GREENVILLE, N.C. (AP) --- Malachi Singleton passed for 267 yards and had one of
three Appalachian State rushing touchdowns as the Mountaineers beat East
Carolina 27-24 on Saturday for their fourth straight win in the series.
App State forced two turnovers, including an ECU fumble in the red zone that
led to Singleton's 4-yard touchdown for a 10-7 lead early in the second
quarter. Jaquari Lewis added a 10-yard touchdown run on App State's next
possession --- following an 83-yard drive --- for a 10-point lead.
Dre Walker made an interception at the App State 9-yard line with 2:16 left in
the fourth quarter, but the Mountaineers went three-and-out, and ECU drove 60
yards for a touchdown with 21 seconds left.
App State secured the onside kick attempt to seal the win.
Lewis finished with 73 yards rushing and a touchdown for App State (2-0), which
rolled to a 55-3 victory over FCS-program Maine in its opener. Sam Pickett III
caught four passes for 86 yards.
Mitch Griffis was 21-of-37 passing for 230 yards with two touchdowns and an
interception for ECU (0-2). Ashton Gray rushed for 99 yards on 16 carries.
Jason Dickerson's only catch went for a 61-yard touchdown.
