On a soggy Saturday in Alabama, Georgia Southern fell to 0-7 this season by losing 38-16 at Troy after giving up 28 points in the first half.
First half
The Trojans scored a touchdown on their first offensive possession on the second play of the drive. They ran a trick play as receiver John Johnson threw deep and connected with fellow receiver Travis Eafford for a 40-yard touchdown.
Georgia Southern came back with a scoring drive of its own, capped by junior running back Monteo Garrett's second touchdown run of the season.
It was also notable from the start that GS interim head coach Chad Lunsford made some adjustments to the game plan offensively along with coordinator Bryan Cook.
