Appalachian State keeps making record-shattering milestones after its transition to the Football Bowl Subdivision level.
Playing without their first-string quarterback, the Mountaineers used a stingy defense and a strong running attack to beat Coastal Carolina 23-7 in a Sun Belt Conference game in Conway, SC Saturday and become bowl eligible.
It marked Appalachian State’s sixth win in eight games this season, including its fourth in five conference tilts.
Appalachian State is the only program with a bowl win in each of its first three eligible seasons after the complete transition from the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) ranks.
