Alabama Newscenter 2018 Football Preview: Troy University

By Solomon Crenshaw Jr.

The past two years have been very good for Troy football.

The Trojans pushed eventual national champion Clemson before falling to the Tigers in 2016 and then upset LSU in 2017. Each year, coach Neal Brown’s squad won at least 10 games and closed out the season with a bowl victory.

“I think we’re excited about where we’ve gone,” said Brown, whose squad was 10-3 in 2016 and 11-2 last year. “We’re 21 wins in two years. Twenty-one wins is eighth most in that time.“Have we arrived? I don’t think so,” the coach said. “We’ve only won one conference championship. I don’t know if we’ve arrived until we get to the upper tier of the Group of Five. This first game (against Boise State) affords us that opportunity. We couldn’t get it done last year against Boise at their place. They come here this year on Sept. 1st. We’re not finished. I still think that we’ve got several milestones to reach.”
