What happened

ESPN RECAP

Werts leads Georgia Southern past No. 25 App State 34-14

STATESBORO, Ga. -- Appalachian State's time as college football's feel-good story ended after only a few days. "It was cool while it lasted," Mountaineers center Noah Hannon said. Shai Werts rushed for 129 yards, including a 47-yard touchdown run, and Georgia Southern forced five turnovers to upset No. 25 Appalachian State 34-14 on Thursday night to spoil the Mountaineers' first week in the Top 25. Werts threw a 57-yard scoring pass to Darion Anderson early in the second quarter. It was Werts' only completion in three attempts for Georgia Southern (7-1, 4-0 Sun Belt). Wesley Fields had scoring runs of 10 and 18 yards in the Eagles' fifth straight win. Georgia Southern fans stormed the field following the school's first win over a Top 25 team. It was the first time a ranked FBS team played at Georgia Southern.
