The Troy Trojans fell to Georgia Southern 28-24 in a last-second thriller to cap off the regular season with nine wins.

The Trojans (9-3, 6-2 Sun Belt) needed the victory to claim a share in the Sun Belt conference title, but fell just short as the Eagles (4-4 Sun Belt) picked up their fifth win of the season.

In a game that saw five lead changes, Troy got on the board first after capitalizing on an Eagle turnover.
