Joey Aguilar throws for 299 yards and 3 TDs, and App State beats Georgia State to snap a 3-game skid
Appalachian State (3-4, 1/3 Sun Belt Conference) has won 11 straight games against Georgia State (2-5, 0-4). The Panthers are now 0-6 in Boone.
Georgia State took a 26-25 lead on a 39-yard field goal by Liam Rickman with 6:39 remaining. Georgia State safety Jeremiah Johnson made an easy interception two plays later, but his teammate was called for pass interference to give App State a first down at its 44-yard line.
App State marched down the field and Aguilar found TE Kanen Hamlett out of the backfield for a 3-yard touchdown with 1:51 left. It was the second career catch for the sophomore Hamlett. Then Aguilar rolled to his right and ran through two tacklers at the goal line for a 2-point conversion for a seven-point lead.
Georgia State returner DJ Murray Jr. bobbled the kickoff and got tripped at the 12-yard line to begin the final drive. On the third play, Santana Hopper sacked Zach Gibson leading to a Georgia State timeout with 1:01 left. Gibson was pressured again on fourth down, and his desperation throw went over the head of Dorian Fleming on the right sideline.
Gibson finished 16 of 22 for 192 yards with a touchdown. Michel Dukes added 81 yards rushing and a score for Georgia State.
