TROY, Ala. – Saturday's 32-26 win over Western Kentucky was not only the fifth for the team this season, it was the 500th all-time victory for the Troy football program. Troy began playing football in 1909 under coach Vergil Parks McKinley. Since that time, the program has won three national titles, 20 conference championships and had 33 players drafted by the National Football League."There have been a lot of people and players that had a lot to do with that," said Troy head coach Larry Blakeney, who has coached the team to 174 wins over 23 seasons. "I'm glad that we were around to take care of the benchmark, hopefully we can win some more and get back to a bowl game." The first win in Troy history came over Edger School in 1909; the team has since played 175 different opponents in 92 seasons of football. ( Full Article) iconTroy3
