Appalachian State continued their incredible College Football season with more magic in the mountains in the walk-off win vs. Troy.
With two seconds left on fourth and ten of their own 47, trailing 28-26, Mountaineers quarterback Chase Brice raised a prayer after he rolled to the left.
The ball initially failed to reach the end zone, but receiver Cristian Horn landed a tipped ball at the six-yard line.

Using a block, Horn was able to drive freely into the end zone when App State sent Boone, NC. frenzied for the second time in as many weeks.
Unable to storm the field after their historic win over No. 6-ranked Texas A&M last week, fans more than made up for it on Saturday.
With 25 seconds left in the game, Troy willingly took a safety on the fourth and one from their 11-yard line with 25 seconds left in the game.

That made it a 28-26 ball game before Troy squibbed the ball — which was returned to the App State 47-yard line.
Three unfinishes started the ride before Brice and Horn met for another maniacal moment in the North Carolina mountains.
Appalachian State improved to 2-1 during the season and it’s kind of a shame it’s not 3-0 after losing a shootout to rivals in the state, North Carolina 63-61 on opening weekend.
Comfortably one of the nation’s most-watched teams this season, the Mountaineers have their chance to wind up next Saturday against fellow Sun Belt team, James Madison.
