TROY, Ala. – Intensity was the name of the game Tuesday as Troy strapped on full pads for the first time of fall camp. The Trojans spent two hours on the grass practice fields behind Trojan Arena in a big step forward towards their season opener against No. 22 Boise State on Sept. 1 in The Vet.

The Trojans powered through 21 periods in the morning heat with the bulk of the work spent in offense versus defense situations. Tuesday's main install featured third down, which Troy's defense led the country in last season, overtime and two-point conversions.
