Appalachian State Mountaineers Game Notes
Joey Aguilar completed 28 of 46 passes for 318 yards, three touchdowns and one interception during Saturday’s 26-23 overtime victory versus James Madison. Aguilar topped 300 yards for the fourth time this season and notched at least three touchdown passes for a fourth straight contest. His efforts were especially impressive considering James Madison entered the game undefeated and owns an extremely stout defense. After 11 appearances, Aguilar has the third most passing yards in the Sun Belt while ranking first in passing touchdowns.
Troy Trojans Game Notes
Gunnar Watson completed 21 of 34 passes for 289 yards, two touchdowns and one interception during Saturday’s 35-17 win versus Southern Miss. Watson fell just shy of his first 300-yard outing since Week 9, and he snapped a six-game streak without an interception. He’ll finish the regular season with the fifth most passing yards in the Sun Belt (3,147) and the third most touchdowns (26). He’ll lead the Trojans into the Sun Belt Championship game against Appalachian State on Dec. 2 at home.
