Appalachian State offense exploded by scoring the last 42 points versus homestanding Troy University and the Mountaineers defense held the Trojans scoreless the last 51-plus minutes of the game enroute to a 45-7 Sun Belt Conference romp Saturday afternoon at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Troy, Alabama.
18,523 fans attended the game.
With the victory, the Mountaineers clinched the Sun Belt East Division title outright and a spot in the December 4 league championship game at West Division champion Louisiana-Lafayette.
Appalachian State (9-2 over-all, 6-1 conference) proved to have far too much offense for Troy’s defense, while the Trojans offense was in no way a competitive match for Appalachian State’s defense in this game.
