BOONE, N.C. — A record-breaking day for senior quarterback Taylor Lamb helped first-place Appalachian State remain unbeaten in Sun Belt Conference play.
Lamb threw for a career-high 427 yards and became the school's leader in career touchdown passes as the Mountaineers overcame a halftime deficit to win 37-29 against Coastal Carolina before a crowd of 30,179 at Kidd Brewer Stadium on Saturday.
App State (5-2, 4-0) returns to action next weekend at UMass and resumes its league schedule at ULM on Nov. 4.
With two long touchdown passes to Jalen Virgil increasing his career total to 76, Lamb broke a first-place tie with Armanti Edwards, who had 74 from 2006-09.
