Troy sets offensive records in 65-0 blowout of Alcorn Braves

TROY, AL -- Troy invited a previous national championship team back to campus Saturday and then went to work on the school's record book. The Trojans totaled a record 736 yards of total offense and tied quite a few others in Saturday's 65-0 win over Alcorn State.

The school's 1968 NAIA championship team saw its record for points in a half tied and two of its players watched a record they shared tied in Troy's home opener. "The No. 1 stat and No. 1 record is that one with three little prongs on it -- a W," Troy coach Larry Blakeney said. "All the others don't make much difference." Sherrod Martin tied a school record with three interceptions, tying the record first set by Tyrone Ferguson and first tied by Ronnie Shelley in 1968. All of Martin's were in the second quarter.
