CONWAY, S.C. — A flag for a penalty well behind the play wiped out Marcus Williams Jr.'s 79-yard touchdown run in the third quarter of App State's bowl matchup with North Texas.
No worries. Camerun Peoples rushed for a 76-yard gain on the very next snap, setting up his fourth of five touchdown runs during a 56-28 victory for the Mountaineers in the inaugural Myrtle Beach Bowl.
App State capped a 9-3 season under first-year head coach Shawn Clark and improved its all-time bowl record to 6-0, with each of those wins coming in the program's six postseason-eligible FBS seasons, as Peoples set a school and NCAA bowl record with 319 rushing yards on 23 attempts.
