Three in the back field definitely. At TROY: The Trojans had strong special teams play under Vollono's guidance the past three seasons, while he helped build the program into a consistent winner. Troy went 23-5 over his two seasons there, won back-to-back Sun Belt Championships and had appearances in the Cure Bowl (2022) and Birmingham Bowl (2023). The Trojans finished the 2022 season ranked in a major poll for the first time in school history, checking in at No. 19 (AP), No. 20 (USA Today/Coaches) and No. 22 (College Football Playoff) in each outlet's final ranking. This past season, kicker Scott Taylor Renfore made 19-of-24 field goal attempts, the second-most makes in program history. Punter Robert Cole turned in the ninth-best season in school history, averaging 42.27 yards per punt. In his first season at Troy, kicker Brooks Buce made 17-of-19 field goal attempts, setting the school's single-season field goal percentage record. Buce was a perfect 4-of-4 on kicks longer than 40 yards. Punter Mike Rivers averaged 42.1 yards per punt that same year, which is the 10th-best mark in school history. His coverage and return units were also strong in his time in Troy. In 2023, his punt unit ranked 36th nationally in punt return defense, surrendering just 5.64 yards per return. The year prior, Troy allowed just one punt return of more than 20 yards (23), and the kickoff team tied for eighth nationally in allowing just one kickoff return of more than 30 yards (36). Based on the above, I don't think it's the teacher, but the consistently bad play of the ST unit on punting and FG unit has raised questions in my mind that's why I went to see his background. HCFB was in his face on camera after one miscue Friday night - let see what happens because Fran said he is addressing it very quickly. [/QUOTE]
