App State defeated South Alabama 31-7 on Heroes Day Saturday behind a dominant defensive performance by the Mountaineers.
“I can’t say enough good things about our defense,” head coach Shawn Clark said. “That’s what great teams do. When one side’s not playing well, the other side picks it up.”
After a quick three-and-out and fumble on their first two drives, the Mountaineers scored the first two touchdowns of the game. Graduate transfer quarterback Chase Brice found super senior receiver Jalen Virgil twice for a combined 57 yards, setting up the Black and Gold in the red zone.
