BOONE, N.C. — Dexter Lawson Jr. made a diving interception to keep The Citadel from scoring, and Chase Brice threw an 80-yard touchdown pass to Christan Horn on the very next play.
App State didn't need much time to do its offensive damage Saturday — that touchdown was the Mountaineers' only third-quarter snap — and the defense held the Bulldogs' clock-chewing option offense in check throughout Saturday's home game at Kidd Brewer Stadium.
That combination contributed to a 49-0 shutout for the Mountaineers, who posted a one-sided win to follow an opening month in which all four games were decided by four points or less.
