Quotable – Head Coach Neal Brown
"I think we've had a really good 13 days so far and we have gotten better. There has been a lot of competition and that's what you want you want to see. We had a good amount of energy out here today. We had passion but a little too much emotion, letting it get the better of us and making some poor decisions. You have to play the game with passion, but there is a fine line between being passionate and emotional, and we don't want to be emotional.
Â
"I want T-Day to be a great atmosphere and I want it to be a fun time, not only for our players, but also our fans. I'd like to see a lot of families and young children come out. We're going to do some things to get the crowd and our students involved – it's going be more of an event than a practice, but we're going to get some good work in."

It was your prototypical spring practice for the Trojans with a solid mixture of circuit work, individual drills, special teams and live team plays. Head coach Neal Brown ended practice with a simulated overtime session that was won by the defense after the offense claimed the opening competition of the day.First team All-@SunBelt Emanuel Thompson vs. Troy's pick leader Blace Brown pic.twitter.com/h2kAsNtJiZ
