Defense dominates again during Troy's T-Day game

Troy wide receiver Blace Brown (83) tries to stop linebacker Demetrius Cain's interception return during Saturday's T-Day scrimmage in Troy.

It took seven drives for either offense to achieve a first down. The first touchdown – the only one of the first half – came on redshirt freshman cornerback Jawon McDowell’s interception return for a touchdown. Two of the three offensive touchdowns came in situational work when the offenses got the ball on the opponent’s side of the 50.

And with the Black squad going for two to try to win the scrimmage with no time left, safety Dondrell Harris recorded a sack of quarterback Johnathan Ortner to preserve the win.
