TROY, Ala. – In front of hundreds of former letterwinners spanning seven decades of Troy Football, head coach Jon Sumrall led his Trojans through their first scrimmage of the spring Saturday morning in The Vet. Troy spent the first hour on the cool spring morning in a typical practice setting before scrimmaging for around 50 plays in the second half.
Troy's defense, which returns eight starters from last year, showed no signs of rust coming off last season's performance in which it ranked among the nation's leaders in sacks, tackles for loss, turnovers, interceptions and total defense.
