After playing at Bowling Green, West Virginia and Western Kentucky, Doege came to Troy for his final year of college eligibility last season as the nation’s leading active passer. He played in seven games for the Trojans, completing 44-of-64 pass attempts for 575 yards and five touchdowns.

Former Trojan Chandler Worthy also had a big day for the Montreal Alouettes in a 38-12 win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Worthy caught one pass for 12 yards along with returning four kickoffs for 77 yards and six punts for 86 yards and a touchdown. The touchdown came with the Alouettes trailing 6-0 late in the first quarter, giving Montreal its first lead of the game. It was also Worthy’s first touchdown of the season.
