On a beautiful Saturday afternoon at Kidd Brewer Stadium, the Appalachian State Mountaineers defeated the Georgia State Panthers in a defensive battle by a score of 17-3. App State has now outscored the Panthers 98-6 in the three team matchups that began in 2014.
The Mountaineers (3-2, 1-0 Sun Belt) started the game off strong as junior linebacker Eric Boggs picked off a pass from Panthers (0-4, 0-1 Sun Belt) quarterback Conner Manning on the first drive of the game. The trend of good defense continued for the remainder of the first half, as both teams struggled to travel past mid-field.
