Saturday’s contest between the Georgia Southern Eagles and the Troy Trojans went just about as expected as the home team Trojans cruised to a 38-16 win in the driving rain.
It was the debut for GS interim coach Chad Lunsford, and at least early on the team did show some signs of new life. Perhaps inspired by Mr. “Show up, cuz we’re gonna show out,” Southern’s Monteo Garrett scored an early touchdown and kicker Tyler Bass later added a 46-yard field goal, the longest of his career to date.
But that was about it.
