Offense makes strides in second scrimmage

TROY, Ala. - The Troy University football team had three quarterbacks throw for over 90 yards in the Trojans’ second scrimmage of the fall in Movie Gallery Veterans Stadium on Saturday afternoon, showing the continued progress of the offense.
Senior Aaron Leak completed 12-of-22 passes for 99 yards, two touchdowns and one interception with the first-team offense, while true freshman DT McDowell completed 8-of-18 passes for 123 yards and three touchdowns in work with both the second- and first-team squads. Sophomore Carl Meadows threw for 92 yards on 7-for-15 passes.

that is great news for you guys, anyone know where McDowell is on the depth chart?

As far as I know D.T. is still going to be third. They moved another freshman QB (Gary Banks) to the WR position after D.T. reported to camp. Banks would have been third. However, Blakeney has made comments about D.T. seeing some playing time early, so that means he isn't going to be red-shirted. So heck, if you've got a blue-chip and he's not red-shirted you may as well get your scholarships worth right? I think he'll begin the season at third and who knows how he'll finish.

GO TROJANS!

I bet your right, if Leak struggles early McDowell will and should get the call to see what he can do.
