1. The offense still struggles to get started
App State received the opening kickoff and punted the ball away one minute later. The drive went three plays for a total of five yards. Redshirt junior running back Camerun Peoples rushed once for zero yards while redshirt senior quarterback Chase Brice had one completion for those five yards. An incompletion on third down stopped the drive and forced a punt.
Two plays later, the Mountaineer defense forced a turnover, placing the ball on the Robert Morris 34-yard line. With great field position, the offense still fell flat.
