From wkuherald.com Troy has employed a two-quarterback passing attack through the first half of the 2013 season, but the Toppers should be ready to face the unique Trojan system when they take the field on Saturday. Troy has a one of the top pocket passers in the Sun Belt Conference in senior quarterback Corey Robinson. The Paducah native has thrown for 1,889 yards and 15 touchdowns this season — both marks lead the Sun Belt. unior quarterback Deon Anthony, meanwhile, is expected to see time under center as well. Anthony has thrown for 313 yards and three touchdowns this year — far less than Robinson — but has picked up another 345 yards and two scores on the ground. He averages 5.7 yards per carry. “Obviously one chucks it really well and the other one runs it really well,” defensive coordinator Nick Holt said to sum it up after Wednesday’s practice. “We’re preparing for both.” The dual-quarterback system has worked well for the Trojans lately. In their most recent game, a 35-28 win over Georgia State on Oct. 12, Robinson threw for 350 yards and three touchdowns along with a pair of interceptions while Anthony completed 4-of-6 passes for 35 yards and picked up another 58 on the ground. Saturday won’t be the first time WKU has faced teams that use several quarterbacks, though — Kentucky used pocket-passer Maxwell Smith and runner Jalen Whitlow in the season-opener, and the Toppers faced two quarterbacks in games against Navy, Morgan State, and South Alabama as well. WKU is 3-1 in those games, with the sole loss coming to the Jaguars in September ( Full Article).
