Relentless pressure by Appalachian States defense that featured continuous pushes from the inside and horrid pressure from the outside keyed a 45-16 rout by the Mountaineers at Georgia State on Saturday at Atlanta’s Center Parc Stadium. It was the Sun Belt Conference opener for both teams as Appalachian State improved its overall-record to 5-1 and kept its perfect record against the Panthers intact. The Mountaineers are 8-0 all-time versus Georgia State.
Appalachian State’s defense recorded four sacks, 10 tackles for loss, intercepted two passes and held Georgia State to only three of 15 third-down conversions.
Twenty-four Mountaineer defenders made tackles.
