TROY – After a somewhat sloppy first half of football on the offensive side, things picked up considerably in the second half of the T-Day scrimmage Saturday in Veterans Memorial
“Guys competed at a high level,” Troy coach Jon Sumrall said. “We were moving a lot of guys around with different teams and different groups, so not always maybe the continuity that you will have in a real game where you’re preparing.
The most excitement of the first half actually occurred when it was announced via a message shown on the video board that sophomore walk-on linebacker Terry Thomas was being awarded a scholarship. Players from both the offense and defense surrounded Thomas and celebrated the moment before the units resumed play to begin the third quarter.
“So it did give me a little bit of an impression that someone that was a walk-on might be getting a scholarship,” Thomas said. “It’s a joy to get something and it’s always better to get it in front of your guys; get it in front of the people you work with, get it in front of people you know. To see them being excited for you, it kind of brings it all to fruition.”
“We had a little RPO on and I saw the safety come down,” Crowder said of the TD pass. “I knew Landon would make me right; he’s been doing it all spring. I knew once we got down there in the red area, I was going to give him a shot at some point.”
