Why do Top 25 teams keep scheduling Appalachian State?

Nearly 15 years removed from the mother of all upsets, knocking off No. 5 Michigan, Appalachian State did it again on Saturday. This time, the victim was No. 6 Texas A&M.

After a massive 17-14 win over the Aggies on Saturday, App State fans took to Boone, North Carolina streets, to celebrate.

Appalachian State's defense carried them to the win on Saturday, holding Texas A&M to just 186 yards of total offense.

After a scoreless first quarter, the Mountaineers and Aggies traded touchdowns in the second, going into the halftime break knotted up at 7-7.

The two sides traded scores again in the third quarter and headed into the final stanza, still tied at 14-14. With just over eight minutes to go, App State kicker Michael Hughes nailed a 29-yard field goal, which proved to be the game-winner.
