Troy came within one play of a big Sun Belt Conference win on the road, but the host Appalachian State Mountaineers scored on a last-gasp Hail Mary pass to rally
On fourth down at its own 47 with two seconds left, App State quarterback Chase Brice threw a long, high pass downfield. It was tipped into the air at the 5-yard line and receiver Christian Horn caught the deflection on the run and went into the end zone for a game-ending winning touchdown, setting off a wild Mountaineer celebration.
Troy intentionally squibbed kicked the ensuing free kick and App State returned it its 47 with 15 seconds left. After three incompletions, Brice completed the game-ending play to Horn. The Mountaineers, though, surged in the third quarter, scoring twice to go up 24-21. Daetrich Harrington scored on a 19-yard run early in period and Michael Hughes hit a 23-yard field goal with 29 seconds left in the third quarter.
