No Troy fan needs to be reminded that there weren't many positives coming out of last Saturday's 45-7 home loss to Appalachian State.
It didn't take linebacker K.J. Robertson long to find one, however. Robertson's eyes scanned the postgame stat sheet. Just before he took media questions, Robertson shook his head and whispered, "Eighteen."
Nearby reporters who heard this asked what he was looking at. With a noticeable mix of approval and awe in his voice, Robertson expanded on "18."
"Carlton had 18 tackles. Lord have mercy," he said. "Of course, he'll do that."
Yes, Trojan linebacker Carlton Martial will do that.
