“You couldn’t have scripted it any better … it kind of felt like a movie,” Troy back-up quarterback Jarret Doege said Monday of helping the Trojans to a 34-27 win
Doege transferred to Troy in late August from Western Kentucky, where he spent most of the preseason after transferring there from West Virginia last January.
“I think it made a little bit of a difference,” Doege said. “That last play to Tez, I kind of knew who he was matched up on and checked the play to where I could get him open … I knew he was going to be open.” Being in a back-up role has been different for Doege, who came into the season as the FBS active leader in career passing yards with 10,494 and passing touchdowns with 79.
“So I always just wanted to be prepared because I didn’t know when my number was going to be called and wanted to try and be successful when I got out there.”“I’ve been in this situation before … I’ve played in big-time games before,” Doege said. “So I knew what to do – I was confident in myself, confident in my teammates, confident in my coaches. I just went out there and tried to play freely.
Injury report: Nose tackle Luis Medina and linebacker Jayden McDonald remain out indefinitely. Tight end Deyunkrea Lewis, who has missed the past several weeks, is probable. Cornerback Caleb Ransaw is likely out for this week’s game with an upper body injury. Defensive tackle Will Choloh, like Watson, is probable after getting dinged up at WKU.
