One possession prior, Tarell Basham sacked Wezensky on third-and-17, but officials called Brown for targeting as he came in low with his helme...

Matics, who had missed only once during the regular season, twice missed field goals in the first half that could have added to the Mountaineers’ early 7-0 lead, but he came through when it mattered most. So too did Appalachian State’s offense after the Bobcats took control, leading 24...

DeKALB, Ill. – Ohio did what no one else has been able to do for 22 games: beat Northern Illinois in November.
