🎉 TRIVIA ANSWER

Answer: Shawn Southward and Chip Reeves!

Damien Taylor and Devonte Ross are the first duo to top the 1,000-yard rushing and receiving mark in the same season since Shawn Southward (1,012 rushing) and Chip Reeves (1,050 receiving) did so in 2012. It is just the third time in program history that Troy has had a 1,000-yard rusher and receiver in the same season.

⚔️ Have a great Monday!
