In the biggest game of the 2020 season so far for both teams, the Appalachian State Mountaineers lost 34-23 to the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers Saturday afternoon at Brooks Stadium in Conway, SC.
The game was played before a limited audience at the stadium due to Coronavirus, but with perhaps millions watching on the national television ESPN 2 broadcast.
Trailing 23-21, Coastal Carolina scored two touchdowns in the final 2:24 of the game to claim the win.
Safety Alex Spillum intercepted Appalachian State quarterback Zac Thomas’s pass to give Coastal Carolina the ball at the Mountaineers’ 49-yard-line with 6:59 remaining to set up the first of those touchdowns.
