TROY, Alabama – Troy completed its first full scrimmage of the spring on Friday in front of several hundred students and fans at Veterans Memorial Stadium as the program also held Student Appreciation Day.
Between sessions, students took part in on-field competitions including a 40-yard dash, punt catching and passing contest. The crowd was also welcomed onto the field to watch the final few plays from the 50-yard line.
Troy's second scrimmage will take place on April 8 in conjunction with Alumni Weekend before the Trojans wrap up spring practice with T-Day at noon on April 15.
Quotable – Head Coach Neal Brown
"It was a fun afternoon, fun for our students and fun for our players," Troy head coach Neal Brown said. "There were a lot of good moments (in the scrimmage). We got better, but we're still not physical enough. We've got to get more physical before we get to where we want to be."
Last season, the Trojans defeated Ohio, 28-23, in the Dollar General Bowl to finish 10-3 marking the first time in the school's FBS history that the program reached the 10-win plateau. Troy finished with a six-win improvement from 2015, which was tied for the best turnaround in the country.
Troy opens the 2017 season with a highly-anticipated matchup at Boise State on Sept. 2 before opening its six-game home slate the following week against Alabama State.
