TROY – Gunnar Watson has grown accustomed to battling for the Troy starting quarterback job.
“It’s been like that for three years, so I’m used to it,” the junior said following the Trojans first practice of fall camp Wednesday.
“He could probably turn it loose a touch more, but I’d rather be cautious the first few days and get him full speed in a few days instead of having a setback early,” first-year Troy head coach Jon Sumrall said of Hawkins. “I think in the next week he’ll be 100 percent.” “I was looking at schools and my dad brought it up and we looked more into it,” Costelli said of Troy “We’ve always heard good things and it’s always been a solid program.
Watson believes the offense has definitely progressed since the spring, when the unit appeared to be getting beat by the defense on a consistent basis.
