The person nobody is going to talk about, but made the game winning move is that receiver #2. He was aware enough to mark the guy who could have made the winning tackle, and block him into the lane for everyone else
#43 riding the bouncy ball at 2:23 is the 2nd best part of the video. Such poise. Such execution in the clutch...I mean his upper body doesn't even move...well done young man.
Both my parents went to App. I used to run around on that field all the time when I was a kid. It was a small, regional school back then, to see what they've built there is incredible.
yesterday there was a report by ESPN that 30 thousand fans were expected (for gameday)... if they beat the Mizzou record for gameday crowds (18k in 2010 vs Oklahoma) and won the game like this, this is a day to remember forever for them. Man, I watched the show and even saw a flag from my country (Brazil) in the stand that had the Old Dominion Freight Line ad
Of course it happened when college game day came to town. It’s all apart of the script brother, open yours eyes a little wider. They playing w ur mind homie.
Oregon was more embarrassing than Appy St. They were in year two of a three peat. I can recognize good football regardless of level or conference. Appy St. would have beaten a lot of D1 teams.
Enjoy every snap like it’s your last! You’ll have these memories for a lifetime. You’ll look back in old age and it will be the best time of your life!
Although it didn't matter in the end, the decision to take the safety and do a free punt was terrible; a field goal would have won it for App State. Imagine how Troy's coach would have been lambasted had it played out that way.
Disagree...if the kick hadn't been garbage you would've had better field position when appy wasn't moving the ball consistently. Ran off clock and prevented a possible block a la michigan/Mich st
@@michaelvincent7115 the garbage kick doesn’t justify the even worse strategy of giving free points that lead the same result as a normal punt. You said it, App can’t move the ball consistently so a few yards are negligible and the pressure would have been much higher
@@barryallen871 D-1AA became FCS. D-2 is still D-2. So, yeah, there's a significant difference. It's the difference between the EFL Championship and League One.
I am all the way in Wisconsin and just saw this on ESPN and although I am well beyond my college years I am so thankful and an unvaxed person we are learning to live with COVID and young people can create memories out from behind the computer screen. Congrats to Appalachian. Great win!!! Go Badgers!!!
@@grossepointemichigan This isn't true, if you take 2 seconds to rub a couple brain cells together. They would have gotten the ball in even better field position and with more time on the clock if they punted from their own endzone, plus the potential for a block or a big return. The only way the coach would have outsmarted himself is if they managed to kick a field goal, since this put them up 2 instead of 4. Just as a reminder, a touchdown is worth 6....
@@elijahfoster2 if you took enough time to rub 2 brain cells together you’d know that you’d much rather take a chance at a team beating you with a touchdown rather than a field goal… they would’ve been at minimum 40 yards if they got the punt off to get the TD & only had to manage 15 to make the game winning FG… In short, giving the other team points to afford field position is seldom ever a good idea, & it definitely wasn’t in this case…
I bought a tervis App State tumbler before the season at some store on clearance. After last week against A&M and this week I now find myself becoming a huge fan of this team. Grit, determination and never say die attitude is exactly what this country needs to see. They might just be the team that brings us all together again.
Kyle Murray. Yea, much better than having this announcer spill out "oh my god, oh my god" when god doesn't give a crap about a football game. Geez. Only in evangelical America you hear such stupidity.
Miracle on the Mountain 2!!! PSC Highlights can put this one right next to their video titled "the craziest college football ending that nobody talks about" (Miracle on the Mountain 1). Thanks PSC for covering both of these INSANE endings! Keep up the good work! And GO APP!
"Let's squib the free kick because 8 seconds are worth a lot more than 40 yards..." Also, taking the intentional safety rather than punting to let App State get with a field goal is also questionable as hell.
The safety was a bit strange, the squib kick was even stranger, but neither of those calls are close to the boneheaded call Hackett made. Both the safety and squib kick are very defensible calls.
@@LITMOVIESCENES It certainly defensible. A punt from the endzone is far riskier than kicking off from the 30. The mistake is that they didn't kick it deep on the following kick. Even so, Troy kept App State from getting into field goal range, forcing the Hail Mary.
This kind of thing makes me LOVE college football! I can't get enough of the Hail Mary's with the college kids running crazy on the field to celebrate. Feel bad for the Troy team because they nearly had it won. But the college football atmosphere at some of these smaller schools is truly enjoyable to witness. App State is carving out a solid reputation as a tough opponent and a good football program. Somewhere, Dino Hackett is celebrating this big win with his buddies. Well done Appalachian State!
That gave me "The Chills". 😲 The QB Brice and the WR Christian Horn, just became Campus Legends. They will remember this day forever. Great job Kid. Great job.
Why? ... I really didn't make any difference in the outcome of the game. If they had punted the ball, App State would have still, most likely, have won. They just would have more time to do it.
@@shawnhill4779 yes and no. Knowing the outcome doesn't justify the call at the time. They had a 4 point lead that required App State to get a touchdown. they brought that to a 2 pt lead with the safety, and then gave app state great field position to win on a field goal with the squib kick. Forcing App State to score a td from around midfield would have been preferable to giving them the option of kicking a field goal. So yeah, App State got the hail mary anyways so it didn't end up mattering in hindsight. But Giving them the ball at that place on the field with only a 2 pt lead gave App St. more ways to win, so at the time it was a poor choice
Wild start to the season for App State. Combines for 120+ against NC. Beats a top 10 team in their house. Then this miraculous play. Side note, didn't this happen like 7 years ago in some Big 10 game?
My family was at that game and I was poised to leave the stands and my son kept me and my wife from leaving saying you can never count APP state out until it’s really over. I’m glad I stayed to watch that play. It is a memory I’ll cherish forever.
As a Michigan fan and alumnus who remembers the past quite well, I pull for Appalachian State when they play. This one is one of the better game endings, for sure.
I'm not even much of a football fan, but… that was amazing. I always say that even though I am not a fan, I can watch and enjoy any football game in the last five minutes or so, if the score is close. This video shows why.
I’ve watched this team ever since they beat Michigan in 2007. As a Buckeye/Bearcats fan, I secretly have found myself rooting for them whenever I see them on TV each and every year, even when they were still considered and FCS team…. I have loved everything that this program has grown into over the years!
E , same for me..I'd been to the town and its such a great small town, old town but the App.state stuff is state of the art, its like Blacksburg Va where Va Tech hails from in the 70s...great party town, and then they beat Michigan ...always look for their score
The 2007 win over Michigan wasn't as big an upset as most people think. Sure, at the time App State was a D-IAA (now FCS) school; but they were two-time defending D-IAA National Champions and would win again in 2007.
@@tygrkhat4087 even though they may have won their respective titles, the game against Michigan is what got App State their national recognition, and put that small school on the map officially. Anyone before that game who looked at that matchup, assumed a blowout in Michigans favor, and for that time, it was the biggest upset seen for quite sometime, because Michigan to start the season was in the Top 3 of the PreSeason BCS Standings. That game immediately knocked Michigan out the standings and that was their first year. It may not be really big thought the program, but there is no denying how much that game vaulted their name, small school and all.
Was listening to the radio call since I'm currently away from home. App states announcers went absolutely ballistic. What college football is all about. Miracle on the Mountain Part II is what the announcer coined it
Props to App St... 2 weeks in a row you guys have made the headlines. Y'all got it going on up there in Boone. I still remember talking to the App St faithful when you played Ohio in the Camellia Bowl in Montgomery.(which App St won twice 2015 & 2016) You guys are some of the classiest fans I've ever met. Look forward to seeing you play here again someday.
As a Western Carolina fan (and future student) I have to give App State some credit. That was honestly one of the best Hail Marys I have ever seen. That happened on the same day I saw my Cats trample Presbyterian 77-21. The Old Mountain Jug teams had happy fans that day. Go Cats baby!!
The best part that gives me chills of the Hail Mary. #2 receiver saw what happened and went straight to blocking. That’s the beauty to me of that whole sequence.
Choosing to take a safety to make it a 2 point game, then squibbing the kickoff allowing the other team a decent shot at a gw field goal, and THEN giving up a 55+ yard hail mary on 4th down.....maybe some of the worst coaching ive ever seen in my entire life.
App State fan here. Thanks for the kind words. Troy played one heck of a game and actually deserved the win. They took advantage of the same things UNC did two weeks ago. Unfortunately for Troy, the football God's just had a different agenda today. I'll be pulling for you guys as well. Who knows, maybe we can have round 2 in the SBC Championship game...
Was lookin' for ya. I can only offer my condolences, for both the funeral & the game. At least y'all kept it close 'til the end, unlike my shit show of a program.
#2, you the real MVP. Snap turn into a perfect block. Guaranteed at least half of the guys in the NFL would draw a holding penalty if they were in the same situation lol
Interesting seeing this at the end of the season. App State ends up going 6-6 and don't even go to a bowl game, despite this incredible victory as well as their thumping of then-#6 Texas A&M. Meanwhile, Troy only went Undefeated after this game, including a Bowl win over UTSA. College Football rules!
2:08 What a great play by #2 on App Sate on the last play blocking after the tip was caught, he might have been able to tackle him short if he didn't pick up that block
![Felix "Unfair" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Oswujxm2Ag0/mqdefault.jpg)

completely agree. he remained aware while the play was alive and made a fundamental block to win the game
No doubt. Deserves the game ball.
Thank you! I was looking for this comment on the ESPN channel. Perfectly executed and amazing awareness
The other player nobody is talking about is App State's #52 on that play. He was holding Troy's #52 and the refs missed it.
There were announcers broadcasting other games congratulating Troy's head coach for the win before the game was over. That's always the kiss of death.

"App State cannot score here." Glad we have these commentators to keep us aware of these key details.
My dad was YELLING ‘GET DOWN’ at the TV and then he was happy when App Clutched, R.I.P. My Ears
App State the main character at this point
The best part that gives me chills of the Hail Mary. #2 receiver saw what happened and went straight to blocking. That’s the beauty to me of that whole sequence.
That's hockey player level awareness!
That is in insane. App State lately damn!!
The pride of Boone NC!!! I used to live there as a kid. Much pride, way to go👍👍🏈🏈👍👍🏈🏈👍👍
This teams chemistry is absolutely insane
That's about as miraculous a play as Franco Harris's Immaculate Reception for the Steelers against the Raiders almost 50 years ago. Crazy!!
2:24 number 43 lmfaoooooooo💀💀💀💀💀
This will still be watched on the internet 100 years from now. Take it that the world still exist
Great coaching at the end by Troy...
App was left with 2 seconds and a prayer. Nothing the coaches could have done better at that point.
Exactly. Only thing they could have done better was to punt the ball after the safety, because the clock would start right at the punt
Well they probably coulda not given up 2 before they punted instead of giving up 2 and then punting
Absolutely amazing!!!
Yep #2 made such a heady block!!
After choosing to go for it on 4th down inside their own 10 with a small lead and less than a minute to play, Troy deserves that.
Choosing to take a safety to make it a 2 point game, then squibbing the kickoff allowing the other team a decent shot at a gw field goal, and THEN giving up a 55+ yard hail mary on 4th down.....maybe some of the worst coaching ive ever seen in my entire life.
aka how to lose a job in 30 seconds
@@SBomb121 i can see maths are not your best
@@SBomb121 and now the other team can kick a field goal instead of being forced to get a touchdown
@@SBomb121 no it’s not, punt with a 4 point lead
Troy fan here, congrats to App State. I can’t help but admire the tenacity. I’ll be pulling for these guys the rest of the season.
App State fan here. Thanks for the kind words. Troy played one heck of a game and actually deserved the win. They took advantage of the same things UNC did two weeks ago. Unfortunately for Troy, the football God's just had a different agenda today. I'll be pulling for you guys as well. Who knows, maybe we can have round 2 in the SBC Championship game...
I AM SO UPSET. I WENT TO A FUNERAL EARLIER TODAY AND THEN THIS HAPPENS. ARE YOU KIDDING ME.
Was lookin' for ya. I can only offer my condolences, for both the funeral & the game. At least y'all kept it close 'til the end, unlike my shit show of a program.
@@notJCS Who do you root for?
@@saintbrownthetrojan Ga. Tech. Just finished getting sodomized by Ole' Miss. At home.
Y'all deserved the win. My son goes there and y'all took it to them. Just a freak thing
@@revpgesqredux Sadly, we did outplay them. But we take it to Marshall next game. Go Trojans.
#2, you the real MVP. Snap turn into a perfect block. Guaranteed at least half of the guys in the NFL would draw a holding penalty if they were in the same situation lol
There is nothing like college football 🏈. Greatest game ever
Interesting seeing this at the end of the season. App State ends up going 6-6 and don't even go to a bowl game, despite this incredible victory as well as their thumping of then-#6 Texas A&M.
Meanwhile, Troy only went Undefeated after this game, including a Bowl win over UTSA.
College Football rules!
God's an App State fan for sure. WOW
4:13 "This will go down as one of the craziest finishes in college football."
*Fast forward to 10/15/22*
Tennessee: "Hold my beer"
Now this is what college football is all about baby,great job!! 🏈🏈🏈
2:08 What a great play by #2 on App Sate on the last play blocking after the tip was caught, he might have been able to tackle him short if he didn't pick up that block
Way to go Appalachian State! They’ve been a blast to watch ever since they upset Michigan years ago! 🏈
That’s the beauty of college football , play to the end and always knock it down
today alone has been INSANE
This season is crazy for every team
"one play from the 46....you'll never make it'
.....Hold My Beer
Great game! ESPN, please provide game feeds with no commentary.
WR# 2 made a great key block to get his teammate the winning Touchdown.
CHILLS. this is what college football is all about.
