TROY, Alabama – Troy busted out of the gates with three touchdowns in its first 10 offensive snaps on its way to a 38-16 Sun Belt victory over Georgia Southern to become bowl eligible on Homecoming at Veterans Memorial Stadium on Saturday.
In the true spirit of Halloween, Troy (6-2, 3-1 in Sun Belt) reached into its bag of tricks on the second play of the game as Brandon Silvers threw the ball back to wide receiver John Johnson, who in turn launched a pass 40 yards to freshman Tray Eafford for a touchdown.
