App State comeback effort falls short, Mountaineers fall to Georgia Southern 24-21

The Mountaineers undefeated season came to an end on Thursday when they lost to rival Georgia Southern 24-21 at home.

App State started out slowly, scoring only 7 points before the start of the 4th quarter. A couple of big touchdown runs from Southern quarterback Shai Werts and running back Wesley Kennedy broke the game open for the Eagles and gave them a 24-7 lead that they never gave up.
