the highest level of NCAA competition, Division 1-A (FBS), in
2001; and
WHEREAS, the 2017 Troy University Football Team,
coached by Mr. Neal Brown, won its record sixth Sun Belt
Conference football title and compiled the most successful

LSU's 49-game home nonconference winning streak; and
WHEREAS, the Troy Trojans set an R+L Carriers New
Orleans Bowl record with 50 points in its victory over the
University of North Texas on December 16, as the Sun Belt

WHEREAS, Coach Brown's Trojan teams have won 22 of
27 games dating back to the 2015 season, including a current
seven-game winning streak, which is the fourth longest in the
