Sacramento State's Troy Taylor to receive Eddie Robinson Award | |
(STATS) - Sacramento State built Troy Taylor's first season as a college head coach into a theme. The Hornets won nine regular-season games, captured a share of the Big Sky Conference title and qualified for the FCS playoffs - all firsts for the program - just one year after Sacramento State finished 2-8 overall and 0-7 in conference. Having led the nation's biggest improvement, Taylor was announced Thursday as recipient of the 2019 STATS FCS Eddie Robinson Award, which is named for the legendary Grambling State coach and since 1987 has honored the national coach of the year in college football's Division I subdivision.
