Troy left tackle Derrick Graham scored a big-man touchdown to the delight of fans everywhere

Troy Bobby Football Duke

Troy’s magical season ended with a crushing loss in the Birmingham Bowl, 17-10, to Duke on Saturday.

The Trojans valiantly battled through head coach Jon Sumrall departing for Tulane — and a stomach bug that the ESPN broadcast said had the team in some distress — but they were still able to pull off one last miracle highlight before the clock hit zero.

On third-and-goal at the two-yard line late in the second half, 6’4″, 314-pound left tackle Derrick Graham took a delayed toss and powered his way into the end zone, slowing down just enough at the goal line to truck a Duke defender in his way.

It was beautiful.

Troy’s field level view of Graham’s run was even better.

Plays like these — and Northern Illinois’ kicker rushing for a 32-yard touchdown in the Camillia Bowl — are exactly why we tune in for these postseason games and college fans were pumped for Graham.
