Georgia State can’t overcome turnovers, loses first game of season to Troy, 28-7

Related Topics: Georgia State, Troy

Georgia State quarterback Darren Grainger committed three turnovers in the Panthers’ 28-7 loss to Troy Saturday night, their first defeat of the season.

Grainger threw an interception on Troy’s 8-yard line on the first drive of the game and fumbled the ball on Troy’s 5-yard line on GSU’s final full drive of the game. He also threw an interception on Georgia State’s 26-yard line in the third quarter.

It was an uncharacteristic performance for the quarterback. Before Saturday Grainger had not thrown a single interception this season.

This game was advertised as the matchup of two of the best running backs in the country, Troy’s Kimani Vidal and GSU’s Marcus Carroll, but neither eclipsed 80 yards.
