The final score was 17-14 as Appalachian State added another huge upset victory to their program’s illustrious history in that department.
At Kyle Field in College Station in front of a crowd of nearly 93,000, the Mountaineers took down a Texas A&M team ranked #6 in the AP Poll and the AFCA coaches poll. The Aggies were favored by 16.5 points heading into what some thought would be an easy win for Jimbo Fisher’s team. Instead, the Aggies were outplayed in every phase by a hungry Mountaineer team.
On the offensive side of the ball, Appalachian State picked up 22 first downs compared to nine by the Aggies’ offense.
