BOONE, N.C. – Appalachian State scored the go-ahead touchdown with five minutes left as Georgia State fell 17-13 Saturday at Kidd Brewer Stadium, overshadowing an outstanding performance by the GSU defense.
The Georgia State (3-4, 2-4 Sun Belt) defense kept the Mountaineers (6-1, 4-0 Sun Belt) bottled up for much of the day until Camerun Peoples' 10-yard run gave App State its first lead with 4:55 to play. App State managed a season-low 310 total yards, but 77 of them came on the winning drive.
"When you come up here and play a team like Appalachian State, you have to execute in all three phases," head coach Shawn Elliott, who played and coached at App State, said.
