In the season’s final game, App State lost to rival Georgia Southern on Nov. 26 after reaching double overtime and ending with a score of 51-48.
“Gut-wrenching loss, gut-wrenching,” head coach Shawn Clark said.
With the loss, App State falls to 6-6 to finish the year and won’t qualify for bowl eligibility for the first time since entering the FBS in 2015.
“We have to do a total assessment of our program and see who we really are,” Clark said.
The Eagles received the opening kickoff but only had the ball for three plays as Eagles quarterback Kyle Vantrease fumbled the ball and third-year sophomore defensive lineman DeAndre Dingle-Prince recovered the loose ball.
