In the fourth quarter, Furman kicked a field goal to give them a 9–7 lead. Appalachian State responded with a 24-yard touchdown pass to give the Mountaineers a 14–9 lead with 5:39 left in the game. Then Furman quarterback Billy Napier led the Paladins with a 73-yard drive capped off with a go-ahead touchdown to go up 15–14 with 7 seconds left.
Up by one point, Furman elected to go for two-points. On the attempt, Appalachian State defensive end Josh Jefferies intercepted the ball where he proceeded to run the ball to the 16-yard line before lateraling the football to cornerback Derrick Black. Black ran the ball back to the other endzone resulting in two points for the Mountaineers and giving Appalachian State a 16–15 lead.[3][4] The ensuing Furman onside kick was recovered by Appalachian State and the Mountaineers won 16–15.
