On Saturday afternoon, the Troy Trojans (0-3) will have a very hard time picking up their first win of the season as they have to visit the #13 Georgia Bulldogs (1-1).

Over the weekend, the Troy Trojans lost their third game in a row to start the season when they were upset by Abilene Christian by the score of 38-35. Troy did force two turnovers without coughing it up themselves, but their defense also gave up 493 yards in the loss. The Trojans have the one of the worst defenses in the country right now, giving up 40 points per game through three games.

Even though the Trojans haven't played well as a team, quarterback Brandon Silvers has done pretty well by completing 66.7 percent of his passes for 509 yards with one touchdown and zero interceptions. The true freshman also leads the team in rushing scores with three.

Georgia had a chance to move even further up the rankings last Saturday, but instead they were upset by South Carolina 38-35 on the road. Georgia rushed for 217 yards in the loss, but they were only able to pass for 191 yards. They are averaging 40 points per game, which is 32nd in the country.

Bulldogs running back Todd Gurley has been one of the more impressive backs in the country so far this year by rushing for 329 yards with four touchdowns through just two games. Quarterback Hutson Mason has completed 70.8 percent of his passes this season for 322 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions.
