After all, it has been awhile since either saw action in a game.
For Chunn, his absence dates back to last September when he broke his collarbone in the Trojans’ second game against Charleston Southern – which, like Austin Peay, is an FCS school. For Melton, the dearth of playing time dates back two years, a redshirt season at Auburn and a year on the bench at Troy as he cleared the NCAA’s mandatory one-year ineligibility period following his transfer.
Both Melton and Chunn admit they will be emotional in Troy’s first game of the 2016 season, but the primary emotions may be a bit different.
