Troy coach Jon Sumrall has been on the losing end of two miraculous last-play touchdowns – first as a player at Kentucky before Saturday’s heart-breaking defeat at Appalachian State.
He’s hoping the first experience will help him navigate through the second as the team prepares to host Marshall on Saturday night starting at 6 p.m. at Veterans Memorial Stadium.
On Saturday, Sumrall watched helplessly from the sidelines as App State quarterback Chase Brice threw a 53-yard Hail Mary pass that Christian Horn caught at the 5-yard line after the ball was tipped ball and ran it into the end zone for a 32-28 victory at Kidd-Brewer Stadium in the Sun Belt opener for both teams.
App State forced Troy into a 4th-and-1 situation with 25 seconds remaining at the Trojans’ 11. The Trojans elected to take a safety to run more time off the clock and follow with a free kick. “We get the clock to run and we also push the ball down the field. We got saved maybe a little bit by the high hop on the kick – we got lucky there. But I didn’t coach the kick well enough. That’s on me, not the kicker.
“The biggest regret I had out of the whole process there at the end of the game is I wish I would have coached our kicker on how to kick the kickoff better, but that’s my mistake, not his.”“Coach Sumrall says, ‘So what, now what?’” Robertson said. “It’s in the past; you can’t change the past. We look forward to playing whoever we play next.
Wiregrass players noted: Former Dothan star Jabre Barber was named by Sumrall as the offensive player of the week. The receiver caught six passes for 42 yards.
