Â
TROY, Ala. – Troy's Brooks Buce has been named the Sun Belt Conference Special Teams Player of the Week; the league office announced Monday afternoon. Buce booted a pair of field goals, including the game-winner with less than two minutes to play, in Troy's win over Georgia Southern.
Â
Buce, a junior from Johns Creek, Ga., put Troy on the board with a 29-yard field on the Trojans' opening drive of the game and then capped the scoring with a 24-yard field goal with 1:46 to play to push Troy in front, 27-24. He was also perfect on his three extra-point attempts in the game.
Â
He booted three of his six kickoffs through the end zone for touchbacks, and his kicks helped limit the Eagles to just 23.3 yards per return on the other three kicks.
Â
Buce is 3-for-3 on his field goal attempts this season, and his make at ULM two weeks ago was his first attempt since his senior year in high school, 1,751 days prior.
Â
Troy hits the road again this weekend for a Sun Belt Conference matchup at Texas State. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m., and the game will be broadcast on ESPN+.
