Fourth-Quarter Rally Falls Short for App State
BOONE, N.C. — App State put together a fourth-quarter rally that fell short, as 20th-ranked Louisiana survived two late safeties and held on for a 24-21 victory Friday night at Kidd Brewer Stadium.
The Mountaineers (7-3, 5-2) cut into a 24-10 deficit on Camerun Peoples' 1-yard touchdown run with 8:07 remaining and benefited from two special teams safeties given up by the Ragin' Cajuns (9-1, 7-1) before driving for a potential game-winning touchdown or game-tying field goal. A 30-yard field goal attempt on a rainy night at The Rock sailed wide left in the closing seconds.
