The Appalachian State Mountaineers football team (3-2, 2-0 Sun Belt) faced off against the New Mexico State Aggies (2-4, 0-2 Sun Belt) and put on a show for the homecoming crowd. After a bye week and a much-needed rest for the team, the Mountaineers looked to use their fresh legs as they dive back into Sun Belt Conference play.
The Aggies put up a bigger fight on defense than the Mountaineers were ready for and set the stage for an exciting second half. Senior quarterback Taylor Lamb struggled early on and was unable to find his groove throughout the game.
