Football Goes Under the Lights Friday for Second Scrimmage

TROY, Alabama – With Troy's T-Day spring game looming next weekend, the Trojans will go under the lights in Veterans Memorial Stadium on Friday at 7 p.m. for their second scrimmage of spring camp. It will be Student Appreciation Night as one Troy student will have an opportunity to win a book scholarship and a DJ will be on hand to provide additional entertainment.

"It is a chance for our guys to perform under the lights," head coach Neal Brown said. "It is a chance for some of these unproven guys – whether it is transfers, true freshmen quarterbacks or guys who redshirted last year – to see how they react when there are people in the stands and when we turn the lights on for the first time."

Troy's first scrimmage of spring camp took place last Saturday as the Trojans spent half the day in a practice format before scrimmaging for the final half of the session. Friday's scrimmage will be more traditional in a sense as the Trojans will take the field and run approximately 80-100 plays.

"We are going to work some situations throughout the scrimmage," Brown said. "We are going to incorporate some two-minute situations, some short-yardage situations and some goal line situations."

The Trojans are scheduled to practice again on Sunday and Thursday before T-Day on Saturday, April 23. Kickoff for the annual Troy spring game is set for 12:30 p.m. and admission is free.
