Nine years ago to the day that App State beat Michigan in one of the biggest college football upsets of all time, the Mountaineers fell just short of capping off another thrilling upset falling in overtime 20-13 to #9 ranked Tennessee.
Leading 13-3 at the half, the Mountaineers (0-1) were unable to capitalize on the Vols second half fumbles mishaps which ultimately led to a Tennessee comeback and preventing another all-time upset.
In front of an electrifying 100,074 fans at Neyland Stadium, it looked, as it would be a long night for the Mountaineers after receiving a costly personal foul by senior offensive lineman Parker Collins for a loss of 11 yards.
