If there was ever a game where you could rest Starters following a rough outing and loss against a Top Ten opponent. They day to do it is today. It was announced before the game that Vernon Adams would not start and Backup Jeff Lockie would get his first start of the season. Georgia State called heads and won the coin toss. They elected to have the ball first.
It was not the best decision. Following two running plays netting a total of three yards, Quarterback Nick Arbuckle threw an interception going through the hands of his Wide Receiver and into the hands of Oregon Ducks Tyree Robinson that was run back for a touchdown giving Oregon an early 7-0 lead.
