Schnellenberger tips hat to Brown, Woods
By Marcus Nelson
Troy was recognized for its thumping of FAU over the weekend by winning two of the three weekly Sun Belt Conference awards.
Trojans quarterback Levi Brown was named the Sun Belt's Offensive Player of the Week after torching the Owls defense for 477 yards.
Also, linebacker Bear Woods was named the SBC Defensive Player of the Week for his 13-tackle performance vs. FAU.
There was a funny moment on this morning's Sun Belt Conference Coaches Teleconference when SBC Assistant Commissioner Travis Llewellyn announced Brown and Woods won their awards just before asking FAU coach Howard Schnellenberger to make a brief opening statement.
"You almost made it for me with the two players of the week from Troy," Schnellenberger said. "The quarterback and linebacker certainly deserve it."
