Thanks in large part to a white-hot start on both sides of the ball, App State cruised past Troy 47-10 on Saturday at Kidd Brewer Stadium. At the 7:09 mark in the first quarter, the Mountaineers extended their early lead to 21-0 on a pick-six from junior cornerback Steven Jones, after which the Trojans never recovered.
