trojans tacked on their final points in the fourth quarter on Rob Austin’s first career touchdown reception, a three-yarder from Meadows with 3:16 remaining. “In some regards, we probably know more about ourselves, we have just got to do a better job of hanging onto the ball,” Blakeney said.

TROY 13, NORTH TExAS 10Oct. 4, 2005 - Fouts Field - Denton, Texas

DENTON, Texas – Five caused turnovers and a season-high 283 yards rushing keyed Troy to a 13-10 victory over North Texas in a nationally-televised battle of two of the preseason Sun Belt Conference favorites. Toris Rutledge caught a 16-yard touchdown pass in the first quar-ter and Greg Whibbs kicked field goals of 24 and 20 yards in the victory. “We have had some big wins before in the Southland Conference,” Troy Head Coach Larry Blakeney said. “But this is one of the biggest since joining the Sun Belt. Any time you can knock off the four-time defending conference champion, it is big.” Sophomore Kenny Cattouse, who en-tered the game with 100 career rushing yards and just 49 on 23 carries in 2005, rushed for 109 yards on 20 attempts. It marked the second time this season that the Trojans had a back go over the century mark. ``Coach came out with a good game plan. He decided to run the ball and just keep the ball on the ground,’’ Cattouse said. ``The offensive line did a great job. I had a good feeling coming into this game. I knew we were going to run it well.’’ The win also snapped the second-longest conference winning streak in nation at 26 games. Boise State gained its 27th in a row at Hawaii over the weekend. North Texas (1-3, 1-1) hadn’t lost a conference game since a 19-17 defeat to Louisiana-Monroe in their first-ever Sun Belt game, on Oct. 6, 2001. Johnny Quinn muffed a punt at the North Texas 17 with 1:36 left in the first quarter and Troy’s Adrian Ghent recovered. Two plays later, Carl Meadows threw a 16-yard touchdown pass to Rut-ledge to put Troy ahead 7-0. Offensive muscle power in the third quarter led the Trojans to 160 yards rushing in the period and almost 12 minutes of pos-session time. Whibbs made his third attempt of the night after a 10-play, 82-yard drive that lasted 4:55. The Trojans led 10-3 in the fourth quarter when Jamario Thomas, last year’s NCAA Division I rushing champion, fumbled on third-and-1 just past midfield. Bernard Davis recovered to set up Whibbs’ second field goal, a 20-yarder with 8:27 left that made it 13-3. North Texas added a touchdown with 1:38 to play to cut the score to 13-10, but Toris Rutledge recovered the ensuing onside kick and the Trojans gained the one needed first down to salt the victory. The Trojans dodged a bullet in the second quarter when Nick Bazaldua missed a 51-yard field goal, but a Joel Whinghter fumble at the Troy 41 set up a successful 21-yard attempt by Bazaldua on the Mean Green’s next possession. Troy answered with a 10-play, 54-yard drive over the final 1:42 of the half, but a 43-yard field goal attempt by Greg Whibbs as time expired was blocked. The big play of the drive was a deadball unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on North Texas after a failed third-and-10 conversion attempt that kept the drive alive.

LOUISIANA-MONROE 27, TROY 3Oct. 15, 2005 - Malone Stadium - Monroe, La.

MONROE, La. – Four turnovers and costly penalties cost Troy Saturday afternoon in a 27-3 loss to Louisiana-Monroe in a battle of the two remaining undefeated teams in the Sun Belt Conference. The Indians jumped out to a 10-0 lead with a dominating first quarter and never looked back in improving to 3-0 in league play and handing the Trojans their worst conference loss since 1989. Joel Whinghter rushed for a career-high 135 yards on 18 car-ries and true freshman Julius Foster completed 15 of 24 passes for 174 yards in his collegiate debut, but it was not enough for Troy. “We had been toying with the idea of putting Julian in and it looked like we had to do something,” Trojans head coach Larry Blakeney said. “He opens a lot of doors for us, but he also causes problems in terms of knowing what to do.” Troy committed 12 penalties for 109 yards during the game, both season highs and the most since a 13-penalty, 115-yard effort at Nebraska in 2003. Nine of the penalties for 85 yards occurred during the first half. “It all comes down to us playing football,” Whinghter said. “When you go out there and make stupid mistakes like we did today, you get beat. We showed our youth out there today and we have to get past that.” ULM dominated the first quarter, building a 10-0 lead behind 181 yards of total offense. More importantly, the Indians main-tained possession for 12:15 and limited the Trojans to just six offensive plays and minus four yards. The teams traded punts on the first two possessions with Thomas Olmsted pinning ULM at its own six. But the Indians marched 90 yards on 13 plays to the Troy four yard line before set-tling for a 21-yard Regan Walters field goal. “I thought we were ready coming into the game,” senior line-backer Bernard Davis said. “The first series we shut them down, but we gave up big plays after that.” After holding Troy to another three plays and a second punt, ULM covered 68 yards on eight plays to open a 10-0 lead. Calvin Dawson finished the drive with a 10-yard scamper up the middle with 37 seconds left in the opening period. Troy capitalized on a ULM mistake for its only points of the contest. A muffed punt return was recovered by Darius Williams at the Indian 13, but the drive stalled on third-and-three and Greg Whibbs was forced to kick a 22-yard field goal. ULM answered back quickly on the heels of a 53-yard kickoff return by Joe Merritt that gave the Indians possession at the Trojan 39. Six plays and 19 yards later, the drive stalled but Walters hit from 37 yards out to increase the lead to 13-3. An interception by Chaz Williams off of Carl Meadows put ULM back in possession just 42 seconds later and the Indians answered with seven more points. Jyles snuck across from the one to put them up 20-3 at intermission. “You can’t have all of those penalties, turnovers and big plays and beat anyone,” Blakeney said. “We had all of that today.” Any chance of a comeback ended in the first 12 seconds of the sec-

TROY 18, FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL 13Oct. 20, 2005 - Movie Gallery Stadium - Troy, Ala.

Troy University took advantage of five Florida International turnovers as the Trojans (3-4, 2-1) topped the Panthers (1-5, 0-3), 18-13 in a Sun Belt Conference game on Thursday night. Troy freshman Julian Foster passed for 150 yards and a touchdown in his first start for the Trojans, and sophomore Greg Whibbs set a new career-long with a tie-breaking 48-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. “We did so many good things tonight, and even when we made a mistake, we came back and had something good happen,” Troy coach Larry Blakeney said. “I am proud of our football team in total. Offensively, we got a little better. I think Julian is growing.” The teams combined for eight turn-overs, including three in the first six plays from scrimmage. Troy’s Sherrod Martin intercepted Josh Padrick on the second Leverne Johnson gave Troy the ball in Panther territory for the first time when he recovered a Josh Padrick fumble at the FIU 25 in the second quarter. The Trojans were only able to drive eight yards, however, and were forced to settle for a 34-yard field goal by Whibbs to take a 3-0 lead with 10:21 left in the first half. Later in the quarter, Foster connected with Darius Williams for a 51-yard touchdown pass, the first career touchdown for both Foster and Williams. The play followed a 25-yard pass to Josh Al-len, and capped a three-play, 80-yard drive that gave Troy a 10-0 lead with 7:28 left in the half. The Panthers responded with a 15-play, 65-yard drive that ended with a 38-yard field goal by Adam Noss. The Trojans drove 43 yards with the opening possession of the second half, but stalled at the FIU 37. FIU’s Samuel Smith muffed the Thomas Olmsted punt, and Gary Banks fell on it to give Troy the ball at the FIU 21. The Trojans’ offense was only able to advance to the Panther 14, and settled for a 32-yard field goal from Whibbs to take a 13-3 lead five minutes into the third quarter. On their next possession, the Panthers used five straight com-pleted passes from Padrick and a 13-yard rush from A’mod Ned to move from their own 20 the Troy 24. The Trojans were whistled for pass interference in the endzone, giving FIU first and goal at the10. Padrick connected with Julius Eppinger for the touchdown, cutting Troy’s lead to 13-10 with 4:47 left in the third quarter. Three plays later, Nick Turnbull intercepted a Foster pass at the Troy 40 and returned it 29 yards to give FIU the ball at the Trojan 11 yard line. After an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, the Panthers started their drive from the Troy 26. The Trojans defense was able to keep FIU out of the endzone, and held the Panthers to a 24-yard field goal to tie the game at 13 with 1:15 left in the third quarter. The Trojans answered just three minutes later, when Whibbs broke the tie with a career-long 48-yard field goal with 12:56 left in the game. “He has been kicking the ball solidly and he hit the ball strong on the first one,” Blakeney said. “He is very serious about his busi-ness on and off the field and that is the kind of guy you like to have in that situation.”

FIU started their next drive on their own 17 yard line and, after back-to-back tackles for loss, the Panthers opted to take an inten-tional safety to extend Troy’s lead to 18-13 with 11:15 on the clock.

LOUISIANA-LAFAYETTE 31, TROY 28 - OVERTIMEOct. 29, 2005 - Cajun Field - Lafayette, La.

LAFAYETTE, La. – Troy rallied from a 28-14 fourth-quarter deficit to even the game in the final minute, but a missed field goal in overtime gave Louisiana-Lafayette a 31-28 Homecoming victory Saturday evening at Cajun Field. The Trojans battled back in the second half after being outplayed by UL over the first 30 minutes. Sean Comiskey hit a 40-yard field goal in overtime, before Greg Whibbs missed from 37 yards to decide the contest. “Greg has kicked a lot of field goals for us and, when you kick long enough, you get into a position where can win or lose a game,” Trojans coach Larry Blakeney said. “That is like life. Things don’t always go your way.” Smokey Hampton caught a 16-yard pass from Carl Meadows with 22 seconds remaining to cap the wild comeback. The Trojans drove 52 yards over 1:55, converting a fourth-and-inches and surviving an ankle injury that forced Julian Foster to sidelines after two plays. The Cajuns (3-5, 2-2) did their early damage in the first quar-ter. They took the opening kickoff at their 13 and drove 87 yards in 3:31. Fenroy carried six times for 60 yards in the drive, including a 25-yarder around the right side for the touchdown. After holding the Trojans (3-5, 2-2) to just three plays and a punt, UL again mounted a touchdown drive. It used 10 plays to cover 56 yards, culminating with a three-yard run by quarterback Michael Desormeaux. Fenroy did most of the damage again, gain-ing 33 of the yards. The Cajuns ended the first quarter with 216 yards of total offense and 136 rushing yards, 93 by Fenroy. “The first 30 minutes was all Louisiana-Lafayette, but I chal-lenged the guys at halftime,” Blakeney said. “I thought we were embarrassed at halftime, but came back and played pretty well for 30 minutes. We didn’t give up even when they answered us. They made a big one and we missed a big one.” A Troy turnover in the third quarter helped UL build the lead to 20-0. Under heavy pressure, Julian Foster was picked off by Tyler Nor-man, who had a clear lane to the endzone, but was tackled at the Troy 23 affter a 16-yard return. The mistake didn’t matter in the long run as Fenroy scored on second-and goal at the two just three plays later. Troy got back into the game after forcing the Cajuns to punt from deep in their territory. Leodis McKelvin returned the kick 22 yards to the UL 22, setting up a 12-yard Kenny Cattouse run to paydirt with 5:44 left in the third. A fumble recovery by Bernard Davis on the next possession helped Troy climb to within a touchdown at 20-14. Cattouse capped the 55-yard drive with a 3-yard run with 13:52 left in the contest. Louisiana-Lafayette answered right back, using a 41-yard Der-rick Smith kickoff return to set up a score. Fenroy covered the final eight for his third touchdown of the night. A two-point conversion made up for an earlier missed extra point and made the score 28-14. Troy closed to within one score when Foster hit Toris Rutledge on a 37-yard pass play into the endzone. The scoring drive covered 79 yards on just four plays, the first of which covered 28 yards on a pass from Foster to Hampton.

TROY 28, FLORIDA ATLANTIC 14Nov. 5, 2005 - Movie Gallery Stadium - Troy, Ala.

TROY, Ala. – Freshman quarterback Julian Foster threw three second-half touchdown passes to lead Troy to a come-from-behind homecoming victory over FAU on Saturday at Movie Gallery Vaterans Stadium. Foster threw for 271 yards in the game, setting a school record for passing yards by a freshman, and his three passing touchdowns is a sea-son high for the Trojans. The win came in front of the largest homecom-ing crowd in school history, with the attendance announced at 21,053. The Trojans (4-5, 3-2 Sun Belt) got on the board first on a six-yard touchdown run by Ken-ny Cattouse in the first quarter. The score capped a four-play drive by the Trojans that started on the FAU 46 after a 10-yard punt return by Leodis McKelvin. FAU (1-8, 1-4 Sun Belt) tied the game at seven on an eight-yard pass from Danny Embick to Mike Wilds with 13:22 left in the half. The 80-yard drive included a 22-yard scramble by Embick on third-and-three that put the Owls in Trojans territory for the first time. On the next play, Embick connected on a 20-yard strike to B.J. Manley to advance to the Troy 14 and set up the touchdown. On their next possession, FAU lined up for a 47-yard field goal with a chance to take the lead. Warley Leroy’s kick was blocked by McKelvin, however, and the game stayed tied. The Owls did break the tie on their next possession when, on third-and-five, Embick threw as he was hit and connected with Frantz Simeon in the endzone for a 35-yard touchdown. Warley’s point after gave the Owls the 14-7 advantage with 6:04 left in the half. Troy tried to cut into the Owls lead with a 29-yard field goal attempt by Greg Whibbs with just 42 seconds left in the period, but FAU’s Josh Pinnick blocked the kick to retain the seven-point Owl lead going into the half. Troy’s Adrian Ghent intercepted a pass from Embick on FAU’s first possession of the second half, and his 14-yard return gave the Trojans the ball at their own 23. After converting a fourth-and-inches from their own 35, Foster completed a career-long 51-yard pass to Smokey Hampton. Foster then connected with Hampton again on the next play for a 14-yard scoring pass, and the point-after by Whibbs tied the game at 14 with 6:53 left in the third quarter. “Coach (Mark) Fleetwood saw I had one-on-one coverage, and once he made the call, I knew that it was going to be a touchdown,” Hampton said. Troy struck quickly on their next drive, with Foster hitting Darius Williams for a 41-yard scoring pass on their fourth play of the 80-yard drive, giving Troy a 21-14 lead with 2:35 left in the third quarter. After the Trojans defense held FAU to a three-and-out, McKelvin returned Mike Brown’s punt 21 yards to the start Troy’s next drive on the Owls 18 yard line. Williams moved Troy to the Owls six, and on third-and-goal, Foster hit James Earl Cray in the endzone to put Troy up 28-14 with 11:44 left in the game. “It’s good to get a win,” Troy head coach Larry Blakeney said. “I wasn’t sure we were going to get one. I had to be ugly to the guys at halftime. It seemed like FAU knew everything we were doing, so I wanted to make sure that our guys went out and responded, and I told them that

they needed to fight. I don’t know if that helped, but some big plays in the passing game in the second half helped.” Foster completed 17-of-27 passes for 271 yards and three touch-downs. Hampton led the Trojans with 125 yards on six catches, and one touchdown.

ARKANSAS STATE 9, TROY 3Nov. 12, 2005 - Indian Stadium - Jonesboro, Ark.

JONESBORO, Ark. – It was not a night for fireworks of any kind at Indians Stadium on Saturday – even the post-game display was canceled because of high winds. On the field, neither the Troy Trojans nor Arkansas State Indians were able to muster any form of consistent offensive play as ASU handed the Trojans a 9-3 loss. ASU kept its hopes for a Sun Belt Conference title alive, improv-ing to 5-4 overall and 4-2 in league play. The Trojans saw their chance at a share of the league title come to an end, falling to 4-6 overall on the year and 3-3 in the conference. “We couldn’t block them and just weren’t very effect offensively,” Troy coach Larry Blakeney said. “You have to go back and look at everything. We have a young quarter-back who thinks the answer to everything is scrambling around.” Even though Troy managed just 167 yards of total offense on the night, the Trojans still had a chance to pull out a victory in the closing minute of play. After Arkansas State’s third field goal gave the Indians a 9-3 lead with 2:54 to play, the Trojans drove into scoring position. The Trojans were helped on the final drive by a pass interference penalty on fourth down as well as a personal foul. But, the drive came to a sudden end when freshman Julian Foster’s pass toward Smokey Hampton in the end zone was intercepted by ASU’s Dominique Wil-liams with 26 seconds to play. “It was a highly penalized game both ways and neither team played very well, in my opinion,” Blakeney said. “The two defenses fought awfully hard and they got the best of us.” The Trojans got off to a fast start in the game thanks to a 56-yard punt return by Leodis McKelvin, setting the Troy offense up at the ASU 8-yard-line. The Indians’ defense stiffened, forcing the Trojans to settle for a 20-yard Greg Whibbs field goal for a 3-0 lead four min-utes into the game. That stiff defense from Arkansas State turned out to be the rule, rather than the exception, in the first quarter. The Trojans ran nine plays in the period for one total yard and no first downs, but still clung to the lead entering the second period of play. Troy gained its initial first down at the 12:49 mark of the second quarter when ASU was flagged for a face mask on a Troy punt, giv-ing the Trojans new life. But, once again, it was the Arkansas State defense rising to the occasion, forcing another Troy punt four plays later. The Troy defense was equal to the challenge laid down by ASU, holding the struggling Indians offense scoreless until the final play of the first half. The Indians knotted the halftime score, however, when Eric Neihouse connected on a 49-yard field goal as time expired. After a scoreless third quarter, ASU took its first lead of the game on a second Neihouse field goal, this one from 28-yards out with 9:38 left to play. The field goal capped the most successful offen-sive possession of the night for either team, with the Indians covering 58 yards in 12 plays, consuming 4:31 off the game clock. The Indians added to their lead late in the fourth quarter, when

Neihouse kicked a 27-yard field goal to cap a 10-play drive that ate more than five minutes off the clock. Troy had just 69 yards rushing in the game and Foster was sacked four times for 26 yards.

MIDDLE TENNESSEE 17, TROY 7Nov. 26, 2005 - Movie Gallery Stadium - Troy, Ala.

TROY, Ala. – The Troy University football team could not overcome a 17-0 first-half deficit as it fell 17-7 to Middle Tennessee in its final game of the season on Saturday night. The Trojans (4-7, 3-4 Sun Belt) were playing without seven players who had been suspended following the Arkansas State game, including three offensive starters. “They whipped us physically,” Troy head coach Larry Blakeney said. “We had some opportunities to get back in the game, but didn’t. The loss tonight was not for a lack of effort or work. You have to give credit to Middle Tennessee. I am proud of our guys for not shutting down.” On their opening drive, the Blue Raiders (4-6, 3-3 Sun Belt) had a 45-yard touchdown pass from Clint Marks to Cleannord Saintil called back after MTSU was flagged for holding. The Trojans defense forced Middle Tennessee to punt, and Troy took over on its own 11. On third and five from the Troy 16, MTSU’s Roy Polite grabbed a deflected Carl Meadows pass and returned it three yards to set the Blue Raiders up at the Troy 14. Eugene Gross took the ball 11 yards down the left sideline to give MTSU first and goal at the Troy three. The Blue Raiders handed the ball off to Gross for the next three plays, and on third and goal from the one he took it in for the score. Colby Smith’s PAT gave MTSU a 7-0 lead with 7:54 left in the first quarter. After forcing the Trojans to punt on their next possession, the Blue Raiders drove 71 yards on 14 plays, capped by a 1-yard run by Gross for the score with 13:29 left in the first half. The Blue Raiders kept that drive alive with a 30-yard pass from Marks to Stephen Chicola on third-and-one from the Troy 45. After the teams traded punts, MTSU took over on its own nine with 6:29 remaining in the half. On third-and-two from their own 43, Marks connected with Chicola for a 19-yard gain. It was Chicola’s seventh catch of the first half, and the sixth third-down conversion for Middle Tennes-see. The Blue Raiders moved the ball to the Troy 18. On third-and-10, Leodis McKelvin recorded his first career sack, stopping Marks back at the Troy 25. With four seconds left in the half, Smith kicked a career-long 45-yard field goal to give Middle Tennessee a 17-0 halftime lead. Meadows completed five passes as the Trojans drove 66 yards on their first possession of the second half. On second-and-four from the MTSU nine, Gary Banks caught a pass from Meadows at the one and escaped a tackler to reach the end zone. The touchdown put Troy on the board and cut the Blue Raiders lead to 17-7 with 10:12 left in the third quarter. Still trailing 17-7, the Trojans took over on their own eight with 6:32 left in the game. Troy put together five straight plays of 16 or more yards to quickly drive to the MTSU 12. Meadows completed a nine-yard pass to Toris Rutledge to advance to the MTSU two. A one-yard run by Sean Dawkins gave the Trojans first-and-goal from the Blue Raiders’ one. The Trojans rushed four times from the one, but on fourth-and-goal the MTSU defense held to prevent the score and maintain a 10-point lead with 3:12 left to play. After the Trojans defense held MTSU to three-and-out, McKelvin returned a punt 25 yards to give Troy the ball at the Middle Tennessee 26 with 90 seconds remaining. Meadows was sacked on Troy’s next two plays, backing the Trojans up to the 41. Troy’s final pass attempt fell short with 10 seconds left on the clock to seal the win for the Blue Raiders.

The Trojans gained 304 yards offensively, but only converted 2-of-11 third down attempts. Meadows completed 17-of-31 pass attempts for 226 yards. He was intercepted twice and threw one touchdown pass. Banks caught three passes for 52 yards and one touchdown. Smokey Hampton had five catches for 46 yards. Joel Whinghter led Troy with 34 yards rush-ing on six carries.

Trojan Football History Trojan Football HistoryOn June 3, 1998, the Troy University Board of Trustees approved a resolu-tion to move the school's football program to NCAA Division I-A status.

The Troy football program's march toward Division I-A member-ship began more than six years ago, when the Troy University Board of Trustees approved a resolution to move the football program forward. Since 1993, Troy has been a full-fledged NCAA Division I member in all sports with football starting at the Division I-AA level.

In 2001, the Trojans began their Division I-A odyssey in a "transition year."

After the announcement of their intention to move the football pro-gram to I-A status in 1998, adminis-trators worked diligently to finalize Troy's I-A application by meeting NCAA attendance and schedul-ing requirements. The application was completed and accepted by the NCAA in June 2002 and the school received notification of its I-A status in December.

Since announcing the move to I-A, Troy has made major improvements. The school's football stadium was expanded to a capacity of 17,500 in 1998. The Tine Davis Fieldhouse also received a face lift, with expanded office space for coaches and administrators.

In 2003, the stadium was expanded further to include 27 luxury suites, a state-of-the-art press box, a seating capacity of nearly 30,000 and the prestigious 800-seat Trojan Stadium Club area. Also included in the facility are floors for strength and conditioning, academic

enhancement and sports medicine.The growth was helped made

possible by a $5 million marketing agreement the University signed with Movie Gallery, Inc. on May 9, 2003 that gave the retail giant exclusive naming rights to the school's football stadium, renaming it "Movie Gallery Veterans Stadium."

The Troy football program has had success at every level. The Trojans won the NAIA national title in 1968. Then the Trojans moved up to NCAA Division II and continued their win-ning tradition. Troy claimed national championships in 1984 and 1987.

The Trojans kept their win-ning tradition going as they moved to Division I-AA, advancing to the I-AA playoffs in seven of their eight seasons, posting the program's first

perfect regular season (11-0-0) in 1995 and advancing to the semifi-nals in 1993 and 1996. In 2001, they finished 7-4, including a win over Southeastern Conference foe Mississippi State.

The I-A move has also brought forth tremendous television exposure, part of which includes an exclusive three-year contract with ESPN Regional Televisione rights to Troy football telecasts.

Finally, the move was solidified last year, when the Trojans were competed for the first time as all-sports members of the Sun Belt Conference.

HISTORICAL GLOSSARYAlabama Collegiate Conference Formed in 1960, the ACC as it was known, was created by four in-state rivals, Troy, Jacksonville State, Florence State (now North Alabama) and Livingston (now West Alabama). The Trojans dominated the last three years of the conference, claiming the league title in 1967, 1968 and 1969. Its predecessor, the Alabama Intercollegiate Conference, was formed in 1938 by the same in-state schools, along with Marion Military and St. Bernard. It was the first conference that the Trojans joined, and they would claim the league title for the first time in 1939 and back-to-back titles in 1941-42.

Billy Atkins Billy Atkins took over as head coach at Troy after William Clipson’s 1-8 season in 1965 and immediately revived the program, raising the Trojans to national prominence. During his six years in Troy, Atkins’ 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 cur-rent head coach Larry Blakeney.

Battle for the Ol' School Bell At every level of college football, there are great rivalries between schools. For Troy, its bitter rival was Jacksonville State. The two teams began playing each other in 1924. The Gamecocks hold a 33-28-2 edge in the all-time series, but The Trojans have won seven straight and 12 of the last 15 meetings. Both schools began as teacher colleges in the late 1800s, and when the teams first played, they created a trophy that the winner would have until the teams met again the following year. School officials determined that it was fitting for two teachers colleges to play for a school bell. The Ol' School Bell, as it is called, has been in Troy for the past 10 years and will remain in Troy at least for the near future since the teams are not schedule to meet again.

Bowl Games The Trojans have played in two bowl games in their history - the 1948 Paper Bowl, in Pensacola, Fla., and the 2004 Silicon Valley Football Classic, in San Jose, Calif. The Trojans faced archrival Jacksonville State in the Paper Bowl, los-ing 19-0 at Pensacola High School's new stadium, which had just one set of bleachers, according to records. The game was played on Dec. 18 and sponsored by Southern paper mills as a tribute to the nearly 100,000 workers in the industry at that time. An excerpt from the game program reads "the paper-making industry at Cantonment means much to Pensacola and this area of the state in payrolls and business generally ... December 18 was picked because students were at home for the holidays at this time, and many fans who would like to take in other bowl games later in the month, and on Jan. 1, will be able to do so at this time." However, 2004 marked the first time the Trojans were eligible for an automatic bowl bid since moving to Division I-A. Troy’s new home, the Sun Belt Conference, sends its champion to the New Orleans Bowl each season in December. Even though Troy did not earn the automatic bid to the New Orleans Bowl, the Trojans did earn an invitation to the Silicon Valley Football Classic in San Jose, Calif. On a rainy night in California, the Trojans made their Division I-A bowl debut against Northern Illinois from the Mid-American Conference. After jump-ing 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.

Buck Buchanan Award Following the 1999 season, two-time All-America defensive tackle Al Lucas claimed the award, given annually to the top defensive player in Division I-AA. Lucas tragically died as the result of an onfield injury suffered in an Arena Football League game on April 10, 2005.

Trojan Football History Trojan Football HistorySim Byrd One of the greatest players ever to play at Troy, Byrd owns many of the school's all-time passing records. During his three seasons at quarterback, he guided the Trojans to a 24-8 record and the school's first national champion-ship, the NAIA title in 1968. Named first-team All-America and All-ACC his senior year in 1968, he set the single-season record for passing yards with 3,569 in 1968 while also setting school records for completions (260), attempts (414).

Ted Clem Clem set the standard for all Troy kickers. He was the key participant in one of the most historic plays in school history - "The Kick" as it has been dubbed by Troy faithful. His 50-yard field goal as time expired gave Troy an 18-17 win over North Dakota State in 1984 and its first NCAA Division II national championship. Clem set the single-game record for points in a game with 14, and owns the career record book. Clem kicked 48 field goals in his four years in Troy, from 1984-87. He still holds the school record for attempts with 78 and consecutive PATs made (166).

Nick Colbert, Scholar-Athlete Nick Colbert was named as a 2000 College Football Scholar-Athlete by the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame. He was one of 16 award recipients named in 2000 for the award, which represents college football's finest student-athletes from all divisions. Colbert graduated from Troy in May 2001 with his degree in Biology. He finished his degree boasting a grade point average better than 3.7. He was an annual member on the school's Provost's and Chancellor's lists for academic excellence. Since 1959, when the first class was selected, 586 scholar-athletes have been awarded the honor based on superior academic performance, outstand-ing football ability, strong leadership and citizenship. Each scholar-athlete is awarded an $18,000 postgraduate scholarship and honored at the Foundation’s Annual Awards Dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York. Other notable athletes to earn the award along with Colbert were Purdue's Drew Brees, Florida State's Chris Weinke and a fellow Southland Football League athlete, McNeese State's Wes Hines.

Coming-Out Party Troy made its Division I-A debut on Sept. 1, 2001, when the Trojans traveled to face fourth-ranked 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, throw-ing 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 endzone on two drives inside the 1-yard line in the fourth quarter. Jimmy McClain stopped Eric Crouch on the 1-yard line, and the entire defense stopped Thunder Collins from leaping into the endzone.

Chan Gailey The current Georgia Tech head coach, Gailey led the Trojans to the 1984 Division II national championship. In his two seasons at Troy, Gailey led the Trojans to a 19-5 record. After taking over the program in 1983, he guided the Trojans to a five-game improvement, going 7-4 his fist year. His final year, he led the Trojans to the national title.

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

Gulf South Conference Members from Troy, Delta State, Florence State (now North Alabama), Livingston (now West Alabama), Tennessee-Martin and Jacksonville State all met in Birmingham during the summer of 1970 to form the Mid-South Conference. Scheduling conflicts in the first year allowed competition only in football. Southeastern Louisiana and Nicholls State joined the conference later, giving the conference eight members and the league changed its name to the Gulf South Conference. On June 4, 1990, Troy officially withdrew from the GSC. During its 20 years in the GSC, Troy claimed six conference titles. The Trojans hold a 129-75-5 all-time record in GSC play.

"The Kick" "The Kick," as it is called, is used to describe Ted Clem's 50-yard field goal as time expired that gave Troy an 18-17 win over North Dakota in the 1984 Division II national title game. The kick was Clem’s third field goal of the game and finished off one of the greatest comebacks in school history after the Trojans fell behind 14-0 in the first quarter.

"The Kick" - Part Two Drew Boteler's 22-yard field goal attempt slipped through the uprights, capping a 14-point comeback, as Troy rallied to knock off North Texas, 18-16, in the school's first home game against a Division I-A school on Dec. 1, 200l. 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.

V.P. McKinley Virgil McKinley, a professor at the Troy Normal School, was charged with the task of fielding the first school football team. McKinley, who at-tended 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.

Brock Nutter A four-year starter for the Trojans, Brock Nutter never missed a start, starting all 44 regular-season games and four I-AA playoff games, setting a new school record. He was selected as team captain his last three seasons and held a 35-13 record as a starter. Nutter rewrote the passing record book, completing 581 passes, sur-passing Sim Byrd's record of 575. He also attempted 1037 passes, shattering the former record held by Byrd of 924. Nutter threw for a school-record 7,791 yards and also broke the school record for total offense, with 7,494 yards.

Overtime Games Troy has played three overtime games in its history, standing 1-2 in those contests. The latest occurred a year ago as the Trojans fell 31-28 at UL-Lafayette on October 29. The other games were a 13-10 win over former Southland Football League rival Sam Houston State on Oct. 11, 1997 and a 19-16 home loss to Utah State on Nov. 16, 2002.

Fight SongHere's to the school we loveWe are Trojans one and all;We will always cheer for VICTORY,And you'll never let us fall - GO GO GO!Cheers to old Troy U,We are with you all the way;So get out there, Team, and FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!And WIN today

Trojan Football HistoryPerfect Seasons Throughout Troy's football history, only one team has gone through a season without a loss or tie. The 1912 team finished the year with a 3-0-0 record. Head coach George Penton's team went to Dothan and won 25-0, following that up with a 12-7 win over Wetumpka and capping the season with a 24-3 win over Ozark. In 1995, the Trojans finished the regular season undefeated at 11-0 but fell in the first round of the playoffs to Georgia Southern.

Red Wave In 1932, Albert Elmore took over as head coach at Troy. He had just com-pleted his playing career at Alabama, playing on the 1930 national champion-ship team. With Elmore came a new moniker for the Troy team, the Red Wave, which was a variation of his beloved Crimson Tide. Before that time, the football team had been called either the Teachers or Bulldogs. Troy teams would be called the Red Wave until 1973 when the nickname was changed to Trojans.

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 Football League In the summer of 1995, Troy, along with Jacksonville State, McNeese State, Nicholls State, Northwestern State, Sam Houston State, Southwest Texas and Stephen F. Austin, met in New Orleans to reform the Southland Conference into a football only sub-conference, the Southland Football League. During their five seasons in the SFL, the Trojans claimed three titles, in 1996, 1999 and 2000. The Trojans posted a 26-9 record in conference play during their five seasons and saw 54 players earned all-conference honors, while two players earned Defensive Player of the Year (Pratt Lyons, 1996; Anthony Rabb, 1999) honors and another Newcomer of the Year (Demon-tray Carter, 2000). Head coach Larry Blakeney twice earned Coach of the Year honors (1999 and 2000).

Sun Belt Conference On May 23, 2003, Troy University accepted an invitation to join the Sun Belt Conference in all sports, marking the first time all of Troy’s sports will be in the same league since the school moved to Division I in 1993. The Troy football program will begin play in its first Division I-A conference home in the fall of 2004, while all other sports will begin 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 con-trolled 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.

Tracing 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 Movie Gallery Veterans Stadium.

T-Roy T-Roy, the Troy mascot and a fan favorite, has been a familiar sight at Troy athletic events since making his first appearance in the mid 1980s. T-Roy became the official school mascot after a 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.

Trojans - The Nickname The Troy athletic teams have had a variety of names through the years - from Bulldogs to Teachers to Red Wave. As the football team began competition in the 1910s, the team was called Bulldogs or Teachers (since the school began as a teacher's college). In 1922, the group was called Trojans for the first time. That lasted until Albert Elmore’s arrival on campus in 1931. A graduate of the University of Alabama, Elmore changed the nickname to Red Wave, a variation of Crimson Tide. The Red Wave moniker stuck until 1973, when the student body was again charged with voting for its new team nickname. The first game of the season in 1973 was on the road against Northeast Louisiana (now Louisiana-Monroe). The squad departed Troy without a nickname, but students voted on the nickname that Saturday morning. The winner? Trojans. The current nickname won the election by a two-to-one margin, with the ballots being tallied hours before kickoff. With the new nickname, the Trojans battled Northeast Louisiana to a 15-15 tie.

Trojans In The Polls During their eight years at the I-AA level, the Trojans were a mainstay in the I-AA polls. Troy finished ranked in the Top 25 every year but one (1997). Troy finished at the top of the polls in 1993, and was ranked number one for three straight weeks in 2000. Overall, the Trojans finished in the top five four times and the top ten five times.

Troy University Troy hasn't always been University. When the school was founded in 1887, the school was called the State Normal School - Troy. In 1929 the school changed its name to the Troy State Teachers College. That would last until 1957, when the school was renamed to Troy College. The school was then named Troy State University in 1967 and has remained since despite a movement to change the name two years ago. The Board of Trustees voted against a change. In 2004, the Board of Trustees voted to remove the "State" from the name, making it Troy University

Voices of the Trojans Over the past 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 basket-ball (1992).

Trojan Football History Trojan Football History 1968 NAIA NATIONAL CHAMPIONS Led by a record-setting aerial attack and a defense that recorded four shutouts, the Red Wave claimed the 1969 NAIA national cham-pionship with a 43-35 win over Texas A&I at Cramton Bowl in Montgomery, Ala. Under the guidance of third-year head coach Billy Atkins, Troy opened the year 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. He also rushed for two more. He followed that performance with five touchdown passes, all to Danny Grant, in a 52-0 win over McNeese State. Troy had risen to No.3 in the national poll before dropping a 12-3 decision to Tennessee-Martin. Byrd and Head 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 demol-ished Concord (W.Va.), 76-0, on Homecoming at Movie Gallery Stadium, rising back to No.4 in the NAIA rankings and earning a berth in the playoffs. Byrd was at it again vs. Concord, throw-ing for six touchdowns and rushing for another with Ronnie Shelley running two punts back for touchdowns. The Red Wave picked up right where it left off against Concord, demolishing Willamette (Ore.), 63-10, in the semifinals to advance to the national title game. Byrd threw six touchdown passes with his backup, Al Head, throwing two more. Shelley joined in the scoring, running an interception back 66 yards for another score. In the national title game, Byrd hit 25-of-44 passes and threw five touchdowns to earn Most Valuable Back honors as the Red Wave cruised past Texas A&I. Cecil Barber scored two touch-downs, one on a 53-yard run and the other on a 5-yard pass. Bobby Enslen scored on a 54-yard bomb, and Vince Green scored on a 15-yard pass from Byrd. Doug Taylor was named Most Valuable Lineman after catching two touchdown passes from Byrd, one from five yards out and the other from three. Byrd and Shelley were named to the first-team All-America team after their outstanding seasons.

Trojan Football History 1984 NCAA DIVISION II NATIONAL CHAMPIONS Ted Clem’s 50-yard field goal with no time remain-ing 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 rap-idly 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 current Georgia Tech head coach 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 deci-sion to UNA. Troy had two chances late in the game, but an intercep-tion 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.

Trojan Football History Trojan Football History 1987 NCAA DIVISION II NATIONAL CHAMPIONS Led by 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 fol-lowed 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 pull-ing 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 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 unde-feated 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 touch-down, while rushing for 67 yards on seven carries and touch-down, 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 touch-downs and a 97-yard TD pass to Dixon. With the Gulf South Conference title on the line, Troy defeated archrival Jacksonville State, 14-9, to earn a berth in the Division II playoffs. Turk led the offense with 101 yards rush-ing, with Jackson adding 78. Troy's winning streak entered the playoffs with nine straight wins and ran the streak to 10 with a 45-14 win over Winston-Salem in the quarterfinals. The Troy offense picked up 383 yards rushing, led by Jackson's 93 yards on 12 carries. The defense stepped up in the semifinals, causing eight turnovers, four interceptions and four fumbles, as Troy defeated Central Florida, 31-10, to advance to the title game. Turk led the offense again, rushing for two touchdowns and passing for another, leading the Troy rushing attack with 78 yards on 13 carries. The Trojans would not be denied in the national title game, rallying from a 10-3 halftime deficit to pull out a 31-17 win over Portland State and their second national title in four years. Turk set a championship game record with 190 yards on 25 carries and Dixon ran the reverse four times for 111 yards, and one 49-yard TD. Turk was named to the All-America team following his senior season and was runner-up for the Harlon Hill Trophy.

Trojan Football History

Virgil P. McKinley1909 l 1-0-2The father of Troy athletics, Virgil P. McKinley raised the necessary funds to field the first football team. A professor at the Troy Normal School, McKinley's squad was comprised of just 11 members.

A graduate of the University of Alabama, McKinley never received a football letter. In his only season as head coach, McKinley guided the "Teachers" to a 1-0-2 record.

Dan Herren l 1910 l 1-1-2Dan Herren coached only one season at Troy Normal School, leading the “Teachers” to a 1-1-2 record. Herren was not only the coach, but the starting left halfback. He led the team to two scoreless ties and a win over the Montgomery O.P.X.

George Penton 1911-1912 l 7-1-1The second of the school’s “player-coaches,” George Penton managed the team for two seasons. Penton led Troy to its only perfect season in 1912, winning all three games.

Against Highland Park on N3, 1911, Penton put himself in the game. “With the putting in of the Troy coach at fullback in the last quarter, the stubborn defense put up by Highland Park began to weaken and three touchdowns were made,” according to the game report in the Mont-gomery Advertiser. He is the all-time winningest coach by percentage at Troy.

J.W. Campbell 1921-23 l 12-13-1J.W. Campbell brought football back to the Troy campus after an eight-year hiatus. Campbell's first season was far from a success due to the "limited numbers and raw material out of

which he had to make his team.” Campbell's vision was to build through his first season in hopes of developing “a powerful football machine before which it will take a powerful team to stand."

led the "Teachers" to a 2-0-4 record into their season finale against archrival Jacksonville State in the first game against the sister school to be played in Troy. Jacksonville State won the game, 14-9, in front of thousands, according to one newspaper account. The game proved to be a building block of the rivalry and Troy football.

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

Nick Colbert - 2000 Scholar-Athlete Award Nick Colbert was named as a 2000 College Football Scholar-Athlete by the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame. He was one of 16 award recipients named in 2000 for the award, which represents college football’s finest student-athletes from all divisions. Colbert graduated from Troy in May 2001 with his degree in Biology. He finished his degree boasting a grade point average better than 3.7. He was an annual member on the school's Provost's and Chancellor's lists for academic excellence. Since 1959, when the first class was selected, 586 scholar-athletes have been awarded the honor based on superior academic performance, outstanding football ability, strong leadership and citizenship. Each scholar-athlete is awarded an $18,000 postgraduate scholarship and hon-ored at the Foundation’s Annual Awards Dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York. Other notable athletes to earn the award along with Colbert were Purdue's Drew Brees, Florida State's Chris Weinke and a fellow Southland Football League athlete, McNeese State's Wes Hines. Including Colbert, there have been only eight winners from Alabama schools since the award’s inception - Eddie Robinson from Alabama State in 1991; Ed Dyas (1960), John Cochran (1965) and Gregg Carr (1984) from Auburn; and John Musso (1971), Randall Hall (1974) and Steadman Shealy (1979) from Alabama.
