TROY – Troy fullback Zacc Weldon’s impact with Troy’s offense had been limited to blocking – and he never minded that crucial role.

The junior from G.W. Long High in Skipperville made his 31 st consecutive start Thursday night but had never been credited with a rushing attempt or a pass reception.

That changed in the second quarter. Weldon took a 3-yard reception in right flat down to the 1-yard line.
