Senior receiver Deondre Douglas knows full well that no Troy team has posted three consecutive 10-win seasons. That achievement would be impactful for the seniors.

“We’ve always talked about since we got here we wanted to leave something here, our class,” Douglas said. “So this 10 th win would put us at the most winning run. That’s the best way we could possibly go out. It’d be a big thing for us.”

Senior safety Cedarius Rookard was even more blunt.

“We have to get this 10 th win, for real,” Rookard insisted. “Coach Brown was harping on getting a 10 th win because our senior class wants to go out leaving a legacy. I feel like if we get our 10 th win we’ll leave a legacy at Troy.”

Freshman All-American linebacker Carlton Martial said the underclassmen will play hard for the seniors.

“We just want to send our seniors out with a win,” Martial said. “It’s the last game of the season, we want to get to 10 wins. It’ll be an exciting game for us, exciting game for a fans and an exciting game for our seniors.”

Sophomore Marcus Jones of Enterprise said not many teams get to 10 wins in college football. To do it three years in a row “is very motivating.”
