Battling the flu virus made it difficult for some Troy players last week in preparing for Army and could challenge some others this week in preparations for the final home
“A bunch of us got that flu bug and I was one of the ones who got it pretty bad,” senior defensive tackle Will Choloh said on Monday. “I feel a lot better now, but it definitely sucked not being able to practice last week because we all know what the Army offense represents.
The Trojans are riding a seven-game win streak going into the matchup Saturday against ULM , which is coming off a 41-38 road win at Georgia State. “A different illness, but similar like you don’t know when somebody is going to pop up and not feel great,” Sumrall said. “It’s one of those deals where the guys who have it today are going to be ready to play on Saturday.
Starting strong safety Dell Pettus was among the players Sumrall didn’t expect would be able to play this past Saturday. Pettus not only played, but recorded seven tackles in the game. Sumrall gave the Nathan Harris/John Johnson Service Award for the week to Kyle Coale, a senior punter/kicker, for his efforts in helping those who were sick.
