ORLANDO, Fla. — Joey Aguilar took a final rain-soaked snap, went down to one knee and then sprinted toward the puddles near midfield of FBC Mortgage Stadium.
Yardage was hard to come by for both offenses during an Avocados from Mexico Cure Bowl played in a torrential downpour, but Aguilar and his teammates covered plenty of ground with their open-field runs that preceded a slip-and-slide celebration on UCF's natural grass Saturday night.
With Aguilar passing for a hard-to-fathom 211 yards and scoring App State's only touchdown on a 9-yard keeper in the third quarter, the Mountaineers won 13-9 over MAC champion Miami (Ohio) to close a 9-5 season.
