James Madison vs App State

The Appalachian State Mountaineers edged out the James Madison Dukes 34-31 in a Sun Belt thriller at Kidd Brewer Stadium. With 217 plays of back-and-forth action, this one had everything you want in a conference showdown — big momentum swings, clutch performances, and a finish that came down to the wire. The Mountaineers protected their home turf in Boone, making just enough plays when it mattered most to hold off a resilient Dukes squad. James Madison battled until the final whistle, but Appalachian State found a way to secure the three-point victory in what could be a crucial Sun Belt win down the stretch.
