The 2022 Appalachian State Mountaineers football team represented Appalachian State University during the 2022 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Mountaineers were led by third-year head coach Shawn Clark. Appalachian State played their home games at Kidd Brewer Stadium on the school's Boone, North Carolina, campus, and competed as a member of the East Division of the Sun Belt Conference.

The Mountaineers finished the season 6–6, going 3–5 in Sun Belt play to finish in a three-way tie for fourth place in the conference's East Division. Despite finishing the season with 6 wins, the Mountaineers were not bowl eligible as two of their wins came against FCS opponents.

College GameDay traveled to Boone, North Carolina for the first time. ^[6]

The two teams went back and forth for most of the game, with the largest lead being only 7 points. The Trojans took a 28–24 lead early in the 4th quarter, a score that would stand for almost ten minutes. On their second-to-last offensive drive, the Mountaineers marched down to the Trojans' 2-yard line, but could not convert on 4th down and turned the ball over on downs. Troy could not pick up a 1st down and decided to go for it on 4th. On 4th down, Trojan quarterback Gunnar Watson intentionally ran out of his own end zone for a safety. On the kickoff, Ahmani Marshall returned the kick to the Mountaineers' 47-yard line with just 0:15 left to play. On the final play of the game, Chase Brice threw a Hail Mary pass that Troy's defense tried to knock down, but Christian Horn caught the deflected pass and ran it in for the game-winning touchdown. ^[7]
