CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) — Quarterback DeAndre Presley scooped up a fumble by Matt Cline after completing a pass to him and ran it in from 33 yards out, capping a 28-point Appalachian State fourth quarter in a 42-41 victory over Chattanooga on Saturday.
Chattanooga got within a point on a 3-yard run by quarterback B.J. Coleman with 51 seconds left. The Mocs tried for a 2-point conversion, but Coleman’s pass was incomplete and Appalachian State recovered an onside kickoff.
Presley completed 22 of 29 passes for 340 yards and two touchdowns for the Mountaineers. Coleman was 23-for-37, also for 340 yards, and threw for three touchdowns for the Mocs.
Trailing 35-14 one play into the fourth quarter, the Mountaineers scored three touchdowns in a 3:53 span, getting the ball back one time on a fumbled kickoff return and again when Coleman fumbled after a sack.
