Jon Johnson TROY – “I can promise you this … ain’t no quitters around here,” Troy coach Jon Sumrall said after his team dropped a hard-fought 16-14 decision to James Madison in the Sun Belt Conference opener for both teams Saturday night.
After a good defensive stand, Troy began a drive after setting up on the JMU 47 following a punt with 7:50 left. Facing 3rd-and-5, Watson threw out of bounds under heavy pressure and was flagged for intentional grounding, setting up a 4th-and-15 play with 43 seconds left. “We always use something like this as motivation and it’s only going to make us come together even more. This week is gone, so we’ve just got to look forward and do our best this coming week.”“Coming into this season, we knew we were going to get everybody’s best shot,” Jibunor said. “We’re disappointed with the outcome, but we’re really excited going forward.”
MAKING THE PLAYS: Robert Cole had a nice game punting, which included one for 56 yards that was downed at the 1. For the game, he punted seven times for a 44-yard per kick average. Jibunor got his first sack of the season in dropping QB Jordan McCloud for a 7-yard loss midway through the third. Chris Lewis caught a 30-yard pass early in the first quarter. Stoudemire made a 26-yard catch late in the second quarter.
