About 50 international students from Troy University got a lesson and behind the scenes look at Trojan football thanks to Troy University Athletics on Wednesday.

The students tried on helmets and pads, learned the lingo of the game, toured the Trojans’ football facilities, and took in some of Troy’s practice.

The Trojans open the season Sept. 1 when they take on Boise State at Veterans Memorial Stadium. Kickoff is at 5 p.m.
