The Appalachian State Mountaineers set various milestones during the 2019 football season and they ended it in dramatic fashion , recovering a pair of Alabama-Birmingham (UAB) fumbles that they scooped up and returned for touchdowns to key a 31-17 win Saturday night in the New Orleans Bowl. The game was played in the Mercedes-Bentz Superdome.
The verdict gave Shawn Clark a win in his head coaching debut at his alma mater.
With the win, Appalachian State also extended its bowl game winning streak to five, a debut stretch unmatched at the major college Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) level.
