Last week, they traveled to Texas A&M, who were ranked No. 6 in the country, and pulled off a stunning upset (giving Michigan fans some horrible flashbacks of 2007).
Naturally, they had to give last week's win a challenge - and that they did.

{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Down 28-26 with two seconds left, all Appalachian State had was a Hail Mary opportunity from their own 47-yard line.
Well, Chase Brice launched one down field that was deflected, but found the hands of Christian Horn. Horn evaded a pile and ran to the right pylon, crossing the goal line and giving the Mountaineers a 32-28 victory.
Troy had the ball up four points with 25 seconds left, but on 4th and 1 from their own 11, they elected to run the clock down and take a safety.
