CONWAY, S.C. – Reese White scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 3-yard run with 2:24 to play, and No. 15 Coastal Carolina continued its perfect 8-0 start with its first-ever win over Appalachian State, 34-23 on Saturday.
The Chants (6-0 Sun Belt Conference) had lost all six previous games to the four-time defending Sun Belt champion Mountaineers.
But they held Appalachian State to just two field goals in the second half after falling behind 17-9 at halftime. The Mountaineers ( 6-2, 4-1) tried to rally after White's score.
