After defeating Idaho last weekend, the Appalachian State Mountaineers (5-2, 4-0) took on Coastal Carolina (1-6, 0-4) at The Rock on family weekend with a sold-out crowd. App State faced a mirror of themselves from a few years ago in Coastal Carolina, as they just moved from the FCS level to the FBS level looking for a big statement win in their first season.
App State scored quickly on their first two drives including a big 83-yard touchdown by freshman wide receiver Jalen Virgil and a 9-yard punch in by junior running back Jalin Moore, who would later leave the game with an injury.
