MOBILE – Troy junior linebacker and Mobile native Carlton Martial had a happy homecoming, recording a game-high 14 tackles in helping the Trojans whip rival South Alabama 29-0 on Saturday at Hancock Whitney Stadium.
It was the 12th time Martial has finished in double digits for tackles in his career and his fourth time this season.
Martial, a former star at Mobile’s McGill-Toolen High School, was all smiles after the big victory.
“It feels real good,” Martial said. “We tried to get that sour taste out of our mouth from these past two weeks when we really didn’t play up to our standards.
