What it has lacked in back-and-forth wins, it often has made up for in drama.
Especially the past few meetings.
Saturday’s 34-17 Appalachian State win didn’t reflect the closeness of the game, which was tied at 10 heading into the final quarter.
Take last season, when UTC’s defense shut out ASU’s offense – something no Football Championship Subdivision team had done to the Mountaineers since 1998. Still, App State managed a 14-12 win, stopping a two-point attempt by UTC with 9:51 to play.
That scoreless streak extended into the second quarter Saturday.
