It was late morning after the excruciatingly tough loss at Appalachian State last month when Troy head coach Jon Sumrall arrived at his office to see a player sitting by
“We got back at, I don’t know, midnight or 12:30 from that plane ride … and I went to church on Sunday morning and came into the office about 11, and Craig Slocum was sitting there in the DB room by himself watching the tape unsolicited by the coaches; we had no meetings at that time,” Sumrall said.
People are also reading… Not only is Slocum a strong cover man, but he’s second on the team in tackles this season with 53, just 10 behind linebacker Carlton Martial, the all-time career tackles leader in the Sun Belt Conference.“Really, just coach Wood emphasizing running to the ball each and every week,” Slocum said. “He just tries to tell us good things happen around the ball, so I just try to find myself being around the ball. It leads to me getting a lot of tackles behind Carlton.
Slocum knows the secondary and defense as a whole will face one of its toughest challenges on Thursday night at South Alabama against quarterback Carter Bradley, a transfer from Toledo who threw for a school-record 420 yards during a 41-34 victory over Louisiana-Monroe last Saturday night. Slocum said the secondary benefits from the play of the Trojans’ defensive linemen rushing in on the quarterbacks, though it sometimes means having to stick with the receivers longer if the quarterback has success avoiding the rush.
