The Mountaineers turned the ball over on downs at their own 27 and Coastal Carolina (4-3, 3-1) added Jevon Edwards' 8-yard TD run to cap its 28-point second half. The Mountaineers' final possession ended on Noah Arinze's fumble recovery after JJ Kohl was sacked.
Collier rushed for a game-high 74 yards and two scores. He passed for 118 yards with an interception. MJ Morris also threw a TD pass.
Kohl was 27 of 41 for 278 yards passing and two touchdowns for the Mountaineers. Barnes' punt-return touchdown was the first for Appalachian State since 2018.
