Trojans lost 28-26 to Nevada in Gerad Parker’s coaching debut
Troy 's Damaje Yancey makes a tackle vs. Nevada at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Troy on Saturday, Aug. 31, 2024. Gerad Parker’s debut as Troy ’s head football coach was not a memorable one in most senses of the word, as the
“Losing’s not acceptable here at Troy,” Parker said. “It’s not accepted by our players, our staff, and our fan base. And I understand that, and that’s my responsibility to make sure we put our football team in a position where we don’t have to deal with that very much. Despite the loss, Parker said he saw some good things from his team on Saturday. Most notably, the Trojans — champions of the Sun Belt Conference the last two seasons under Jon Sumrall — fought until the final whistle.
Troy has not opened a season 0-2 since 2014, the final year of Larry Blakeney’s 24-year tenure as Trojans head coach. The last season-opening loss at home came to Boise State in 2018. Memphis features one of the top quarterbacks in the Group of 5 in senior Seth Henigan, a fourth-year starter who has passed for 11,072 yards and 81 touchdowns in his college career. The Texas native passed for 308 yards and two scores in a 40-0 victory over North Alabama in the Tigers’ season-opener last week.
