Troy Notebook: Trojans turned turnovers into points to get back into game

TROY – Through its first three games, Troy had zero points after turnovers. Of course, the Trojans didn’t force any turnovers in the first two games and recovered a fumble and got an interception last week against Akron.

Troy took advantage of a fumbled kickoff following Tyler Sumpter’s 20-yard field goal. DJ Chatman dropped a short, high kick near the right sideline and Jawon McDowell recovered for the Trojans at the 29.

Troy scored after another turnover in the second quarter. Carlton Martial stripped the ball from Chatman and recovered it on the Troy 48. The linebacker took it back six yards for a first down at the Red Wolves’ 46.
