App State Rallies to Top Thundering Herd
BOONE, N.C. — After a timely touchdown from App State's Camerun Peoples late in the first half, a fired-up Shawn Clark pumped his left fist, flexed from a squat position and engaged in a friendly tussle with lineman Cooper Hodges before slapping the right tackle on the helmet.
You think that score and this game meant something to the Mountaineers' head coach, a passionate App State alum.
Chandler Staton hit a go-ahead field goal from 45 yards out with 5:45 left, and the defense made a key stand before Nate Noel's open-field running clinched a 31-30 victory over longtime rival Marshall on Thursday night in front of 28,377 fans at a rocking Kidd Brewer Stadium.
