CONWAY, S.C. — Facing a double-digit digit halftime deficit on the road, App State used a dominant, all-around effort after the break to establish its own double-figure advantage before closing out a 35-32 win at Coastal Carolina on Friday night, Oct. 16. Slicing through big holes created by the offensive line, Jaquari Lewis became the third App State back to score four rushing touchdowns in a game during the program’s FBS era, gaining 85 yards on 13 carries as the Mountaineers (4-2, 1-1 Sun Belt) rushed for 253 yards as a team. A key interception in App State territory from safety Devin Henderson helped set up the go-ahead drive that ended with Lewis’ fourth score of the night. “It was just our players’ commitment to understanding what we needed to do to execute the game plan, and those guys up front — tight ends and wideouts — and Henry went out and did a great job and got the run game going for us,” head Coach Dowell Loggains said on the run game.
