TROY – In a different twist this spring, the Troy offense has been winning its share of battles against a defensive unit that so often dominated play a year ago.
Sophomore linebacker Terry Thomas credits the offense for making strides under veteran quarterback Gunnar Watson, but also believes the defense is coming along just fine as well in replacing some key figures that were lost to graduation – such as linebackers Carlton Martial and K.J. Robertson.
People are also reading… Thomas is among the linebackers trying to fill the void left by the losses of Martial and Robertson. A year ago he saw action in 13 games and made 24 tackles. “We’ve got some guys who don’t have a ton of experience, got a new coordinator … so you put all of those things in and you get a little bit of a mixed result compared to a group of six-year seniors.”
“We had some explosive plays offensively that I liked,” Sumrall said. “I thought we made some throws and catches down the field that were contested catches that maybe at times we didn’t always make last year. “I think you can tell that Goose has operated at a college level maybe longer than some of those guys, but Tucker is continuing to do some good things. It’s just making sure he is consistent and stays calm, but he’s got talent – you see it.
