On Senior Day, a heavily senior-led Georgia Southern defense was thrashed by Troy, 35-21, as the Eagles fell to 7-3 on the season.
The GS defense came out and punched Troy in the mouth in the first quarter, holding the Trojans to just three points. It was senior defensive end Logan Hunt who forced a fumble, which was recovered by redshirt-freshman safety Kendrick Duncan Jr.
Already leading 7-3 at the time, GS drove down the field and scored a few plays later after the Trojan turnover. Despite the loss, the Eagles won the turnover battle, forcing two fumbles during the course of the game.
