Entering Saturday’s game against Sun Belt opponent Texas State, the Mountaineers football team had only given up 32 points in their previous four contests combined, and the narrative of an impressive App State defense held true once again.
Allowing only 10 points on the afternoon, the Mountaineers (7-2, 5-0 Sun Belt) locked down Texas State (2-6, 0-4 Sun Belt), holding them to only three yards per play leading to a 35-10 win.
Starting off the game strong, the Bobcats capped off a 13-play drive with a 25-yard field goal to take an early 3-0 lead. After the score, they were forced to four straight three-and-outs, allowing the Mountaineers to jump out to a 21-3 lead and not look back.
