🔼  We Talkin’ Bout Practice. The pads are on and camp is ramping into high gear, folks.

Trojan football is just weeks away!

Fall camp will be split into three four-practice sessions, with the bulk of the practices taking place in the morning.

🔼 A Grand Welcome. It didn’t take long for former Troy standout Brandon Lockridge to make a grand welcome with his new Milwaukee Brewer teammates.

Lockridge, who was traded at the MLB deadline last week from San Diego, helped the Brewers sweep the Washington Nationals, racking up four hits, three runs scored and four RBIs in the three games over the weekend.

Milwaukee now holds the best record in baseball heading into the final two months of the regular season.

Just 2️⃣6️⃣ Days To Kickoff, Trojan Fans!

It all started with a dominant 2️⃣6️⃣-7 home victory over Nicholls State.

That’s how the 1984 National Championship began on Sept. 8, with the defense limiting Nicholls State to under 80 yards on the ground in that contest.

The Trojans would drop just one game the rest of the way before pulling out a dramatic 18-17 win over North Dakota State in the National Championship game that season.

Countdown to Kickoff is brought to you by Conecuh Sausage. Conecuh Sausage is made in Alabama, it’s great on the grill and a fan favorite for tailgating. Conecuh Sausage, the Official Sausage of Troy Athletics.
