Cowboys win thriller, 40-35

Josh Lewis kicked an 18-yard field goal to break a tie with 4 seconds left, and Appalachian State’s multi-lateral kickoff return ended in a safety as McNeese State defeated the Mountaineers 40-35 in Boone, N.C.
The second half lived up to my expectations. McNeese’s staff made some gutsy calls and didn’t let itself become too conservative in a big game on the road. The players make the plays, but give the coaching staff a lot of credit for this victory.
Lewis missed a PAT that looked like it could prove costly, but the Cowboys rallied from their only deficit of the afternoon, 28-27, to stun the Mountaineers at their renovated home facility.

Great game. Did you watch it?
