RALEIGH, N.C. — App State nearly completed a dramatic comeback Saturday night before falling 41-31 to NC State at a sold-out Carter-Finley Stadium.

The Mountaineers trailed 21-0 and entered the fourth quarter down 31-17, but two takeaways helped App State score back-to-back touchdowns in a span of 107 seconds to tie the game. NC State answered with a 75-yard touchdown drive to regain the lead with 5:08 remaining and later added a field goal.

App State fell to 3-1 with the loss, its final nonconference game of the regular season.
