TROY, Alabama – For the first time since last fall, Troy practiced on consecutive days as the Trojans continued their preparations for the 2019 season on day two of fall camp. Due to NCAA rules, Troy was once again relegated to helmets and shorts during its two-hour workout on the practice fields behind Trojan Arena.
Â
"I thought our defense had a lot of energy today and flew around pretty good," head coach Chip Lindsey said. "Offense, we had some spurts just not consistent enough. Coming off spring ball where we went every other day, you get in that grind of fall camp and the season. We have a mature team and I think we'll handle it well."
Â
Saturday's practice session mirrored Friday's opening run through fall drills. Lindsey led the Trojans through some early special teams periods before transitioning to split offense and defense work before the team came together for 7-on-7 work and eventually full team drills.Â
Â
"The defense flew around," Lindsey said. "They got their hands on a lot of balls, a lot of tipped balls and contested a lot of balls in the secondary. I thought they did a really nice job of flying around and playing with a lot of energy – tomorrow we need to respond offensively and have a better day."
