The Appalachian State Mountaineers (5-2, 4-0 Sun Belt) were able to win a Sun Belt matchup against Coastal Carolina (1-6, 0-4) 37-29, giving everyone a reason to continue the celebration on family weekend in the High Country.
Mountaineers’ senior quarterback Taylor Lamb opened the game picking apart the Coastal Carolina defense, leading to an opening drive touchdown from junior running back Jalin Moore.
Moore would eventually leave the game due to injuries in the first quarter, leaving only freshman running backs on the depth chart. Freshman running back Marcus Williams Jr. did not lose this opportunity as he scored two touchdowns and ran for 72 yards.
