A team that
seen two losing seasons and was expected to bounce back last season, is looking
to do this year as they look to have improved this spring. Troy is looking to
reclaim their identity as champions when they take to the field this fall. The Trojans ran through approximately 80 plays
with the defense and offense splitting into two teams to showcase what they
have to offer and been working on during this offseason.

Four quarterbacks
threw for touchdowns and the defense saw multiple highlight plays as the white
squad defeated the cardinal, 22-14, on Saturday in Troy.
“We got a
little over 80 snaps which was our goal,” head coach Larry Blakeney said.
Coach also said that he is expected to bring in more talent when other players
who signed with the Trojans come in June and add to the team.
Senior
quarterback Corey Robinson finished the day 11-of-15 passing for 130
yards and a touchdown, while senior Deon Anthony finished 7-of-10 for
124 yards and a score, to go along with 29 yards rushing on five carries. Dallas
Tidwell went 7-of-7 for 112 yards and a touchdown.
Senior Eric
Thomas led the group of receivers on the day with 81 yards on six catches,
while K.D. Edenfield finished with 48 yards on five receptions and a
touchdown. Chandler Worthy hauled in three receptions for 90 yards
and a score, while Bryan Holmes finished with just one catch, a
69-yard touchdown grab.
The Trojans
may not have gotten all they wanted in the spring, but there is still time and
a chance to get more improved this summer and fall. I believe that the Trojans have the weapons;
they just have to put them in place.
