By Ryan McCollough Joey Denison can’t help but smile when recalling that windy night in south Texas 30 years ago. Denison, offensive and defensive line coach for the Pike County Bulldogs, was an offensive lineman for the Trojans during the run to the NCAA Division II Football National Championship in 1984. Denison’s main role on the title team was blocking on extra points and field goals, but due to a freak injury in the semi-final round of the playoffs, Denison wasn’t on the field for Ted Clem’s famous 50-yard field goal to win the championship. He wasn’t on the field, but Denison does remember what went through his mind as Clem’s kick sailed throw the uprights. “The first thought that crossed my mind was ‘Oh, my God. We just won the national title’,” Denison said with a laugh. “We were all a little stunned, but then went crazy. It was the end of a great season.” ( Full Article) iconTroy3
