Rapid Reaction: App State vs. #15 Georgia

On Saturday night, the Appalachian State (0-1) football team traveled to Athens, Georgia to face off with No. 15 Georgia Bulldogs (1-0) in their 2017 season opener. It was their second straight season opening up against a ranked SEC opponent on the road.

The Mountaineers could not catch a break, taking a loss 31-10. After getting off to a good start holding Georgia to two straight three-and-outs on defense, senior quarterback Taylor Lamb broke out for a 32-yard gain. Lamb promptly fumbled the ball on the next play and it was all downhill for App State from there.
