Unranked Appalachian State upset AP No. 18 James Madison 26–23 in overtime on Saturday afternoon thanks to a thrilling game-winning play.
The Dukes trailed most of regulation, and appeared to be down to their final possession of the game. Trailing 20–12, James Madison converted on a miraculous fourth-and-18 play to keep the game alive with 1:22 to go.
On the very next play, Dukes quarterback Jordan McCloud connected with Elijah Sarratt for an 11-yard touchdown with 57 seconds to play to draw James Madison within two. On the ensuing play, McCloud went right back to Sarratt on the two-point conversion to tie the game at 20.
