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. Our commitment is to provide the student-ath-lete 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 gradu-ate student-athletes who will make significant contributions to society, view their experience as rewarding and who will be proud alumni and advocates of the University.

NCAA RegulAtioNsThe NCAA has set straightforward and stringent guidelines as to whom may represent a member institution in athletics.

The organization utilizes the Eligibility Center to determine eligibility for every potential student-athlete. The Eligibility Center determines if the prospect meets the minimum requirements set forth by the NCAA. The Eligibility

Center 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 16 academic core course requirements. These include four years of English, three years of mathematics, two years of sciences, two years of social studies and four additional academic courses.

The NCAA requirements do not stop with initial eligibility. Student-athletes have to maintain a steady progression toward graduation while remaining in good academic standing with the University. This is done by maintaining a prescribed GPA (depending upon classification) and passing at least 24 semester hours of degree work each academic year. Further, NCAA rules stipulate a student-athlete must declare a degree program of studies, and thereafter make satisfactory progress toward that specific degree. This is done to help ensure the mission of collegiate athletics, which is to graduate student-athletes, not exploit them for their athletic abilities.

studeNt-Athlete seRviCes

Troy University student-athletes are fortunate to have the Office of Student-Athlete Services (SAS) available to them. SAS provides all student-athletes with the support necessary to make their collegiate experience as beneficial as possible.

The primary goal of SAS is to develop, nurture, encourage, and inspire our student-athletes emotionally, socially and intellectually. SAS aspires to challenge our student-athletes to embrace ownership of their responsibilities. SAS also urges our student-athletes to apply the same level of dedication that makes them superior athletes to their academic endeavors.

The strength and conditioning program at Troy University continually produces prepared and conditioned ath-letes for the highest level of collegiate competition. Strength and Conditioning Coach Richard Shaughnessy heads the pro-gram 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 million dollar strength and conditioning facility is 10,000-square and accommodates more than 420 student-athletes. It is designed with all sports in mind with more than $150,000 in equipment. It houses cardiovascular equipment, hammer systems, power racks and a variety of leg appara-tuses. Cross-training equipment and a multi-station cross-over machine are among the items that have also recently been added. University courses are also taught in the facility throughout the year.

The strength and conditioning staff trains and monitors each of Troy's 17 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 broken 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 pro-gram to constantly produce successful and prepared athletes for Troy.

Chuck AshHead Trainer

Troy University has long been a leader in the field of athlet-ic 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 provid-ing exceptional healthcare to student-athletes, but also to pro-viding outstanding education to student trainers. The course-work, which is accredited by the National Athletic Trainers Association, prepares students to become certified 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 continues to oversee its progress as curriculum director. 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 athletic training program, has been with Troy for 19 years.

Ash is assisted by three full-time trainers: Cherise 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 second floor of the Movie Gallery Veterans Stadium tower. The new facility includes expanded rehab and treatment areas, hot and cold tubs for treat-ment 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 athletic training program aligns itself with exceptional professionals in the field.

Troy has benefited tremendously from its lasting relationship with Dr. James Andrews, one of the world’s leading orthopedic sur-geons. 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 pro-cess 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 program.

With a committed staff of trainers and physicians, a competitive accredited curricu-lum 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.

2008 season outlook As Troy University head football coach Larry Blakeney pre-pares for his 18th season of guiding the Trojans’ football fortunes, the goals for 2008 remain the same as past seasons. But, in or-der to reach those goals, many questions must be answered. Those questions include breaking in a new quarterback while also having young players at all of the other offensive skill posi-tions; replacing one corner back who led the nation in intercep-tions, and another who was a first round NFL draft pick; going into a season with not one, but two, freshmen kickers; and, finally, facing a brutal schedule that will have his team on the road for seven of its first nine games. Answering those questions will determine the type of year the 2008 Trojans have. “We are a young football team, and we have some rebuilding to do,” Blakeney said. “But, our number one goal is to win the Sun Belt Conference, period. To win the league is critical.” And to win the league, the Trojans must be ready for the rigors of conference play very early. Troy opens the 2008 cam-paign against arch-rival Middle Tennessee in the “Battle for the Palladium” on August 28. The rivalry game has normally been a late-season showdown, but will kickoff the Sun Belt season on Thursday night in Murfreesboro. After the game with the Blue Raiders, Troy will face four con-secutive non-conference games that includes trips to face both LSU and Ohio State. Those two teams faced off for the 2007 BCS National Title and will be looking to get back in the championship picture. Following the four non-conference games, the Trojans will travel to Florida Atlantic for a Tuesday night game in early October on ESPN. “Middle Tennessee and Florida Atlantic are the first two games we will play in the league, and those are a huge priority,” Blakeney said. “We aren’t going to say we aren’t going to try to win every game, but those two games are important. Everything we do with our personnel, with our training, with injuries, will be geared toward those two games.” Taking the necessary steps to prepare to win those games started in the spring when answers were found as to the quarter-back situation, but other questions still remain. “Cornerback is a huge concern for us,” Blakeney said. “We signed some junior college guys and we have some guys here we think can play. I think we are going to be OK in other areas, but we are only one key injury away from needing some young players to step forward.”

TROJANS RETOOL ON OFFENSE FOR 2008 After two record setting seasons with Omar Haugabook at quarterback and Tony Franklin running the offense, the Troy Tro-jans will go back to the drawing board for 2008. But, Trojan fans can rest easy because new offensive coordi-nator Neal Brown, the youngest coordinator in the entire Football Bowl Subdivision at 27, says nothing is going to change. “We are going to do the same types of things,” Brown said. “What we have done here for the last two years has been suc-cessful. If something isn’t broke, it doesn’t need to be fixed.” There will be differences in the 2008 Trojan attack, but that was going to happen regardless of who the coordinator is. Hauga-book, the two-time Sun Belt Conference Offensive Player of the

Year at quarterback, is gone. In his place are a trio of young gun-slingers. All of them have experience, but none has had to carry a team. All three players – sophomores Tanner Jones (Wakulla, Fla.) and Jamie Hampton (Cedar Bluff, Ala.), along with junior Levi Brown ( Mt. Juliet, Tenn.) – gave strong performances during spring ball in the battle to replace Haugabook. Hampton came away with a slight advantage, but can not get comfortable with the other two breathing down his neck. Brown said the best decision the coaching staff made in the spring was to do nothing. “We recruited some junior college quarterbacks, but we did not sign one,” Brown said. “I was a little nervous about that, but now I think it was the best decision we could have made. We had three guys who performed well in the spring and I believe we have three guys, coming out of spring ball, that we can compete with and win.” Hampton gained the advantage due in great part to his abil-ity to run with the football. He showed off that running ability in his first collegiate game last year when he broke off a 56-yard scramble against Arkansas. “The thing with Jamie is that he can move around the pocket,” Brown said. “As the spring progressed, he got better and better throwing the football. I think he can do some really good things. He is a winner and I am excited about him. He has worked hard, is a smart kid and I feel good about where he is.”

2008 season outlookJones and Brown have stronger throwing arms, and Brown has experience as a starting quarterback at the I-AA level. “Levi performed very well and Tanner improved as the spring went on,” Brown said. “Jamie has to get a lot better because Tanner and Levi are going to push him. If he doesn’t continue to work hard and get better, those other two guys are going to catch him.” But the retooling of the Troy offense does not start and end at quarterback. Also gone from 2007 are the teams’ top two rushers (including Haugabook), and the top three receivers. The offense must also replace a multi-purpose back to was a key in the run-ning games’ improvement from the previous year. In place of those players will be a group of youngsters, all of whom have played, but none of who has been in the spotlight like they will be this fall. “Obviously, losing Omar is a great loss, but we have a guy coming in who is similar,” Brown said. “Losing Kenny Cattouse at running back, we have a guy who is similar. Losing Gary Banks at receiver, we have guys who can take up for that loss.” In the backfield, the job falls to sophomore DuJuan Harris (Brooksville, Fla.). As a true freshman in 2007, Harris showed that he can be a more than adequate backup by rushing 82 times for 372 yards. Now, he will be asked to shoulder more of the load, but he won’t have to do it alone. Speedy senior Xavier Moreland (Williamson, Ga.) (eight carries, 35 yards) returns and they will be joined by a junior college runner and a pair of high school signees. Junior Maurice Greer (Denver, Colo.), who comes to Troy from Garden City Community College, is the most likely candidate to make an immediate impact in the backfield with Harris. “DuJuan Harris has a chance to be really good, the sky is the limit for him,” Brown said. “We feel good about Greer because he is an older kid.” Greer was named Mr. Football in Colorado as a senior and was ranked as a top 10 run-ning back in the nation. But, his football career was inter-rupted by cancer. “Greer was outstanding coming out of high school and he had a great freshman year in junior college,” Brown said. “Then he found out he had cancer. He had surgery, went through the chemo and sat out a year. When he came back, he wasn’t the same player. He had an OK year last year and, now, his body is in much better shape. “If he is as good as he was last year, he’ll help us out in the passing game and with pass protection. If, however, he is as good as he was his fresh-man year, then we have a great situation, because he can be a difference maker.”

At receiver, the loss of Banks was about more than the num-bers he produced on the field. Being just one year younger than the Trojans’ new coordinator, Banks was like having an additional coach on the field. “We are going to miss Gary Banks, no question about it,” Brown said. “His production, we’ll be able to replace that, but what will be hard for us will be to replace his leadership. We have guys who can do all of the things that Gary did except we don’t have the big, strong, physical guy right now.” Despite losing the top three players in terms of receptions from last year, the Troy receiving corps returns 15 players who recorded at least one reception last year. Ten of those 15 play-ers found their way into the end zone at the end of pass plays last year. But, like at running back, none has ever been asked to be”The Man”. The most likely candidate to fill that role will be sophomore Jerrel Jernigan (Eufaula, Ala.). As a true freshman last year, Jerni-gan started to come into his own toward the end of the season and he finished the year fourth in receptions (30) and third in receiving yards (337). “We have experience there,” Brown said. “Every kid we will put out there has played in a game. The difference is, those guys have to transition to being starters. They will be counted on more this year. “We want to move Jerrel around and get him as many touch-es as he can handle. He has to show that he can be more durable than he was last year. He is dynamic with the ball and can do some special things. We want to get him the ball, but he is going to determine how much we can do.” Senior Mykeal Terry (Fullerton, Calif.) is the most experienced of the returning receivers, but he had a down year in 2007 after finishing second in receiving the previous year. Kennard Burton (Pahokee, Fla.) and Gerald Tate (Sarasota, Fla.) are two other

2008 season outlookseniors who will try to build on what they did last year after arriv-ing at Troy from junior college. Juniors Cornelius Williams (Hoover, Ala.) and Andrew Davis (Pelham, Ala.) also have two years in the offense, and, along with sophomore Austin Silvoy (St. Augustine, Fla.), will be expected to increase their production in 2008. Two newcomers, junior college transfer TeBiarus Gill (Mobile, Ala.) from Jones County Junior College and freshman Chip Reeves (Stone Mountain, Ga.) will also have a chance to contribute. The only skill area on offense where there is no ready replace-ment is at the H-Back, or fullback, spot. Last year, Sean Dawkins manned that position and was able to run, block, split outside and run pass routes and catch passes. That role will be divided this year with junior Travis Boyd (Lacey’s Spring, Ala.) taking more of the tight end/pass catching duties, while junior Nathan Nolin (Graceville, Fla.) takes over more of the fullback duties. Nolin moved to offense from linebacker in the spring and im-pressed his coaches. “He has to put on some weight, but he has a great work ethic, is a great guy to have on offense,” Brown said. “He can catch, runs well and, if he continues on, he is a guy we can use. He is not Dawk, but if he can be the fullback and H back then he’ll play some snaps and help us out in the running game.” Boyd, a former walk-on like Nolin, saw some playing time at tight end last year and will likely see that duty increase this fall. “He had a good spring last year and ended up playing about 20 snaps per game,” Brown said. “He still has to get better, but I think we will use the tight end more this year than we did last year. It helps so much in this offense to have a tight end, especially running the football.” Entering 2007, the biggest question marks were up front where only one starter returned. Those questions were answered and now, entering the 2008 season, Troy has six players back with significant starting experience up front. “Those guys were the unknown last year,” Brown said. “We had a couple of guys we knew were pretty good, but those guys played a lot better than we thought. A lot of the credit for that goes to John Schlarman, but they played higher than expectations. This year they will be called on to lead the offense.” The line features anchors at both tackle spots and at center. Tackles Dion Small (Americus, Ga.) and Chris Jamison (Columbus, Ga.), along with junior center Danny Franks (Bartow, Fla.) make up the glue of the offense. All three have All-America ability and tons of experience. “We are going to lean on those guys a lot to lead this offense, and I expect us to be better than we were last year, and we were pretty good up front last year,” Brown said. “It makes me feel a little better with a young quar-terback and young running back, having those guys up front.” Both guard spots could be up for grabs in the fall, even though both positions have returning starters. Wes-ley Potter (Bellevue, Wash.) started every game at right guard and Tyler Clark (Alabaster, Ala.), a walk-on, started five games at left guard. Both will get pushed by junior Ste-ven Adams (Bruce, Fla.), who had a great spring, as well as senior Will Chambliss (Catula, Ga.), who started seven

games last year, and junior Steven Merkel. “Potter, Adams and Merkel will all get a chance at right guard,” Brown said. “Potter may have a slight edge, but he has to play better. A lot of his problem was because he was overweight. He is down to about 305 now and he moves better. Now, if we can get him playing low, he has a chance to be a good player.” Clark came out of nowhere last year to take the starting job at right guard from Chambliss. “He is a tough kid who competes, even though he is a little undersized,” Brown said. “I didn’t even know who he was coming into camp. The first week of practice we figured out who he was. We gave him a chance and he ended up starting. He has gotten stronger, put on some weight, and we expect good things from him.”DEPTH WILL BE KEY CONCERN ON DEFENSE The focus of the Troy defensive staff during spring ball was simple – find replacements for Leodis McKelvin and Elbert Mack at cornerback. Obviously, that is easier said than done when you are talking about the No. 11 overall pick in the NFL Draft and the top pass thief in all of college football. Replacing those two players will still be of utmost priority once the Trojans report to camp in late July, but that will be far from the only area of concern. While returning starters dot the depth chart on defense, behind them there is very little actual game experience.

2008 season outlook

ners, are our biggest concerns,” Jeremy Rowell, who is entering his third season as defensive coordinator, said. “We have good experience coming back in our starters, but not much behind them.” Corner remains the top priority, with senior Trevor Ford (Mi-ami, Fla.), a transfer from Florida State, and sophomore Chris Bowens (Columbus, Ga.) tentatively penciled in as starters. Both showed flashes of their ability in the spring, but neither was con-sistent enough to etch their name in stone on the depth chart. Both players will be pushed by junior college signees Kedric Manning (Eatonton, Ga.) and Jorrick Calvin (Baton Rouge, La.). A pair of freshmen, Bryan Willis (Columbus, Ga.) and KeJuan Phil-lips (Waycross, Ga.) will also get a look. “Corner is a concern after losing those two guys because we don’t have anyone else who has played,” Rowell said. To help ease the burden on the corners, the Trojans will lean heavily on a trio of veteran safeties. Seniors Sherrod Martin (Grif-fin, Ga.), Terence Moore (Columbus, Ga.) and Tavares Williams (Gainesville, Fla.) have all played a lot of football over the last three years for the Trojans. “Those guys will be the leaders back there,” Rowell said. “We are going to do some stuff with those guys to protect those cor-ners a little, at least until we see what they can do. Hopefully, two of those corners will step up and we won’t have any worries in the secondary. We feel pretty good about the nickel and the safe-ties.” Martin, who Rowell says is the Trojans’ best defender, moves back to free safety this year, switching places with Moore at the nickle. The move will give the Trojans a little bit bigger player in Moore to send on blitzes and help in the run game. Of course, the key for the success of any secondary is the amount of pressure applied at the line of scrimmage. Up front, the Trojans have six veterans – three at end and three at tackle – to apply that pressure. But, like everywhere on the defense, there isn’t much experience past those first six guys. “We’ve got good experience coming back up front,” Rowell said. “We have Dion Gales (New Orleans, La.), Steve McLendon (Ozark, Ala.) and Maurice Coleman (Eufaula, Ala.) back inside, and two of those three have started. We have to have a little help

there on the interior. “At end, we lost Shawn Todd, but we get Brandon Lang (Tuck-er, Ga.) back from injury. We have a couple of JC guys coming in and a couple of young guys coming on, for depth. With Lang, Kenny Mainor (Brunswick, Ga.) and Cameron Sheffield (Portal, Ga.), all pretty good guys, back. The biggest deal is depth. We have to add some bodies and build up.” Lang missed most of last season after suffering a torn ACL in the win over Oklahoma State. With his combination of size (6-4, 249) and speed, he has a chance to be a cross between former Trojans DeMarcus Ware and Osi Umenyiora, although Rowell doesn’t want to hang that label on him just yet. “Lang is a big-time player,” Rowell said. “He has great size and a good motor to make plays. He doesn’t have the kind of speed that Demarcus had, but he has more size. He doesn’t have as much strength as Osi, but he has more speed. He is more of a combination of the two, but he is not on their level yet. Fortu-nately, he still has two years left, but he definitely has a chance to be in their category.” Junior Boris Lee (Fargo, Ga.) returns to anchor the lineback-ing corps after leading the team in tackles last year. Rowell said he has a chance to be better this year because he will enter the season with more size. “Boris has gained some weight, up into the 220s, which will be 20-25 pounds heavier than last year,” Rowell said. “He has another year of experience. He is a wonderful football player, but he needs to keep getting better.” Lee will be flanked my another former walk-on at the Will line-backer spot. Junior Bear Woods (Macclenny, Fla.), who came to Troy as a quarterback, came into his own last year and continued to make strides in the spring. “He had a great spring, made a bunch of plays and is a very smart player,” Rowell said. “He will be able to help us. But, behind those guys we have to find some depth. Guys like Donnell Golden (Quitman, Ga.), Lennie Richardson (Ashburn, Ga.) and Xavier Lamb (Tallahassee, Fla.) need to step up and be ready to help out. David McDowell (Asheville, NC) had some minor injuries last year, but he will need to step up and help us this year.”

2008 season outlookSPECIAL TEAMS STARTING FROM SCRATCH The one area where the Trojans have no experienced return-ees is on special teams. Last year Greg Whibbs handled all of the placements and most of the punting, while Leodis McKelvin was an All-American as a return man. Both leave big shoes to fill. A pair of redshirt freshmen will take over the kicking duties. Michael Taylor (Pensacola, Fla.) will handle placements and kick-offs while Will Goggans (Douglas, Ga.) will assume the punting duties. “I worry a lot about that,” Blakeney said. “We can do some things to help those young guys out, but we have to be good at it. I think both of those guys have a chance to be good.” The positive for both is that the holder, Austin Silvoy, and snap-per, Derick Thomas (Elba, Ala.), are back. Last year was the first for either of them to handle those duties and both performed well. The race to fill the shoes left by McKelvin is wide open and will likely be split among several players. Sophomores Jerrel Jerni-gan and KeJuan Harris handled most of the returns in the spring, but they will likely be challenged for the jobs by incoming junior Jorrick Calvin, who handled returns in junior college, as well as diminutive freshman T.J. Mitchell (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.), a speedy running back from south Florida. “I think Jerrel is a guy who can shoulder a lot of the load,” Blakeney said. “He is a guy who could make, or break us, if he can stay healthy.” To help ease the transition of the kickers and returners, the Trojans will employ a host of experienced special teams players on both the kick coverage and return teams. Headlining that group will be seniors Sherrod Martin, Terence Moore and Xavier Moreland along with junior Courtland Fuller (Columbus, Ga.) and sophomore Bryant McKissic (Phenix City, Ala.).

SCHEDULE MAKERS NOT KIND TO TROY Seven of the first nine games are on the road. Included in that stretch are road games against the two schools that have shared the Sun Belt Conference title with Troy the last two sea-sons – Middle Tennessee in 2006 and Florida Atlantic is 2007. Also included are trips to face LSU and Ohio State – both of which figure to be back in the top five in the nation this year – as well as a journey to face an Oklahoma State team that will still be smart-ing from the loss they took in Troy last year. “We have to play them all,” Blakeney said. “We can’t cancel the games. It is a unique schedule, but we have to find a way to shape it and make it work for us. If we can survive the first month, then we will have a lot of soft time between games later in the year. “If we can still be in the race after that first part of the sched-ule, then we may have a chance. But, everyone in this league can beat you.”

Larry Blakeney is a winner. Always has been. From his time as a quarterback at Auburn, to his highly successful 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 as-sociated with winning and a job well done. His tenure at Troy has been nothing less. During his 17 years as head coach, he has led the Trojans to a 136-68-1 record, third best among all programs in Alabama during that span. Already the school’s longest-serving and most success-ful head coach of all time, Blakeney has led the Troy football program to an unequaled run of success that has taken the Trojans from Division II, to the Football Championship Subdivi-sion (FCS), and now to the grandest stage of all - the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). The Trojans took a huge step forward in 2006, captur-ing their first Sun Belt Conference title and winning the first bowl game in school history, a decisive 41-17 victory over Rice in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. That victory completed an 8-5 record, the best for the Troy program since the move to the FBS. The roll continued in 2007 as the Trojans earned a share of their second straight Sun Belt Conference title. The teams’ 8-4 record included nationally televised victories over Oklahoma State and Middle Tennessee. The program made its first big splash at the sports’ highest level in 2004 by producing a 7-5 record that included the schools’ first-ever bowl bid to the Silicon Valley Classic. The grand unveiling of a renovated Movie Gallery Stadium was highlighted by 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 Kan-sas 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 FBS foes, the most in school history in a single season. The Trojans played their first official sea-son as a FBS member in 2002 after going 7-4 in their “transition’ season in 2001. Included in the 2001 win total were three wins over FBS foes and a monumental upset of 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 Nebras-ka, 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 participant Marshall. The Troy defense finished fourth in the nation in total defense in 2002 despite the challenging slate.

While a member of the FCS, the Trojans enjoyed their most successful run in school history. Over eight seasons, the Trojans advanced to the national semifinals twice and the FCS postseason seven times, including a NCAA-record four consecutive seasons after making the move to I-AA in 1993. When the Trojans jumped to FBS status, Blakeney again made NCAA history — becoming one of only two coaches to lead a pro-gram from Division II to the FBS, joining UCF’s Gene McDowell. Blakeney’s jour-ney began on Dec. 3, 1990, when he was hired as the 20th head coach in school history. Dur-ing the 1980s, Troy won two Division II national champion-ships, but the pro-gram was a rebuild-ing 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 FCS status. The program was still technically Division II, although it was not allowed to

compete in the playoffs. Blakeney’s first squad finished 5-6, but a 10-1 second year, which included a 41-7 win over FBS member Arkansas State, gave Troy fans a glimpse of what was to come. Troy hit its first full season of FCS play running in 1993 when Blakeney led the Trojans to a 12-1-1 finish and a berth in the FCS semifinals. The 10-0-1 regular-season finish was the program’s first undefeated season in school history while playing a complete schedule. Troy finished the regular season 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 re-cord 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 FCS seasons, Blakeney’s rebuilding skills were displayed once again during the 1996 season after the loss of 23 seniors from the 1995 squad.

land 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 FCS semifi-nals. That netted a fourth-place finish 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 43 8-1 mark over four years. That eclipsed the 1995 senior class that had amassed a 41-7-1 record. Those groups represented Blak-eney’s first two recruiting classes at Troy.The Trojans became the first team in NCAA history to advance to the FCS play-offs in their first four seasons of eligibility and finished with seven playoff berths in eight full seasons of FCS membership. Untimely injuries and four losses by seven points or less doomed the 1997 team as it slipped to a 5-6 record despite an early-season ranking that saw the Trojans rise as high as No. 2 nationally. A return to the FCS playoffs in 1998 highlighted an 8-4 season that saw the Trojans finish 11th (Sports Network) and 13th (ESPN/USA Today) in the polls.

The Trojans climbed back to the top of the charts in 1999, when Troy was the consensus 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 FCS 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 winning the Buck Buchanan Award as the top FCS 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 FCSplayoffs to Appalachian State. They still finished the season ranked in the Top 10 in all three FCS 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 summer of 2000, he was honored

with the Johnny Vaught Lifetime Achievement Award by the All-American Football Foundation. And while success has certainly been a mainstay of the Trojans on the field, numerous Troy players have parlayed their ability into professional careers as well. More than a dozen players have been selected in the NFL Draft during Blakeney’s Troy career, five in the past six years. Demarcus Ware (first round by the Dallas Cowboys in 2005) set the standard when he was taken 11th overall, but that mark was equalled last April. Leodis McKelvin tied the school and Sun Belt record when he was selected 11th overall

Blakeney Quick FactWhen the Trojans jumped to Division I-A status in 2001, Blakeney became only the second coach in NCAA history to lead a program from Division II to Division I-A, joining UCF’s Gene McDowell.

eight former Trojans inked free agent deals with various NFL clubs. 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 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’ offen-sive 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), compil-ing 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 short-stop and third base for head coach Paul Nix. He earned his master’s degree in education from the University of Monte-vallo 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 Univer-sity of Alabama-Birmingham medical school, is a doctor of pathology in Columbia, Tenn. Julie, a Troy marketing gradu-ate, works for an insurance firm in Birmingham. Tiffany, who graduated with an international business degree from Troy, lives with her husband, Jason Rash, in Atlanta. The Blak-eneys have three granddaughters, Caroline Elizabeth Taylor, Madeline Ann Rash and Danielle Avery Rash.

Shayne Wasden enters his fifth season on the Troy football staff and in the collegiate ranks. He has served as receivers coach and special teams coordinator for the past four seasons, and was promoted to Assistant Head Coach in January 2008. While coaching at Troy University, Wadsden has had the opportunity to coach many great players. One player, Troy receiver Gary Banks, set the sin-gle-season receiving record. He has also had the opportunity to coach Troy’s all-time leading punter, Thomas Olmstead, Troy’s all-time leader in field goals, Greg Whibbs, and also Troy’s all-time leading punt returner, Leodis McKelvin. During the first year under Wadsden’s leadership, the special teams improved in four out of five national rankings. The punt return position im-proved from 95th to within the top 30 in all four years under Wadsden. This past year, McKelvin finished the year fourth in the nation. In each of Wads-den’s four years, Troy has had at least one special teams unit rank in the top 25 nationally. He joined the staff in May 2004, following a successful career as a high school head coach in Alabama. Wadsden has served as the head coach at Georgiana, Opp and Eufaula High Schools. In 11 seasons as high school head coach, Wadsden’s teams posted a record of 91 wins and 34 losses, and advanced to the postseason 10 times. His final time at Eufaula finished 11-1 and was ranked number one in Class 5A to end the regular season. Wadsden came to Troy as a familiar face, having played wide receiver for Troy head coach Larry Blakeney at Auburn in the late 1980s. He earned

three letters for the Tigers and played in three bowl games (1987-90). Coaching comes naturally to the Wadsden family. In addition to his father, Bobby Was-den, who coached for more the 35 years, Shayne’s brother, Tommy, also coaches at the high school level. A 1992 graduate of Auburn with a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Sci-ence, Wadsden added a Master’s in Education Administration from Troy University in 1998. Wasden is married to the former Patrice Moseley, and the couple has two daughter, Mary Beth (14) and Anna Shay (10).

Neal Brown enters his third season at Troy as the inside receivers coach, and his first as the offensive coordinator of the Trojans air raid offense. Brown along with outside receivers Coach Shayne Wasden, led the Trojans receiving core to unprece-dented heights in 2006. Troy had the second ranked passing offense in the Sun Belt Conference and finished the season with three receivers in the top-10 in receptions. The offense was among the nation’s leaders last season in scoring, total of-fense, rushing, passing and the most plays from scrimmage. Brown’s hiring in March of 2006 reunited him with new offensive coordinator Tony Franklin, who he played for at the University of Kentucky and the National Indoor Football League’s Lexington Horsemen. Brown came to Troy after serving as the wide receivers coach at the University of Delaware, a perennial I-AA power. He started three freshmen in the Blue Hens’ spread attack and led them to a 6-5 record. Prior to his stint at Delaware, Brown, 28, served as wide receivers and quarter-backs coach at NCAA I-AA Sacred Heart in 2004, leading the Fairfield, Conn., school to a record of 6-4 overall and the top ranked scoring offense in the conference. Brown came to Sacred Heart after working as tight ends coach and offensive line assistant at the University of Massachusetts. In 2003, he helped lead the Min-utemen to a share of the Atlantic 10 title and a berth in the NCAA I-AA playoffs. He earned his undergraduate degree in Business Management in 2002 and his Master’s in Business Administration in 2005 both from the University of Massachu-setts.

Jeremy Rowell begins his 12th year on the Troy coaching staff. He was pro-moted to defensive coordinator last spring after six seasons overseeing the defensive backfield. Last season, Rowell coached the 11th overall pick in the NFL Draft in Leodis McKelvin, along with one the nation’s leader in interceptions, Elbert Mack, in the defen-sive secondary. Under Rowell, the Trojans have flourished in the defensive backfield, becom-ing 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 turnover margin of +0.92 tied for 10th. In 2003, despite returning just four starters, the defense ranked sixth nationally in turnovers gained (35), 26th in rushing defense (125.5 yards), 44th in pass efficiency defense (117.59) and 39th in total defense (349.67 yards). De-fensive 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 intercep-tions, earning College Foot-ball News All-Independent honors as well as mention on the ESPN.com All-Independent team. Rayshun Reed joined Ansley on both all-independent teams and earned an invitation to partici-pate in the Blue-Gray All-Star Football Classic on Christmas Day. The trend started in 2001 when Rowell moved to the secondary after coach-ing 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 fin-ished 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

Randy Butler brings almost 30 years of collegiate coaching experience with him to Troy in 2008 as the Trojans’ defensive ends coach. Butler spent 17 of his 29 seasons as a college coach in various roles at his alma mater, Southern Mississippi. During his time at Southern Miss, Butler spent seven years coaching tight ends and 10 years coaching defensive linemen. He also spent seven seasons as the Assistant Head Coach and three as the recruiting coordinator for the Golden Eagles. Over the past three seasons, Butler coached three-time All-Conference USA selection Shawn Nelson, who had the three best years ever by a tight end in school history, registering 35 catches for 540 yards and five touchdowns as a freshman; finishing with 36 catches for 506 yards and three touchdowns as a sophomore and 33 catches for 455 yards and five scores as a junior. He was named the New Orleans Bowl MVP in 2005, posting six catches for 121 yards and two touchdowns. Butler also coached the tight end position at Southern Miss during the 1993 and 1994 seasons. In 1994, Butler coached former Golden Eagle standout Terry Hardy, who was later drafted by the Arizona Cardinals in the fifth round and played several years in the NFL. In his nine years on the defensive side of the ball, Butler was an integral part of helping continue the tradition of the Southern Miss defense. Butler’s development of defensive lines over his tenure at Southern Miss helped further the long-time defensive tradition that is synony-mous with Golden Eagle football. Butler spent the 2004 season retooling the defensive line after losing standout defensive ends Terrell Paul and Ronald Jones. The Golden Eagles finished 7-5 for the season and defeated North Texas, 31-10, in the Wyndham New Orleans Bowl. That defense finished No. 2 in Conference USA in scoring defense and No. 3 in total defense. He coached an outstanding line that helped the 2003 Golden Eagles win their fourth Conference USA championship and earn a third trip to the Liberty Bowl. The defense posted some impressive numbers that season, including a No. 14 ranking in scoring defense, No. 13 in pass efficiency defense and No. 23 in total defense. Four of the defensive linemen earned all-league honors for their efforts. Paul anchored the group with a first-team All-Conference USA selection, while Jones and Eric Scott picked up all-conference third-team honors. Redshirt-freshman Greg Casnave was one of three Southern Miss players to be named to the All-Freshman team. Jones signed an NFL free agent contract with the Indianapolis Colts. Butler also coached a stellar defensive line in 2002, led by Paul, an All-Conference defensive end as a junior. The defensive line jelled toward the end of the season and played its best football down the stretch, twice earning defensive Player of the Week honors from the Southern Miss coaching staff. Following the 2000 season, three defensive linemen coached by Butler were selected for postseason honors, three were drafted in the NFL Draft and one more signed a free agent contract. Cedric Scott was selected in the fourth round by the New York Giants, Daleroy Stewart in

in the sixth by the Dallas Cowboys and John Nix in the seventh, also by the Cowboys. De-Quincy Scott signed a free agent contract with the San Diego Chargers. That same sea-son, three were named to various All-Conference USA teams -- Cedric Scott, DeQuincy Scott and Nix. Cedric Scott was named C-USA Co-Defensive Player of the Year and an All-American by The Associated Press and Football News. Butler also coached Jeff Posey, a two-year standout who signed a free agent contract with San Francisco in 1996 and played 11 years in the NFL. In 1997, he coached Robert Brown, a four-year letterwinner and All-Conference USA first-team hon-oree. Brown has played professionally in the Canadian Football League for several years and has been an all-pro selection. Butler, the former Southern Miss standout was named Assistant Head Coach after the 2000 season. He moved over to coach defensive ends prior to the 1995 season. Prior to moving back to the defensive side of the ball, Butler spent two seasons coaching the tight ends. Butler was an all-star performer at Southern Miss at offensive tackle, earned three letters, and participated in both the East-West Shrine Game and the Senior Bowl following his collegiate career. After a brief stint in the NFL with the Baltimore Colts, Butler returned to his alma mater as a graduate assistant coach. He was a part of the Southern Miss staff that coached the Golden Eagles to a 16-14 victory over McNeese

State in the 1980 Inde-pendence Bowl. In 1981, he accepted a position as the offensive and defen-sive line coach at the University of the South. After one season there, Butler went to Southern Methodist Univer-sity, where he

spent the next five seasons as SMU’s defensive ends and outside linebacker’s coach under Bobby Collins. While at SMU, Butler was a part of the 1983 Cotton Bowl and Southwest Conference Championship squad. In addition, the Mustangs won the 1984 league title and participated in the Aloha Bowl and in the 1983 Sun Bowl. Butler graduated from Southern Miss in 1979 with his bachelor’s degree and with his master’s degree in 1981. He was inducted into the Southern Miss Athletics Hall of Fame prior to the 1999 spring game. He is married to the former Angela Smith, also a Southern Miss graduate. The couple has two children, Anna Leigh and Chelsea.

While there are 31 NCAA conferences that sponsor multiple sports, the Sun Belt is one of only eleven to participate in the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) and Football Bowl Subdivision. The Sun Belt was formed in 1976 with six members competing in four men’s sports, and today comprises 13 institutions of higher learning while sponsoring 19 championship sports for men and women. The Sun Belt Conference enters its 33rd season in 2008-2009 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 volley-

ball; and nine men’s sports – baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, swimming and diving, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field. Each of the 19 sports has seen numerous team and individual accomplishments, and 12 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 excellence in the 21st century, and facility upgrades and expansion are occurring on virtually every campus. During the 2007-08 academic year alone the Sun Belt Conference accomplished numerous feats. In the fall of 2007 Middle Tennessee and Western Kentucky University both represented the league in the NCAA Volleyball Tournament – the first time the Sun Belt has sent multiple teams to the NCAA Tournament in volleyball. Middle Tennessee did not disappoint, as the Blue Raiders advanced to the “Sweet 16” – marking the first time a Sun Belt school has made the round of 16 in volleyball. The Sun Belt momentum continued in the sport of football as Florida Atlantic defeated Memphis in the R+L Carriers New

Orleans Bowl. The win marked the second consecu-tive season that a Sun Belt team has defeated its Conference USA opponent as Troy defeated Rice in 2006. In men’s basketball, Western Kentucky Uni-versity and South Alabama both received bids to the 2008 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament – the first the league has sent two teams to the “Big Dance’” since 1994. WKU’s 101-99 win over 14th ranked Drake followed by a 72-63 win over San Di-ego made the Hilltoppers the first Sun Belt team to reach the tournament’s “Sweet 16” since 1993. Despite losing more than half of the league’s All-Conference members from 2006-07, Sun Belt women’s basketball ranked in the top half (14th of 31) of the final league RPI rankings for the 10th consecutive year. In six of those ten years, Sun Belt women’s basketball has placed in the national top 10 for RPI. There was no shortage of success in the Sun Belt’s spring sports in 2008 as well. In tennis, Florida International and Denver represented the Sun Belt in the NCAA Women’s Tennis Tournament

– with the Pioneers advancing to the second round. In men’s tennis, South Alabama and Denver represented the league in the NCAA Tournament with USA advancing to the second round. Sun Belt golf was also well represented in postseason play as Middle Tennessee’s men’s team and Denver’s women’s team both reached the NCAA National Championship. Both the Blue Raiders and Pioneers finished in the top ten of their regionals to advance to the final stage of the NCAAs. The 2008 Sun Belt softball season saw Louisiana-Lafayette reach the Women’s College World Series after defeating Hous-ton in three games in the Super Regionals and winning the NCAA Baton Rouge Regional by defeating East Carolina and in-state rival LSU twice. In baseball, the Sun Belt Conference has sent multiple teams to the NCAA tournament each year since 1988. The 20-year streak of having two or more teams reach NCAA play is matched by only four other conferences (ACC, Big West, SEC, Pac-10). Because of its status as a member of the Division 1-A football coalition, the Sun Belt Conference has a permanent seat on the NCAA’s 17-member Board of Directors. As a result, the conference has a crucial voice on some of the most pressing issues in college athletics and will always have a role in the implementation of any future NCAA legislation and guidelines. The conference continues to utilize television to grow and promote the league. Adding volleyball, baseball and softball to

the conference’s television package has resulted in more national and regional television exposure for the league than at any time in its history. The conference’s regional television package enables live telecasts of Sun Belt events to reach over 20 million households. Additionally, ESPN televised the conference’s men’s basketball championship game for the 28th straight season in 2008, marking its longest affiliation with any conference in the country. The Sun Belt Conference has partnered with JumpTV Sports, 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 is one of the few conferences in the nation to provide video highlights and features on its website from each of the league’s respective championships. This technology serves as a great recruiting tool for schools by enabling anyone in the world with internet access to view the confer-ence’s championship events, and fans in five different countries viewed the confer-ence’s most recent soccer championship. Prominent Sun Belt alumni include United States Secretary of State Condoleez-za Rice (Denver), NFL Hall of Fame football player “Mean” Joe Greene (North Texas), Arizona Diamondbacks All-Star baseball player Luis Gonzalez (South Alabama), for-mer member of the United States Senate and House of Representatives John Breaux (Louisiana-Lafayette), country music super-star Tim McGraw (Louisiana-Monroe), and actor Andy Garcia (Florida International). The conference’s first 32 years have also produced numerous individual national champions along with Olympic track medalists including Earl Bell, Tom Hill and Al Joyner (Arkansas State), Hollis Conway (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 championship in 1985 (one of eight women’s Final 4 appearances by Sun Belt schools: Old Dominion - 1983, 1985; WKU – 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 Col-lege World Series (Louisiana-Lafayette in 2000), the women’s College World Series (Louisiana-Lafayette in 1993, 1995, 1996, 2003), and had 10 players selected in the first round of the NBA Draft. The Sun Belt Conference is led by Commissioner Wright Waters, who is in his ninth full year as commissioner. He was named the conference’s fourth commissioner in February of 1999 following the tenures of Vic Bubas (1976-1990), Jim Les-sig (1990-1991), and Craig Thompson (1991-1998). The league’s annual all sports champion is awarded the Vic Bubas Cup, named after the conference’s first commissioner. The conference office has been headquartered in downtown New Orleans since 2000 after moving from suburban Metai-rie, 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 conference office was located in Charlotte, N.C., from 1976-77.

2002 - In June, Troy crossed the last hurdle to full Division I-A membership, submitting schedules with a minimum of six Divi-sion I-A schools for five seasons. In July, construction began on expansion of Movie Gallery Veterans Stadium increasing capac-ity to 30,000. Troy finished 4-8 in its first season as a full mem-ber of NCAA Division I-A, playing eight games away from home. The remodeling of Movie Gallery Veterans Stadium began in No-vember, and the final home game of the season against Utah State was played amid construction. Defensive end Osi Umeny-iora finished second in the nation in sacks with 16, while the Troy defense ranked fourth nationally in total defense.2003 - In May, Troy joined in a partnership with Movie Gallery to rename the football stadium to Movie Gallery Veterans Sta-dium. A month later, the Trojans received an invitation to join the Sun Belt Conference in football in 2004 and all sports in the 2005-06 school year. The Trojans opened their new, 30,000-seat home on September 20 with a 28-0 win over Southeastern Louisiana and followed the next week with a 33-24 victory over Marshall that prompted the Trojan students to tear down the goal posts. Troy finished the season ranked third nationally in interceptions. DeWhitt Betterson tallied a school-record 1,161 yards rushing on 244 carries.2004 - Troy opens its first season as a member of the Sun Belt Conference with a road victory at Marshall and a nationally-tele-vised win over nationally-ranked Missouri on ESPN2. Follow-ing the two wins, Troy dropped four of its next five games by a combined 22 points, including a four-point loss at defending national champion LSU. The Trojans went on a run from there, winning their final four games of the season to finish 7-4. The team was rewarded with the first bowl invitation in school histo-ry. On December 30, the Trojans played Northern Illinois in the fifth annual Silicon Valley Football Classic in San Jose. Senior Demarcus Ware was named the Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Year, and in April, was selected in the first round of the NFL Draft, with the 11th overall pick (Dallas Cowboys).

2005 - The Trojans’ second season in the Sun Belt did not prove to be as successful as the first. The highligh of the season was a 13-10 victory over North Texas in Denton, snapping a 22-game conference Mean Green win streak in front a national television audience. That victory, however, was overshadowed by a pair of home losses and a 4-7 record.2006 - The Trojans debuted a new offensive philosophy that moved away from the traditional power ground game the pro-gram was known for. Troy led the Sun Belt Conference in passin en route to their first league title. Near misses againstr Florida State and Georgia Tech early in the season, along with tough losses at UAB and Nebraska, left the Trojans at 1-4 heading into conference play. The team rebounded with four straight wins before a home loss to Arkansas State put the Trojans’ backs against the wall. That wall fell when Troy won in the “Miracle at Murfreesboro”, defeating Middle Tennessee State after scoring two touchdowns with just 2:14 to play in the game. A win over FIU the next week clinched Troy’s league title and a berth in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl where the Trojans steamed Rice 41-17 to complete an 8-5 season. Junior quarterback Omar Haugabook earned Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year hon-ors, Newcomer of the Year and the Offensive Player of the Year honors before throwing for four touchdowns in the New Orleans Bowl and running for another one en route to winning MVP hon-ors.2007 - The Trojans faced two finalists for the Heisman Trophy, including facing the eventual Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow. Troy faced four SEC opponents during the season, inclduing the defending national champion in Florida. The Trojans defeated Oklahoma State in front of a nationally-televised audience at Movie Gallery Veterans Stadium, 43-22, and never trailed in the contest. The Trojans were undefeated in connference play headed into the final game season, unfortunately losing to FAU and settling for a share of the Sun Belt Conference champion-ship.

ALABAMA COLLEGIATE CONFERENCE Formed in 1960, the ACC as it was known, was created by four in-state rivals; Troy, Jacksonville State, Florence State (now North Alabama) and Livingston (now West Alabama). The Tro-jans 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. Ber-nard. It was the first conferene that the Trojans joined, and they would claim the league title for the first time in 1939. They also won back-to-back titles in 1941 and 1942.

BILLY ATKINS Took over as head coach at Troy after William Clipson’s 1-8 sea-son in 1965, and immediately revived the program. He brought the Trojans to national prominence, and during his six years his record was 44-16-2 including the 168 NAIA National Champion-ship. He coached several of the all-time greats in Troy historym including Sim Byrd, Ronnie Shelley and Vince Green. Atkins is second on the school’s all-time win list behind current head coach Larry Blakeney.

BATTLE FOR THE OL’ SCHOOL BELL At every level of college football, there are great rivalries. For Troy, it is bitter rival Jacksonville State University. The two teams began playing each other in 1924, with the Gamecocks holding a 33-28-2 edge in the all-time series. However, the Tro-jans have won seven straight and 12-of-15 in the series. Both schools began as teacher colleges in the late 1800s, and when the teams first played, they created a trophy that the winner would have until the teams met again the following year. School officials determined that it was fitting for two teachers colleges to play for a school bell. The Ol’ School Bell, as it is called, has been in Troy for the past 10 years and will remain in Troy in the near future since the teams are not scheduled to play against each other.

BOWL GAMES The Trojans have played in three bowl games in their history - the 1948 Paper Bowl, in Pensacola, Fla., the 2004 Silicon Valley Football Classic, in San Jose, Calif. and the 2006 R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. The Trojans faced archrival Jacksonville State in the Paper Bowl, losing 19-0 at Pen-sacola 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 in-dustry at Cantonment means much to Pen-sacola 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

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 Il-linois from the Mid-American Conference. After jumping out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter, the Trojans turned as cold as the weather and dropped a 34-21 decision to the Huskies. The Tro-jans earned their first bowl victory in 2005, downing Rice 41-17 in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. Troy earned its way into the bowl by posting a 6-1 record in Sun Belt Conference play to capture their first SBC title.

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

SIM BYRD One of the greatest players ever to play at Troy, Byrd owns many of the school’s all-time passing records. During his three sea-sons at quarterback, he guided the Trojans to a 24-8 record and the school’s first national championship, the NAIA title in 1968. Named first-team All-America and All-ACC his senior year in 1968, he set the single-season record for passing yards with 3,569 in 1968 while also setting school records for comple-tions (260), attempts (414).

TED CLEM Clem set the standard for all Troy kickers. He was the key par-ticipant 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 champi-onship. Clem set the single-game record for points in a game with 14, and owns the career record book. Clem kicked 48 field goals in his four years in Troy, from 1984-87. He still holds the school record for attempts with 78 and consecutive PATs made (166).

NICK COLBERT Nick Colbert was named as a 2000 College Football 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 stu-dent-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 an-nual member on the school’s Provost’s and Chancellor’s lists for academic excellence. Since 1959, when the first class was selected, 586 scholar-athletes have been awarded the honor based on superior academic performance, outstanding football ability, strong leadership and citizenship. Each scholar-athlete is awarded an $18,000 postgraduate scholarship and honored at the Foundation’s Annual Awards Dinner at the Waldorf-As-toria 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 Tro-jans traveled to face fourth-ranked ranked Nebraska. The Tro-jans 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 Nut-ter capped an improbable half, throwing a 31-yard touchdown pass to Heyward Skipper to cut the Cornhuskers’ lead to 28-14 at the intermission. The Trojans fought valiantly in the second half, keeping Nebraska out of the 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 Gailey led the Trojans to the 1984 Division II national champion-ship. In his two seasons at Troy, Gailey led the Trojans to a 19-5 record. After taking over the program in 1983, he guided the Trojans to a five-game improvement, going 7-4 his fist year. His final year, he led the Trojans to the national title.

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

GULF SOUTH CONFERENCE Members from Troy, Delta State, Florence State (now North Ala-bama), 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, giv-ing the conference eight members and the league changed its name to the Gulf South Conference. On June 4, 1990, Troy of-ficially 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 Tex-as lineman to celebrate as the officials signaled the kick was good.

LEODIS MCKELVIN Leodis McKelvin became the second Trojan to be selected in the first round of the NFL Draft when he was selected as the 11th overall pick by the Buffalo Bills. He is also the first Trojan to be named an All-American in football since the Trojans joined the ranks of NCAA Division I.

VIRGIL MCKINLEY Virgil McKinley, a professor at the Troy Normal School, was charged with the task of fielding the first school football team. McKinley, who attended the University of Alabama but never received a football letter, had 14 players try out for the team but kept just 11. He guided the squad to a 1-0-2 record that first season against a variety of community, high school and other university teams.

MIRACLE IN MURFREESBORO Senior receiver Smokey Hampton turned in the performance of a lifetime with catch-after-catch, leading the Trojans to a victory at Middle Tennessee after trailing 20-7 with just 2:19 remain-ing in the contest. The senior combined with Gary Banks to catch touchdown passes in a 21-20 Troy victory.

BROCK NUTTER A four-year starter for the Trojans, Brock Nutter never missed a start, starting all 44 regular-season games and four I-AA play-off games, setting a new school record. He was selected as team captain his last three seasons and held a 35-13 record as a starter. Nutter rewrote the passing record book, completing 581 passes, surpassing Sim Byrd’s record of 575. He also at-tempted 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 in 2005, as the Trojans fell 31-28 at UL-Lafayette on October 29. The other games were a 13-10 win over former Southland Football League rival Sam Houston State on Oct. 11, 1997 and a 19-16 home loss to Utah State on Nov. 16, 2002.

PRO BOWL The NFL Pro Bowl featured two former Troy Trojans in the start-ing lineup for the National Football Conference (NFC) in Osi Umeniyora and Demarcus Ware. It marked the first time that two Trojans were starting in the prestigious postseason game for the National Football League.

STATISTICAL CHAMPIONS Since Troy joined the NCAA in the 1970s, the Trojans have had two statistical champions in an individual category. Quarterback Willie Tullis led the nation in passing efficiency during the 1980 season among Division II teams. Tullis had a passing efficien-cy rating of 147.5 after completing 108 of 203 passes (.532 percentage). He connected for 15 touchdowns and threw just eight interceptions. Tullis threw for 1,880 yards in 10 games that season. Andy Swafford captured the other statistical title in 1997 at the Division I-AA level, when he led the nation in kickoff returns, averaging 31.4 yards on 14 kick returns. He tallied 440 yards in returns during the 1997 campaign.

SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE In the summer of 1995, Troy, along with Jacksonville State, McNeese State, Nicholls In the summer of 1995, Troy, along with Jacksonville State, McNeese State, Nicholls State, Northwestern State, Sam Houston State, Southwest Texas and Stephen F. Aus-tin, met in New Orleans to reform the South-land 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; An-

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

SUN BELT CONFERENCE On May 23, 2003, Troy University accepted an invitation to join the Sun Belt Conference in all sports, marking the first time all of Troy’s sports will be in the same league since the school moved to Division I in 1993. The Troy football program began play in its first Division I-A conference home in the fall of 2004, while all other sports began competition in the league begin-ning in the fall of 2005.

THE NIGHT THE LIGHTS WENT OUT IN TROY On Sept. 3, 1988, Troy opened its defense of the 1987 Division II national championship at home against Southeast Missouri. Clinging to a 13-6 lead midway through the third quarter of a tight game, a transformer that controlled power to the lights at then Memorial Stadium malfunctioned, cutting the stadium lights. During the ensuing two-and-a-half hour delay, the teams discussed their options. After deciding against moving the game to Montgomery’s Cramton Bowl, the teams elected to fin-ish 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 nu-merous 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, Me-morial 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. In the spring of 2008, T-Roy was voted the third best mascot in the nation.

TROJANS - THE NICKNAME The Troy athletic teams have had a variety of names through the years - from Bulldogs to Teachers to Red Wave. As the foot-ball 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 found-ed 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 . In 2004, the Board of Trustees voted to remove the “State” from the name, making it Troy University. Trustees felt the name change allows the university system to reflect its quality, funding sources and global mission better.

VOICES OF THE TROJANS Over the past 25 years, Troy has had four play-by-play announc-ers, including current announcer Barry McKnight. For the ma-jority of those years, Ralph Black was the “Voice of the Trojans.” Black called more than 200 of Troy’s football games, including both Division II national championships. Black served as the play-by-play announcer for all Troy sports, having broadcast two Division II national championships in baseball and the Division II championship game in basketball (1992).

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

Led by a record-setting aerial attack and a de-fense that recorded four shutouts, the Red Wave claimed the 1969 NAIA National Championship with a 43-35 victory over Texas A&I at Cramton Bowl (Montgomery, Ala.). Under the guidance of third-year head coach Bill Atkins, Troy opened the season with a 49-31 win over Samford. In that game, quarterback Sim Byrd threw five touchdowns, hitting 23-of-33 passes for 443 yards. The Red Wave continued to roll, winning its first seven games. Byrd led Troy past Delta State, 35-23, connecting on 34-of-49 passes for 325 yards and three touchdowns; also rushing for two touch-downs. Her followed that performance with five touchdown passes, all to Danny Grant, in a 52-0 win over Mc-Neese State. Troy had risen to num-ber three in the national poll before drop-ping a 12-3 deci-sion to Tennessee-Martin. Byrd and Heard threw eight in-terceptions as the Red Wave could only muster a 34-yard field goal by Randy Hicks in the loss. Troy bounced back the next week, and demolished Concordia (W.Va.), 76-0, on Homecoming at Movie Gallery S t a -dium, rising back to number four in the NAIA rankings and earning a berth in the playoffs. Byrd was at it again, throwing for six touch-downs and rushing for another, while Ronnie Shelley returned two punts for touchdowns. The Red Wave advanced to the title game with a 63-10 victory over Willamette (Ore.) in the semifinals. Byrd threw for six touch-downs, while his back-up Al Heard threw two. Shelley joined the scoring with a 66-yard in-terception. In the national title game, Byrd connect-ed on 25-of-44 passes and threw five touch-downs en route to Most Valuable Back hon-ors as the Red Wave cruised past Texas A&I.

Ted Clem’s 50-yard field goal with no time remaining handed Troy an 18-17 win over North Dakota State and the 1984 Division II national championship in McAllen, Texas. With under 1:30 left in the game, Troy senior quarterback Carey Christensen, who had suffered a foot injury earlier in the season and split time with freshman Mike Turk, led Troy on a last-ditch drive. Starting from the Trojans’ 10-yard line, Christensen led Troy to the Bison 32. With the clock running, the kicking team was rushed onto the field. Clem’s foot met the ball as the horn sounded, and his attempt sailed through the uprights for the win. “The Kick,” as it is known in Trojan football lore, was the longest field goal in Division II playoff history at the time. Clem was not the only freshman walk-on to make an impact on the Trojans win-ning the national title. Turk, who walked on in the spring of 1984, moved rapidly up the depth chart and was thrust into the starting role in the third game of the season after Christensen went down with a broken foot. Turk carried the load the rest of the season as the starter, going on to earn Gulf South Conference “Freshman of the Year” honors. Then coached by Chan Gailey, the Trojans opened the sea-son 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 quarter-back sneak from the 1-yard line. On the ensuing kickoff, Brewster forced a fumble, which Troy recovered at the Choctaw 20. One play later, Turk found Rufus Cox with a TD pass to preserve the Trojans’ victory. The offense was back in order against Delta State, racking up 459 yards in a 35-20 win over the Statesmen. The Trojans then faced another setback, dropping a 13-10 decision to UNA. Troy had two chances late in the game, but an interception coupled with Clem missing a 39-yard field goal with nine seconds left, sealed Troy’s fate. Troy bounced back to win its last two games and the Gulf South Conference title. The Trojans routed UT-Martin,

31-7, on Homecoming and wrapped up the regular season with a 42-39 victory over archrival

Jacksonville State. With the GSC title, the

Trojans advanced to the Division II playoffs and hosted Central State (Ohio) in the

quarterfinals. The wishbone offense flexed its muscles, running up 579 yards of offense, as Troy pulled out a 31-21 win. The semifinals were a repeat of the quarterfinals as the offense ruled the day. Troy pounded out 537 yards and demolished Towson State, 45-3, to advance to the title game.

The Trojans got off to 0-1-1 start, dropping an 18-17 decision on the road at Southeast Missouri in the opener. Ted Clem missed a 42-yard field goal in the final minute which would have given the Trojans the lead. Troy followed its tough opener with a 17-17 tie with Nicholls State. On a rain-soaked field, Clem missed another clutch kick, this time a 40-yarder with a 1:39 left. Troy's offense showed its strength in the home opener against West Texas with a 45-0 rout. Mike Turk led the offense with 50 yards on six carries as the offense racked up 356 yards. The Trojans picked up some confidence in pulling out a 24-17 win over Livingston on the road. The Troy offense picked up 349 yards of total offense, highlighted by Titus Dixon's 63-yard touchdown reception from Turk in the second quar-ter. The offense continued to roll for Troy the next week, rack-ing 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 touch-down run in the fourth quarter. The Trojans put up more than 40 points their next two games to extend their winning streak to five. Troy went on the road and demolished nationally ranked and previously undefeated Valdosta State, 44-7 and followed that with a 48-21 victory over Mississippi College, as Thomas Miller and Al Harris both ran back interceptions for touchdowns. The Trojans scored 30 or more in the next three games to capture eight in a row. Tony Jackson rushed for 123 yards on 20 carries as Troy defeated Delta State, 38-6. The next week Turk guided the offense, going 7-of-10 for 112 yards and one touchdown, while rushing for 67 yards on seven carries and 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 touchdowns and a 97-yard TD pass to Dixon. With the Gulf South Conference title on the line, Troy defeated archrival Jacksonville State, 14-9, to earn a berth in the Division II playoffs. Turk led the offense with 101 yards rushing, with Jackson adding 78. Troy'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 sea-son and was runner-up for the Harlon Hill Trophy.

at fullback in the last quarter, the stubborn defense put up by Highland Park began to weaken and three touch-downs were made,” according to the game report in the Montgomery Advertiser. He is the all-time winningest coach by percentage at Troy.

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.”

Ross V. “Flivver” Ford1924 l 2-1-4A three-year letterwinner at Auburn, Ross V. “Flivver” Ford became the fifth head coach in Troy’s history, coaching for just one season. Ford 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 ac-count. The game proved to be a building block of the rivalry and Troy football.

AL LUCAS1999 BUCK BUCHANAN AWARD WINNER

This award is given yearly to the top defensive player in the nation at the NCAA Division I-AA level. The award was named after former Grambling State defensive lineman Buck Buch-anan, who went on to a stellar career with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Two-time All-American defensive tackle Al Lucas claimed the award after the 1999 season. That year, he led the Trojans with an 11-2 record and a berth in the Division I-AA quarterfi-nals. He finished with 126 tackles, which ranked second on the team and recorded 20 tackles for loss during the season.

NICK COLBERT2000 SCHOLAR-ATHLETE AWARD

Nick Colbert was named a 2000 College Football Scholar-Ath-lete by the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame. He was one 16 award recepients named in 2000 for the award which represents college football’s finest student-athletes from all divisions.

Colbert graduated from Troy in May 2001 with his degree in Biology, and finished with a grade point average better than 3.7. He was an annual member on the school’s Provost and Chancellor Lists for academic excellence.

Since 1959, when the first class was selected, 586 scholar-athletes have been awarded the honor based on superior aca-demic performance, outstanding football ability, strong lead-ership and citizenship. Each scholar-athlete is awarded an $18,000 postgraduate scholarship and honored at an annual dinner for the award.

troy universityAN ERA OF EXCELLENCETroy University’s tradition of teaching excellence dates to its founding on February 26, 1887, when an act of the Alabama Legislature established Troy State Normal School as an institution to train teachers for Alabama’s schools. Joseph Macon Dill was the institution’s first president. In 1893, the school was renamed Troy State Normal College. The Normal College offered extension courses for teachers and granted teaching certificates until 1929, when the State Board of Education changed the charter of the institution and renamed it Troy State Teacher’s College. That same year, the college moved to its present site and the first two buildings were dedicated: Shackelford Hall, named for Edward Madison Shackelford, president of the school from 1899-1936, and Bibb Graves Hall, named for Da-vid Bibb Graves, Alabama’s “education governor”. Governor Bibb Graves is also remembered for commissioning the Olmsted Broth-ers architectural firm of Brookline, Massachusetts, to design the campus landscape plan. Like many American universities, Troy State Teacher’s College enjoyed one of it most prosperous periods of growth in the years following World War II when returning vet-erans took advantage of the GI Bill. The enrollment of the College more than doubled and this growth led to the introduction of de-gree programs in disciplines other than education, most notably in business. In 1957, the State Board of Education recognized this expanded role and dropped “Teacher’s” from Troy State College’s name. The decade of the 1950s also marked the University’s long relationship with the United States Military, as extension courses were offered on nearby bases, first at Fort Rucker, near Dothan, and later at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery. A separate Troy State College teaching center was established at Fort Rucker in 1961, which evolved into the present-day Dothan Campus. A similar center, begun at Maxwell Air Force Base in 1965, led to the creation of the present-day Montgomery Campus. These pro-grams were the forerunners of the modern University College divi-sion of Troy University, which operates all TROY teaching sites outside of Alabama. In 1973, the University opened sites at military bases in Florida. Today, University College operates more than 60 sites in 17 U.S. states and 11 nations. In 1967, Gov. Lurleen B. Wallace appointed eight members to the newly established Troy State College Board of Trustees, removing the institution from the control of the State Board of Education. One of the first acts of the new board was to recommend the change of the name to Troy State University. The new name became official on Dec. 14, 1967. In 1975, the Phenix City Campus was opened as a branch of the main campus. In 1982, the Troy State University System was formed, as the campuses in Dothan and Montgomery were granted independent accreditation status. In April of 2004 the Board of Trustees voted to drop “State” from the University’s name to better reflect the institution’s worldwide mission. Starting August 2005, all TROY campuses were again unified under one ac-creditation.A GLOBAL UNIVERSITYOver the past two decades, Troy University has emerged as a key player in international education. In addition to the University College sites abroad in diverse places such as Korea, Germany and Malaysia, the University brings the world to Alabama, as approximately 700 students on the Troy Campus come from other nations. Chancellor Hawkins calls the TROY approach to internationalization a “three-legged stool” of student recruitment, faculty development and study abroad. More than 114,000 people around the world call Troy University their alma mater. The University’s Office of Alumni Affairs currently has chartered alumni chapters. TROY is proud of her alumni, in all walks of life, who have made a great impact in their chosen field of endeavor.ACADEMIC MISSION OF TROY UNIVERSITYCOLLEGE OF ARTS & SCIENCESThis traditional division of the University offers curricula in the liberal arts and assures a well-rounded educational experience. In the College, the student will find the division of aerospace studies, the department of criminal justice, the sciences, foreign languages, history, political science and English. The College is also home to the department of geomatics, which combines traditional land surveying techniques with the latest technol-ogy.COLLEGE OF COMMUNICATION & FINE ARTSThis division affords the naturally creative individual the opportunity to express himself or herself artistically and to interact daily with proven artists. All areas of concentration within the school give the student facilities for personal expression. A real proving ground for students, TROY’s communi-cation division places students in the newsroom, over the airwaves and behind the camera for actual work in their chosen field. Students write and publish The Tropolitan campus newspaper and The Palladium yearbook; they produce and direct the television programs on the campus TV station; and they broadcast on the 100,000-watt WTSU-FM. The Hall School of Journalism is an innovative part of the learning environment.COLLEGE OF EDUCATIONThis college is the foundation of the University and has a reputation for excellence. Every area of education is offered by the College, including psy-chology. Students gain valuable experience by being exposed to actual classroom-teaching situations — and the placement ratio is exceptionally high for graduates. TROY-trained teachers can be found across the state and nation.SORRELL COLLEGE OF BUSINESSStudying under professors who have proven experience in the business world, College of Business students enjoy a wide variety of curricula, from accounting, management and marketing to international business and information systems. COLLEGE OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICESThis college prepares students for professional practice in several health and human service fields, blending practical experience with a liberal arts and science foundation. Accomplished faculty lead students in several programs, including nursing, rehabilitation, social work, athletic training, kinesiology and health promotion.

“Troy University is more a mosaic than a portrait. It is a university that reflects the world of tomorrow.” --Jack Hawkins, Jr., Ph.D., Chancellor of Troy University

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

Steve Dennis is beginning his fourth year as the Director of Athletics for Troy University.

Dennis came came to the Troy fam-ily from Auburn University, where he served in a variety of capacities begin-ning in 1985.

His final assignment was as the Associate Director of Tigers Unlimited, the Athletics Department’s Development office. In that position, he was responsible for identify-ing, cultivating and solic-iting support from indi-viduals, private industry and corportations for the Athletics Department.

A native of Macon, Ga., Dennis graduated from the University of Georgia, Cum Laude, in 1978.

While at Georgia, Dennis played football for legendary coach Vince Dooley. He was the Bulldogs’ defensive captain in 1978 and was an Academic All-Southeastern Conference selection that same season. During his play-ing career, he played in three bowl games for the Bulldogs.

It is that foundation as a student-ath-lete that guides Dennis in his quest to take Troy athletics toward great things in the future.

Dennis started his professional career as a high school teacher, football coach and baseball coach in Windsor (Ga.). He started his collegiate coaching career at the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga in 1981. In four-plus sea-sons, he coached outside linebackers, the defensive line and special teams for the Moccasins. Dennis went to work as the defensive backs and special teams coach at Auburn in 1985, and he remained on the Tigers’ staff for eight seasons. He was named the SEC Working Coach of the Year in 1986 by The Birmingham Touchdown Club.

During his initial stint with the Tigers, he coached alongside current Troy head coach Larry Blakeney. Current Troy assistant coach Shayne Wasden, as well as former assistant coaches Mike Pelton and James Joseph, all

played for the Tigers while Dennis served on the coaching staff.

Dennis returned to his alma mater in December of 1993, and worked as the defensive backs and special teams coach for the Bulldogs for three sea-sons.

From 1997 until 2002, Dennis was out of college athletics. He worked in sales, marketing and promotions for Georgia Southern Wood, Inc., serv-ing in that role from 1997 until 2000. He then served as Vice President of Cleveland Brothers Construction from 2000 until 2002.

Dennis returned to Auburn to coach tight ends in 2002, before moving to fund-raising within the Auburn Athletics Department in 2003. During his col-lege coaching career, he was part of seven bowl teams and one Division I-AA playoff team.

Dennis and his wife, Lisa, have four children - Chris, Cale, Corey and Allison.
