Texas A&M vs Appalachian State Game Preview
Why Appalachian State Will Win
Did Appalachian State just score again?
The Mountaineers gave North Carolina a fun time scoring 40 points in the fourth quarter … and losing. It was one of the wildest games in a long, long time in the 63-61 loss, but the offense cranked up 659 yards, everything clicked – especially late – and it wasn’t that crazy for an attack with these running backs.

The deliberate style of A&M will take over the game in the third quarter as QB Haynes King has a sharp performance on third downs and the defense takes care of the rest.
