Nick Rolovich, Hawai i 38 ( ) Ages as of Sept. 1, 2017 Considered one of the top young minds in college football, Neal Brown has taken Troy football through a renaissance over the past two years. In two short seasons, Brown has led the Trojans to a 10-win season, 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 fifth-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. 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 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 nonconference victories over Southern Miss and UMass following a narrow 6-point, 30-24, loss at eventual national champion Clemson. Troy defeated Ohio 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. The television viewers were not the only group that took notice of Troy s success, as Veterans Memorial Stadium drew a record 135,203 fans for Troy s six home games, while the 22,534 per-game average was also a record. 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. Brown s first two 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. 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 secondbest 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 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 threegame period by a Troy squad since 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. Troy s improvement carried into the classroom as the cumulative grade point average for the team rose each semester compared to the prior year. Brown, 37, 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 ( ), 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 yards per game, fourth in passing at yards per game and 16th in scoring with 33.7 points per contest. In 2008, his first season as coordinator, Brown s fast-paced offense set 10 school records. In addition to the team accomplishments, Brown guided quarterback Levi Brown to the Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year award in 2009 and SBC Newcomer of the Year in Prior to returning to Troy, Brown spent the previous two seasons as the offensive coordinator under Mark Stoops at Kentucky and led the Wildcats to some new heights on the offensive side of the football. The Wildcats posted over 440 yards of total offense in three Southeastern Conference games in 2014, its highest total since Brown left Troy to join Tommy Tuberville s staff at Texas Tech in 2010 and picked up right where he left off at Troy. With Brown serving as Texas Tech s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, the Red Raiders ranked in the nation s top-seven teams in passing offense, top-15 in total offense and top-25 in scoring offense, having increased production in all three categories each year since Prior to his first stint at Troy, Brown served one season as wide receivers coach at the University of Delaware. In 2003, he was the tight ends coach and offensive line assistant at Massachusetts, helping the Minutemen win a share of the Atlantic-10 championship and a berth in the FCS playoffs. Brown earned his bachelor s degree in business management and his master s in business administration from Massachusetts, where he played the seasons. He totaled 58 receptions for 721 yards and four touchdowns while being named to the Atlantic-10 All-Academic Team and the NCAA Division I-AA Athletic Directors Academic All-Star Team. Born in Louisville, Brown grew up in Bardstown, Ky., before moving to Danville, Ky., where he was an all-state wide receiver at Boyle County High School, finishing his career as the No. 2 pass catcher in state history. He played at Kentucky from and was a two-year letterman, catching 10 passes, including one touchdown.

Run to the Roar Run to the Roar is a book by Paul Assaiante and James Zug. Neal Brown and the coaching staff adopted the principal of Run to the Roar this offseason in dealing with the expectations after a 10-win season. The premise is when you face expectations, you run to the roar. When a trial or challenge presents itself, we begin to hear the roar and want to run the other way. Troy wants to run to the roar and meet those challenges and expectations head on. Packing The Vet For the second straight season, Troy has set attendance records at The Vet. Troy's overall 146,736 fans and pergame 24,456 fans are single-season records. The 2016 totals were 22,534 for the single-game average and 135,203 for total attendance.

Troy Signs 10-Year Old Leukemia Patient 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 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 studentathletes. 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.

In 2016, Troy ranked 15th in rushing TDs allowed (13), 13th in yards per carry (3.38) and 17th in rushing yards per game (120.2). Troy is holding opponents to just 1.64 yards per carry on second down and 1.79 on fourth down. Fewest Rushing TDs Allowed (2017) 1. Wisconsin 4 2. Clemson 5 3. Troy 5 Georgia, Va.

Help Wanted; Troy LBs Inexperienced Troy entered the 2017 season having lost its top four linebackers -- William Lloyd, Justin Lucas, Terris Lewis, Demetrius Cain -- from the 2016 season. The only Trojan with starting experience was senior Sam Lebbie, who started the final four games of the 2014 season his redshirt-freshman year. FBS Fewest Linebacker Starts Entering 2017 Season 1. Ball State 0 Old Dominion 0 Kansas State 0 UNLV 0 5. Troy 4 Two-Minute Offense Gets Shutdown Troy's defense has not allowed an opponent to score in a two-minute situation this season. Troy opponents have attempted 10 drives that began with two minutes or fewer in the 2Q or 4Q and have not scored on any. Trading Places Three of Troy s four cornerbacks on the two-deep heading into the season were not cornerbacks when they began their collegiate careers. Seniors Jalen Harris and junior Blace Brown are both converted wide receives, while Kamryn Melton played safety at Auburn. Harris converted in the spring of 2015 and started all 12 games in 2015 and six games in 2016 before an injury shortened his season; he is in a battle with Melton for one of the starting spots. Melton switched to corner when he transferred to Troy and started 12 games in Brown made the switch during the summer of 2016 and is listed as a starter at one of Troy's two cornerback positions. Brown ranked seventh last season nationally with six interceptions. What Can Brown Do for You? Blace Brown intercepted six passes during his sophomore campaign in 2016 to rank seventh nationally. Brown picked off Boise's Brett Rypien and returned it 53 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter. Brown sealed Troy's victory at No. 22 LSU with his eighth career interception with five seconds remaining in the game. For the third time in his career, Brown intercepted multiple passes in a game with two at Coastal Carolina this season. Brown leads all active players in the country with 0.38 interceptions per game over his career (10 in 26 games)... the number is even better when you only include games where he played defense, Brown played wide receiver for three games as a freshman. His 10 career interceptions are tied for the 13th most among active players nationally and are tied for the most among non-seniors. Brown's brother, Brittain Brown, is a redshirt freshman running back at Duke -- he has rushed for 55.0 yards per game and six touchdowns for the Blue Devils.

Troy was limited due to injuries to MLB Sam Lebbie and Bandit Zoe Bridges and facing an offense that was averaging 524 yards of total offense and passing yards. Koenning slid WLB Tron Folsom to start at middle linebacker and safety Kris Weatherspoon earned the start at WLB. Additionally, cornerback Kamryn Melton also played linebacker as he backed up Weatherspoon in addition to playing cornerback in the game. Troy held New Mexico State to 382 yards of total offense and 331 passing yards in a victory. LSU Goes 0-Fer Troy held LSU to 0-for-9 on third downs in the Trojans' victory over the Tigers. It marked the first time since 2007 that Troy held an opponent without a third-down conversion (Arkansas State, 0-for-13). Troy has held four opponents without a third-down conversion since moving to the FBS ranks. Trojans Strong Against Top QBs In back-to-back weeks last season, Troy faced Heisman Trophy candidate Deshaun Waston (Clemson) and 2015 C-USA Player of the Year Nick Mullens (S. Miss)... The Trojans more than held their own against two of the top quarterbacks in the country. The pair combined to complete just 51-of-105 pass attempts (48.6 percent) with four interceptions by the Troy defense. The pair combined to complete 67.4 percent of their passes with 65 touchdowns and 28 interceptions last season. Troy continued that trend against two-time First Team Mountain West selection Brett Rypien of Boise State... the Trojans held Rypien to just 13-of-23 attempts and Blace Brown returned an interception 53 yards for a touchdown. Five-Year Improvement Troy is one of just two teams in the country to post an improvement each of the last five seasons in yards allowed.

The Trojans have allowed opponents to score just eight times on 46 drives following a Troy score... the 17.2 percent rate is considerably lower than the 31.5 national average. Trojans on Watch Lists Troy players littered preseason watch lists throughout the summer. All told, seven players were named to a total of 11 watch lists... both led the Sun Belt Conference. On defense - Seth Calloway (Wuerffel); Blace Brown (Bronko Nagurski) 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 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 Prior to this season, the last time Troy went consecutive games without forcing a turnover came in Mississippi State (L, 17-45) and Idaho (L, 16-19). 1.

26 GAME TWELVE NOTES SPECIAL TEAMS NOTES Marcus Jones Sets NCAA Record True freshman Marcus Jones tied an NCAA FBS record when he returned two kickoffs for touchdowns at Coastal Carolina. He became the 24th player in FBS history, the first in Troy history and the fourth in Sun Belt history to return a pair of kickoffs for scores in a game. He returned the opening kickoff of the game (the first time in Troy's FBS history) for a score and then returned Troy's second kickoff opportunity of the game for a touchdown. Averaged 64.7 yards on his three kickoff returns in the game, also a Troy record. Who Has a Roster?? Troy was one of just six schools in the country without a kicker or punter on the roster that had attempted a field or a punt in their collegiate career entering the season. Redshirt-freshman Tyler Sumpter assumed Troy's punting duties, while junior Bratcher Underwood took the kicking duties. However, Evan Legassey was named the starting place kicker heading into Troy's fifth game of the season. Underwood was Troy's primary kickoff specialist last season and attempted two extra points (made one), but did not attempt a field goal. No Players on Roster with FG or Punt Attempt Troy Virginia Hawai'i Georgia Tech Arizona State UAB The Boot Heard Around The Boot True freshman Evan Legassey took over the starting place kicking job heading into No. 22 LSU. After missing his first attempt, Legassey's second attempt of the game was replayed across the country all weekend. At the end of the first half, the officials allowed the clock to expire and the teams headed to the locker room. However, after a review teams returned to the field with two seconds remaining. Legassey's 37-yard attempt hit the crossbar and bounced over for his first career field goal. Troy went on to win the game, Sumpter Takes Over Place Kicking Duties After Troy struggled through the first six games of the season at the place kicker position - 4-of-10 on field goals and 12-of-14 on extra points, redshirt freshman punter Tyler Sumpter was given his shot. Sumpter was good on all six of his kicks at Georgia State with a pair of field goals and four extra points. He followed that with a field goal and five extra points against Georgia Southern. Sumpter is 6-for-7 on field goals this season and 25-of- 25 on extra points.

47 GAME TWELVE BOISE STATE RECAP GAME 1 TROY BOISE STATE Sept. 2 Albertsons Stadium Boise, Idaho 31,581 Troy Falls in Season Opener at Boise State BOISE, Idaho Boise State took advantage of costly Troy miscues to defeat the Trojans, 24-13, in the season opener for both teams Saturday afternoon at Albertsons Stadium. Troy committed three turnovers, eight penalties and allowed the Broncos to average 41.8 yards on kickoff returns and 24.8 yards on punt returns in the first-ever meeting between the two schools. Boise State (1-0) got on the board just 94 seconds into the game on an 81-yard punt return for a touchdown by Avery Williams. The Trojans (0-1) followed with one of their best offensive series of the game. A 26-yard reception by Damion Willis and a 26-yard run by Jamarius Henderson set up Troy inside the red zone. The Trojans were not able to move any closer and Bratcher Underwood booted a 38-yard field goal to put the Trojans on the board. Troy s defense came up with big stops on Boise s next two offensive series a fourth-down stand on its own 24-yard line by Sam Lebbie and a sack by Antione Barker that forced a fumble. The Broncos, who improved to at home since 2000, finally cracked the Troy defense as Alex Mattison broke through the middle for a 49-yard score to put Boise up 14-3 with 7:51 to play in the opening half.

Gaston, Bandit Zo Bridges, LB Tron Folsom, S Melvin Tyus all made their first career starts for the Trojans. Blace Brown intercepted his seventh career pass and returned it 53 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter. It was Troy s first defensive touchdown since Demetrius Cain returned a fumble 17 yards for a touchdown at UL Lafayette in It was Troy s first interception return for a touchdown since LaMarcus Farmer s 55-yard return against ULM in In his first career start, Melvin Tyus led the Trojans with seven tackles, while true freshman cornerback Marcus Jones finished with five tackles. Troy finished the game with 12 tackles for loss which is tied for the 10th most in the school s FBS history. Sam Lebbie led the Trojans with two, while freshman linebacker Justin Whisenhunt had 1.5. Redshirt freshman punter Tyler Sumpter finished with four punts of more than 50 yards and averaged 49.6 yards on his seven punts in the game. Jordan Chunn moved into eighth place on the Troy career rushing list with 2,387 yards after he rushed for 41 yards against Boise State. Neal Brown has never been shutout as a head coach or as an offensive coordinator -- a span of 114 games. Blace Brown brought life back into the Troy sideline with a 53-yard interception return for a touchdown with 2:30 to play in the opening half. Brown led the Trojans and ranked seventh nationally last season with six picks. However, Williams returned the ensuing kickoff 48 yards and six plays later Haden Hoggarth booted a 41-yard field goal to give the Broncos a advantage at the half. Troy had its chances in the second half thanks again to the defense which limited Boise State to just 134 yards in the final 30 minutes of the game. The Trojans sacked Boise s two quarterbacks a combined four times and recorded 12 tackles for loss the 10th most in Troy s FBS history in the game. The Trojans had a golden opportunity to tie the game in the third quarter after dialing up a 16-play drive that took more than five minutes off the clock. With Troy facing third-and-8 from the Boise 19- yard line, Silvers threw a ball that was tipped into the air and pulled down by Deondre Douglas.

53 GAME TWELVE GEORGIA STATE RECAP GAME 7 TROY GEORGIA STATE Oct. 21 Georgia State Stadium Atlanta, Ga. 15,388 Troy Cruises Past Georgia State ATLANTA Brandon Silvers threw for 335 yards and Troy s defense turned in another dominant performance as the Trojans spoiled Georgia State s Homecoming with a victory in Sun Belt action at Georgia State Stadium. Troy controlled the game from nearly start to finish to improve to 5-2 overall and 2-1 in league play. John Johnson gave the Trojans for good just over five minutes into the game as he showed some fancy footwork to cap a 49-yard reception from Silvers in what was the beginning of 34-unanswered points. Silvers completed 25-of-35 passes and threw a pair of touchdowns with his lone miscue coming on an interception after his intended target slipped on the new turf at the old Turner Field. The senior signal caller doubled his touchdown total for the season as he connected with nine different teammates in the game. Georgia State (3-3, 2-1) converted the interception into three points after taking over on the Troy 39-yard line. Those were the only points the Panthers would muster against the stingy Troy defense until 56 seconds remaining in the game. GSU ended the game with a 20-play, 82- yard drive after Troy emptied the bench; the Trojans had held the Panthers to just 225 yards heading into that drive.
