TROY — One side howled in delight, upholding Troy coach Neal Brown’s vow that the T-Day spring game would be fun.

The other groaned in disgust and disputed the final game-deciding play.

For a third straight year under Brown, the Trojans took T-Day to an exciting, edge-of-your-seat conclusion, breaking a tie Saturday with a best-of-3 set of one-on-one competitions.

When the White team is fully able to savor its 21-20 victory, the players will do so while lifting a finely grilled steak to their mouths.

When the Gray team wolfs down its tepid set of hot dogs, those players can still grumble over the decisive play — and glare at offensive lineman Zach Branner.
