The Mountaineers claimed their sixth consecutive bowl championship on Monday with a 56-28 blowout of North Texas in the inaugural Myrtle Beach Bowl.
“You play the game to win championships,” App State head coach Shawn Clark said. “A lot of weight off our shoulders to win our sixth bowl game in a row, and that’s something we take a lot of pride in in Boone and our program.”
The game was the first bowl of the season and aired on ESPN from Brooks Stadium on Coastal Carolina’s campus in Conway, South Carolina.
Sophomore running back Camerun Peoples stole the show and led the way for the Mountaineers with a record-setting 319 yards and five touchdowns on 23 rushes.
