On a sunny Saturday in Statesboro the Troy Football team (8-2, 6-0 Sunbelt) knocked off Georgia Southern (7-3, 4-2), 35-21 in one of the most important Sunbelt games of the season.
Both teams came into the game 7-2 with control of its own destiny in the conference standings.
With this loss, Georgia Southern’s hopes of hosting the first Sun Belt conference championship look to be over.
It was a rough start for Troy after scoring an early field goal in the first five minutes.
