North Carolina: 63, Appalachian State: 61.
Yes, this was a football match. College football, a regular sport.
It seems North Carolina is so dominating the football game that so many Appalachian fans He left the field at the end of the third quarter. At the time, Tar Heels led 41–21 in a game that the Mountaineers fans buzzed about for some time.
It was a disappointing third-quarter showing for the App State, with UNC scoring all 13 points for a three-point lead.
It’s over… until it’s over.
The Appalachian State became the first team in 15 years to score 40 points in the fourth quarter. The Mountaineers outplayed Tar Heels, 40-22, and had a two-point conversion opportunity with less than a minute to play which would have given them the lead at 57-56, but quarterback Chase Price missed a wide open opportunity to break out of the backfield that all He eliminated the Mountaineers’ chances.
So it didn’t.
It really looked like the game was over when North Carolina’s Bryson Nesbitt returned for the ensuing 43-yard side kick for a touchdown with 28 seconds to play. The Tar Heels led 63-55, and looked insurmountable.
So it wasn’t.
Bryce and the app. The state offense used multiple cut plays to walk right up the field and score a touchdown with nine seconds left to pull through two. Suddenly, the Mountaineers were just a two-point diversion away from sending the game into overtime.
However, Price was jammed at the goal line on the QB option and Carolina stuck.
North Carolina finished with 567 foul yards, while Appalachian State ran its own 664 yards. According to Adam Rittenberg of ESPN, the 62-point total in the fourth quarter was one point shy of the FBS record. The 124 points total also beat the interschool basketball game last season, with 120 total points scored.
Here’s a rundown of social media’s greatest reactions to the wildest college football game of the season so far.
