TROY, Ala. – Following three straight weeks on the road, Troy returns to The Vet on Saturday to take on Georgia Southern in the Sun Belt home opener for the Trojans. Kickoff is slated for 6 p.m., and ESPN+ will carry the broadcast of the game.
Troy (2-3, 0-1 Sun Belt) will match up its stringent defense against the high-powered rushing attack of Georgia Southern (2-3, 1-1). The Trojans are a week removed from holding South Carolina to just 102 rushing yards – the fewest by a Power 5 team against the Trojans since 2006 – while the Eagles rushed for 503 yards on 51 carries in a victory over Arkansas State a week ago.
