NEAL BROWN | GAME THREE

NEAL BROWNFOURTH SEASON (26-14) One of the top young minds in college football, Neal Brown has taken Troy football through a renaissance over the past three years. In three short seasons, Brown has led the Trojans to the nation’s eighth-most wins over the 2016 and 2017 seasons, a Sun Belt championship, two bowl victories, back-to-back record-breaking win totals, the nation’s best turnaround, the first top-25 ranking in school and Sun Belt history, record-breaking attendance numbers, NCAA statistical leaders and much more. The sixth-youngest head coach in the Football Bowl Subdivision, Brown has transformed the culture of the Troy football program, which has led to wins on the field, in the classroom, in the community and on the recruiting path. The wins have been plentiful for Brown’s Trojans with 22 victories over a 27-game period dating back to the end of his first season in 2015. Troy set the school’s FBS record for wins in back-to-back seasons as the Trojans won 10 games in 2016 and then followed with 11 victories in 2017, including the upset of the season in college football as Troy knocked off No. 22 LSU in Death Valley. Troy’s 24-21 victory over LSU snapped the Tigers’ 49-game non-conference home winning streak. Troy led 24-7 midway through the fourth quarter and became the first non-conference opponent to hold LSU scoreless in the opening half at home since 2009. The Trojans ended the 2017 season with seven straight wins – the nation’s fourth-longest winning streak heading into 2018 – thanks to an explosive offense and one of the nation’s top defenses. Troy outscored its opponents by a 22-point per-game margin (40.3 – 18.3) during its winning streak and finished the season with the 27th most votes in the final Amway Coaches Poll – the highest final ranking ever by a team in Sun Belt Conference history. Brown raised a trophy following Troy’s final two victories of the 2017 season as the Trojans won their record sixth Sun Belt Conference championship with a thrilling victory at Arkansas State in the final game of the regular season. Two weeks later, Troy set a R&L Carriers New Orleans Bowl record for scoring in a 50-30 victory over C-USA Western Division champion North Texas. Troy faced seven bowl teams in 2017 and posted a 6-1 mark in those games. Additionally, the Trojans played three conference or conference division champions – Boise State (Mountain West), Akron (MAC-East) and North Texas (C-USA West). Freshman Marcus Jones became just the second All-American in Troy’s FBS history after returning three kickoffs for touchdowns and ranking seventh nationally with 30.3 yards per return. Troy finished the season as the nation’s leader in red zone defense allowing opponents points on just 61.36 percent of their opportunities inside the 20-yard line. Additionally, Troy finished second nationally in kickoff returns and became just the sixth team in the last eight years to not allow a play from scrimmage of more than 50 yards the entire season. Record crowds have packed Veterans Memorial Stadium each of the last two seasons as The Vet has become one of the most hostile home-field advantages in the country. In 2017, Troy averaged a record 24,456 fans per game, which equaled 81.52 percent capacity, despite playing in a town of just 19,000 people. The capacity percentage ranked among the top 60 nationally and was fifth among Group of Five schools (min. 30,000 capacity). The 2017 attendance mark broke the record set in 2016 of 135,203 overall fans and 22,534 fans per game. In the classroom, the football program has improved its grade-point-average each semester under Brown’s leadership, Troy’s graduation rate has increased each year and Seth Calloway was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District Team during the 2017 season. Brown’s first three recruiting classes have paralleled Troy’s success on the field. His first class rated as the second best in the Sun Belt Conference by both 247Sports and Scout, while his second recruiting class was once again rated as the second best in the Sun Belt Conference by 247Sports, while Rivals ranked it as its top class by average signee rating. Troy’s third signing class under Brown was the highest-rated in school history not including a pair of 4-star transfers.

Brown’s second season at Troy saw the Trojans improve their win total by six games from four to 10, a number which was tied for the best turnaround in the country – only Troy and Colorado posted a six-win improvement and won at least 10 games in 2016. Additionally, Troy became the first Sun Belt Conference school to ever open a season with eight victories in its first nine games and coincidentally became the first school from the Sun Belt to appear in either major top 25 poll – Troy was ranked 25th on Nov. 13, 2016, by the Associated Press. Troy finished the 2016 season 10-3 overall with non-conference victories over Southern Miss and UMass following a narrow 6-point, 30-24, loss at eventual national champion Clemson. Troy defeated Ohio 28-23 in the Dollar General Bowl that was watched by over 2.5 million viewers on ESPN, the highest rated bowl game between two Group of Five programs. Behind All-Sun Belt left tackle Antonio Garcia, the Trojans led the country with just eight sacks allowed and 0.62 sacks allowed per game. Joining Garcia on the All-Sun Belt First Team were five other players in six different spots – Troy’s eight first team selections led the league. Garcia was selected with the 85th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots; he became the highest selected offensive lineman in Sun Belt Conference history. Playing under the mantra of “Rebuild the Wall”, Troy finished Brown’s first season as one of the most improved defensive teams in the country, while posting improved numbers across the board. The Trojans finished the 2015 season with the second-best turnaround nationally in opponent 3rd-down percentage (14.62 percent), the fourth-best turnaround in yards per play allowed (-1.13), the fifth-best improvement in tackles for loss per game (2.59) and 16th-best improvement in total defense (-62.7). Troy scored five defensive touchdowns, the third most in the country and most by a Troy team since 2004, and finished fifth in the country with 13 fumble recoveries. The Trojans forced 16 turnovers over the final six games of the season after forcing just three in the first six games. Offensively, Troy improved per-game averages in scoring (6.1) and passing yards (42.0), in passing touchdowns (9), total offensive touchdowns (5), penalty yards per game (-2.2), sacks allowed (-5), red zone scoring (8 percent), first quarter scoring (57) and third quarter scoring (34). The Trojans ranked 38th in the nation with just 18 sacks allowed after ranking 111th the previous season, while Brandon Burks became the school’s seventh player to rush for over 1,000 yards in a season. Brown’s Trojans began to click offensively as the season progressed as they averaged 36.0 points over the final six games of the season with three 40-point games. Troy scored 144 points over a three-game stretch against New Mexico State, Appalachian State and ULM -- the most in a three-game period by a Troy squad since 1993. Attendance also improved during Brown’s initial campaign with the Trojans as the per-game average increased by over 2,600 fans. Brown led the Trojans to a 4-8 overall record and a 3-5 Sun Belt Conference mark during his first season. However, four of Troy’s five Sun Belt setbacks were by a combined 22 points, while the Trojans’ three league victories came by an average of 35.3 points. Brown, 38, was named Troy’s 21st head coach on December 1, 2014, and was the second-youngest head coach in the FBS during his inaugural season. A native of Danville, Ky., Brown spent four seasons at Troy as an assistant coach (2006-09), including the final two as the Trojans’ offensive coordinator. Troy won four Sun Belt Conference titles and appeared in three bowl games during Brown’s initial tenure. At the time the youngest offensive coordinator in the FBS, Brown’s 2009 offense finished third in the nation in total offense at 485.7 yards per game, fourth in passing at 336.5 yards per game and 16th in scoring with 33.7 points per contest. In 2008, his first season as coordinator, Brown’s fast-paced offense set 10 school records.

Last fall, Troy football head coach Neal Brown announced the signing of the nation's top center to join the Trojans effectively immediately. Kevin Crawford, a 10-year old from Andalusia, Ala., made it official as he inked with the Trojans prior to Troy's victory over Georgia Southern. Crawford joins the Trojans as a member of Team IMPACT, a national nonprofit that connects children facing life-threatening or chronic illnesses with college athletic teams, forming life-long bonds and life-changing outcomes. Crawford was a highly sought after recruit, but he had his eyes on Troy from early on in the recruiting process and the decision was an easy one. "I picked Troy because it is one of the greatest teams ever," Crawford said at his introductory press conference in front of his new teammates and coaches. "Kevin is a once in a lifetime blue chipper, and we couldn't be more excited to have him join our program," Troy head coach Neal Brown said. "He is tough, physical and plays with an edge on every single snap. Kevin brings a special energy with him every day, and we just got a whole lot better as a football program." A fifth-grader, Kevin has been battling acute lymphoblastic T-cell leukemia since August 2016. Through Team IMPACT's program at Troy University, Kevin will become an official member of the Trojan football team. As a part of the program, Kevin will attend practices, games, dinners, events and more. Since 2011, Team IMPACT has matched more than 1,300 children with more than 500 colleges and universities in 47 states, reaching over 35,000 participating student-athletes. The child joins the athletic team and the student-athletes join the child's support team – from draft day to graduation. Throughout the journey, the child gains strength, camaraderie and support while the student-athletes experience lessons of courage and resiliency they can't learn in a classroom.

DefenSiVe improVemenT

• The Trojans turned in one of the most impressive defensive improvements in the country in Vic Koenning's first season as Troy's defensive coordinator (2015); the Trojans continued their improvement in 2016 and into 2017.

Tale of The TUrnoVer • Since Troy joined the Sun Belt in 2004, the Trojans have failed to force a turnover in a game just 30 times.

• In those games the Trojans are 7-24 -- three of those wins have come this season (Idaho, New Mexico State, Alabama State).

• For the first time in Troy's FBS history, the Trojans won back-to-back games without forcing a turnover when they defeated Alabama State (34-7) and New Mexico State (27-24) in 2017.

• Prior to last season, the last time Troy went consecutive games without forcing a turnover came in 2015 - Mississippi State (L, 17-45) and Idaho (L, 16-19).

fiVe-year improVemenT

• Troy was one of just two teams in the country to post an improvement each of the last five seasons in yards allowed.

The freak

• There is really no other way to explain it other than that kid is freaky good.

• Marcus Jones returned his third kickoff of the season for a touchdown, this time 99 yards, to put Troy on the board in its defacto Sun Belt title game at Arkansas State -- oh yeah, he also returned an interception 100 yards for a touchdown in the game.

• Jones finished the 2017 season seventh averaging 30.3 yards per return, first among those with at least 29 returns and second with 25 or more. He was the top freshman kick returner in the country.

• Jones' three kickoff returns for a touchdown set the Troy single-season record and already ties him for the career mark.

• Jones was named the Sun Belt Conference Freshman of the Year and All-Sun Belt Second Team as a return specialist and all-purpose player. Jones has two interceptions (his other came at LSU) and is fifth on the team in tackles.

Troy SoliD all-aroUnD of kor• Troy finished 2017 second nationally as a kickoff return unit averaging 27.71 yards per return last season. Only Wyoming (28.30) ranked better.

pUnT reTUrn on loCk DoWn

• After allowing a punt return for a touchdown in the opener at Boise State, Troy's punt coverage defense went on lock down.

• Over the past 12 games, Troy allowed just 12 punt returns for 36 yards, 3.0 yards per return ... the longest return was 12 yards (at Arkansas State) and prior to that just five yards.

BOISE STATE REVIEW | GAME THREE

BOISE STATE 14 21 7 14 56TROY 7 0 7 6 20

Sept. 1 • troy, AlA. • VeterAnS MeMoriAl StAdiuM • 29,612

TROY, Ala. –No. 22 Boise State stormed out to an early lead and knocked off Troy, 56-20, in front of a record crowd at Veterans Memorial Stadium Saturday. The Broncos (1-0) got off to a hot start in the first half, jumping out to a 35-7 lead over the Trojans (0-1) before the break on the arm of senior slinger Brett Rypien – who threw for 305 yards and four touchdowns. Rypien connected with Sean Modster seven times for 167 yards and two scores – 161 of those coming in the first half. Almost half – 21 – of Boise State's points came off four Troy turnovers with two fumble returns for touchdowns by cornerback Tyler Horton – both of which came in the second half. Troy was able to amass nearly 400 yards in quarterback Kaleb Barker's first career start, including 211 passing yards from the junior. Barker's favorite target was Deondre Douglas who recorded his fourth career 100-yard game with 102 receiving yards on seven catches in the game. After Boise opened the scoring with the first of the Rypien-Modster touchdowns, Troy responded with a 23-yard rushing touchdown from Jabir Daughtry-Frye – his first rushing score since his 61-yard, fourth-down touchdown at Clemson in 2016. The 22nd-ranked Broncos then scored 35 unanswered to effectively silence the 29,612 in attendance at The Vet – the highest-attended game in school history.

Quotable–TroyheadcoachNealBrown"We got beat by a better football team. I think we lost the game late in the first quarter. I like how our guys responded in the second half. I feel like that was probably the best team we have played since Clemson in 2016. Boise is a quality team, they were ready to play, and their quarterback was lights out. We are going to be fine and I know we are because of how we responded in the second half. We have a starting point and we have to get better, but I do think we will be fine. We are going to find out if this 'We Fight' thing is something we put on t-shirts or if it is for real. We got exposed in the secondary and offensive line and I think that was because of communication, so we have to get those corrected and we will be ready to go."

TROY, Ala. – Troy rushed for nearly 300 yards and forced four turnovers on its way to a 59-7 thumping of Florida A&M at Veterans Memorial Stadium. Troy (1-1) combined its strong offensive performance with a ball-hawking defense and stellar special teams play to rout the Rattlers (1-1) in the two teams' first meeting since 2002. The Trojans compiled 477 total yards, picked off two passes, recovered two fumbles and blocked a punt in the game. Kaleb Barker threw four touchdown passes and rushed for another, just one shy of the school record for most touchdowns responsible for in a single game. The junior opened the scoring with a 2-yard rushing touchdown then followed with back-to-back touchdown tosses to Damion Willis to put the Trojans up 21-0 in the opening quarter. Barker connected with Deondre Douglas for another score in the second, then hit Sidney Davis on a 19-yard screen pass for his fourth and final passing touchdown of the game. Jabir Daughtry-Frye and B.J. Smith teamed up to lead the Troy rushing attack – both running for 71 yards. Freshman D.K. Billingsley ran for 64 yards on 10 carries in his first collegiate appearance. The Trojan defense was led by Tron Folsom, who picked off two passes and took one 53 yards to the house – just his second and third career interceptions. As a team, Troy recorded 14 tackles for loss in the game which is the most since New Mexico State in 2015. Freshman Antonio Showers paced the attack with a pair of sacks, while fellow freshman Carlton Martial added a pair of tackles for loss. Troy hits the road for the first time next week when the Trojans travel to Lincoln, Neb., to take on Nebraska. Kickoff is scheduled for 11 a.m. and the game will be televised live on the Big Ten Network. Quotable–TroyheadcoachNealBrown"Always good to win and get win number one right here at home on a great night for college football. In these types of games that is always a huge positive; so many of our players work in fall camp and spring ball to get the opportunity and to get some quality reps for almost everybody that we wanted to, and it's going to pay off down the road."

• Troy finished the game with 59 points marking the eighth time in the Neal Brown era that the Trojans have scored 50 or more points; the Trojans had so just once in the previous 66 games and just three times at the FBS level prior to Brown’s arrival.

• Official attendance was announced as 25,767 which is the ninth largest in Veterans Memorial Stadium history.

• Kaleb Barker finished the game with five total touchdowns -- four passing and one rushing -- to finish one shy of the Troy single-game record for touchdowns responsible.

• Troy rushed for 292 yards in the game marking the sixth time in the Neal Brown era that the Trojans topped the 200-yard mark; the Trojans are 17-0 in games under Brown when rushing for more than 150 yards. The 292 rushing yards marked the second most in the Brown era, only Troy’s 383 rushing yards against Austin Peay in the 2016 opener are more.

• Troy recorded 14 tackles for loss in the game which is the most since the Trojans also had 14 against New Mexico State in 2015. Antonio Showers (two sacks) and Carlton Martial led the way with two, while Tron Folsom, Justin Whisenhunt and Kevin Nixon each had 1.5.
