App State football | App State stuns Troy on miracle last
App State was the top scene in college football this Saturday after upsetting Texas A&M last week and hosting ESPN's College GameDay.
And it looked like Troy was going to upset the festivities with a win in Boone. That is, until the Mountaineers came through with a miracle in the waning seconds.
App State quarterback Chase Brice connected with Christian Horn on a tipped 53-yard pass on the final play of the game to hand the Mountaineers a surprise 32-28 win over Troy.
Brice stepped up in the pocket, moved left, and launched the pass as far as he could.
Horn brought it down on a tip at the 6-yard line and ran to the right pylon away from the tacklers, sending the home crowd into a fit.
The crowd stormed the field after the game-winning play to cap off a fun day of football for the home team and what should be an even more fun night.
Troy coach Jon Sumrall then ordered a squib kick that was brought back 13 yards to the App State 47-yard line.
