App State defeats UNC in historic 34-31 win

Senior linebacker Jordan Fehr and and redshirt freshman outside linebacker Nick Hampton jump to block a field goal on the final play of the game to seal the 34-31 victory for the Mountaineers.

App State players, fans and coaches have had Sept. 21, 2019 circled on the calendar since the three-game series with UNC was announced in 2017.

Game day finally arrived and the Mountaineers did not let the moment slip away as they knocked off the Tar Heels 34-31 at Kenan Memorial Stadium for its first 3-0 start to the season since 2010 and first win over a Power Five team since 2007

“It wasn’t going to be an upset,” head coach Eliah Drinkwitz said.
