Georgia Southern tried to overcome a stinker of a first half and rally from a 24-3 third quarter deficit against Troy on Saturday night, but came up just short, falling by a 27-24 final score when it was all said and done.
The Eagles struggled to run the ball all night, mustering just 82 yards on the ground as a team, led by Gerald Green with 33. Georgia Southern quarterback Justin Tomlin was not good in this game at all, throwing 3 interceptions, including 2 on Southern’s penultimate and final drives of the game to help seal the win for Troy.
