Sun Belt Players of the Week
Week One Sun Belt Conference Football Players of the Week – As selected by the Sun Belt media panel
Offensive Player of the Week
Shawn Southward (Troy, Sr., Running Back)
The 2009 Sun Belt Freshman of the Year Shawn Southward put on an impressive display in Troy’s season opener as he rushed for 204 yards and three touchdowns on 28 carries in Troy’s 39-29 victory over UAB. Southward averaged 7.3 yards per carry and his rushing total was the sixth most in a game in Troy history. His three rushing touchdowns are one shy of the school record and moved him into fourth place on the Troy career rushing touchdown record. Southward’s longest run of the afternoon was a 55-yard burst. He became the first Trojan since 2010 to rush for over 100 yards and the first since 2009 to break the 2009 plateau. Southward’s rushing total on Saturday was equal to 37 percent of his total from all of 2011. Southward's rushing total was the fifth most in the NCAA over the weekend.
Defensive Player of the Week
De’Von Terry (Troy, Sr., Linebacker)
Playing in his first football game since 2007, walk-on senior linebacker De’Von Terry had an interception, recovered a fumble and had five tackles in Troy’s 39-29 victory at UAB on Saturday. Terry’s first big play came as UAB was about to score its first points of the game, but the linebacker pounced on a fumble at the Troy 2-yard line. With Troy leading 25-23 in the fourth quarter, Terry intercepted UAB quarterback Jonathan Perry at the Troy 48-yard line; two plays later Troy found the end zone and put the game out of reach.
Special Teams Player of the Week
Brett Baer (Louisiana-Lafayette, Sr., K/P)
Baer picked right up from where he left off, connecting on a career-high 4 field goals (52, 40, 39 & 32 yards) and converting all four extra points as part of a record-setting day. Baer set the school record for consecutive field goals made with 15 (old record 14 by Mike Shafer in 1994) and tied the school mark for points in a game by a kicker with 16 (Rafael Septien in 1974 & Mike Lemoine in 1989). Baer’s 52-yard field goal to open the scoring was the longest of his career and tied for the seventh longest in school history. In addition, Baer punted three times for 125 yards (41.7) with a pair of punts downed inside the 20 and none of the three punts returned.

RE: Sun Belt Players of the Week
No arguments here. I could say that Rodney Gillis or Qyen Griffen should be DPOW, but as UAB is better than Lamar, I can live with a Troy guy getting it.

RE: Sun Belt Players of the Week
Chancellor had 4 receptions for 114 yards and 2 touchdowns. That's 28.5 yards per catch against one of the top 5 defenses in the country. I thought he had a chance to get Offensive Player of the Week.

On an average week that would probably get it but 204 yards rushing and 3 touchdowns is crazy good.

RE: Sun Belt Players of the Week
If it hadn't been for his turnover (during a beautiful return) and the fact we lost, I think TJ Glover had a great chance at the ST award.
Edit: got the numbers for FBS rankings. I know it's only one game but still good.
Kickoff returns - glover ranks 4th
Punt returns - glover ranks 12th
Nice job Trojans.

They were better then last year in my opinion...how much...i couldn't tell ya. Probably not enough to break even but i guess we will see. Fact is they always play Troy hard and close, so being up 17-0 towards the end of the half and winning by 10 says alot to me, but i guess we will find out.

I say give the Defensive Player of the week to the North Texas cornerback who laid out LSU's starting criminal quarterback.

I think they will win 5 MAYBE 6 if they are lucky. They are for sure improved. But I think they will get 5 wins on the season
Troy...Loss
South Carolina...Loss
Ohio State...Loss
Tulsa...Possible Win (They are at home)
SE Louisiana... Win
Houston...Possible, They just lost to Texas Tech
East Carolina...Loss (They will be near top CUSA)
Tulane....Win
Southern Miss...Win(have owned them 3 years in a row)
Marshall...Win (marshall will suck this year at they are at UAB)
Memphis...Win (Memphis really sucks)
UCF....Loss
UAB always pulls a suprise win every year. SO either Tulsa, USM or Marshall will lose to UAB
