TROY TROJANS NEWS

Tucker Kilcrease - Slated for second career start Kilcrease will get his second career start in the absence of Goose Crowder (upper body), national college football writer Brett McMurphy reports.

Impact Kilcrease started last week in place of the injured Crowder. He lost a fumble early in the game but wound up throwing for 249 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions while completing 60.7 percent of his passes. He'll look to build on those numbers against South Alabama on Tuesday night.

Goose Crowder - Won't play vs. South Alabama Crowder (upper body) is out for Tuesday's game at South Alabama, national college football writer Brett McMurphy reports.

Impact Crowder suffered an upper-body injury vs. ULM and has struggled to recover, as he's now set to miss a second straight contest. This means Tucker Kilcrease will get the start under center, and Crowder's next chance to feature will come against Arkansas State on Oct. 26.

Damien Taylor - Works as lead back Taylor tallied 11 rushes for 63 yards and hauled in their only target for six yards during Thursday's 38-17 defeat versus Texas State.

Impact Taylor had been splitting carries with Gerald Green throughout the season but emerged as the clear No. 1 on Thursday. He outcarried Green 11 to 3 -- Green's fewest rush attempts in 2024 -- and averaged 5.7 yards per carry. Taylor has 399 yards and two touchdowns across six games.

Devonte Ross - Inefficient on 10 targets Ross compiled two receptions (on 10 targets) for 26 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 38-17 defeat against Texas State.

Impact Ross commanded a 31.3 percent target share in the loss but caught merely two of the 10 passes thrown his way. The wideout still found paydirt, scoring from 19 yards out late in the third quarter. Through six games, Ross has turned 54 targets into 31 receptions for 556 yards and seven touchdowns.

Tucker Kilcrease - First start yields mixed results Kilcrease completed 17 of 28 passes for 249 yards and two touchdowns during Thursday's 38-17 defeat against Texas State. He also had 13 rushes for negative seven yards.

Impact Kilcrease made his first career start Thursday, filling in for Goose Crowder (undisclosed). Kilcrease was solid outside of a fumble in the first quarter, completing 60.7 percent of passes and averaging 8.9 yards per attempt. The sophomore got banged up during the contest and ceded a pair of drives to Matthew Caldwell, but Kilcrease managed to close out the contest. Troy will be idle in Week 7 before facing South Alabama on Oct. 15.

Goose Crowder - Missing Thursday matchup Crowder (upper body) is unavailable for Thursday's outing versus Texas State, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Crowder was a game-time decision ahead of the matchup, but it looks like the team will rest him through the bye week in hopes he'll be able to play on Oct. 15 against South Alabama. With the junior quarterback out with an upper body injury, backup quarterback Tucker Kilcrease will get the start against the Bobcats.

Tucker Kilcrease - Officially starting Thursday Kilcrease will start Thursday's game versus Texas State, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact With Goose Crowder (undisclosed) unavailable, Kilcrease will make his first career start Thursday. He replaced Crowder last week and completed six of 10 passes for 57 yards, adding 55 yards on nine attempts on the ground.

Tucker Kilcrease - Spotted warming up Kilcrease (undisclosed) was spotted warming up ahead of Troy's clash with Texas State, Josh Boutwell of the Troy Messenger reports.

Impact Kilcrease looks like he could be in line to start this week, as Troy's starting gunslinger Goose Crowder was no where to be seen during on-field warm-ups. It looks as if Kilcrease is set to log his first true start of the season. The quarterback went 6-of-10 for 57 yards in relief of Crowder last week.

OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Goose Crowder - Not seen warming up Thursday Crowder (undisclosed) has not been spotted warming up ahead of Thursday's game versus Texas State, Josh Boutwell of the Troy Messenger reports.

Impact Crowder is officially a game-time decision for Thursday's contest after being injured in Saturday's loss to Louisiana-Monroe. Crowder's backup, Tucker Kilcrease who is also a game-time decision, is warming up, so the early signs are leaning towards Kilcrease getting the start.

OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Tucker Kilcrease - Game-time decision Thursday Head coach Gerad Parker indicated that Kilcrease (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision ahead of Thursday's game against Texas State, per Josh Boutwell of the Troy Messenger.

Impact Kilcrease threw for 57 yards last week against Louisiana-Monroe after filling in for injured starter Goose Crowder, but Kilcrease is now listed as a game-time decision. The sophomore quarterback has appeared in four games for the Trojans this season, throwing for 130 yards and a touchdown while adding 125 yards on the ground as well. Unfortunately for Troy, Crowder is also listed as a game-time decision and with both top quarterbacks possibly in line to miss Thursday's game, third-stringer Matthew Caldwell could be in for another start for the Trojans this season.

OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Goose Crowder - Game-time decision Thursday Crowder (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for the Trojans' game Thursday against Texas State, Josh Boutwell of The Troy Messenger reports.

Impact The Trojans are expected to name their starting quarterback a few hours or less before they host Texas State. But with Tucker Kilcrease (undisclosed) also a game-time decision, both QBs sitting out would likely result in Matthew Caldwell under center.

Damien Taylor - Solid showing in Week 5 Taylor posted 17 carries for 71 yards and reeled in 0 of 1 targets for zero yards during Saturday's 13-9 loss to Louisiana-Monroe.

Impact Troy attempted only 12 passes on the day, resulting in a season-high 17 carries for Taylor. While he averaged 4.2 yards per carry, Taylor was outperformed by Gerald Green, who rushed 13 times for 102 yards. Still, Taylor remains Troy's lead back, tallying 336 rush yards with three total touchdowns on 57 carries in 2024.

SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Gerald Green - Breaks out against ULM Green tallied 13 carries for 102 yards during Saturday's 13-9 defeat to Louisiana-Monroe.

Impact Green had largely been bottled up in 2024, entering Saturday's contest averaging 23.5 rushing yards per game on merely 3.0 yards per carry. However, he snapped out of the slump, topping the century mark on just 13 attempts. While Green was outcarried 17 to 13 by Damien Taylor, Green generated 31 more rush yards.

SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Devonte Ross - Held in check Ross recorded three receptions (on four targets) for 29 yards during Saturday's 13-9 defeat versus Louisiana-Monroe. He also rushed two times for eight yards.

Impact After racking up 16 catches for 371 yards and five touchdowns during Troy's last two games, Ross came back to earth Saturday against ULM. The Junior wideout was targeted a season-low four times as the Trojans turned to a run-heavy attack. Still, Ross posted a 33.3 percent target share. Look for Ross to bounce back Thursday against Texas State, a team that's allowed 27 or more points in three of their four games.

SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Tucker Kilcrease - Quiet in relief Kilcrease completed 6 of 10 passes for 57 yards during Saturday's 13-9 loss versus Louisiana-Monroe. He also had nine rushes for 55 yards.

Impact Kilcrease was pushed into the game early Saturday after starter Goose Crowder (undisclosed) was knocked out of the game on the Trojans' second drive. While Kilcrease showed some rushing chops, he didn't lead a touchdown drive and finished with just 57 yards through the air. Kilcrease would likely remain under center if Crowder can't play Thursday against Texas State.

SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Goose Crowder - Suffers injury in loss Crowder was 1-for-1 passing for 14 yards during Saturday's 13-9 loss to Louisiana-Monroe.

Impact Crowder was taken out of the game after being hit and drawing a roughing the passer call during Troy's first drive. Tucker Kilcrease entered in his place and finished out the drive, but Crowder would re-take the reigns for Troy's second possession. The Trojans still couldn't protect Crowder, allowing a sack that would knock the quarterback out of the contest permanently with an undisclosed injury. Crowder has already missed a game this season due to a shoulder injury. He won't have much time to recover before Troy plays Texas State on Thursday.
