COLUMBIA, S.C. — Forty-four years after he helped App State improbably beat South Carolina for the first time, Tommy Sofield stood in Williams-Brice Stadium and called out for the Mountaineers to force a Gamecock turnover.
Moments later, true freshman Nicholas Ross returned an interception for a defensive touchdown.
Make that two dramatic wins against the SEC program.
Becoming just the seventh Group of Five team since the Sun Belt was formed in 2001 to post two Power Five road wins in the same season, App State escaped Columbia with a 20-15 victory in front of big crowd and an ESPN2 audience Saturday night.
