AKRON, Ohio — Quarterback Taylor Lamb personally challenged himself this week to play at a higher level as Appalachian State faced a key road battle at Akron. And with his father Bobby watching from the stands, the heady junior directed the Mountaineers to a 45-38 victory over the explosive Zips before 15,381 spectators at InfoCision Stadium.
Lamb directed his offense to a season-high 587 yards, hitting 22-of-30 passes to nine different receivers for 280 yards and three touchdowns passing and added a one-yard scoring burst with one second left in the first half as App State (2-2) turned its 14-10 second-quarter deficit into a 31-14 lead.
