With ESPN’s College GameDay in town, App State defeated Troy 32-28 Saturday thanks to a hail mary touchdown pass on the final play of the game.
“I’m thankful for a win and proud of our players for playing 60 minutes of football. I think that’s what this program is built upon is never giving up,” head coach Shawn Clark said. “I think God’s a Mountaineer today.”
For the first time in App State history, ESPN’s College GameDay came to Boone Saturday morning ahead of the matchup. Thousands of fans gathered on Sanford Mall to watch the show, which featured celebrity guest picker and former App State student Luke Combs.
