Appalachian State has arguably been the story of the early 2022 college football season, as has the Sun Belt in general. Old Dominion upset Virginia Tech in Week 1 (and nearly did the same to Virginia in Week 3), and the Mountaineers and Marshall knocked off No. 6 Texas A&M and No. 8 Notre Dame, respectively, in Week 2.
Week 3’s App State game against Troy had all the makings of an emotional let down at home, even after hosting ESPN’s College GameDay (and bringing hilarious signs).
Facing 4th-and-10 from its own 47-yard line and trailing Troy 28-24, App State QB Chase Brice stepped into a deep pass on the Hail Mary attempt. After some bobbling in the scrum, Christian Horn found himself in possession of the ball and scampered into the end zone for the improbable win.
