Less than 2,000 seats were empty inside Beaver Stadium in Pennsylvania when the App State football team marched in to have a meeting with Big Ten opponent, the Penn State Nittany Lions.
While the Mountaineers kept things close, they weren’t able to pull out the victory, taking a 45-38 overtime loss. This is the second time in three years that App State has fallen in overtime in their season opener against a top ten opponent.
“It’s tough for us. This team has been there, (we were at) Tennessee two years ago, took them to overtime, lost in overtime again, a very similar type situation.
