TROY – It was a rough start for the Troy kicking game, but things really picked up for the unit in the second quarter of Troy’s 37-17 win over Texas State on Saturday.
Evan Legassey missed a 42-yard field goal wide left on the Trojans’ second possession of the game and had an extra point attempt blocked following the first touchdown in the opening quarter. It snapped a streak of 138 consecutive extra point attempts made by the Trojans.
But things got better for the Trojans in the second quarter.
After Troy took a 20-3 lead with 7:22 left in the half, former Northview standout Jack Martin had a successful onside kick as he booted it right for 13 yards and Kimani Vidal pounced on the ball at the Trojans’ 48.
