UNC vs Appalachian State football games have become absolute rock fights of late, and tonight’s home opener in Kenan Stadium was no exception. Both teams went back and forth after a scoreless first quarter, and the Mountaineers tied the game with a field goal with just 1:22 left on the clock. With UNC needing just a field goal to win and Drake Maye as the quarterback, maybe you were feeling confident at this point.
Welp.
The good news is that UNC did march down the field, thanks to Maye and Omarion Hampton. They got comfortably into field goal range, ran the clock down, and sent out Ryan Coe for the 39-yard game-winner.
