When Sportingnews.com released their 2017 bowl predictions, they picked Toledo to be victorious 41-34. According to Sportingnews.com, “Toledo quarterback Logan Woodside leads the Rockets to revenge in this one.” They could not have been more wrong.
The Mountaineers (9-4, 7-1 Sun Belt) started out the game incredibly strong, allowing only 40 offensive yards from Toledo (11-3, 8-1 Mid-American Conference) and picking up 107 of their own. Running back Jalin Moore rushed for one of his three touchdowns on the day, and App State went up 7-0; they never looked back.
“I’m just extremely proud of our players and our staff for what they’ve been able to accomplish this season,” head coach Scott Satterfield said.
