The cornerback had to make up half a step as the ball was thrown. The defender lunged, his arm hitting the ball and knocking it away, saving six points.
The development of cornerback Orlando Lacey continues. Lacey, remember, was a first-team all-state performer at Class 3A Opp High School as a quarterback in 2016. When he arrived at Troy he moved to the secondary.
He was redshirted in 2017 and was primarily a special teams player and a reserve defensive back for the Trojans last year. He played in nine games and had one tackle against Louisiana.
