CHIP LINDSEYSECOND SEASON (6-7)Chip Lindsey, one of the nation’s top innovative offensive minds, begins his second season as Troy’s head coach.

Lindsey has been the architect of some of the nation’s most electric offenses since moving to the collegiate ranks and his first season with the Trojans was no exception.

The Trojans topped the 500-yard mark in total offense on six different occasions to tie the program’s DI record and scored 35-plus points eight times; the second most in program history and fourth most in Sun Belt Conference history. The Trojans finished ninth nationally in passing offense (313.2), 25th in scoring offense (33.8) and 18th in total offense (456.3).

He also guided quarterback Kaleb Barker, just 331 days removed from an ACL injury, to one of the best seasons in Troy history. Barker finished third nationally in completions per game (24.92), fifth in yards per game (302.3), fourth in 300-yard passing games (6) and 14th in touchdown passes (30). Among the Troy all-time greats to play the position, Barker finished third in touchdown passes and passing yards (3,628) and fourth in completions (299). Both Barker and receiver Kaylon Geiger were named to the All-Sun Belt First Team and Geiger was the league’s Newcomer of the Year.

On the defensive side of the football, linebacker Carlton Martial became just the 12th player in the last 20 years to finish a season with 100 tackles, 15 tackles for loss and three interceptions on his way to All-America honors while true freshman safety Dell Pettus was named a Freshman All-American.

The offseason saw the positive momentum continue as Lindsey and his staff signed one of the top recruiting classes in program history as the Trojans welcomed the second-ranked class in the Sun Belt and the second-highest rated class in school history according to 247Sports. Troy added 17 three-star players in the class including several ranked near the top 100 in their position nationally.

Lindsey was named the offensive coordinator at Kansas the month prior to being named Troy’s head coach in Jan. 2019 following two seasons at Auburn and one season at Arizona State as both schools’ offensive coordinator.

Lindsey’s first stint at Auburn as an offensive analyst resulted in the Tigers winning the SEC Championship and making a BCS National Championship run, while his most recent tenure on The Plains saw Auburn set school records and post one of the best offensive seasons in SEC history.

In 2017, Auburn became just the eighth team in SEC history and the first in Auburn history to rush and pass for 3,000 yards in a season. The Tigers also ranked 26th nationally in total offense and set an Auburn record scoring 327 points in SEC play. Auburn won the SEC West Division after knocking off a pair of top-ranked teams in Georgia and Alabama over a three-week period.

All-SEC quarterback Jarrett Stidham, the second Auburn player ever to throw for 3,000 yards in a season, led the SEC and ranked ninth nationally in completion percentage. Running back Kerryon Johnson was SEC Offensive Player of the Year, and Ryan Davis set an Auburn receiving record with 84 catches.

Prior to leaving for Kansas, Lindsey’s final season at Auburn saw the Tigers defeat Pac-12 Champion Washington and nationally-ranked Texas A&M.

Lindsey returned to Auburn from Arizona State, where he served as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2016. The Sun Devils started 5-1 before losing three quarterbacks to injury; running back Kalen Ballage tied an NCAA record scoring eight touchdowns in a 68-55 win over Texas Tech.

As offensive coordinator at Southern Miss from 2014-15, he developed the Conference USA 2015 Offensive Player of the

Year and current San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens, who ranked second in the league in passing yards (4,145) and TD passes (36), and ranked in the top eight in the nation in both marks in 2015.

The Southern Miss offense broke five single-season school records in 2015: completions (312), passing yards (4,263), total offense yards (6,758), touchdowns (67) and points (528), as the Golden Eagles recorded nine wins, a Conference USA West title, and a berth in the Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl against Washington.

Lindsey’s 2015 Golden Eagle offense ranked fifth in the nation in total touchdowns, seventh in total points, eighth in total passing yards and completions, and 12th in points per game and passing yards per game. The 2015 Golden Eagles tallied more than 4,200 passing yards and just under 2,500 rushing yards. The national leader with 102 explosive plays, Southern Miss was just the second school in FBS history with a 4,000-yard passer, a 1,000-yard receiver and two 1,000-yard rushers.

Prior to his first stint at Auburn, from 2011-12, Lindsey served as head coach at Spain Park (Ala.) High School, leading the school to its first 6A regional championship.

Lindsey served as quarterbacks coach at Troy in 2010, following a long and distinguished career as a prep coach (1997-2009) in football and baseball. At Troy, he coached the Sun Belt Freshman of the Year Corey Robinson and helped guide the Trojans to their fifth consecutive Sun Belt Championship. Robinson set a school record for completions (321) that season while his 3,726 passing yards rank as the second most in Troy history; he threw for 387 yards and four touchdowns in Troy’s New Orleans Bowl victory. The Trojans totaled the second most passing touchdowns (33) and most completions (340) in a season in school history.

A two-time coach of the year honoree (2008-09) at Lassiter (Ga.) High School, he guided the development of Parade All-American Hutson Mason, who broke every single-season state passing record in 2009, including passing yards (4,560) and touchdowns (54), and Phillip Lutzenkirchen, who would break tight end records at Auburn. The Trojans went 12-1 and won a regional championship in 2009, and Lindsey received state coach of the year honors from the Atlanta Falcons and the Cobb County Touchdown Club. The Associated Press, Marietta Daily Journal and Cobb County Touchdown Club named him the 2008 Georgia Coach of the Year.

Lindsey served as offensive coordinator at Hoover (Ala.) High School in 2007 as the team finished 10-2 and advanced to the third round of the state playoffs. Lindsey’s first experience as a head coach came from 2005-06 at Colbert Heights (Ala.) High School, where he earned 2006 Coach of the Year honors from the Florence Times-Daily.

Lindsey spent the 1997-2004 seasons as an assistant coach, including Florence, Deshler, Sparkman, and Springville High Schools in Alabama.

Lindsey played football at the University of North Alabama before transferring as a student to Alabama, where he received his bachelor’s degree in history and English in 1997. He earned a master’s in educational leadership from the University of Phoenix in 2005.

A native of Madison, Ala., Lindsey graduated from Bob Jones High School, where he was a three-sport letterman.

Lindsey and his wife Cecily have four children: Claire, Caroline, Cooper and Conner.

STOPS BEHIND THE LINE

ALL-AMERICANS • Troy's defense features a pair of All-Americans in junior linebacker Carlton Martial and sophomore safety Dell Pettus.

• Martial was named the No. 35 player in the country by Pro Football Focus and was named to the PFF All-America Second Team, while Pettus was named to the PFF Freshman All-America Team.

• Pettus followed in Martial's footsteps as the Troy linebacker earned Freshman All-America honors in 2018.



• Troy has held four opponents without a third-down conversion since moving to the FBS ranks.

LSU 2017 0-for-9Arkansas State 2007 0-for-13North Texas 2006 0-for-13Florida Atlantic 2002 0-for-12

NO THIRD DOWNS fOR YOU

DEfENSE QUICk HITTERS• Four Trojans made their first career starts on the defensive side of the football against Middle Tennessee - Elgin Griffin, Javon Solomon, Reddy Steward and Craig Slocum.

• Troy held Middle Tennessee to just 241 yards of offense, the fewest against an FBS opponent since limiting South Alabama to 224 yards in 2017.

• The 154 passing yards allowed by Troy's defense was the fewest against an FBS opponent since 2018 (App State).

• Troy's tackle numbers were low for the game ... the Trojans were only credited with four assisted tackles against the Blue Raiders.

• Safety Craig Slocum was named to the Pro Football Focus National Team of the Week ... he intercepted a pass and was credited with one tackle, while game film showed he had at least three tackles in the game.

• Troy scored 17 points off three Middle Tennessee turnovers in the game.

DL NOTES

• Troy's bandit position has produced some of the best the Sun Belt has to offer under coach Bam Hardmon. Troy's starting bandit has earned All-Sun Belt First Team honors in four of Hardmon's five seasons.

Hunter Reese - 2017 & 2018 (Former walk-on)Rashad Dillard - 2016 (SBC Defensive Player of the Year)Tyler Roberts - 2015

• Auburn transfer Richard Jibunor is slated to be Troy's starter at the position this season.

BANDIT USUALLY AMONg SUN BELT BEST

•Troy's projected starters on the interior of the defensive line have something in common ... they're both Georgia state champion wrestlers.

• Junior Will Choloh helped lead Archer High School to the state championship his junior and sophomore seasons ... Choloh was a sectional champion.

• True freshman Luis Medina won the 285-pound weight class his junior and senior seasons at Chattooga High School ... Chattooga won the Georgia 2A team title his senior year. Medina also finished second as a sophomore.

• The two did meet on the mat and the stories about who won and by how many points is up for contention between the pair.

• Moving one level back on the defense, linebacker KJ Robertson was an Alabama state champion at Thompson High School.

WRESTLINg IN THE TRENCHES

• Will Choloh won the race for the first points on the board by a defensive player after sacking Middle Tennessee's quarterback in the end zone for a safety in the second quarter.

• The safety turned into nine points after the Trojans scored a touchdown on the ensuing drive.

CHOLOH PUTTINg POINTS ON THE BOARD

LB NOTES

• Troy's linebacker corp is the most experienced unit on the defensive side of the ball with Carlton Martial, KJ Robertson and Justin Whisenhunt all returning with significant starts under their belts.

• The trio have combined to start 42 games despite the Trojans only playing two linebackers in their 4-2-5 scheme.

ExPERIENCED gROUP

• Redshirt-freshman Tre' Ross has a new home for the Trojans after signing with the program as a tight end.

• Ross approached the coaches about playing defense and with injuries piling up last season, Ross got his wish before Troy's game at Louisiana.

• The move was made permanent over the offseason and Ross dropped 70 spots off his uniform number from 85 to 15 in his new role.

NEW LB, WHO DIS?

SPECIAL TEAMS NOTESSPECIAL TEAMS TDS THE NORM

• Troy has scored eight special teams touchdowns since 2016, which is the 11th most in the country over that time.

1. Memphis 132. San Diego State 113. Pittsburgh 11 Kansas State 115. Alabama 10 Maryland 10 Utah State 10 Washington 99. TCU 9 USC 911. Troy 8

• Freshman All-American Dell Pettus is making the second move of his young career.

• Pettus was originally slotted to play cornerback for the Trojans but shifted to free safety and thrived in the roll. In 2020, Pettus is on the move again, this time to strong safety.

• He is well prepared for the move thanks to a productive offseason ... Pettus added 11 pounds to his frame (now 196 pounds) under new strength coach Rusty Whitt. Pettus also added a new number switching from 19 to 31.

SECONDARY SHUffLE

SECONDARY NOTES

• Troy welcomes back one of the premier cornerbacks in the Sun Belt Conference for the 2020 season in Terence Dunlap who was ineligible for the 2019 season.

• As a sophomore in 2018, allowed only 53.1 percent of targeted passes to be completed, which was the second best among all Trojans. He also finished with 43 tackles, broke up four passes and allowed an average of just 2.15 yards after catch.

• Dunlap's return was all that the Trojans could have hoped for as he intercepted passes on back-to-back Middle Tennessee drives in the third quarter ... both led to Troy touchdowns which put the game on ice.

WELCOME BACk

• The Troy coaching staff bestowed a scholarship upon Craig Slocum on the opening day of fall camp this year; it's safe to say after just one game he's earned it.

• Named to the Pro Football Focus National Team of the Week after posting a 91.5 overall grade with an interception and three tackles (per PFF, was only officially credited with one tackle).

• Slocum intercepted a pass in the second quarter and returned it for a touchdown. However, it was called back after a questionable block in the back penalty -- MTSU's quarterback was in pursuit of Slocum and came to an abrupt stop in front of Carlton Martial who had no choice but to run into him.

SCHOLARSHIP = EARNED

• Troy's rebuilt secondary got off to a solid start according to Pro Football Focus.

• Cornerbacks Terence Dunlap and Reddy Steward combined to allow just two receptions on five total targets. Dunlap intercepted a pair of passes while Steward broke up two passes.

• Craig Slocum was named to the Pro Football Focus National Team of the Week after posting a 91.5 overall grade, while Kyle Nixon did not allow a reception on two targets and broke up a pass.

STRONg START

• Evan Legassey made one of the biggest field goals in Troy history, a 37-yard kick as time expired in the first half at LSU ... Troy would go on to win the game 24-21.

• He would lose his job the following week after missing two field goals against South Alabama and he ended the year 1-for-5 in that department.

• Two years later, Legassey is back as Troy's starting field goal kicker and his first attempt was a 47-yard bomb against Middle Tennessee that was right down the middle and would have been good from 55 yards.

• He also was true on all six of his extra point attempts. Troy kickers have now made 137 straight PATs dating back to the 2017 season.

MARTIAL'S STORY

• Carlton Martial's story is a remarkable one. He came to Troy as a 5-foot-9 walk-on with no FBS offers, three FCS offers (Alabama A&M, Alcorn State, Jackson State) and doue DII offers (North Alabama, West Alabama, Tuskegee, West Florida).

• He redshirted the 2017 season and made his mark on the scout team, so much so that former head coach Neal Brown put Martial on scholarship before he every played a collegiate snap.

• The the Sun Belt by storm his freshman season en route to Freshman All-America honors ... was rated by PFF as the 20th best defensive player in the country and fifth nationally against the run – three of the four players ahead of him were selected within the first 13 picks of the NFL Draft (minimum of 375 snaps).

• In 2019, he was named to the Pro Football Focus All-America Second Team and was named the No. 35 player in the country by PFF … Became just the 12th player and first underclassman in the last 20 years at the FBS level to finish a season with at least 100 tackles, 15 tackles for loss and three interceptions … Named to the All-Sun Belt First Team … Closed the year with 126 tackles, the most by a Troy player since 2000, and 18.5 tackles for loss, the fifth most in a season in Troy history, and three picks … Only player in the country to rank in the top eight nationally in tackles (10.5) and tackles for loss per game (1.54).

• His 126 tackles stand as the most by a Troy player since 2000. That is significant because the NCAA changed the rule how defensive stats were measured prior to the 2004 season. • Added to the rule book in 2004 was the statement – "Defensive numbers compiled by the coaching staff or other university/college personnel using game film will not be considered 'official' NCAA statistics." • Layman's terms? Prior to 2004, schools would adjust defensive tackle numbers quite considerably based on the loose definition by coaches when they broke down the game film on Sundays after games – players tackle totals would regularly double from Saturday to Monday and clog up the record books with totals that seem unreachable.

MARTIAL ALL OVER THE fIELD

• Last season against Southern Miss, Martial finished with 16 tackles -- the seventh most in school history -- and 4.5 tackles for loss, which tied DeMarcus Ware (2004) and Kenny Mainor (2007) for the school record.

UNTIED SHOE

• Every player has their own superstitions but Carlton Martial might be alone with his.

• Look down at his left foot during the game and you'll noticed that he left shoe is untied. Why? No good reason other than it would never stay tied his freshman year at McGill-Toolen High School so he just left it untied and a tradition was born.

2020 TRACkER

• Carlton Martial was officially credited with just three tackles at Middle Tennessee but Pro Football Focus graders had him with five stops in the game.

• Credited with a hurry and tipped a ball that led to a Terence Dunlap interception.

• Graded at 84.1 percent overall for the game; third best on the team behind Craig Slocum and Will Choloh.

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – A Will Choloh safety and a five-yard touchdown pass from sophomore Gunnar Watson to senior Khalil McClain with three seconds left in the first half powered the Troy Trojans football program to a commanding 19-point lead, en route to a 47-14 victory over Middle Tennessee at Floyd Stadium to capture the coveted Palladium Trophy. In his first start as a Trojan, Watson impressed, completing 26-of-37 passes for 248 yards and his first career touchdown. Watson becomes the first Troy quarterback to win his first career start since Corey Robinson defeated Bowling Green back in 2010 (Sept. 4). Troy (1-0) was extremely balanced on the afternoon, rushing for 240 yards on 55 carries. Redshirt senior BJ Smith was the Trojans leading rusher (10 rushes, 81 yards) in his much-anticipated return to action. Seven different Trojans were credited with a touchdown led by McClain (6 receptions, 75 yards and 2 touchdowns) and Charles Strong (11 rushes, 54 yards and a touchdown). The Trojans reached at least 400 yards of total offense for the ninth time in Chip Lindsey's tenure (13 games) as head coach, as 10 different Trojans recorded a reception. On the opposite side of the ball, the new look Trojan defense impressed, forcing Asher O'Hara and the Blue Raiders (0-2) offensive attack into three interceptions and two turnovers on downs. O'Hara completed 16-of-23 for just 109 yards and zero touchdowns. The Blue Raiders recorded just 241 yards of total offense. The Trojans defense held an opponent to fewer than 250 yards of total offense for the first time since they held Akron to just 242 yards in a 35-7 victory.
