App State took down Marshall in a narrow 31-30 Thursday night victory in Boone. The Mountaineers avenged one of three losses from the 2020 season where Marshall defeated No. 23 App State 17-7.
“People ask me all the time, ‘Is this a revenge game?’” head coach Shawn Clark said. “It wasn’t a revenge game. It was a reckoning game. A revenge is emotional. A reckoning is something you go out and kind of put to bed. We came out and put all the talk to bed.”
After the Mountaineer defense opened the night forcing a quick three-and-out, quarterback Chase Brice led his offense onto the field and drove 80 yards in nine plays, capped off with a 1-yard rushing score from junior Cam Peoples.
