TROY – Two defensive touchdowns, a big fumble recovery and a valiant effort from back-up quarterback Jacob Free wasn’t quite enough as Troy fell to Georgia State 36-34 in Sun Belt Conference action on Saturday.
Appearing down and out in trailing 36-28 with under two minutes to play, Troy got new life when Kyle Nixon recovered a Georgia State fumble at the Panthers’ 47 after running back Destin Coates, who ran for 115 yards in the game, lost the ball after a hit by K.
