NEW ORLEANS – Troy football, conference championships and bowl games used to be synonymous, but the Trojans have not had a postseason outing since 2010. Troy head football coach Neal Brown believes that could change this year, he said Monday at Sun Belt Media Day in New Orleans. “We may be a year away from where we were in 2009 or in 2008. I think we’re ready to take the next step to get to bowl eligibility if you look at the returning starters,” he said. “We return some talented players. In our league, it starts with the quarterback. We’re one of the few to return a proven starting quarterback, so that gives us a bump.” Indeed while the Trojans must replace their leading receiver from last year in Teddy Ruben, a few pieces on the offensive line and 1,000-yard rusher Brandon Burks, Brown said the offense’s performance will depend on how well quarterback Brandon Silvers performs. www.dothaneagle.com/sports/troy/troy-coach-believes-trojans-can-reach-bowl-eligibility-in/article_f929b0c0-5290-11e6-9737-7f2b47240db7.html?mode=jqm

Looking forward to seeing an improved product on the field this year and really excited to see what lies ahead for our Trojans!
Go TROY!
