CHAMPIONS

ONE OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL'S TOP PROGRAMS

In 2007, the eyes of the nation were cast on ASU when Appalachian pulled off one of the greatest triumphs in college football history, a 34-32 victory at No. 5 (AP) Michigan.

Appalachian is one of only two programs to boast recipients of the three major individual awards in NCAA Division I FCS. Dexter Coakley (left) is the only two-time winner of the Buck Buchanan Award (1995, ‘96), presented to the nation’s top FCS defensive player. Armanti Edwards (center) is the only two-time winner of the Walter Payton Award (2008, ‘09), presented to the nation’s top FCS player. Jerry Moore (right) won the Eddie Robinson, presented to the nation’s top FCS coach, in 2006.

After Armanti Edwards became the first two-time winner of the Walter Payton Award in 2008-09, his successor, DeAndre Presley, was a finalist for the prestigious award in 2010.

NCAA DIVISION I NATIONAL CHAMPIONS: 2005, 2006, 2007

Leadership ohn Iamarino was officially named commissioner of the conference on January 2, 2006. Iamarino has promoted the Southern Conference through an ambitious agenda which has improved competition, upgraded compliance-related matters, launched the conference’s Hall of Fame and increased the marketing and brand awareness of the conference and its member institutions. The Southern Conference named its first commissioner in December 1950. Duke head football coach Wallace Wade made the transition from Blue Devil football coach to athletics administration as the first person at the helm of the conference. Lloyd Jordan replaced Wade as the commissioner in 1960 and served a 14-year term until Ken Germann became the league head in 1974. Germann was the commissioner for 13 years and orchestrated the league’s expansion to include women’s athletics. In 1987, he was succeeded by Dave Hart who spearheaded the transfer of the league office from Charlotte, N.C., to Asheville, N.C. Wright Waters succeeded Hart upon his retirement in 1991. Under Waters’ leadership, the Southern Conference expanded to 12 members, added three women’s sports and posted record revenue from the basketball tournament. Waters, who is currently the commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference, was followed by Alfred B. White in 1998. White, a veteran member of the NCAA office, introduced the current conference logo and elevated the conference’s commitment to marketing and development of corporate partners. Danny Morrison headed the conference from 2001-2005 and orchestrated the league’s move from Asheville, N.C., to Spartanburg, S.C. Under Morrison’s leadership, the conference increased its marketing and promotional efforts.

Championship History he first Southern Conference Championship was the league basketball tournament held in Atlanta in 1922. The North Carolina Tar Heels won the tournament to become the first recognized league champion in any sport. The Southern Conference Tournament remains the oldest of its kind in college basketball. Commissioner Germann spearheaded the Southern Conference’s expansion to include women’s athletics during the 1983-84 season. That year, league championships were held in volleyball, basketball and tennis. Cross country joined the mix in 1985 and the league began holding indoor and outdoor track championships in 1988. Most recently, the conference instituted golf and softball championships in the spring of 1994 and added soccer in the fall of 1994. The Germann Cup, named in honor of the former commissioner, annually recognizes the top women’s athletics programs in the conference. From its humble beginnings, women’s athletics have become an integral part of the Southern Conference and its success. The Southern Conference declares champions in 10 men’s sports football, soccer, cross country, basketball, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, wrestling, baseball, tennis and golf - and nine women’s sports - soccer, volleyball, cross country, basketball, indoor track and field, outdoor track & field, tennis, golf and softball.

Membership History n Feb. 25, 1921, representatives from 14 of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association’s (SIAA) 30 members met at Atlanta’s Piedmont Hotel to establish the Southern Intercollegiate Conference. On hand at the inaugural meeting were officials from Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute (Auburn), Clemson, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology (Georgia Tech), Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi A&M (Mississippi State), North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Polytechnic Institute (Virginia Tech) and Washington & Lee. Dr. S.V. Sanford of Georgia was chosen as acting chairman and N.W. Dougherty of Tennessee was named secretary. The decision to form a new athletic conference was motivated by the desire to have a workable number of conference games for each league member. With 30 schools in the SIAA by the early 1920s, it was impossible to play every school at least once during the regular season and many schools went several years between playing some conference members. In addition, in 1920, the SIAA voted down proposed rules that an athlete must be in a college a year before playing on its teams and refused to abolish a rule permitting athletes to play summer baseball for money. Play began in the fall of 1921 and a year later, six more schools joined the fledgling league including Tulane (which had attended the inaugural meeting but had elected not to join), Florida, Louisiana (LSU), Mississippi, South Carolina and Vanderbilt. VMI joined in 1925 and Duke was added in 1929. By the 1930s, membership in the Southern Conference had reached 23 schools. C.P. “Sally” Miles of Virginia Tech, president of the Southern Conference, called the annual league meeting to order on Dec. 9, 1932 at the Farragut Hotel in Knoxville, Tenn. Georgia’s Dr. Sanford announced that 13 institutions west and south of the Appalachian Mountains were reorganizing as the Southeastern Conference. Members of the new league included Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Florida, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Mississippi A&M, University of the South, Tennessee, Tulane and Vanderbilt. According to the minutes of the meeting, Dr. Sanford stated that the division was made along geographical lines. Florida’s Dr. J.J. Tigert, acting as spokesman for the withdrawing group, regretted the move but believed it was necessary as the Southern Conference had grown too large. The resignations were accepted and the withdrawing schools formed the new league which began play in 1932. The Southern Conference continued with membership of 10 institu-

tions including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina, Virginia, VMI, Virginia Tech and Washington & Lee. The second major shift occurred some 20 years later. By 1952, the Southern Conference included 17 colleges and universities. Another split occurred when seven schools including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest departed to form the Atlantic Coast Conference which began play in 1953. The revamped Southern Conference included members The Citadel, Davidson, Furman, George Washington, Richmond, VMI, Virginia Tech, Washington & Lee, West Virginia and William & Mary. Today, the league continues to thrive with a membership that includes 12 institutions and a footprint that spans five states: Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama and Georgia. Current league members are Appalachian State, College of Charleston, The Citadel, Davidson, Elon, Furman, Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro, Samford, Chattanooga, Western Carolina and Wofford.

From establishing the first conference basketball tournament (1921), tackling the issue of freshmen eligibility (1922), developing women’s championships (1984), to becoming the first conference to install the three-point goal in basketball (1980), the Southern Conference has been a pioneer. The Southern Conference is the nation’s fifth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacific 12 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination. Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. Hundreds of Southern Conference student-athletes have been recognized on ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America and all-district teams. A total of 19 Rhodes Scholarship winners have been selected from conference institutions. The conference currently consists of 12 members in five states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Championships. The Southern Conference offices are located in the historic Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. A textile mill that was in operation from 1880 until 1999, Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today offers the league first class meeting areas and offices as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference’s historical documents.

SOUTHERN CONFERENCE

CONTENTS & QUICK FACTS

SOUTHERN CONFERENCE Football he Southern Conference has also excelled as the premier Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) conference. Southern Conference member Appalachian State won three consecutive FCS titles from 2005-07, becoming the first team to do so. The league boasts more than 250 players who have garnered All-America recognition and numerous national player or coach of the year awards. The conference has had at least one team in the Top 10 of the final FCS poll for 25-consecutive years with at least two teams finishing in the Top 20 in every season since 1982. The conference has placed multiple representatives in the FCS Playoffs in 23-of-27 seasons, with 16 Championship Game appearances and eight national titles. The Southern Conference has had at least one team reach the semifinals in 10 of the last 12 years and in 16 of the last 19 seasons. In 2007, Appalachian State became the first FCS team to defeat a nationally-ranked Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) team when the Mountaineers defeated No. 5-ranked Michigan, 34-32, on Sept. 1 before a sellout crowd at Michigan Stadium. Prior to the conference’s reclassification in 1981, Southern Conference football teams appeared in a total of 36 bowl games, posting a record of 16-18-2. From 1925-30, league schools won five football national championships in a six year span. There are nearly 40 former Southern Conference players in the College Football Hall of Fame. One of the most recognizable of these names is former North Carolina running back Charlie “Choo Choo” Justice who helped guide North Carolina to three bowl appearances. He was a first team All-America selection and Heisman Trophy runner-up in 1948 and 1949. In 1949, Justice earned first team all-conference honors for the fourth consecutive season, becoming the first player in league history to achieve that feat. He was a member of the league’s inaugural Hall of Fame Class in 2009. Another of the league’s football products enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame is Sam Huff of West Virginia. Huff was a three-year starter on both the offensive and defensive lines for the Mountaineers. In 1955, Huff earned first team All-America honors on the field and was a first team Academic All-America for his work in the classroom. He played 12 seasons in the National Football League for the New York Giants and the Washington Redskins. A member of the conference’s first Hall of Fame class, he was a five-time All-Pro defensive lineman and is also a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. In recent years, the Southern Conference has continued to produce outstanding student-athletes. In 2009, Appalachian State’s Armanti Edwards became the first two-time winner in the 23-year history of the the Walter Payton Award, which presented annually to the Football Championship Subdivision’s most outstanding offensive player. Other SoCon Payton Award winners include Georgia Southern’s Adrian Peterson (1999), Furman’s Louis Ivory (2000) and GSU’s Jayson Foster (2007). Appalachian State also boasts the only two-time winner of the Buck Buchanan Award, given to Football Championship Subdivision’s top defensive player each year, in Dexter Coakley, who won the first two Buchanan Awards in 1995 and ‘96 before enjoying a Pro Bowl career with the Dallas Cowboys. Terrell Owens went from catching passes at Chattanooga to a stellar NFL career. Western Carolina’s David Patten and Appalachian State’s Matt Stevens were both members of the New England Patriots Super Bowl Champion team in 2002 and Patten also earned Super Bowl rings with the Patriots in 2004 and ’05.

APPALACHIAN SWEEPS 2010-11 COMMISSIONER’S, GERMANN CUPS or an unprecedented eighth time, Appalachian State University athletics swept the Southern Conference’s Commissioner’s and Germann Cups in 2010-11. Appalachian is the only school to ever win both the Commissioner’s Cup (SoCon’s top men’s allsports program) and Germann Cup (SoCon’s top women’s all-sports program) in the same academic year, a feat it has now accomplished three times in the past six years and eight times since the inception of the Germann Cup in 1986-87. Appalachian’s Commissioner’s Cup title is its sixth-straight, 19th in the past 20 years, 26th in the past 28 years and 31st overall. No other conference school has won the Commissioner’s Cup more than five times since its inception in 1969-70 and no current SoCon member besides ASU has claimed it more than once. Thanks to championships in four of the 10 men’s sports, the Mountaineers cruised to this year’s Commissioner’s Cup crown with 91 points in the all-sports standings, 13 better than secondplace UNC Greensboro. Appalachian was buoyed to the title by its record-tying sixth-consecutive SoCon football championship and its second-straight men’s cross country/indoor track and field/outdoor track and field triple crown. On the women’s side, the race was the closest in SoCon history, with Appalachian edging defending champion Samford by a half-point for ASU’s ninth Germann Cup title and first since 200607. The Mountaineers finished in first or second place in over half of the league’s nine women’s sports, winning championships in women’s basketball and indoor and outdoor track and field and placing second in cross country and softball. Ironically, after such a terrific campaign, it was a rare loss that wrapped up the outright crown for Appalachian. ASU softball’s 8-7 setback to Furman on the final day of the regular season allowed the Paladins to pull even with Samford in the final softball standings, which cost the Bulldogs the decisive half-point in the Germann Cup race. Thanks in large part to the Mountaineers’ success on the gridiron, In addition to 2010-11, Appalachian also won both the Commissioner’s and Germann Appalachian has won the Southern Conference Commisoner’s Cup Cups in 1986-87, 1987-88, 1988-89, 1989-90, 1991-92, 2005-06 and 2006-07. 28 times in the last 31 years.

SEASON PREVIEW

Senior quarterback DeAndre Presley is the top returning vote-getter from last year’s balloting for the Walter Payton Award. In his first full campaign as a starter last year, Presley became only the fourth player in NCAA DIvision I FCS history to pass for 2,000 yards and rush for 1,000 yards in a season.

coming off back-to-back winning seasons for the first time in nearly two decades, is looking to avenge last year’s 42-41 ASU victory, when the Mountaineers rallied from a pair of 21-point deficits late in the ballgame to claim the season-opening triumph. On the flip side, it will be the Mountaineers seeking revenge against GSU, which snapped Appalachian’s 27-game SoCon winning streak by edging the Apps in overtime last season in Statesboro, Ga. ASU’s SoCon road schedule is highlighted by an Oct. 1 matchup at Wofford. The Mountaineers and Terriers shared the SoCon title for the second time in four seasons a year ago and no other team has had a piece of the conference’s championship since 2004. In what amounted to a onegame playoff for the league’s automatic berth in the 2010 NCAA Division I Football Championship, No. 3 Appalachian trounced No. 4 Wofford, 43-13, at Kidd Brewer Stadium last Novemeber.

•

As always, the road to a championship will be daunting. The campaign begins with a trip to one of college football’s most intimidating venues, Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Va., where they face national power Virginia Tech. Storylines abound for the season opener, including ASU’s tradition of success versus NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision competition (seven wins over FBS opponents since 1983, highlighted by its historic win at Michigan in 2007), Virginia Tech’s first matchup versus an FCS foe since its stunning loss to James Madison last season and the fact that ASU and VT are the only two Division I programs with at least 10 victories in each of the past six seasons. A slate of six home games opens on Sept. 10 versus longtime rival North Carolina A&T and includes two of the most anticipated games of the year in the SoCon: Sept. 24 versus Chattanooga and Oct. 29 versus Georgia Southern.

In 2010, Appalachian State University football became only the second program in Southern Conference history to win six-consecutive league championships. In 2011, behind 14 returning starters, Appalachian looks to claim an unprecedented seventh-straight SoCon title. Appalachian’s inventory of accomplishments since 2005 is bursting at the seams but becoming the first program in the SoCon’s 79-year football history to win seven championships in a row would rank among the greatest feats for a program that has become the face of the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision. To achieve the seven-peat, the Mountaineers must overcome the loss of 12 senior starters from a season ago, including four all-Americans and three NFL draftees. However, they are buoyed by the return of 14 starters, including a pair of all-Americans in senior quarterback DeAndre Presley and senior wide receiver Brian Quick.

Brian Quick’s 17.7-yards-per-catch career average is tops in ASU history and among all active NCAA Division I FCS receivers.

Presley and Quick headline five returning starters on the offensive side of the ball. Of those five, four — Presley, Quick, tight end Ben Jorden and offensive lineman Orry Frye — earned all-SoCon recognition in 2010. They return to lead Appalachian’s patented spread offense, which ranked among the nation’s top 15 in scoring (seventh — 34 3 points per game), rushing (eighth — 217.4 yards per game), total offense (10th — 430.9 yards per game) and passing efficiency (15th — 141.52 rating). In his first year replacing two-time Walter Payton Award winner Armanti Edwards as the starting quarterback, Presley was spectacular in 2010. The 5-11, 180-pound Presley reminded many observers of Edwards last season when he joined his predecessor as one of only four players in FCS history to pass for 2,000 yards and rush for 1,000 yards in a single season, amassing 2,631 passing yards (20th nationally) and 1,039 rushing yards (28th nationally and second among QBs). For his efforts, Presley was named the 2010 SoCon Offensive Player of the Year (becoming the sixth Mountaineer in the last seven years to win the award) and placed third in voting for the Payton Award and will undoubtedly be a preseason favorite for both awards in 2011. Despite his success, it is easy to forget that Presley has just 15 career starts under his belt and will likely benefit from a full season and offseason as the starting signalcaller. Like last year, he’ll be backed up by talented sophomore Jamal Jackson, who compiled a 145.7 passing efficiency rating in limited action as a freshman.

Presley’s favorite (and biggest) target returns in Quick, a 6-5, 220-pounder with 22 career starts at wideout. The senior already ranks among Appalachian’s all-time leaders with 131 receptions for 2,322 yards and 20 touchdowns but will be thrust into the role as a leader this year at a position that lost three veterans to graduation in Matt Cline, Blake Elder and CoCo Hillary. Quick, who earned all-America recognition for the first time last season, will be the lone upperclassman in a group that includes only three other returnees with game experience. That trio — Jamill Lott, Andrew Peacock and Tony Washington — is comprised entirely of sophomores that have combined for just seven career receptions. However, Presley will have another veteran pass-catcher in Jorden. A fifth-year senior, the 6-2, 250-pound Jorden has been ASU’s starting tight end since he hit the field as a redshirt freshman in 2008 and has hauled in 72 receptions for 1,038 yards and 13 scores over his first three seasons. Jorden, whose blocking has steadily improved after arriving at Appalachian as a converted wide receiver, will be joined at the position by fellow seniors Brandon Thompson and Phillip Strickland, who are used primarily as blockers in two tight-end sets, and redshirt freshman Trevor Sawyer, who showed glimpses of Jorden’s playmaking receiving ability in practice last fall before sitting out all but the first two games of the season with a shoulder injury. Frye anchors an offensive line that returns two two-year senior starters in

himself and right guard Matt Ruff but must replace three graduated starters, including fifth-round NFL Draft pick Daniel Kilgore. With Frye and Ruff anchoring the right side of the offensive line a year ago, the Mountaineers’ pass protection was as good as its ever been, as they surrendered only nine sacks in 367 pass attempts (good for sixth nationally) and ASU averaged 5.2 yards per rush (good for fourth nationally). Ruff is once again penciled in as the starter at right guard but where Frye lines up is dependent on who else emerges as starters out of a talented but mostly inexperienced group that includes seniors Sherman Holt and Xan Thomas, sophomores Ian Barnard, Dylan Bostick and Regan Dufort and redshirt freshmen Graham Fisher, Kalan Jones and Kendall Lamm. Strangely, Appalachian has no returning starters at running back but does have a returning all-conference performer at the position in senior Travaris Cadet. While Devon Moore was the Mountaineers’ primary starter at running back in 2010, it was Cadet that was the team’s second-leading rusher (behind only Presley) with 671 yards in his first year at the position. With a full year of experience at running back under his belt, the ultra-athletic Cadet is expected to be even more of a force at the position as a senior but, as always, the stable is deep at running back for the Mountaineers with senior Cedric Baker and juniors Michael Frazier and Terrence McLean, who both converted to RB from defense during spring drills, expected to have significant carries in 2011.

ing experience at their rush end/linebacker positions in 2011. As Appalachian’s only returning senior that earned all-conference recognition on the defensive side of the ball in 2010, Ed Gainey will headline the defensive backfield at left cornerback. However, he’s one of five returnees that saw significant playing time in the secondary a year ago, which should help make up for the loss of LeGree, who left ASU as only the second three-time consensus first-team All-American in school history. Lining up opposite of Gainey at right corner is exceptionally-talented junior Demetrius McCray, who made three starts a year ago. The task of trying to fill the large shoes left behind by LeGree at strong safety falls to junior Troy Sanders, who was very impressive as a first-year starter at cornerback last season and while filling in for an injured LeGree in the regular-season finale at Florida. The free safety position will once again be manned by sophomore Patrick Blalock, who vaulted from relative obscurity as a walk-on to be ASU’s only SoCon all-freshman team selection last year, and junior Dominiue McDuffie, who has battled through a plethora of injuries to intercept five passes in only 20 starts over his first two-plus collegiate seasons.

•

Chris Aiken, who excelled as a member of ASU’s defensive-line rotation last season, just three years removed from two tours of duty in Iraq as a member of the U S. Army. Junior John Rizor is set to be the starter at the Mountaineers’ hybrid rush end position. The rush end will be in a stand-up position in ASU’s 3-4 schemes but line up in a more traditional three-point stance when ASU goes with a four-man front. Rizor had a breakout campaign with five-and-ahalf sacks (tops among ASU returnees) last season at defensive end. After missing all of 2010 due to a toe injury, junior Lanston Tanyi makes the move to linebacker and is slated to start at strongside ‘backer. Tanyi, who has 13.5 sacks, 18 tackles for loss and 16 quarterback hurries in just two collegiate seasons, will be backed up at the SAM position by former starter Justin Lloyd. Juniors Jeremy Kimbrough and Brandon Grier (ASU’s top returning tackler with 64 stops a season ago), are expected to start at the middle and weakside linebacker spots, respectively. That duo combined for 16 starts a season ago despite Kimbrough being hobbled for much of the campaign with a nagging thigh injury. In all, the Mountaineers will boast five players with a combined 53 games of start-

On the defensive side of the ball, Appalachian returns seven starters but must cope with the loss of three Buck Buchanan Award finalists in defensive end Jabari Fletcher, linebacker D.J. Smith and safety Mark LeGree, the latter two of which were selected by the Green Bay Packers (sixth round) and Seattle Seahawks (fifth round), respectively, in the 2011 NFL Draft. However, while opposing offenses will benefit from not seeing the trio that were considered to be among the 20 best defensive players in the nation last year, they will still have to contend with seven talented returnees, including at least two starters back at every position group, as well as unfamiliar defensive alignments, as second-year defensive coordinator Dale Jones has installed a package of three-man fronts to go along with ASU’s traditional 4-3 formations in 2011. The Mountaineers’ multiple-formation defense will be anchored by Dan Wylie, who is penciled in as the starter at nose tackle in the new scheme. Sandwiching the 305-pound senior will be 6-6, 300-pound redshirt freshman William Corbin at defensive end and 6-6, 315-pound fifth-year senior Gordy Witte, Jr. at defensive tackle.

Sam Martin averaged 39.2 yards per punt with 31 of his 60 kicks being fair caught in 2010. The junior enters 2011 expected to handle ASU kickoff, place-kicking and punting duties.

Junior Sam Martin, who has handled Appalachian’s punting duties for the past two seasons, is in line to become just ASU’s third place kicker since 2005, as he has been tabbed as the heir apparent to firstteam all-conference selection Jason Vitaris on field goals and PATs. However, with six kickers on the roster, there will be plenty of competition in the fall. Drew Stewart, a transfer from Marshall, could push Martin at place kicker while redshirt freshman Mark Powell is expected to back the incumbent up at punter. Wilson Fitchett, a steady three-year starter, returns for his fourth season of long-snapping duties while redshirt freshman Logan Hallock is expected to replace equally steady Dominick Magazu as the holder on place kicks. Cadet is expected to reprise his role as ASU’s primary returner on kickoffs and punts with Baker and Washington likely to see time in those roles as well.

COACHES AND STAFF

HEAD COACH JERRY MOORE

A bona fide legend in the college football coaching ranks, 2011 is Jerry Moore’s 23rd year at the helm of Appalachian State University’s football program. In 22 seasons at Appalachian, Moore has compiled a 199-79 record, making him the winningest coach in Southern Conference history. In 29 years as a head coach, he is 226-127-2, making him one of only seven active NCAA Division I FCS head coaches with 200 career victories and 20th among all NCAA Division I coaches (FCS or FBS) in all-time victories. Despite the success that Moore has enjoyed at nearly every stop of his 50-year coaching career, the past six seasons have cemented his standing as one of the game’s all-time great mentors. Moore led Appalachian to three-consecutive NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS — formerly Division I-AA) national titles from 2005-07, making ASU the first program to ever win threestraight championships at the FCS/I-AA level and the first Division I program, FCS or FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision — formerly Division I-A) to accomplish the feat in 61 years. He has also led Appalachian to its six-straight SoCon titles, which is tied with Georgia Southern (1997-2002) for the most consecutive conference championships since the venerable league began crowning a champion in 1933. ASU won 26-straight SoCon games —the second-longest run of league victories in league history — from 2007-10. Since the beginning of the title run in 2005, Moore’s Mountaineers have compiled

a 71-15 record (joining Virginia Tech as the only Division I programs to win 10 or more games during each of the past six seasons) and etched themselves in the record books with a number of other “firsts.” Most notably, the Apps became the first institution from the state of North Carolina to ever win an NCAA football championship at any level when it defeated Northern Iowa, 21-16, in the 2005 Division I-AA national title game — a feat they repeated with wins over Massachusetts (28-17) and Delaware (49-21) in the 2006 and ‘07 NCAA Division I national championship tilts. Additionally, Appalachian became a household name when Moore led his troops to perhaps the biggest upset in college football history, a 34-32 triumph over Michigan in the 2007 season opener. The victory over the Wolverines, college football’s all-time winningest program which came into the contest ranked No. 5 in the Associated Press’ Top 25 college football poll, marked the first time that an FCS team ever toppled a nationally ranked FBS opponent. However, Moore’s success at ASU did not begin in 2005, as the Mountaineers’ triumphs over the past six seasons has only enhanced his standing as one of the nation’s finest coaches, not defined it. Twenty-one of Moore’s 22 squads at ASU have posted winning records, nine have won Southern Conference championships and 16 have advanced to postseason play. He wasted no time in establishing a winning program, leading his very first Mountaineer squad to a 9-3 overall record and NCAA Division I-AA playoff berth in 1989.

Two years later, Moore hoisted the SoCon championship trophy for the first time when his Apps captured the conference title and accompanying postseason berth with six wins in seven league tilts in 1991. The 1991 championship campaign sparked a run of four playoff bids in five years, capped by perhaps the most impressive regular season in school history in 1995. The ‘95 Mountaineers rolled to a perfect 11-0 regular-season record and, behind a defense that featured All-Americans Dexter Coakley and Matt Stevens, appeared to be a favorite to win the school’s first national championship. However, Stevens suffered a year-ending injury late in the regular season and ASU’s promising campaign came to an end when it stumbled against Stephen F. Austin in the second round of the playoffs. Appalachian missed the postseason each of the next two years, but responded with a run of five-straight playoff appearances from 1998-2002. The stretch was highlighted by Moore’s third SoCon title in 1999 and an unlikely run to the 2000 national semifinals as the No. 13 seed in the 16-team field. Another two-year absence followed the five-year string of postseason appearances but like the playoff-less 1996 and ‘97 seasons, the disappointing campaigns in 2003 and ‘04 have been followed by the most successful stretch in ASU’s and Moore’s storied gridiron history. Altogether, Moore has coached 62 players that have earned all-America recognition a total of 91 times over the course of his 22 years at ASU.

COACHES AND STAFF

ALL-TIME NCAA DIVISION I COACHES WITH 200 CAREER VICTORIES

Jerry Moore VE

ale Jones is in his 16th season at Appalachian and his second as the program’s defensive coordinator. He also serves as ASU’s outside linebackers coach. Jones came to Appalachian in 1996 as the team’s defensive line coach and special-teams coordinator before moving to work with the linebackers in 2005. During his 15 seasons with the Mountaineers, he has coached nine all-America defensive linemen and linebackers, including four two-time honorees, and 16 all-conference performers that have earned the recognition a total of 28 times. Three of his pupils — Josh Jeffries (2002), K.T. Stovall (2003) and Jacque Roman (2008) — have been named the Southern Conference’s Defensive Player of the Year. In his six seasons as linebackers coach, he has averaged nearly two all-SoCon honorees per season, with Mountaineer ‘backers honored 11 times during that span. In 2008, all three starting linebackers — Roman, Pierre Banks and D.J. Smith — garnered all-conference recognition. In his first season as ASU’s defensive coordinator, the Mountaineers ranked third in the SoCon in scoring defense and led the league in sacks and third-down conversion defense. Ten former Mountaineers coached by Jones have gone on to play in the NFL, including current six-year pro Jason Hunter (Denver Broncos), as well as Mark LeGree (Seattle Seahawks) and Smith (Green Bay Packers), who were drafted following Jones’ first year as ASU’s defensive coordinator. In 2002, Jones was named the Special Teams Coordinator of the Year by American Football Monthly. One of the most popular and decorated players in University of Tennessee history, Jones was an all-American and two-time all-SEC performer as a linebacker for the Vols from 1983-86. He is best known as the defensive leader of UT’s 1985 squad, which won the Southeastern Conference championship and stunned No. 2 Miami (Fla.), 35-7, in the 1986 Sugar Bowl. Jones’ fourth-quarter interception of Alabama’s Mike Shula that sealed the Vols’ 16-14 win over the Crimson Tide remains one of the most memorable moments of Tennessee’s run to the 1985 SEC title. Jones graduated from UT in 1988 and began his coaching career as an assistant under legendary head coach Johnny Majors at his alma mater in 1989. He went on to serve one-year stints with the Parma Panthers of the Italian American Football League (1990) and the University of Florida (1991) before a five-year tenure at Georgia Military College, including the final four seasons as defensive coordinator. One of 13 children in his family (six brothers and six sisters), Jones is married to the former Donna Hall. The couple has a daughter, Brooke.

hris Moore is in his 13th season on Appalachian’s staff and his seventh as the program’s running backs coach. In just six seasons as ASU’s running backs coach, he has mentored three all-Southern Conference honorees in Kevin Richardson, Devon Moore and Travaris Cadet. Under Moore’s tutelage, Richardson, a former walk-on, flourished into a three-time all-American and all-Southern Conference honoree, the 2008 SoCon Offensive Player of the Year and ASU’s all-time leader with 4,804 rushing yards and 66 rushing touchdowns. As Richardson’s successor, Moore needed only 18 starts to become the 11th player in school history with 2,000 career rushing yards and despite a plethora of injuries, finished his career as the seventh-leading rusher in school history with 2,674 yards. Cadet, who had never played running back prior to the 2010 campaign, emerged as a second-team all-conference performer and big-play threat as both a runner and passcatcher under Moore’s tutelage a season ago. In 2005, Moore’s first on the offensive side of the ball, the Mountaineers averaged 193.3 rushing yards per game, an improvement of over 90 yards per game from the previous year. Prior to moving to offense, Moore coached Appalachian’s linebackers for four seasons from 2001-04. During that time, he mentored at least one all-conference selection each season. Moore began his coaching career as a student assistant on Appalachian’s staff from 1995-98. Following his graduation from ASU in 1999, he slid into a defensive assistant role for two seasons before taking over the Apps’ linebackers. During his time as a student and defensive assistant, 22 Mountaineers earned all-conference recognition, most notably two-time Buck Buchanan Award winner Dexter Coakley. Prior to his arrival at ASU, Moore played collegiately for two seasons at Texas Tech (1993) and Stephen F. Austin (1994). He was a three-time all-district honoree and 1,000yard rusher and two-time all-area performer as a running back at Coronado H.S. in Texas. He also lettered twice in track and field. The son of Appalachian head coach Jerry Moore is married to the former Tracy Robinson. He has two daughters — Chelsea Moore and Mikalla Shepherd.

ark Speir is in his ninth season at Appalachian. During his time at ASU, Speir has coached the Mountaineers’ running backs (2003-04), defensive line (2005-08) and defensive ends (2009-10) and will mentor the Mountaineers’ inside linebackers beginning in 2011. He has also served as the program’s recruiting coordinator since 2004. In 2009, Speir was named the NCAA Division I FCS Assistant Coach of the Year by the American Football Association for his work on and off the field. On the field, Speir has coached multiple all-Southern Conference selections in four of the past five seasons. In all, he has coached seven all-conference honorees that have earned the recognition of 12 times in his eight seasons on staff. Additionally, five of Speir’s pupils (ends Jabari Fletcher, Jason Hunter, Marques Murrell and Gary Tharrington and tackle Anthony Williams) have earned all-America honors a total of six times. Fletcher became Speir’s most recent All-American when he was a near-consensus first-team selection a year ago. Fletcher ranked among the SoCon’s top five in sacks in each of his final three seasons in the Black and Gold. Speir’s most notable pupils, Hunter and Murrell, tied for the SoCon lead with 13 sacks apiece and accounted for six defensive touchdowns between them in 2005. Murrell also led the nation with 13 sacks in ‘06. Both have enjoyed productive NFL careers, with Hunter entering his sixth pro season this year with the Denver Broncos. As ASU’s recruting coordinator, Speir has organized the efforts to land sixconsecutive crops of freshman that have been widely considered to be among the top NCAA Division I FCS recruiting classes in the nation. Off the field, Speir is involved in many charitible causes. Most notably, he has raised over $30,000 to help rebuild the Memorial Christian Hospital in Bangladesh by training for and participating in the 2008 Music City Marathon in Nashville, which he finished in 4:01, the 2009 Boston Marathon, which he completed in 3:59, and the 2010 Flying Pig Marathon in Cincinnati. In 2009, he traveled to Bangladesh to provide much-needed medical supplies and volunteer at the hospital for 10 days. In 2011, Speir turned to organizing and participating in motorcycle tours as a way to continue to raise funds for the worthy cause. Prior to his arrival at ASU, Speir coached at Western Carolina (1991-96), Presbyterian (1997-99) and Elon (2000-02), as well as helping Clemson to three Atlantic Coast Conference championships in four years as a student assistant (1986-89). Speir is married to the former Paige Holt. They have two sons — Zeb and Jackson.

rad Glenn is in his seventh season at Appalachian and third as the program’s quarterbacks coach. Glenn has served a wide range of roles on the staff since his arrival in 2005, including a season as tight ends coach (2005) and three mentoring slot receivers (2006-08) before taking over the quarterbacks position in 2009. He has coached six all-Southern Conference honorees in his six seasons at ASU, most notably mentoring the last two SoCon Offensive Players of the Year in Armanti Edwards and DeAndre Presley. Edwards, who wrapped up his illustrious career with Glenn serving as his mentor in 2009, set school records with 3,291 passing yards and 3,970 yards of total offense en route to winning his second Walter Payton Award as the nation’s top NCAA Division I FCS player. Under Glenn’s tutelage last season, Presley emerged one of the nation’s top players, joining Edwards as one of only four players in FCS history to pass for 2,000 yards and rush for 1,000 yards in a season. In addition to being named the SoCon Offensive Player of the Year, Presley also finished third in voting for the 2010 Payton Award (tops among non-seniors). As a team, Appalachian has ranked among the nation’s top 15 squads in passing efficiency, scoring and total offense during Glenn’s first season as quarterbacks coach. Glenn started his coaching career as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Greer (S.C.) High School from 1995-2000. He helped lead Greer to a 25-3 overall record and back-to-back South Carolina Upper-State runner-up finishes in 1999 and 2000 before taking his first collegiate job as the tight ends coach at Elon. He spent one season at Elon (2001) and two as the offensive coordinator at North Greenville College (2002-03) before moving back to the high-school ranks as the offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach at Seneca H.S. in his hometown of Seneca, S.C. (2004). Glenn graduated from Clemson in 1995. He is married to the former Anna Thompson and the couple has two daughters — Zoey and Landry.

rey Elder, a four-year letterwinner at quarterback for Appalachian from 2004-07, returned to his alma mater in 2010 as ASU’s wide receivers coach. In his first season on the Mountaineer staff, Elder coached a trio of receivers (Matt Cline, CoCo Hillary and Brian Quick) that rank among the school’s all-time top 10 in receptions and receiving yards and helped Quick achieve all-America status. Elder came back to Appalachian from Byrnes High School in Duncan, S.C., where he served as wide receivers coach in 2009. In his only season at his high-school alma mater, Elder helped lead the Rebels to a 13-2 record and appearance in the South Carolina 4A Division I state championship game. Under Elder’s tutelage, Byrnes’ receivers caught 284 passes for 4,655 yards and 60 touchdowns in ‘09. As a quarterback at ASU from 2004-07, Elder spent much of his career backing up the two greatest signal-callers in school history — Richie Williams and Armanti Edwards. However, he excelled when given the opportunity, posting a 7-1 career record as a starter. He helped lead the Mountaineers to their third-straight national championship by going 4-0 as a starter in 2007 and played an integral part in the Apps’ first national title in 2005, when he replaced an injured Williams early in the national semifinals versus Furman and led Appalachian to a 29-23 come-from-behind victory. Elder began his coaching career as a student assistant at ASU in 2008. He was South Carolina’s Mr. Football as a senior at Byrnes in 2003.

ith over a decade of coaching experience under his belt, Bob McClain enters his second season as Appalachian’s offensive line coach. In his first season at ASU, McClain coached an offensive front that helped the Mountaineers rank among the nation’s top 10 in rushing, scoring and total offense. The 2010 Apps also led the SoCon and ranked sixth nationally with only nine sacks allowed in 13 games. Four of Appalachian’s five offensive linemen earned allSouthern Conference recognition in McClain’s first year, highlighted by all-American Daniel Kilgore, who was selected by the San Francisco 49ers in the fifth round of the 2011 NFL Draft. McClain came to Appalachian in 2010 from Tulsa, where he served as the Golden Hurricane’s tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator in 2009. Prior to his year at Tulsa, he spent one season in special teams and offensive quality control at Michigan, his second stint under head coach Rich Rodriguez. He previously served under Rodriguez for six years at West Virginia (2000-05), the final three as an offensive graduate assistant working primarily with the Mountaineers’ offensive line and tight ends. At WVU, he helped lead the Mountaineers to three Big East championships and four bowl appearances. Under Rodriguez, McClain became well-versed in the spread offense scheme that Appalachian employs many aspects of when it has the ball. Sandwiched between the two stints on Rodriguez’s staffs was a two-year tenure (2006-07) as offensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator at Glenville (W. Va.) State. While at Glenville, McClain also coached the Pioneers’ offensive line, tight ends and running backs. McClain received a bachelor’s degree in business from Waynesburg (Pa.) College in 1996 and earned three master’s degrees from West Virginia (secondary education, elementary education and educational leadership).

15-year college coaching veteran, Scot Sloan is in his second season at Appalachian, serving as the program’s defensive backs coach. In his first season with the Mountaineers, Sloan’s defensive backfield helped ASU rank among the nation’s top 30 teams in pass defense, pass-efficiency defense and interceptions. He coached a pair of all-Southern Conference honorees, including All-America safety Mark LeGree, who ranked among the nation’s top 20 with five interceptions and was a fifth-round selection of the Seattle Seahawks in the 2011 NFL Draft. Immediately preceding his arrival at Appalachian, Sloan spent three years at Riverside Military Academy in Gainesville, Ga., including serving as the program’s head coach in 2009. During his three-year stint at Riverside, which included two seasons (2007-08) as defensive coordinator, he helped lead the Eagles to three playoff berths and an 18-15 overall record. He was also the school’s athletics director for two years (2008-09). He also served as the defensive coordinator at Griffin (Ga.) High School in 2006, where his squad posted an 11-1 record and advanced to the second round of the Georgia state playoffs. Prior to his four-year stint in the high-school ranks, Sloan was a successful college assistant at Georgia Southern (defensive backs, 2002-05), Georgia Military (defensive coordinator/recruiting coordinator/defensive backs, 1996-2001) and Clemson (graduate assistant, 1992-95). While at Georgia Southern, he helped lead the Eagles to two Southern Conference championships and three NCAA Division I-AA playoff berths. He mentored three allAmericans, six all-conference selections and one NFL Draft pick (David Young — 2003 sixth round, Jacksonville Jaguars) at GSU. At Georgia Military, he coordinated a defense that set a National Junior College Athletic Association record for total defense while winning the NJCAA national championship in 2001. Immediately preceding Sloan’s arrival at GMC, current ASU defensive coordinator Dale Jones held that post at the Milledgeville, Ga. school. Sloan’s four-year stint as a graduate assistant at Clemson came on the heels of a successful playing career for the Tigers. He played defensive back at Clemson from 1988-91, was a member of three bowl teams and helped lead the squad to the 1991 Atlantic Coast Conference championship. Following his graduation from Clemson, he began his coaching career at his alma mater and helped lead the Tigers to two more bowl appearances in four years. Sloan is married to the former Stephanie Crisco. They have two sons — Seth (a freshman defensive back at ASU) and Samuel.

COACHES AND STAFF

CHARLIE

COBB DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS 7th YEAR AT ASU • NC STATE, 1990

n his first six years at Appalachian State University, director of athletics Charlie Cobb has led the department to unparalleled success. The many achievements enjoyed by Appalachian athletics during the first 72 months of Cobb’s tenure include: • Three NCAA Division I football national championships — marking the first time that any program has ever won three-consecutive NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS — formerly Division I-AA) and the first NCAA football titles ever won by a team from the state of North Carolina at any level. • Shattering football attendance records at Kidd Brewer Stadium with crowds surpassing “The Rock’s” permanent seating capacity for each of ASU’s 34 regular-season home games since Cobb’s arrival in 2005. • A 298-percent increase in football season-ticket sales. • Six-consecutive Commissioner’s Cup championships — recognizing the top overall men’s sports program in the Southern Conference. • Three Germann Cup championships — recognizing the top overall women’s sports program in the SoCon. • Thirty-five percent of the athletics department’s students making the Academic Honor Roll (minimum GPA of 3.25). • Five teams (men’s basketball, women’s cross country, field hockey, women’s indoor and outdoor track and field) earning public recognition awards, based on being among the nation’s top 10 percent in their respective sports based on Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores. • The Yosef Club, which provides scholarship and facility support for student- athletes, raising over $2.5 million for the first time in 2009-10. Despite the state of the economy, the Yosef Club has reached the $2 million threshold for donations four years in a row and rasied nearly $2 million more in 2010-11 than it did in any year prior a string of five-straight record years since Cobb’s arrival. • Appalachian’s athletics annual budget increasing from $7.5 million in Cobb’s first year to nearly $14.5 million in 2011-12. However, the most notable of Cobb’s many achievements has been the addition of first-class facilities that will give Appalachian the opportunity to be successful across the athletics spectrum for years to come. Facility enhancements totaling $50 million were completed in 2009, headlined by the 120,000-square-foot Appalachian Athletics Center. The seven-story complex, located behind Kidd Brewer Stadium’s west stands, includes new football offices and locker room, a strength and conditioning center, training facilities, academic study space and computer lab for all ASU student-athletes, as well as premium seating in the form of 600 club-level seats and 18 luxury suites. The facility enhancements also included other significant renovations to The Rock. A new ticket plaza, which serves as a grand entrance to the stadium, as well as ornamental fencing that replaced the chain-link barriers that used to surround the stadium and field were completed before the 2007 season, while a 4,400-seat upper deck on the stadium’s east side and substantial upgrades to the east and south concourses were completed prior to the ‘08 campaign. In addition to the renovations to Appalachian’s most visible athletics facility, the campaign has also produced new homes for Mountaineer baseball (Jim and Bettie Smith Stadium), softball (Sywassink/Lloyd Family Stadium) and soccer (at the Ted Mackorell Soccer Complex), as well as the Apps’ first-ever indoor practice facility (Sofield Family Indoor Practice Facility) and renovations to Varsity Gym that have upgraded the facility to a premier practice and competition venue for ASU basketball, indoor track and field, volleyball and wrestling. With the $50 million in facilities enhancements, all 20 of Appalachian’s intercollegiate sports teams now practice and compete in facilities that have either been built or renovated since the turn of the millenium. While Cobb is quick to point out the “total team effort” put forth to achieve the many successes that have been enjoyed since he began his tenure as ASU’s director of athletics on July 1, 2005, it is the experience, vision and work ethic of the 43-year-old Cobb that has steered the Mountaineers to new heights. Cobb’s peers recognized him for his efforts when the National Collegiate Athletics Directors Association (NACDA) named him the NCAA Division I FCS Southeast Region Under Armour Athletics Director of the Year in 2011. Prior to his arrival in Boone, Cobb was a member of the athletics department at

North Carolina State University from 1998-2005. A four-year football letterwinner at NC State from 1987-90, Cobb served as the Wolfpack’s senior associate athletics director for external operations for the seven years prior to his arrival in Boone. In that role, he oversaw NC State’s marketing, ticket operations, media relations and student-athlete development operations, as well as serving on the department’s compact strategic planning initiative, gender equity and facilities committees. During his tenure, NC State increased football season-ticket sales by 87 percent and men’s basketball season-ticket sales by 121 percent. The combined ticket revenues accounted for an annual increase of over 86 percent for Wolfpack athletics, generating more than $6 million for the department. In addition, Cobb served as NC State’s administrator for baseball and women’s soccer, tournament manager for the 2004 NCAA men’s basketball first and second rounds at the RBC Center and the chair for the southeast region of the NCAA women’s soccer committee. Prior to returning to his alma mater in ‘98, Cobb spent six years in Atlanta, Ga., where he held positions with the Atlanta Sports Council, the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl and the Georgia Dome. As an assistant executive director for the Atlanta Sports Council and the Peach Bowl, he helped coordinate Atlanta’s bid for the 2002 NCAA men’s basketball Final Four and handled all game and event operations for the Peach Bowl. As sales manager for the Georgia Dome from 1994-97, Cobb helped procure events such as the Southeastern Conference football championship, the SEC and Atlantic Coast Conference men’s basketball tournaments, NCAA men’s basketball championship events, Georgia High School Association football playoffs, major concerts and other college and amateur sporting events. Cobb graduated with honors with a B.A. in business administration from NC State in 1990. A second-team all-ACC honoree at center as a senior, Cobb was an academic all-ACC selection and collected the prestigious Jim Tatum Award, presented to the ACC football senior with the highest grade point average, and the Bob Warren Memorial Award, given to the Wolfpack football player that displays the highest integrity and sportsmanship. After receiving post-graduate scholarships from both the ACC and NFL Charities, Cobb earned a master’s degree in sports administration from Ohio University in 1992. Cobb is married to the former Lindsay Brecher, who was an all-ACC goalkeeper for NCSU women’s soccer from 1988-90 and serves as an assistant coach for Appalachian’s women’s soccer program. The Cobbs have a 13-year-old son, Harrison, and a 10-year-old daughter, Branan.

One of the most explosive players in the nation ... due to his game-breaking skills, ASU tries to get him the ball in a number ALLof different ways, using him as a rusher, receiver and punt and kickoff returner ... after spending his first season at ASU lining up everywhere from quarterback to wide receiver, Cadet settled in at running back last year and responded with an all-conference campaign despite working primarily in a reserve role behind incumbent starter Devon Moore ... enters his senior campaign as the unquestioned starter at running back and will likely continue his role as the Mountaineers’ primary return specialist ... could become even more productive having spent an entire offseason knowing what position he would play for the first time in his collegiate career ... has impressed professional scouts with his tremendous speed and athleticism to go along with a sturdy 6-1, 210-pound frame ... has worked on eliminating fumbles that have been an issue at times throughout his career ... widely regarded as one of the program’s hardest workers and most team-oriented players. 2010: Moved from wide receiver to running back during preseason camp ... played in all 13 games but made only seven starts with all but three coming in as the second running back in two-back sets ... despite the late move to the position and reserve status, earned second-team all-Southern Conference recognition at RB from the league’s coaches and media ... led all ASU running backs with 115 carries for 671 yards, a 5.8-yards-per-rush average and six touchdowns, all of which ranked second on the team behind only All-America quarterback DeAndre Presley ... also ranked fifth on the team with 19 receptions for 218 yards and a score ... returned 32 kickoffs for 733 yards (22.9 avg. — good for third in the SoCon) and 12 punts for 72 yards (6.0 avg.) ... ranked second in the conference and 29th nationally with 1,694 all-purpose yards (130.3 per game) ... campaign got off to rocky start when he fumbled on his first carry of the season, which set up a Chattanooga touchdown ... wound up rushing just three times

MARK

2010: Redshirted. High School: Earned all-conference and all-Western North Carolina recognition as a senior at Asheville H.S. ... made 104-of-109 extra points and 14-of-21 field goals during his three-year prep career ... helped Asheville H.S. advance to state semifinals as a sophomore and quarterfinals as a junior and senior ... was high-school teammates with

Burst on to the scene last season as one of the college football’s premier players ... in his first season as a full-time starter and reALLplacing arguably the best player in NCAA Division I FCS history in Armanti Edwards at quarterback for the Mountaineers, all Presley ALLdid was become only the fourth player in FCS history to pass for 2,000 yards and rush for 1,000 yards in a season (joining Edwards in the exclusive club), finish third in voting for the Walter Payton Award, become ASU’s sixth Southern Conference Offensive Player of the Year in seven seasons and lead the Mountaineers to their record-tying sixth-straight SoCon championship and the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division I Football Championship ... unlike last season when he entered fall camp in a battle with Jamal Jackson for assignment to replace Edwards as ASU’s signal-caller, Presley is an unquestioned team leader as well as the front-runner to bring a third Payton Award in four years and seventh SoCon Offensive Player of the Year award in eight years to the High Country ... like Edwards before him, Presley is a perfect fit to direct ASU’s spread offense ... possesses game-breaking speed, terrific quickness, a strong and accurate passing arm and, perhaps most importantly, great decision-making abilities ... displays charisma and class off the field that has made him a popular figure on campus, in the community and across college football. 2010: Won the starting quarterback job in an open competition with redshirt freshman Jamal Jackson during fall camp ... in 13 games, totaled 3,670 yards of offense (good for fourth nationally, fourth in school history and sixth in Southern Conference history) and was responsible for 35 touchdowns (tied for third nationally and good for third in school history and sixth in SoCon history) ... passed for 2,631 yards (20th nationally, fifth in school history) and rushed for 1,039 yards (28th nationally, second nationally among quarterbacks and 16th in school history, third among quarterbacks) ... became the fourth player in NCAA Division I FCS history with 2,000 passing yards and 1,000 rushing yards in a single season, joining his predecessor as ASU quarterback Armanti Edwards (2006), Barrick Nealy (Texas State — 2005) and David Dinkins (Morehead State — 1999) ... threw 21 touchdown passes, ran for 13 more scores and caught a 33-yard touchdown pass (from himself ) ... became one of only three players in school history with 3,000 yards of total offense in a season (Edwards 4X, Richie Williams 2X) ... one of only seven players in school history to pass for 2,000 yards in a season (Edwards 3X, Williams 2X, Steve Brown 2X, Joe Burchette, Bake Baker and Pat Murphy) ... one of only two quarterbacks in school history to rush for 1,000 yards in a season (Edwards 2X) ... one of only two players in school history to be responsible for 35 touchdowns in a season (Edwards, 2X) ... one of only four players in school history with 20 touchdown passes in a season (Williams 2X, Edwards and Murphy) ... notched five games with at least 300 yards of total offense, good for sixth in school history, and nine games with at least 250 yards of total offense, good for a tie for second in school history ... became the fastest in school history to post 300 yards of total offense in a game six times, needing just 15 starts to do so (by comparison, Edwards needed 18 starts to record 300 yards of offense six times and no other ASU quarterback achieved the feat in fewer than 22 starts) ... placed third in voting for the Walter Payton Award, presented to the nation’s top FCS player, and was the leading vote-getter among non-seniors ... named first-team all-America by College Sporting News, second-team by the Associated Press and Phil Steele Publications and third-team by The Sports Network ... became ASU’s sixth SoCon Offensive Player of the Year in the last seven seasons ... voted first-team all-conference by the league’s coaches and media ... despite all the records and accolades, the season could not have gotten off to a much worse start for Presley, as ASU trailed Chattanooga, 35-14, with under 14 minutes to go in the season-opener ... however, in the fourth quarter, Presley completed 7-of-7 passes for 149 yards and a touchdown and ran three times for 14 yards and a score to lead the Mountaineers to an epic 42-41 come-frombehind victory ... the signature play of the comeback for the ages came when he completed a short pass to Matt Cline, who fumbled near the line of scrimmage, and Presley scooped up the loose ball and weaved 33 yards through the stunned UTC defense for the go-ahead score with 6:05 remaining in the ballgame ... in all, Presley led ASU to five touchdowns in a 10:12 span, including the middle three in just 2:54 and the final four over a 7:51 stretch ... for the game, Presley completed 22-of-29 passes for 340 yards (22nd in school history) and two touchdowns and rushed for 25 yards, good for 365 yards of total offense (26th in school history) ... he also added 33 receiving yards on what officially went down as a touchdown pass to himself ... for his efforts, he was named National Offensive Player of the Week by The Sports Network, a National Weekly All-Star by College Sporting News and the SoCon Offensive Player of the Week ... followed up the impressive debut by amassing 386 yards of total offense (285 passing,

Presley completed 14-of-19 passes without an interception for 204 yards and a touchdown and rushed 23 times for a then-career-high 170 yards and two more scores, totaling 374 yards of offense (23rd in school history) en route to the victory and his third SoCon Offensive Player of the Week award in five games ... he would only have to wait one more week to make it four SoCon POTW awards for the young season, as he threw for 242 yards and a school-record-tying five touchdowns in a win over The Citadel ... helped ASU retain the Old Mountain Jug the next week when he ran for 87 yards and three touchdowns and completed 21-of-29 passes for 185 yards in an efficient 37-14 triumph over Western Carolina ... during the week of the WCU game, an ESPN camera crew shadowed Presley for a day as part of its 30-minute ESPNU All-Access: Appalachian State documentary that aired the next week nationwide ... Presley finally proved to be somewhat human the next week versus Furman, as he threw his first interception of the season and relatively struggled by completing just 13-of-27 passes for 137 yards and a touchdown and running 16 times for 80 yards in a 37-26 win over the Paladins ... Presley’s first interception of the campaign snapped a string of 189-consecutive passes without an INT — just 26 short of the SoCon record set by Furman’s Braniff Bonaventure in 1995-96 ... the struggles against Furman foreshadowed the next week’s game at Georgia Southern, as Presley was intercepted twice and lost a fumble in overtime to seal the Mountaineers’ first conference loss in more than three years, a 21-14 OT setback to GSU ... Presley totaled 277 yards of offense in the loss but was responsible for all three ASU turnovers with the two interceptions and lost fumble, all of which occurred in the red zone ... the disappointment would be short-lived, however, as the following week Presley helped lead the Mountaineers to a 43-13 rout over No. 4 Wofford that clinched ASU’s sixth-consecutive SoCon championship ... Presley accounted for a relatively paltry 209 yards in the win (192 passing, 17 rushing) but threw a pair of touchdown passes to Quick and engineered seven scoring drives that helped stake the Mountaineers to a 38-0 lead before the end of the third quarter ... performed admirably in the regular-season finale at Florida, completing 19-of-28 passes without an interception for 157 yards and a touchdown and rushing eight times for 26 yards in a 48-10 loss to the Southeastern Conference power ... turned in back-to-back record-breaking individual performances in ASU’s two NCAA Divison I Football Championship games ... in a steady snowstorm during the Mountaineers’ postseason opener versus Western Illinois, Presley rushed 16 times for 264 yards (16.5 ypr) and two touchdowns while completing 2-of-7 passes for 47 yards and a score in the blizzard conditions to lead ASU to a 42-14 romp over the Leathernecks ... 89 of Presley’s 264 rushing yards (fourth in school history) came on the longest run in ASU postseason history, which gave the Mountaineers a 21-7 lead late in the second quarter ... the following week, Presley broke records with his arm, setting ASU postseason records with 31 completions and 56 pass attempts but his 361 passing yards (13th in school history) and 383 yards of total offense (21st in school history) were not enough to overcome defending national champion Villanova in a season-ending 42-24 loss ... the already impressive numbers could have been even more gaudy had Presley not been removed early from seven of ASU’s 10 victories due to the Mountaineers jumping out to comfortable leads ... in all, he sat out for 86:34 of those seven wins, or nearly six quarters’ worth of action.

2009: Played in 12-of-14 games, with roles ranging from being ASU’s starting quarterback in the season opener at East Carolina to being a big-play threat as a wide receiver and punt returner as the year progressed ... became just ASU’s fourth starting quarterback in a season opener since 2001 when he got the starting nod in place of an injured Armanti Edwards for the lid-lifter at ECU ... as did the entire team, he struggled in the early-going against ECU, throwing for 89 yards on 7-of-15 passing with an interception and running for 12 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries before being lifted in favor of backup Travaris Cadet late in the third quarter with ASU trailing 29-7 ... after the Mountaineers staged a 17-point rally with Cadet at the helm, ASU’s coaches decided to stick with the junior-college transfer as Edwards’ backup for the rest of the year and move Presley to wide receiver to utilize his athleticism in conjunction with Edwards and Cadet ... Presley proved to be one of the team’s top big-play threats down the stretch of the regular season ... he caught only three passes on the year but each went for 20 or more yards ... 29.3-yards-perreception average was 9.2 yards greater than the next-highest average on the team (B.J. Frazier — 20.1 ypr) ... caught a season-long 43-yard pass from Cadet in the regular-season versus Western Carolina ... also returned three punts for 16 yards on the campaign ... was inactive for national quarterfinals at Richmond due to ankle injury sustained in the opening round against South Carolina State ... returned to play in the national semifinals at Montana.

2008: Earned the nod as Edwards’ primary backup during fall camp and appeared in nine games ... completed a 32-yard pass and ran for 17 yards in his first two collegiate plays at LSU ... had the wind knocked out of him during the run and did not return to the game ... saw significant action in the home opener versus Jacksonville, completing 5-of-8 passes for 47 yards and running for 18 more ... was forced into action a little earlier than expected against Presbyterian as Edwards had to leave the game with a mild ankle injury with the outcome still somewhat in doubt ... Presley erased any doubt by running for a pair of touchdowns and completing his only pass for 58 yards to cement the Apps’ 48-14 victory ... appeared in four more games as a reserve, highlighted by rushing for 101 yards in just one half of action in ASU’s 49-7 rout over Chattanooga ... due to injuries sustained by Edwards in the Apps’ SoCon-titleclinching victory over Elon, Presley made his first career start in the regular-season finale at archrival Western Carolina ... responded by totaling 314 yards of offense (158 passing, 156 rushing) and accounting for four touchdowns (three rushing, one passing) in the Mountaineers’ 35-10 win ... following the impressive performance, he was named the SoCon’s Offensive Player and Freshman of the Week ... became only the seventh player in SoCon history and the first in 17 years to receive two of the conference’s weekly awards simultaneously ... the last player to achieve the feat was ASU running back Chip Hooks in 1991 ... finished the year with 379 yards on 30-of-45 passing (66.7 comp. pct.) and 415 yards and seven touchdowns on 73 carries. High School: Threw for 1,600 yards, 18 touchdowns and just three interceptions while completing 70 percent of his passes as a senior ... also ran for 500 yards and six touchdowns ... named first-team all-conference and second-team all-county in football-rich Tampa Bay area ... coached by Harry Hubbard.

21• LB • 6-1 • 230 • JUNIOR COVINGTON, GA. (EASTSIDE)

Fifth-year senior is poised to move into the starting lineup for the first time in his career ... came out of spring practice penciled in as the starter at defensive tackle ... while easily one of the largest men in the Southern Conference, is just one of five 300-pounders along the ASU defensive front ... as a former two-time state-champion heavyweight wrestler, Witte is able to utilize quickness, agility and athleticism in his role on defense.

Enjoyed a breakout season as a sophomore, ranking second on ALLthe team and tied for 13th in the SoCon with 73 total tackles from the strongside linebacker (SAM) position ... was poised to be ASU’s returning leader in tackles and tackles for loss (14.5) but elected in June to undergo season-ending shoulder surgery ... the shoulder, which was orignally injured last fall, will require several months of rehab ... Wray will receive a medical redshirt and still have two years of eligibility remaining when he returns to the gridiron in 2012.

2010: Appeared in all 13 games as a member of ASU’s regular rotation of defensive tackles, including five starts ... made 15 tackles with one for loss and one sack ... had an early-season outburst of eight tackles in three games, highlighted by a career-high four stops, including a half-sack, in ASU’s week three rout over North Carolina Central ... went dormant in the tackles column for several games after the sterling early-season run but did make a pivotal fumble recovery deep in Western Carolina territory to set up a touchdown in win over WCU ... finally snapped a five-game skid with just one tackle by making three stops, including another half-sack, in SoCon championship-clinching rout over No. 4 Wofford ... also had three tackles in season-ending loss to Villanova. 2009: Appeared in 13 games as a reserve defensive tackle ... saw consistent playing time as a member of ASU’s regular rotation at tackle ... finished the season with 10 tackles ... turned in best performance of his collegiate career with four stops in rain-soaked win over Samford ... two weeks later, notched three tackles, including one-and-a-half for loss, and a quarterback hurry in rout over North Carolina Central ... recorded two tackles in regular-season finale versus Western Carolina.

2010: In first season as a starter, racked up 73 total tackles (45 solo) and 14.5 tackles for loss, both good for second on the team ... earned second-team all-Southern Conference honors from the league’s media ... appeared in 13 games, registering multiple tackles in every outing ... notched at least five tackles on nine occasions ... in his first-career start, racked up seven tackles, including two for loss, in win over Chattanooga ... tallied five tackles with one for loss in 34-31 win over nationally ranked Elon ... notched a career high the following week with 12 tackles, including two for loss and a forced fumble, in decisive win over The Citadel ... racked up nine stops, his second-highest total of the season, and a quarterback hurry in win over Furman ... closed season on string of five-straight games with at least one tackle for loss — one at Georgia Southern, 1.5 vs. Wofford, one at Florida, 2.5 vs. Western Illinois and two vs. Villanova ... blocked a pair of kicks over the course of the season — an extra point against N.C. Central and a field goal to cap his spectacular day versus The Citadel.

2008: Appeared in12 games as a reserve ... made eight tackles, including two for loss and a sack, in limited action ... first-career sack came against Presbyterian.

2009: Saw action in 11 games, primarily on special teams ... recorded only tackle of the season in 52-16 rout over Georgia Southern.

2007: Played in season’s first three games at Michigan, vs. Lenoir-Rhyne and vs. Northern Arizona ... recorded only statistics with two tackles against L-R ... suffered a back injury versus NAU and sat out the rest of the season ... received a medical redshirt.

High School: Rated as a two-star prospect by Rivals.com ... was a threat on both sides of the ball as a prep ... passed for 3,991 yards and rushed for 1,680 more as a three-year starter at quarterback for Eastside ... was responsible for 52 total touchdowns as a prep signal-caller (31 passing, 21 rushing) ... was also a standout on defense, seeing time at both safety and outside linebacker ... returned a fumble 70 yards for a touchdown in second-round win in 2008 Georgia Class AAA state playoffs ... led Eastside to 23-10 record in three seasons as a starter, including 18-5 mark over final two seasons and appearance in state quarterfinals as a senior ... named 2008 Region 8-AAA Player of the Year ... coached by Rick Hurst.

High School: An all-conference performer on the gridiron who has also gained much noteriety as a prep wrestler ... played both offensive and defensive line, leading Salisbury to a conference title as a senior ... led team with 15 tackles for loss as a junior ... has over 100 victories versus less than 25 defeats in his four-year wrestling career ... two-time state heavyweight champion ... coached by Joe Pinyan.

Enjoyed a very effective first season in the Black and Gold after transferring from traditional ASU pipeline Georgia Military College ... has been tabbed as the nose tackle in ASU’s new 3-4 scheme ... is one of five 300-pound defensive linemen for the Mountaineers but like many of the others, Wylie is deceptively quick and athletic for his size.

Big-bodied four-year vet of the program has been pegged to return to tight end and provide depth to a senior-laden crop at the position ... arrived at ASU as a quarterback and was moved to tight end once before but spent last year as the third-string signalcaller to allow Kalik Barnes and Logan Hallock to redshirt as true freshmen .... big, sturdy frame could be an asset to the Mountaineers at tight end.

2010: Came off the bench for the first five games of the season before replacing Gordy Witte, Jr. as the starter at left tackle for the final eight contests of the year ... finished season with 39 tackles, including 5.5 for loss and 1.5 sacks ... was very consistent throughout the year, only twice having fewer than two stops in a game and never having more than six ... earned the starting nod with five tackles, including a three-yard sack, in win over nationally ranked Elon ... made first start the next week versus The Citadel and 27 of his 39 tackles came after he moved into the starting role ... turned in perhaps the best performance of the season in ASU’s loss at Georgia Southern, tallying a season-high six tackles for the second-straight week, including 2.5 for loss and his first full sack of the year ... had a tackle for loss in postseason-opening win over Western Illinois. Previous College: Rated as a three-star prospect by Rivals.com ... racked up 48 tackles, nine tackles for loss and five sacks in just 14 games at GMC, including 30 stops (five for loss) and three sacks in five games in 2009 ... coached by Bert Williams.

FINLEY STADIUM • CHATTANOOGA, TENN. ATTENDANCE: 15,235 CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – Trailing by 21 points with less than 14 minutes to go, No. 3 Appalachian State University football scored four touchdowns in a 7:51 span then thwarted a two-point-conversion attempt with under a minute to play to hold on for a heart-stopping 42-41 victory over Chattanooga at Finley Stadium. Appalachian (1-0, 1-0 SoCon) extended its Southern Conference winning streak to 21 games by overcoming a 35-14 fourth-quarter deficit. Chattanooga (0-1, 0-1 SoCon) led 28-7 at halftime and regained its 21-point lead when Garrett Hughes caught B.J. Coleman’s third touchdown pass of the afternoon on the first play of the fourth quarter. From there, the Mountaineers took over, scoring the game’s next 28 points in under eight minutes, capped by a bizarre 33-yard touchdown “reception” by quarterback DeAndre Presley. Chattanooga jumped offsides on a thirdand-one play from the Mocs’ 29 yard line, giving Presley and the Mountaineers a free play. Presley threw a quick pass to wide receiver Matt Cline, who was drilled by UTC defender Chris Lewis-Harris and fumbled. Presley picked up the loose ball and weaved his way through the UTC defense, picked up a number of key downfield blocks and scored the go-ahead touchdown from 33 yards out. After the teams swapped scoreless series, the Mocs took possession at their own 14 yard line with 2:56 to go and drove 86 yards in 11 plays, capped by a three-yard touchdown run by Coleman on third and goal that cut the Mountaineer lead to one at 42-41 with 56 seconds left in the game. With a pair of UTC kickers having already combined to miss three extra points, Chattanooga head coach Russ Huesman elected to go for two points and a potential victory following the score. However, Buck Buchanan Award candidate Mark LeGree batted down Coleman’s pass into the end zone on the two-point attempt to preserve the one-point lead. Brian Quick recovered the Mocs’ ensuing onside kick attempt to seal Appalachian’s epic come-from-behind triumph. Both sides of the ball contributed to the epic comeback. On the offensive end, things started clicking at the end of the third quarter when the Mountaineers marched 86 yards in four plays, culminating the drive with a 14-yard touchdown pass from Presley to tight end Ben Jorden that made it 28-14 with 1:17 to go in the third. However, it looked like the touchdown would be inconsequential when UTC answered by driving 77 yards in three plays and stretched the lead back to 21 with on Coleman’s 16-yard scoring strike to Hughes six seconds into the final period. Appalachian answered quickly with an identical three-play, 77-yard scoring drive that took only 49 seconds off the clock. Cedric Baker scored from three yards out to cut the ASU deficit to 35-21. On the ensuing kickoff, redshirt freshman Tony Washington leveled Chattanooga returner Buster Skrine and forced a fumble that was recovered by fellow redshirt freshman Karl Anderson and returned 18 yards to give ASU possession deep in UTC territory. Three plays later, Presley ran it in from four yards out to bring the Mountaineers within seven at 35-28. Buck Buchanan Award candidate Jabari Fletcher single-handedly took over the game on the next series, sacking Coleman twice, the second of which forced a fumble that Fletcher recovered himself at the Chattanooga seven yard line. It only took one play for the offense to capitalize, with Baker recording his second touchdown run in under three minutes to knot the score at 35-35. A three-and-out by ASU’s defense on the ensuing series set up Presley’s wild go-ahead scoring run. In his third-career start, Presley accounted for 365 yards of total offense and four touchdowns, completing 22of-29 passes without an interception for 340 yards and two scores and running 11 times for 25 yards and another pair of touchdowns. He was also credited with 33 receiving yards and another touchdown on the bizarre score that gave Appalachian its first lead. Quick was Presley’s favorite target, catching five passes for 121 yards. Cline had a game-high eight receptions for 89 yards and Jorden had three huge catches for 45 yards and a score. Devin Radford ran 10 times for a team-best 85 yards. Defensively, Fletcher stuffed the stat sheet with two sacks, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. Linebacker Jeremy Kimbrough registered a team-high eight stops. Troy Sanders and Justin Wray added seven tackles apiece. The teams combined for 83 points and 978 yards but were plagued by five total turnovers (two for ASU and three for UTC). Coleman led the Mocs with 340 yards on 23-of-37 passing and five total touchdowns (three passing, two rushing). NOTES: Due to UTC’s “White Out” promotion, for which the Mocs wore all white uniforms, Appalachian wore its gold Nike Pro Combat alternate uniforms rather than donning all black on a near 90-degree day in Chattanooga ... the 21-point deficit was the largest that ASU has overcome since joining the NCAA Division I ranks in 1972.. ... the Mountaineers racked up 253 of its 486 yards of offense in the final 17:29 of the game (167 yards in the fourth quarter) ... Presley’s 340 passing yards rank 21st in ASU history ... his 365 yards of total offense are good for 23rd in ASU’s all-time annals ... Fletcher’s two fumble recoveries matched a school record that has been achieved 30 times, most recently by Jacque Roman vs. Wofford in 2008 ... punter Sam Martin overcame a five-yard punt on his first attempt of the season to average 38.3 yards over his final four boots of the afternoon, three of which were downed inside the 20 yard line ... ASU running back Devon Moore was dressed but did not play due to a quad injury ... defensive end Lanston Tanyi sat out with a toe injury ... wide receiver CoCo Hillary served the first game of a twogame suspension for a violation of team DeAndre Presley’s heads-up fumble recovery and subsequent 33- rules. yard score provided the winning points in ASU’s 42-41 win at UTC.

BOONE, N.C. — Led by 386 yards of total offense from DeAndre Presley, No. 3 Appalachian State University football overcame its second-straight slow start to rout visiting Jacksonville, 45-14, at Kidd Brewer Stadium. Presley became the first player in Appalachian history to rack up 300 yards of total offense in three of his first four career starts by throwing for 285 yards and rushing for 101 in the home-opening win. The junior completed 20of-31 passes without an interception and threw for a career-best four touchdowns. His 386 yards of total offense were a career high and rank 20th all-time at ASU. Despite Presley’s heroics, Saturday’s victory did not come easy at first, as first-half turnovers plagued the Mountaineers for the second-straight week. ASU did not punt in the first half but led only 17-7 at halftime thanks to losing two fumbles, like it did in last Saturday’s opener at Chattanooga, and having a third drive stall on downs inside the Jacksonville 20. The slim lead became even more tenuous when Jacksonville marched 78 yards on its first possession of the second half and scored on a two-yard run by J.J. Laster to cut the deficit to 17-14. From there, however, it was all Appalachian (2-0, 1-0 SoCon). Each of the Mountaineers’ next four possessions ended in touchdowns, with the first three drives all covering at least 82 yards. The highlight of the onslaught was a diving 41-yard touchdown catch by Brian Quick, his third score of the afternoon. The junior finished with 132 receiving yards on six receptions, including the career-high-tying three touchdowns. The 100-yard receiving effort was the sixth of his career and his second in two games this season, giving him back-to-back 100-yard performances for the first time. He also hauled in multiple touchdown passes for the fourth time in his career. ASU’s defense also played a huge role in the late surge, as it limited JU’s dangerous offense to just 52 yards over the final 25:02 of the ballgame. Buck Buchanan Award candidate Mark LeGree led the defensive effort with a teamhigh eight tackles and an interception in the ASU end zone that thwarted the Dolphins’ final scoring opportunity of the afternoon. In all, Appalachian out-gained Jacksonville (1-1), 620-257, and held a 36-13 edge in first downs. ASU’s 36 first downs broke the 35-year-old school record of 35, set in a 52-28 win over Lenoir-Rhyne on Oct. 18, 1975. Besides Quick’s three touchdowns, tight end Ben Jorden hauled in Presley’s fourth scoring strike from six yards out and Devon Moore and Jamal Jackson found paydirt on runs of two and three yards, respectively, to round out the scoring for the Apps. However, the player of the game may have been true freshman walk-on Patrick Blalock, who enjoyed a spectacular day on special teams. Blalock recorded ASU’s first punt block in three years and nearly became just the third player in school history to notch two blocked punts in a game, only to have his second block negated by an offsides penalty. In addition to the blocked punt — ASU’s first since current Tampa Bay Buccaneer Corey Lynch did it at Elon in 2007 — and the near block, Blalock also registered four tackles on special teams. Jacksonville quarterback Josh McGregor completed just 13-of-30 passes for 169 yards, 142 less than he posted in JU’s opening-week win over Old Dominion. Running back Rudell Smith was limited to just 44 yards — 74 less than he had at ODU — and wide receiver Josh Philpart, who caught six passes for 115 yards last week, was held without a reception. ASU moved to 2-0 for only the second time in the past 12 seasons. NOTES: Appalachian moved to 59-19-2 all-time in home openers, including wins in 10 of its last 11 ... the Mountaineers avoided dropping consecutive home openers for the first time in 27 years ... a crowd of 28,708 — the sixth-largest in school history and the third-biggest for a home opener — saw ASU win for the 49th time in its last 52 home games overall ... the Mountaineers have played in front of over-capacity crowds at Kidd Brewer Stadium for 29-straight regular-season games ... ASU is 2-0 for only the second time since 1998 — the Apps also began 2007 with a 2-0 record following wins over Michigan and Lenoir-Rhyne ... LeGree’s interception was the 18th of his career, moving him into a tie with former all-American Matt Stevens for fourth all-time at ASU ... Quick became the first Mountaineer to catch three touchdown passes in a game since he did it in a nationally televised 70-24 win over Wofford in 2008 ... Moore’s touchdown run was his first of the season after sitting out of last week’s opener at UTC with a quadriceps injury and the 31st of his career ... on the ninth anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001, Appalachian honored the victims of the attacks with a moving pregame ceremony that included a salute by the ASU ROTC Pershing Rifles and the playing of Brian Quick made a spectacular diving catch for his third touchdown of the Taps by the ASU Marching Band. afternoon in ASU’s 45-14 win over Jacksonville.

KIDD BREWER STADIUM • BOONE, N.C ATTENDANCE: 29,218 BOONE, N.C. — Top-ranked Appalachian State University jumped out to a 24-0 lead less than three minutes into the second quarter and cruised to a 44-16 win over visiting North Carolina Central at Kidd Brewer Stadium. With the victory, Appalachian (No. 1 AFCA, No. 2 The Sports Network) moved to 3-0 for only the second time in 12 seasons and claimed its 28th-straight triumph over an in-state opponent at home. ASU’s last home loss to an in-state foe came on Oct. 6, 1984, when it dropped a 34-7 decision to Western Carolina at then-Conrad Stadium. The Mountaineers, who struggled early in each of their first two games of the season, burst out of the gates on Saturday, scoring on each of their first four possessions to grab a commanding 24-0 lead. Travaris Cadet capped the early outburst with a career-long 52-yard touchdown run just 2:28 into the second period. ASU dominated the action en route to the 24-point advantage, racking up 234 yards on its first four drives (10.6 yards per play), 197 of which came on 15 rushes (13.1 yards per carry). The shutout bid came to an end when N.C. Central’s Arthur Goforth returned the ensuing kickoff 92 yards for a touchdown but Jason Vitaris added his second field goal of the afternoon two series later to give ASU a 27-7 halftime lead. Quarterback DeAndre Presley and many of the rest of Appalachian’s offensive starters wrapped up their day by marching 66 yards in five plays on the first possession of the second half, culminating the drive with a two-yard touchdown run by Presley that stretched the advantage to 34-7. Led by backup signal-caller Jamal Jackson, the Mountaineer reserves added two more scores — a 35-yard touchdown pass from Jackson to Tony Washington and Vitaris’ third field goal of the day from 29 yards out — to cap the 44-point effort. For the first time in the school’s 81-year football history, Appalachian has scored 40 or more points in each of the first three games of the season. In all, the Apps totaled 524 yards of offense, including 328 on the ground. Cadet led the onslaught with a careerhigh 149 yards on just eight carries, good for an astounding 18.6-yard average. In just over one half of action, Presley completed 7-of-12 passes for 95 yards and ran six times for 57 yards (9.5 avg.) and a touchdown. Jackson was also impressive in the most extensive playing time of his career, completing 5-of-9 passes for 101 yards and a touchdown and running five times for 23 yards. Wideout Matt Cline and tight end Ben Jorden led the Mountaineers receiving-wise with three catches apiece for 46 and 44 yards, respectively. Defensively, ASU turned in another solid performance, limiting NCCU to 330 yards and just one offensive touchdown. Cornerback Troy Sanders and linebacker D.J. Smith paced the Apps with 10 tackles apiece and defensive end Jabari Fletcher added nine stops, including 1.5 for loss, a half-sack and his first career interception on a pass deflected by Sanders. In all, the Mountaineers averaged nearly twice as many yards per play (8.5) as the Eagles (4.3). A crowd of 29,218 — the fifth-largest in Kidd Brewer Stadium history — witnessed the rout and head coach Jerry Moore said that his team fed off of the energy. “It was a special crowd,” Moore said. “Our administration has tried some different things over the past two weeks to add even more energy to what’s always been a great atmosphere here and I think it’s working, especially with our students, who have been in the game from the beginning and staying into it right up to the end. You can really tell the difference on the field.” NOTES: Appalachian’s only other 3-0 start since 1998 came in 2007 when it beat Michigan, LenoirRhyne and Northern Arizona to open the season ... that year, the Mountaineers lost its fourth game of the year at Wofford, snapping the nation’s longest Division I winning streak (FCS or FBS) at 17 games ... ASU won for the 50th time in its last 53 home games ... Appalachian enjoyed its 30th-consecutive overcapacity regular-season crowd at Kidd Brewer Stadium ... Presley hustled out of the backfield to provide a key downfield block on Cadet’s 52-yard touchdown run ... senior running back Devon Moore scored on first-quarter runs of two and six yards, good for the eighth multi-touchdown game of his career ... senior defensive back Mark LeGree moved alone into fourth place all-time at ASU with the 19th interception of his career ... LeGree’s second INT of the season gives him six more than the closest active FCS player (Southern Illinois’ Korey Lindsey — 13) ... Appalachian wore its alternate gold Nike Pro Combat jerseys for the second time this season in recognition of Fan Appreciation Day at Kidd Brewer Travaris Cadet ran for 149 yards and a touchdown on just eight carries in the Stadium. Mountaineers’ 44-16 romp over North Carolina Central.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Top-ranked Appalachian State University intercepted four passes and rolled up 459 yards of offense to throttle Samford, 35-17, at Seibert Stadium. The resounding victory was the 22nd in a row in Southern Conference play for Appalachian (4-0, 2-0 SoCon). It was also the Mountaineers’ 13th-straight conference road win. For the second-straight week, ASU (ranked No. 1 nationally by the American Football Coaches Association and No. 2 by The Sports Network) jumped out to a commanding early lead en route to the triumph. The game was scoreless for the first 11 minutes but Mark LeGree kick-started the rout by intercepting his third pass of the season and returning it 21 yards to the Samford 13. Three plays later, DeAndre Presley scored from a yard out on a quarterback sneak to make it 7-0, Mountaineers. On ASU’s next possession, Presley engineered a 76-yard scoring drive, capped by a pretty 30-yard touchdown pass to Matt Cline that made it 14-0, Mountaineers, on the first play of the second quarter. Samford made it interesting when Fabian Truss cut the deficit in half with a 74-yard touchdown run on the second play of the Bulldogs’ ensuing possession and, after an ASU punt, got the ball back with a chance to tie the game. However, ASU linebacker D.J. Smith turned the tide of the game when he intercepted Samford’s Dustin Taliaferro at the Samford 42 and returned it 26 yards. One play later, Presley scored on a 16-yard touchdown run to stretch the advantage back to 14 points. On its next series, Appalachian rode tight end Ben Jorden to its fourth touchdown in a 13:41 span. The junior caught three passes on ASU’s 75-yard scoring drive, all of which accounted for first downs, including a 15-yard touchdown that gave the Mountaineers a commanding 28-7 lead late with 5:06 to go first half. Samford (2-2, 0-1 SoCon) attempted to grab a bit of momentum with a field goal in the waning seconds of the first half but Appalachian effectively ended the Bulldogs’ upset hopes when Devon Moore made it 35-10 with a nineyard touchdown run on the second play after the break. From there, ASU cruised to its first 4-0 start in 12 years. Defensive backs Ed Gainey and Dominique McDuffie intercepted passes in the second half to give Appalachian four interceptions for the first time since it accomplished the feat against Presbyterian on Sept. 27, 2008. The interceptions helped limit SU to 129 yards in the second half, including only 32 in the third quarter. For the game, the Mountaineers out-gained the Bulldogs, 459-323. Making his first-ever start at the middle linebacker position in place of injured Jeremy Kimbrough, Smith led Appalachian’s stout defensive effort with 14 tackles (13 solo) as well as the his first interception of the season, a pass break-up and a sack. In only three career games against the Bulldogs, the senior Buck Buchanan Award candidate racked up an amazing 47 tackles. Presley led the Mountaineers offensively by accounting for 273 yards of total offense and four touchdowns in a little more than three quarters of work. He completed 16-of-27 passes for 176 yards and two touchdowns and rushed 15 times for 97 yards and two more scores. NOTES: For the fourth time in four games this season, ASU lost the opening coin toss ... Appalachian had scored 393 offensive touchdowns since the last time it scored on a play when taking the snap from under center before Presley’s quarterback sneak in the first quarter ... the last time the Mountaineers scored on a play when the quarterback took the snap from under center, DaVon Fowlkes hauled in a 47-yard touchdown pass from Richie Williams in ASU’s 26-18 win over Western Carolina on Nov. 15, 2003 ... an announced attendance of 9,428 was the 10th-largest in the history of Samford’s Seibert Stadium but the crowd dwindled drastically after Appalachian grabbed a 21-point lead in the second quarter ... LeGree’s interception was the 20th of his career, moving him into a tie with Wayne Byrd (1963-66) for third all-time at ASU ... LeGree’s 20 interceptions are seven more than the next-highest total for any NCAA Division I FCS player (Southern Illiinois’ Korey Lindsey and New Hampshire’s Dino Vasso both have 13) ... the Mountaineers are 4-0 for the ninth time in the program’s 81-year history and the first time since 1998 ... Appalachian moved to 4-1 all-time versus Samford, including a 3-0 mark since the Bulldogs joined the SoCon in 2008 ... ASU evened its record at 4-4 all-time in Playing middle linebacker for the first time in his collegiate career, D.J. Smith had games played in Alabama. 14 tackles with a sack and an interception in ASU’s 35-17 win at Samford.

KIDD BREWER STADIUM • BOONE, N.C ATTENDANCE: 31,531 BOONE, N.C. — DeAndre Presley accounted for 374 yards of total offense and three touchdowns to lead topranked Appalachian State University to a 34-31 victory over No. 19 Elon in front of a school-record crowd of 31,531 at Kidd Brewer Stadium. Presley completed 14-of-19 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown and ran 23 times for a career-high 170 yards and two more scores to lead Appalachian (5-0, 3-0 SoCon) to its 23rd-consecutive Southern Conference victory and its 15th-straight triumph over Elon (2-4, 1-2 SoCon). Presley was impressive from his first play of the game — a 39-yard pass to CoCo Hillary — to his last, an eightyard first-down run that sealed the victory with under two minutes to play. At the end of that run, Presley sustained a head injury and walked off the field with assistance from ASU athletic training personnel. He will be evaluated further on Sunday and his status for next Saturday’s home tilt with The Citadel is unknown at this time. Presley’s 39-yard connection with Hillary on the first play from scrimmage set the tone for an eight-play, 75-yard touchdown drive that gave Appalachian an early 7-0 lead but, aided by a roughing the punter penalty on its initial series, Elon scored the game’s next 10 points to take a 10-7 advantage. The Phoenix’s only lead of the game would be short-lived, as the Mountaineers needed only four plays to erase the deficit, with a 39-yard touchdown run by Cedric Baker capping the one-minute, 37-second drive that gave the Apps a 13-10 lead they would never relinquish. Elon drew back within three points on three different occasions but, each time, ASU responded. Following the first two times that the Phoenix cut the deficit to three, the Mountaineers answered with touchdowns to stretch the lead back to 10 and after Elon scored with 3:50 to go to make it 34-31, the Apps got four big first downs to run out the clock. Besides Presley, Appalachian’s biggest plays of the day were made by Hillary. The senior finished with three receptions for 76 yards — both season highs — and all three receptions were huge ones. In addition to the 39-yard gain on the first play of the day, he hauled in a 13-yard touchdown pass from Presley on a third-and-goal play to give ASU a 34-24 lead early in the fourth quarter and made a 24-yard catch on the final drive to give the Mountaineers one of the four first downs it needed to seal the victory. Appalachian’s defense also contributed with big plays in the win. The Mountaineers sacked Elon quarterback Scott Riddle three times and finished with seven tackles for loss. More importantly, the ASU defense came up big when it mattered most, twice turning away the Phoenix away on fourth down, the second of which came on the ASU six yard line early in the third quarter. Buck Buchanan Award candidates D.J. Smith and Jabari Fletcher led the Black and Gold defensively, with Smith registering a game-high 14 tackles, including one for loss, and a pass break-up and Fletcher notching two sacks and three tackles for loss among his four stops. Largely because of Riddle’s 394 yards on 31-of-43 passing, Elon held a 503-478 edge in total yardage but Appalachian held a 7.6-7.2 advantage in yards per play. Behind Presley’s 170 rushing yards, the Mountaineers outgained the Phoenix 274-109 on the ground. Penalties were ASU’s achilles heel throughout the afternoon, as it was flagged 12 times for 116 yards, including nine times for 96 yards in the first half alone. NOTES: Appalachian has not lost to Elon since 1964 ... its 15-straight wins over the Phoenix include all eight since Elon joined the SoCon in 2003 ... Elon, which finished second behind ASU in the SoCon a year ago and were picked to place second again this year, faces an uphill climb in its quest for a second-straight NCAA Division I championship appearance, as it is essentially three games behind Appalachian in the SoCon standings (thanks to ASU holding the tiebreaker with the Phoenix) and cannot reach the benchmark of seven Division I wins used for at-large consideration in the 20-team postseason field ... the Mountaineers’ last loss in a conference game came on Oct. 20, 2007 vs. Georgia Southern – 1,083 days ago ... Saturday’s crowd surpassed the previous ASU record of 30,931, set versus Wofford on Oct. 31, 2008 ... three of Appalachian’s eight largest crowds all-time have come in its first three home games this year ... the Mountaineers won for the 51st time in their last 54 home games and notched their 29th-consecutive home win over an in-state opponent ... the last time ASU fell to an instate foe at home was a 34-7 loss to Western Carolina on Oct. 6, 1984 at then-Conrad Stadium ... in his seventh career start, Presley surpassed the 300-yard mark in total offense for the fourth time, which ties him with Bake Baker (1994-97) for fifth in school history ... Presley scored on 53- and 44-yard touchdown runs, which both surpassed his previous career long of 34 yards ... the 100-yard rushing effort was Presley’s second of the season and fourth of his career ... Hillary’s touchdown catch was his first since last Oct. 31 at Furman ... the following week, Hillary suffered a seasonending knee injury during practice ... ASU won its 10th-straight game on SportSouth and moved to 20-3 all-time when playing on the network ... Elon’s Aaron Mellette, who caught three of Riddle’s four touchdown passes from 7, 6 and 43 yards out, became the first player with three receiving touchdowns against ASU Jabari Fletcher had two of ASU’s three sacks and three of the since Hawaii’s Jeremiah Cockerman in 2003. Mountaineers’ seven tackles for loss in a 34-31 win over Elon.

BOONE, N.C. — DeAndre Presley matched a school record with five touchdown passes and Appalachian State University’s defense did not allow The Citadel to complete a pass in a 39-10 rout over the visiting Bulldogs at Kidd Brewer Stadium. Presley became only the fourth Mountaineer to ever throw five touchdown passes in a game and the Appalachian defense did not surrender a completed pass for the first time in school history in the rout. ASU’s 16th victory in its last 17 meetings with The Citadel extended the Mountaineers’ Southern Conference winning streak to 24 games and 1,090 days, dating back to a 38-35 loss to Georgia Southern on Oct. 20, 2007. Presley’s touchdown passes of 65, 3, 5, 22 and 73 yards highlighted a 14-for-25, 241-yard performance for the Walter Payton Award and SoCon Offensive Player of the Year candidate. He also added 27 yards on four carries to finish with 268 yards of total offense despite sitting out the final quarter of the ballgame after helping stake topranked Appalachian (6-0, 4-0 SoCon) to the 29-point lead that would also serve as the game’s final margin. The Citadel (2-5, 0-4 SoCon) actually drew first blood less than five minutes into the game when quarterback Matt Thompson scored on a one-yard run to cap a 22-yard drive and give the Bulldogs a 7-0 lead. The short field was set up by a 40-yard return of an ASU fumble by The Citadel defensive end Erik Clanton. Unfortunately for the Bulldogs, their momentum lasted less than 20 seconds because on the first snap following their score, Presley hooked up with Brian Quick for a 65-yard touchdown pass. The Citadel blocked the extra point to maintain a one-point advantage but the touchdown was the catalyst of 29 unanswered points over the next 23 minutes that gave the Mountaineers a commanding 29-7 halftime lead. In addition to Presley’s four first-half touchdown passes, Appalachian benefitted from The Citadel making two errant snaps on punts that led directly to 10 of ASU’s 29 points. After a Citadel field goal on the first series of the second half, the Mountaineers scored the final 10 points to seal the victory. Travaris Cadet capped the scoring when he took a short pass from Presley, picked up a couple of key downfield blocks and wove his way through the Bulldog secondary for a 73-yard touchdown with 1:24 remaining in the third period. Presley’s record-tying fifth touchdown pass, which came on the evening’s final snap for ASU’s offensive starters, was the longest play of both his and Cadet’s careers and ASU’s biggest gain of the season. Quick caught two of Presley’s five touchdown passes and finished with 99 yards on three receptions. Cadet also caught three passes for 79 yards and a score while CoCo Hillary and Ben Jorden were on the receiving end of Presley’s other touchdown strikes. Despite the offensive fireworks, the biggest story of the ballgame was ASU’s defense, which kept The Citadel’s triple-option attack in check to the tune of just 197 total yards (3.3 per play), all of which came on the ground. Five of the Bulldogs’ six pass attempts fell incomplete and the other was picked off by Mark LeGree, who moved alone into third all-time at ASU with the 21st interception of his career. Linebacker Justin Wray highlighted the Mountaineers’ staunch defensive effort with a game-high-tying 12 tackles, two tackles for loss, a forced fumble and a field-goal block. Fellow linebacker D.J. Smith also notched 12 tackles and recovered a fumble. Prior to the dominating performance, the fewest completions and passing yards ever allowed by ASU came against Western Carolina on Sept. 25, 1965, when the Catamounts completed just 1-of-11 passes for three yards in a 7-0 WCU win. NOTES: Appalachian’s 24-game SoCon winning streak is the secondlongest in the league’s 89-year football history (West Virginia won 30-consecutive SoCon games from 1952-59) ... the Mountaineers won for the 52nd time in their last 55 home games ... ASU beat The Citadel for the ninth-straight time at Kidd Brewer Stadium (The Citadel’s last win at ASU came in 1992) ... Presley, who extended his string of consecutive pass attempts without an interception to 147, is the first ASU starting quarterback to not throw an interception over his first six starts of a season since Todd Payton in 1986 ... the other Mountaineers to throw five touchdown passes in a game are Armanti Edwards (2008 vs. Wofford), Richie Williams (2004 vs. Northwestern State) and Pat Murphy (1968 vs. Wofford and 1967 vs. Presbyterian) ... Quick moved into fifth all-time at Appalachian with 16 career touchdown receptions ... ASU was intercepted for the first time all season when backup quarterback Jamal Jackson was picked off in the fourth quarter ... the Mountaineers, who were playing only their fourth home game at night since 2001, won for the fifth-straight time under the DeAndre Presley matched a school record with five touchdown passes, lights at Kidd Brewer Stadium. which was five more passes than The Citadel completed in ASU’s 39-10 win.

E.J. WHITMIRE STADIUM • CULLOWHEE, N.C ATTENDANCE: 14,004 CULLOWHEE, N.C. — Top-ranked Appalachian State University took advantage of terrific field position to jump out to a 20-point first-quarter lead and never looked back en route to a 37-14 win over archrival Western Carolina at E.J. Whitmire Stadium. Appalachian’s 24th win in its last 26 meetings with Western Carolina was also its 25th-straight Southern Conference victory. ASU (7-0, 5-0 SoCon) is just five wins short of the SoCon record of 30-consecutive league triumphs, set by West Virginia from 1952-59. ASU’s latest win in the Battle for the Old Mountain Jug had far less drama than the last two, which were both decided in the second half, because for all intents and purposes, Saturday’s game was over in the first quarter. The Mountaineers scored on 3-of-4 first-quarter possessions, all of which started in WCU territory, to grab a commanding 20-0 lead. Travaris Cadet set the tone for the dominating first period by returning the opening kickoff 56 yards to the WCU 44. Eight plays later, DeAndre Presley scored on an 11-yard run to make it 7-0 just 3:22 into the game. Western Carolina (2-6, 1-4 SoCon) pulled out all the stops early in the game in hopes of an upset, beginning with its opening play when it picked up 50 yards on a flea-flicker. However, the trickery backfired for the rest of the period, which was a big factor in ASU building what proved to be an insurmountable lead. After an ill-fated fourth-down attempt left the Catamounts empty-handed following the big gain on their first play, WCU coach Dennis Wagner went into the bag of tricks again on the Cats’ next possession, calling for a fake punt on fourth-and-eight from their own 20 yard line. Demery Brewer easily snuffed out the fake and ASU quickly took advantage of the great field possession, with Presley scoring his second touchdown of the afternoon from four yards out to cap a five-play, 22-yard drive and make it 13-0. On its ensuing possession, Western gave Appalachian impeccable field position again when tailback Michael Johnson muffed a handoff and Gordy Witte, Jr. recovered at the WCU 26. The Mountaineers once again made quick work of the short field and stretched the lead to 20-0 on Cedric Baker’s two-yard touchdown run with 1:22 still left to play in the opening period. After out-gaining the Catamounts 122-66 in the opening period, the Mountaineers’ offense sputtered in the second quarter and WCU appeared to grab momentum when Zac Brindise found Marquel Pittman for a 32-yard touchdown pass that cut the ASU lead to 20-7 with 2:56 to go before halftime. However, Presley and Co. squashed any thoughts of a WCU comeback by answering the Cats’ touchdown with an eight-play, 91-yard drive, capped by Presley’s third touchdown run of the half from seven yards out. It took ASU just 2:12 to carve WCU up on the 91-yard drive, which started with a 31-yard run by Presley and a 21-yard pass to Brian Quick, and the Apps took a comfortable 27-7 lead into the halftime break. Appalachian tacked on a 10-yard touchdown run by Cadet in the third quarter and a 33-yard field goal by Jason Vitaris in the fourth to close out its seventh-straight game with 30-plus points. As has been the case all year, Presley led the offensive charge, accounting for 272 total yards. The Walter Payton Award and SoCon Offensive Player of the Year candidate torched Western for 185 yards on 21-of-29 passing and added 87 yards to go along with the three scores on just nine carries (9.7 avg.). Presley completed passes to seven different receivers, led by Matt Cline, who hauled in seven receptions for 60 yards. Cadet added 153 all-purpose yards (80 rushing, 10 receiving and 63 on kickoff returns). After not allowing The Citadel to complete a pass a week ago, Appalachian’s run defense stepped up against Western, limiting WCU to just 88 rushing yards. Buck Buchanan Award candidate D.J. Smith led the effort with a game-high 13 tackles, good for his fifth-straight double-digit-tackle performance. Against the pass, ASU registered a season-high five sacks, led by two from Buchanan Award candidate Jabari Fletcher, and broke up nine passes, paced by three by Ed Gainey. With the win, Appalachian moved to 7-0 for just the second time since 1954 and only the fourth time in school history. NOTES: The meeting was the 75th between Appalachian and Western Carolina ... ASU leads the all-time series, 56-18-1 ... the Mountaineers moved to 28-7 against the Catamounts since the inception of the Old Mountain Jug in 1976 ... ASU has won six-straight in the rivalry ... in two career starts against WCU (2008 and 2010), Presley has accounted for 586 yards of total offense and seven touchdowns ... he also had 43 receiving yards when playing wideout against the Cats last season ... Mark LeGree moved into a tie for second in SoCon history with his 22nd career interception on Saturday, two behind former teammate Corey Lynch (2003-07) ... LeGree remains third in ASU history, three INTs behind Larry Harbin (1961-64) ... Saturday’s crowd of 14,004 was the fourth-largest in E.J. Whitmire Stadium ... prior to Saturday, WCU had averaged 7,367 fans in three home games this year ... redshirt freshman Tony Washington made his first career start ... middle linebacker Jeremy Kimbrough returned to the starting lineup after missing three games with a thigh injury ... for the third time this season, Appalachian donned its gold Nike Pro Combat alternate jerseys ... ASU moved to 5-0 over the past Gordy Witte Jr.’s fumble recovery set up a short touchdown drive that two seasons when wearing gold jerseys. gave ASU a 20-0 lead in the first quarter of its 37-14 win at WCU.

BOONE, N.C. - Behind nine crucial points from its defense, top-ranked Appalachian State University topped longtime rival Furman, 37-26, at Kidd Brewer Stadium. With its 26th-straight Southern Conference victory, No. 1 Appalachian (8-0, 6-0 SoCon) moved to 8-0 for only the second time in the program’s 81-year history. While its high-powered offense has grabbed the headlines for much of the season, ASU rode a staunch defensive effort to the victory. The Mountaineers limited Furman (4-4, 2-3 SoCon) to 266 yards of total offense, 71 fewer than the Paladins’ average coming in and 84 less than ASU had allowed on average through seven games. The defense was especially stingy in the first half, as it surrendered just 76 yards to help the Apps jump out to a 14-6 halftime lead. The highlight of the first-half defensive effort came after Appalachian quarterback DeAndre Presley threw his first interception of the season, which Furman’s Kadarron Anderson returned 26 yards to the ASU 11 yard line. Thanks to a roughing the passer penalty on a botched field-goal attempt, FU, which trailed 7-3 at the time, had six chances from inside the Appalachian 11 to take the lead but the Mountaineers turned the Paladins away all six times, forcing a field goal that only cut the ASU advantage to 7-6. Inspired by the defensive stand, ASU’s offense marched 60 yards in six plays on the very next series and stretched the lead to 14-6 on the second of Travaris Cadet’s career-best three touchdowns with 3:28 to go in the first half. The defensive dominance continued after halftime when just 46 seconds into the second half, ASU defensive end Jabari Fletcher scooped up a botched handoff in the Furman backfield and rumbled 40 yards for his first career touchdown that extended the Mountaineer lead to 21-6. The teams exchanged touchdowns twice over the next 20 minutes and Appalachian took a 15-point lead deep into the fourth quarter when the Paladins made things interesting by cutting the ASU advantage to 35-26 on a fiveyard touchdown pass from Cody Worley to Daniel McFadden with 2:38 left to play. Needing the extra point to draw within one score, Furman’s PAT was blocked by Mountaineer cornerback Troy Sanders, who scooped up the loose ball and took it all the way back for a defensive two-point conversion that gave Appalachian a 37-26 lead and effectively ended any hopes of a Paladin comeback. Of Furman’s 266 yards, 124 came on just four plays. Over the Paladins’ other 53 snaps, they managed just 2.7 yards per play. ASU’s defense forced a season-high-tying six three-and-outs and allowed Furman to convert only 2-of13 third-down opportunities. Linebacker Justin Wray led the defensive effort with nine tackles and a quarterback hurry while fellow linebackers D.J. Smith and Brandon Grier chipped in with seven and six tackles, respectively. Defensive tackle Dan Wylie also registered six stops. Appalachian’s offensive star was Cadet, who ran a career-high 24 times for 108 yards and the three touchdowns from nine, one and one yards. Despite struggling to find his rhythm for much of the day, Presley still engineered four scoring drives and finished with 217 yards of total offense (137 passing and 80 rushing). Presley’s favorite target was Brian Quick, who caught a game-high four passes for 46 yards, including a 19-yard reception in the third quarter that made him only the fourth Mountaineer to ever reach the 2,000-yard plateau for career receiving yards. With the victory, Appalachian extended its record winning streak over Furman to six games and its home winning streak, over the Paladins to eight. After winning just eight of the first 31 all-time meetings between the two programs, ASU has won nine of the last 10 games in the series. NOTES: Appalachian has not dropped a SoCon game in 1,105 days (38-35 loss to Georgia Southern on Oct. 20, 2007) ... ASU won for the 53rd time in its last 56 home games ... the crowd of 29,093 was the eighth-largest in Kidd Brewer Stadium history ... five of the stadium’s 10-largest crowds all-time have come in the first five games of this season ... Presley’s first-quarter interception snapped a string of 189-consecutive pass attempts without being picked off for the junior, just 26 shy of the SoCon record of 215, set by Furman’s Braniff Bonaventure (1995-96) ... the interception was also the first thrown by ASU against Furman since the first quarter of the 2002 meeting between the two squads, snapping a string of 246 passes without an INT against the Paladins ... the Mountaineers scored 30 points for the eighth-straight game to start the season, becoming just the second team in school history to do so (the 2007 squad scored 30-plus points in all 11 regular-season games) ... in all, ASU has scored 30 or more points in 50 of its last 64 games ... only a junior, Quick has 2,011 career receiving yards — the other 2,000-yard receivers in ASU history are Rick Beasley (3,124 yards — 1978-80), DaVon Fowlkes (2,960 — 2001-04) and Bob Agle (2,151 — 1965-68) ... junior tight end Ben Jorden moved into a tie for seventh in school history with his 12th career touchdown catch in the third quarter.

PAULSON STADIUM • STATESBORO, GA. ATTENDANCE: 20,073 STATESBORO, Ga. — Appalachian State University football’s 26-game Southern Conference winning streak came to an end with a 21-14 overtime loss to Georgia Southern at Paulson Stadium. Appalachian jumped out to a 14-0 lead just 10:31 into the game but Georgia Southern (5-4, 3-3 SoCon) scored the game’s final 21 points to pull out the upset. ASU was plagued by three turnovers, all of which occurred in the red zone, including a fumble by quarterback DeAndre Presley on the final play of the game. The turning point of the game occurred early in the second quarter when the Mountaineers, already leading 14-0, appeared to extend the lead to three touchdowns when Devon Moore shed several tacklers on his way to the end zone from 22 yards out. However, ASU was flagged for a hold on the touchdown run and three plays later, Presley was intercepted in the end zone by GSU’s Laron Scott to end the scoring threat. Georgia Southern knotted the score at 14-14 with back-to-back touchdown drives that sandwiched halftime the first capped by a one-yard touchdown run by quarterback Jaybo Shaw with five seconds to go in the first half and the second which milked 9:27 off the clock to begin the second half. Appalachian’s best scoring opportunity in the second half came on its first possession of the fourth quarter when, sparked by back-to-back completions of 25 and 42 yards to CoCo Hillary and Brian Quick, ASU had the ball at the GSU 14 yard line. However, the Mountaineers didn’t come away with any points when GSU’s Michael Butler intercepted Presley at the goal line. The teams traded scoreless possessions for the rest of regulation and the Eagles got the ball first in overtime. They took a 21-14 lead when Robert Brown scored from four yards out. Needing a touchdown to force another extra period, Moore ran for 14 yards on Appalachian’s first overtime play. However, on third-and-10 from the 11, Presley was sacked by GSU’s Darius Eubanks, fumbled and the loose ball was recovered by Josh Rowe to end the game and set off a long-awaited celebration among the GSU faithful that are likely in the midst of their fifth-consecutive season without a postseason appearance. The Mountaineers outgained the Eagles, 325-301, but couldn’t overcome the three turnovers or Georgia Southern’s sterling 10 conversions of 20 third-down opportunities. GSU had the ball for nearly 10 minutes more than ASU (34:52-25:08). Despite the three turnovers, Presley had another impressive showing with 277 yards of total offense (211 passing, 66 rushing). Filling in for injured starter Matt Cline, B.J. Frazier was Presley’s favorite target, catching a gamehigh six passes for 62 yards. Quick racked up a game-high 79 receiving yards on four receptions. Defensively, the Mountaineers limited GSU to 80 fewer rushing yards, 63 fewer total yards and 14 fewer points in regulation than its season averages coming in. D.J. Smith led the defensive charge with a game-high 16 tackles. The loss was Appalachian’s first in a SoCon game since it also fell to Georgia Southern, 38-35, on Oct. 20, 2007 (1,112 days ago). That setback also snapped a monumental winning streak for the Mountaineers - a string of 30consecutive home victories. NOTES: ASU’s 26-game conference winning streak ended as the second-longest in SoCon history - West Virginia’s 30-straight SoCon triumphs from 1952-59 remain the standard ... next week’s de facto SoCon championship game is the Mountaineers’ second in as many years - last season, ASU defeated Elon, 27-10, in a winner-take-all game on Nov. 14 to claim its fifth-straight conference title ... ASU starters Cline (hip) and Pat Mills (ankle) and regular contributors Demery Brewer (thigh), Michael Frazier (knee) and Demetrius McCray (thigh) all sat of the game due to injuries ... Mills’ injury forced ASU to stray from its regular starting-five offensive linemen for the first time in three seasons ... Xan Thomas made his first career start in Mills’ place ... ASU’s quest for only the second undefeated, untied regular season in school history came to an end - the 1995 Mountaineers remain as the only team in the program’s 81-season history to navigate the regular season without a blemish ... two of the last three ASU-GSU games at Paulson Stadium have gone to overtime (ASU defeated GSU, 27-20, in two OT in 2006) ... four of the last five games in the series have been decided by single digits ... the Mountaineers missed out on a chance to become only the second SoCon team to ever win threestraight games at Paulson Stadium - Wofford was the first to accomplish the feat earlier this season. Despite a career-high six receptions by B.J. Frazier, ASU’s 26-game SoCon winning streak was snapped with an overtime loss at GSU.

BOONE, N.C. - No. 3 Appalachian State University raced out to 38-0 lead and cruised to a record sixth-consecutive Southern Conference championship by dismantling No. 4 Wofford, 43-13, at Kidd Brewer Stadium. With the easy victory in the de facto SoCon championship game, Appalachian (9-1, 7-1 SoCon) not only cliched at least a share of its sixth-straight conference title but also sealed the league’s automatic bid to the 2010 NCAA Division I Football Championship. ASU tied the SoCon record for consecutive conference crowns, set originally by Georgia Southern from 1997-2002. The SoCon championship is the Mountaineers’ 11th in 39 seasons in the conference. Since the SoCon began crowning a champion in 1933, only Furman, which has won 12 titles in 72 years in the league, has claimed more championships than ASU. The showdown between top-five NCAA Division I FCS teams was a mismatch from the get-go. The Mountaineers outgained Wofford (8-2, 6-1 SoCon) 125-23 in the first quarter, 248-35 in the first half and had nearly as many points (38) as Wofford had total yards (40) when they expanded their lead to 38-0 less than four minutes into the second half. ASU scored on six of its first eight possessions while the Terriers’ first eight series featured four punts (including three three-and-outs) and three fumbles. Wofford, which went nearly 25 minutes without a first down during one stretch, picked up 235 of its 275 total yards after Appalachian jumped out to the 38-0 advantage. Appalachian dominated Wofford in all phases of the game. Offensively, senior running back Devon Moore and junior wide receiver Brian Quick combined to score all five of the Mountaineers’ touchdowns. Moore turned in his finest performance of the season, rushing for 115 yards on 17 carries and three scores, all season highs. The 100-yard effort was his first of the season and eighth of his career. Quick caught five passes for 73 yards and scored on six- and 34-yard receptions. In three career games against Wofford, Quick has torched the Terriers for 426 yards and seven touchdowns on 17 receptions. Quarterback DeAndre Presley bounced back from last week’s sub-par performance at Georgia Southern to complete 15 of his first 17 passes and finish with 192 yards on 17-of-26 completions and 17 more yards on 11 rushes. Despite Wofford picking up a large chunk of yardage long after the game had been decided, ASU limited the Terriers’ vaunted wingbone rushing attack to just 189 yards, its lowest total of the season and barely more than half its FCS-leading 326.1-yard rushing average coming in. Wofford’s 275 total yards were 125 fewer than it was averaging on the season. Linebacker D.J. Smith led the staunch defensive effort with a game-high 10 tackles, his seventh double-digit tackle performance in the last eight games. Defensive end John Rizor chipped in with a career-high nine tackles and a fumble recovery and linebacker Brandon Grier also added a career-best nine stops, including 1.5 of ASU’s six tackles for loss. Appalachian also turned in a number of big plays on special teams. Brad Hardee forced a fumble on a kickoff to set up a second-quarter touchdown, Jason Vitaris booted a 50-yard field goal in the fourth quarter, the longest by a Mountaineer in over a decade, and Ed Gainey blocked the extra-point attempt following Wofford’s final touchdown and Troy Sanders returned it for a defensive two-point conversion that closed out the scoring. The defensive twopoint conversion was the second in three weeks for Sanders. Prior to Oct. 30, ASU had only accomplished the rare feat once in school history (the famous “Miracle on the Mountain” play versus Furman in 2002). The lone bright spot for Wofford was the play of backup quarterback Brian Kass, who replaced starter Mitch Allen after the Terriers fell behind 38-0 and led the team with 128 yards of total offense (86 passing and 42 rushing). Boone native Eric Breitenstein, the nation’s sixth-leading rusher with 1,189 yards coming in, managed just 39 yards on 17 carries (2.3 ypr) against Appalachian’s ultra-athletic defense. While ASU clinched no less than a share of the SoCon title and the league’s automatic postseason berth with the convincing victory, it must still hope for a Wofford loss to Chattanooga (6-4, 5-2 SoCon) next Saturday to win the championship outright. A Wofford win over UTC would give it a share of the conference title with Appalachian. NOTES: Appalachian moved to 11-2 all-time in games when it had a chance to clinch at least a share of the SoCon championship ... ASU has won eight-straight potential SoCon title-clinchers, dating back to 1995 ... the Mountaineers are all but assured of a bye in the first round of the upcoming NCAA Division I Football Championship and likely sewed up a top-two seed and homefield advantage through the national semifinals with Saturday’s win ... Appalachian moved to 22-3 all-time in games aired regionally on SportSouth ... since 2003, ASU is 17-2 in games that immediately follow a sameseason loss ... the Mountaineers have not lost consecutive games in November or later since 1982 ... Vitaris’ 50-yard field goal was the longest by a Mountaineer since Mark Wright booted a 57-yarder against Troy State on Sept. 9, 2000 ... Quick moved into third on ASU’s all-time receiving list with 2,163 career yards, surpassing Bob Agle (2,151 yds. – 1965-68) ... Moore’s three touchdowns moved him into a tie with Damon Scott (1993-96) for fourth in ASU history with 38 career rushing touchdowns ... prior to the game, Wofford’s largest deficit in a SoCon Devon Moore’s 115 rushing yards and three touchdowns helped lift game this season was four points. ASU to a SoCon championship-clinching 43-13 win over Wofford.

BEN HILL GRIFFIN STADIUM • GAINESVILLE, FLA. ATTENDANCE: 90,119 GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida found the end zone on 7-of-10 possessions and dealt No. 2 Appalachian State University a 48-10 defeat at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. Florida (7-4) controlled the action throughout, especially in the first half when it rolled up 327 of its 547 total yards en route to a commanding 28-0 halftime lead. However, Appalachian had opportunities to stay within striking distance on a number of occasions but could not capitalize. The Mountaineers went three-and-out just once in seven first-half possessions and drove into Florida territory twice but came up empty-handed thanks in large part to seven first-half penalties that cost them 55 yards. ASU’s second drive stalled at the UF 30 yard line when a fourth-down pass from DeAndre Presley to Ben Jorden was a thrown a tad behind Jorden and slipped through the tight end’s hands and a second possession ended prematurely when Brian Quick lost a fumble inside the ASU 30. After the Gators scored on the first series of the second half to stretch their lead to 35-0, the Mountaineers settled in and put together back-to-back scoring drives for their only points of the game. A 33-yard field goal by Jason Vitaris capped a 12-play, 60-yard drive that put ASU on the scoreboard and a nine-yard touchdown pass from Presley to Matt Cline culminated an eight-play, 64-yard drive that closed out the ASU scoring. Presley led Appalachian’s 274-yard effort against the nation’s 10th-ranked NCAA Division I FBS defense, completing 19-of-28 passes for 157 yards and a touchdown and running eight times for 26 more yards. Quick matched a game high with six receptions for 56 yards. Defensively, linebacker D.J. Smith had a game-high 14 tackles, becoming only the second player in ASU history with 500 career tackles in the process. Smith’s 503 stops rank behind only three-time all-American Dexter Coakley (616 tackles from 1993-96) in the program’s all-time annals. Florida quarterback John Brantley completed 16-of-22 passes for 222 yards and also caught a touchdown pass while another Gator QB, Jordan Reed, ran for three scores and threw for another. NOTES: With temperatures in the high 70s, Appalachian wore the untraditional combination of white jerseys and white pants, marking the first time it has worn white pants since Sept. 20, 2008 at James Madison ... ASU trailed 21-0 after three series for the first time since a 35-21 loss at Furman in 1999 ... the Mountaineers have allowed a touchdown on the opponent’s first possession in five of their last six games against FBS competition ... Appalachian fell to 7-38-1 against FBS competition since the inception of NCAA Division I football subdivisions in 1978 ... the game was ASU’s first in Florida since it defeated Tampa, 9-7, in 1962 ... the Mountaineers fell to 4-9 all-time in games played in the Sunshine State ...

BOONE, N.C. — Behind a career-high 264 yards from quarterback DeAndre Presley, top-seeded Appalachian State University rushed for 417 yards and routed No. 21 Western Illinois in the second round of the 2010 NCAA Division I Football Championship on Saturday at snow-covered Kidd Brewer Stadium. With the victory, Appalachian (10-2) moved on to the national quarterfinals, where it faced defending national champion Villanova. With several inches of snow on the ground at kickoff and falling with a mixture of sleet at times throughout the game, ASU turned almost exclusively to its running game in Saturday’s win. The Mountaineers threw only seven passes — the fewest they ever attempted in 38 all-time NCAA playoff games — but ran 59 times for 417 yards, by far their highest totals of the season. Presley was the catalyst of Appalachian’s ground attack, collecting the 264 yards — the fourth-highest rushing total in school history — on just 16 carries (16.5 yards per rush). He ran for two touchdowns, including an 89-yarder, which was the longest in ASU postseason history. In the process, the junior became only the fourth player in NCAA Division I FCS history to throw for 2,000 yards and run 1,000 yards in the same season. He joins David Dinkins (Morehead State — 1999), Barrick Nealy (Texas State — 2005) and his predecessor as ASU’s signal-caller, Armanti Edwards, who achieved the feat in 2006. One of Presley’s few undesirable moments came on the Mountaineers’ second possession when he threw an interception that was returned 23 yards by WIU’s Kyle Glazier to the ASU 12 yard line. One play later, Matt Barr connected with Lito Senatus for a 12-yard touchdown pass that gave the Leathernecks an early 7-0 lead. From there, it was all Appalachian, as it scored the game’s next 35 points to squash WIU’s hopes for an upset. The Mountaineers all but abandoned the pass after the opening minutes of the wintry contest, running the ball on 30of-31 plays at one point in the first half. The strategy paid off with ASU scoring four rushing touchdowns in the final 20 minutes of the first half to take a commanding 28-7 halftime lead. The Apps held a 291-52 edge in total yardage in the opening half, including a 291-(-26) advantage on the ground. Coming out of the locker room, Appalachian went back to the air and completed its only two passes of the afternoon on its first drive of the second half. The first completion, a 12-yarder from Presley to CoCo Hillary converted a third-and-nine and, three plays later, Presley found Brian Quick for a 35-yard touchdown that stretched the advantage to 35-7. Following Quick’s team-leading eighth touchdown catch of the season, ASU kept it on the ground for 20 of its final 21 plays to run out the clock on the 28-point victory. In all, ASU outgained Western Illinois (8-5), 464-231, which included a 417-133 edge in rushing yards. Even more impressively, 185 of WIU’s season-low 231 yards came after the Mountaineers took the 35-7 lead. The 231 total yards were less than half of the Leathernecks’ 476.1-yard average coming into the afternoon, which ranked No. 2 nationally. Linebacker D.J. Smith led Appalachian’s dominating defensive effort with 10 tackles, good for his ninth doubledigit tackle effort in the last 10 games. Fellow linebacker Justin Wray added seven tackles, including a sack and 2.5 stops for loss, and Jabari Fletcher also notched a sack and 2.5 tackles behind the line of scrimmage. Barr, who along with Presley is one of the top three vote-getters for the 2010 Walter Payton Award, managed just 98 yards on 13of-35 passing and was intercepted a seasonhigh three times. Glazier led all players with 13 tackles. NOTES: Appalachian secured its sixthstraight 10-win season, joining Ohio State and Virginia Tech as the only Division I programs with double-digit victories in each of the last six campaigns (2005-10) ... Presley’s 1,000-yard rushing season is the third by an ASU quarterback (Edwards — 2006 and ‘07) and the 18th overall in school history ... Presley also became the third player in ASU history with 3,000 yards of total offense in a season (joining Edwards and Richie Williams) and the fifth to be responsible for 30 touchdowns in a season (joining Edwards, Williams, Kevin Richardson and Pat Murphy) ... sophomores Demetrius McCray and Ingram Bell both recorded their first career interceptions in the win ... ASU head coach Jerry Moore opened his postgame press conference by praising ASU’s physical-plant staff for their work in removing snow from the playing field, stadium and campus throughout the day and the Mountaineer Marching Band for their willingness to do their halftime show from the stands while crews worked at removing snow from the playing surface during the break ... ASU moved to 24-14 alltime in NCAA Division I FCS/I-AA postseason DeAndre Presley ran for 264 yards during a High Country blizzard to games. lead ASU to a 42-14 second-round win over Western Illinois.

KIDD BREWER STADIUM • BOONE, N.C ATTENDANCE: 15,706 BOONE, N.C. — Matt Szczur scored four touchdowns and threw for another to lift No. 10 Villanova to a 42-24 win over top-seeded Appalachian State University in the 2010 NCAA Division I Football Championship quarterfinals at Kidd Brewer Stadium. With the loss, Appalachian’s season ended at 10-3 while Villanova (9-4) advanced to the national semifinals. where it fell to eventual national champion Eastern Washington. Villanova, who went 3-3 in the middle of the season when Szczur was sidelined with an ankle injury, rode the senior to the final four. The wide receiver/running back/”Wildcat” quarterback combined for 207 yards — he rushed for 104 yards and three touchdowns, caught five passes for 45 yards and another score and completed both of his pass attempts for 58 yards, including a 54-yard touchdown to Norman White in the first quarter. The scoring pass to White capped the first of three-consecutive touchdown drives for Villanova that turned ASU’s early 10-7 lead into a 28-10 deficit just over midway through the second quarter. The Wildcats took the 28-10 lead into halftime but the Mountaineers grabbed the momentum after the break by forcing three-straight punts to open the third quarter. Late in the period, ASU capitalized on the stops and cut the deficit to 28-17 when DeAndre Presley found tight end Ben Jorden for a 14-yard touchdown pass, the Mountaineers’ first touchdown since Travaris Cadet scored on a 46-yard run on the third play of the game. With a vocal crowd of 15,706 rising to a fever pitch, the energy was sapped out of the stadium on the first play of Villanova’s ensuing drive when Appalachian was flagged for a controversial roughing-the-passer penalty that gave VU its first first down of the second half. Eight plays later, Szczur scored from a yard out to stetch the Wildcats’ lead back to 18 points at 35-17. Despite protests from ASU’s bench and the Mountaineer faithful, Szczur was awarded the touchdown on third-and-goal when he stretched to reach the goal line as he was dragged to the ground by D.J. Smith and the call by the Missouri Valley Football Conference field crew was upheld by an instant replay official from the Atlantic Coast Conference. After the disputed score, the Mountaineers kept hope alive with Presley’s second touchdown pass of the afternoon, a 38-yarder to Brian Quick that cut the deficit back to 11 points at 35-24. Momentum then swung firmly back in Appalachian’s corner when Andrew Peacock forced Villanova’s Angelo Babbaro to fumble the ensuing kickoff and Karl Anderson recovered to give ASU the ball at the VU 44 yard line. However, the Mountaineers could not capitalize on the great field position, turning the ball over on downs when Presley’s pass to Tony Washington came up a yard short on fourth-and-six. Two plays later, Villanova quarterback Chris Whitney put the game out of reach when he scored on a five-yard keeper that gave the Wildcats a 42-24 lead. Presley threw for a career-high 361 yards in the losing effort, completing 31 of his ASU-postseason-record 56 pass attempts. Playing their final games in the Black and Gold, seniors Devon Moore, Matt Cline and CoCo Hillary caught five passes apiece. Cadet led the team with 80 yards on the ground. Defensively, Smith wrapped up one of the most prolific careers in Appalachian history with 12 tackles and a sack. The linebacker finished his senior season by amassing double-digit tackles in 10 of the final 11 games of the campaign and closed his career with 525 stops, the second-most in school history and fourth-highest total in Southern Conference history. Fellow Buck Buchanan Award candidate Jabari Fletcher chipped in with five tackles, including two for loss, a sack and a forced fumble. NOTES: Appalachian outgained Villanova, 461-449 ... the loss was only the Mountaineers’ fourth in their last 59 home games and their second in the last 15 postseason tilts at Kidd Brewer Stadium ... Presley’s career-best 361 passing yards were the third-most in ASU postseason history and rank 13th overall in school history ... Moore’s 93 receiving yards and 74-yard reception in the first quarter were both career highs ... Appalachian’s four sacks of Villanova quarterbacks matched its second-highest total of the season ... ASU rushed for 82 yards in the first quarter but only 18 more the rest of the game ... Appalachian head coach Jerry Moore must wait until next season’s opener at Virginia Tech to go for his 200th win as ASU’s head coach — he finishes his 22nd year at the helm of the Mountaineers with a 199-79 record at the school ... Saturday’s boisterous crowd of 15,706 was the sixth-largest in 24 all-time postseason games at Kidd Brewer Stadium ... Appalachian fell to 17-7 all-time in NCAA Division I Football Championship games at home while Villanova moved to 2-6 in playoff games on the road ... both of ASU’s losses to NCAA Division I FCS opponents this year came at the hands of national semifinalists — in addition to Villanova, Georgia Southern advanced to the semifinals with a 23Ben Jorden (84) celebrates his 14-yard touchdown with Matt Cline during 20 quarterfinal win at Wofford.

Postseason coaching records:

• Appalachian is the only program to ever win three-consecutive NCAA Division I FCS/Division I-AA national championships. Only two other programs have ever won two national titles in a row: Georgia Southern (1985-86, 1989-90, 1999-2000) and Youngstown State (1993-94). • Only six programs in NCAA football history boast three-straight national championships, regardless of division. ASU became the first Division I program (FCS or FBS) to accomplish the feat in 61 years when it won its third-consecutive title in 2007.

Youngstown State won a record 15-straight playoff games from 1993-99, but wasn’t part of the postseason field in 1995, ‘96 and ‘98. • Appalachian is the only school from the state of North Carolina to ever win an NCAA football national championship and the only public institution in the state of North Carolina to win a national title on any level of college football (private institutions Lenoir-Rhyne and Elon have won NAIA national championships).

* NCAA DIVISION I FOOTBALL — NEW NAMES, SAME GAME Beginning with the 2006 postseason, NCAA Division I football began using new labels — Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly — Division I-A) and Football Championship Subdivision (FCS — formerly Division I-AA).

Without starting quarterback Richie Williams, who was out with a severe ankle injury in the first half, Appalachian fell behind, 16-7.

Murrell’s counterpart on the defensive line, Jason Hunter, scooped up the loose ball at the UNI 15.

With Williams back at the helm, the Mountaineers cut the deficit to 16-14 on Kevin Richardson’s one-yard touchdown run in the third quarter.

Hunter galloped untouched into the end zone to give Appalachian a 21-16 lead with 9:14 left to play, setting off a wild celebration on the ASU sideline and among the 12,000-plus Mountaineer fans in the stands.

With under 10 minutes left to play, Northern Iowa quarterback Eric Sanders dropped back to pass from his own 25 yard line.

Murrell and Hunter combined for two more sacks down the stretch to squelch the Panthers’ final scoring opportunities.

ATTENDANCE: 22,808 Appalachian struggled to move the ball in each of its first two possessions, but after a sack to start its third series, ASU ripped off gains of 19 and 13 yards to move into UMass territory for the first time all evening. On first-and-10 from the UMass 45, Richardson took a handoff from Edwards, burst through a gaping hole on the left side of the line and easily outran the Minuteman secondary to the corner of the end zone to knot the game at 7-7. The gallop was the second-longest TD run in ASU postseason history (Daniel Wilcox — 65 yds. vs. Florida A&M — 1999). SCORING SUMMARY FIRST Quarter 11:49 UM Matt Lawrence 1 run (Chris Koepplin kick) 1:15 ASU Kevin Richardson 45 run (Julian Rauch kick)

APPALACHIAN 7 • UMASS 7 1:15 TO GO • FIRST QUARTER Both teams moved the ball with relative ease in the first 10 minutes of the second quarter, but all they had to show for it were swapped punts and a UMass interception deep in ASU territory. Appalachian got the ball for only the second time in the second period when it fielded a punt at its own 22 yard line with just over five minutes left to play in the opening half. On the first play of the series, Edwards connected with his favorite target, William Mayfield, for a 35-yard gain. From there, the Mountaineer trio of Richardson, Edwards and Devon Moore banged out the final 43 yards of the drive on the ground, capped by Richardson’s six-yard scoring run off right tackle with 49 seconds to go before halftime. The Apps’ 11-play, 78-yard drive took 4:19 off the clock and assured them of taking a seven-point lead into the locker room.

THIRD QUARTER 4:22 UM Brad Listorti 17 pass from Liam Coen (Koepplin kick) FOURTH QUARTER 13:22 ASU Richardson 4 run (Rauch kick) 8:46 UM Koepplin 42 field goal 1:51 ASU Richardson 2 run (Rauch kick)

APPALACHIAN 14 • UMASS 7 0:49 TO GO • SECOND QUARTER After UMass knotted the contest at 14-14 with an 11-play, 81-yard scoring drive, ASU got the ball back on its own 29 with 4:12 left to play in the third quarter looking to put together a lengthy scoring drive of its own. Thanks in large part to Richardson, who amassed 48 of the ASU’s 71 yards on the possession, the Apps did just that, marching 71 yards in 13 plays. Richardson punctuated the scoring drive by powering four yards through the heart of the line and into the end zone for his 29th touchdown of the season, tying the NCAA Division I FCS record set by Colgate’s Jamaal Branch in 16 games in 2003. More imprtantly, Richardson’s third scoring run of the evening gave the Mountaineers a seven-point lead with 13:22 remaining in the ballgame.

APPALACHIAN 21 • UMASS 14 13:22 TO GO • FOURTH QUARTER When UMass cut the Mountaineers’ lead to 21-17 on a 42-yard Chris Koepplin field goal with 8:46 to go, Appalachian head coach Jerry Moore told quarterbacks coach Scott Satterfield, “We’ve got to run eight minutes off that clock.” Satterfield replied, “We’ve got to score.” Moore agreed. “I didn’t say don’t score. But we need to run some time off the clock.” Richardson, who ran 11 times for 48 of ASU’s 80 yards on the drive, made sure the Apps accomplished both goals. In all, thanks to Richardson’s running and a key third-down completion from Edwards to fellow freshman Josh Johnson, Appalachian ran 6:46 off the clock on the victory-sealing drive, which culminated with Richardson’s fourth touchdown of the evening. The two-yard dive was also Richardson’s 30th TD of the season, setting a new NCAA Division I FCS single-season record. Following Richardson’s score, UMass’ last-ditch effort was thwarted when Corey Lynch picked off a Liam Coen pass with 42 seconds to play.

Armanti Edwards turned in the one of the top individual performances in NCAA Division I-AA/FCS postseason history in ASU’s 55-35 win over Richmond in the 2007 national semifinals. Edwards’ 313 rushing yards were the most by a quarterback in NCAA Division I (FCS or FBS) history (regular season or postseason) while his 495 yards of total offense, four touchdowns scored and seven TDs responsible for were all ASU postseason records.

ATTENDANCE: 23,010 Unlike its first two trips to Chattanooga for the national championship game, Appalachian wasted no time in getting on the board in the 2007 title tilt, as it forced Delaware to punt after a three-and-out on the opening possession then promptly marched 58 yards in just six plays to take a 7-0 lead. Buoyed by spectacular downfield blocking from his offensive lineman, Richardson took a screen pass from Armanti Edwards and needed to beat just one UD defender at the goal line.

APPALACHIAN 7 • DELAWARE 0 10:47 TO GO • FIRST QUARTER Delaware appeared to grab its first momentum of the evening when future first-round draft pick Joe Flacco tossed a 39-yard touchdown to Mark Duncan with 1:10 remaining before halftime, seemingly cutting ASU’s lead to two touchdowns heading into the locker room. However, just 26 seconds later, the Mountaineers took the momentum back for good when Edwards found Dexter Jackson for a 72-yard touchdown that extended the ASU advantage back to 21 points. Delaware would get no closer the rest of the evening.

With Richardson and the majority of ASU’s starters watching from the sideline, senior Trey Elder capped the rout with a 53-yard touchdown scamper that brought the Black and Gold contingent pouring out of the stands and onto the sidelines with more than three minutes still to play. In his last collegiate game, Richardson came up huge once again on FCS football’s biggest stage, finishing with 145 total yards (118 rushing, 27 receiving) and three of ASU’s nine touchdowns but the most memorable play of the evening was undoubtedly the touchdown run by Elder, who was ASU’s starter behind center in the 2005 title-game victory over Northern Iowa but is best known for the unselfishness that he displayed in backing up a pair of all-America signal-callers in Richie Williams and Armanti Edwards during his four years in the Black and Gold.

APPALACHIAN 42 • DELAWARE 14 6:02 TO GO • FOURTH QUARTER

With a 21-point lead early in the third quarter, Appalachian methodically marched down the field and capped a 14-play, 67-yard drive with an eight-yard touchdown pass from Edwards to Richardson. Richardson accounted for 29 of the drive’s 67 yards, including the eight-yard touchdown play in which he snuck out of the backfield and down the left sideline completely unnoticed by the Blue Hen defense for what might have been the easiest of his 74 career scores. Richardson’s eighth touchdown in three national championship games came on a six-yard run midway through the fourth quarter. Richardson was the workhorse once again on the scoring drive, as he picked up 51 yards on the possession and went over the 100-yard rushing plateau for the 19th time in his illustrious career.

HISTORY AND TRADITIONS

YOSEF

osef is mountain talk for “yourself,” with the idea being that if you are an Appalachian alumnus, fan or friend and have a heart filled with black and gold, you are Yosef.

HISTORY AND TRADITIONS

In preparing the layout for the 1942 edition of Appalachian’s annual yearbook, The Rhododendron,

editor James Storie and associate editor Elizabeth South (who later married in June 1942) were talking with freshman Lloyd S. Isaacs and Bill Mitchell of Observer Publishing about being one picture short of a perfectly balanced annual.

The result of their chatter was the creation of a character named Dan’l Boone Yoseff from Appalachian.

He was presented as a member of the 1941-42 freshman class.

Each member of the foursome deflected credit for the creation of Yosef. Although called the

Mountaineers, Appalachian had no mascot prior to Yosef. There were no plans in 1942 for Yosef to continue and evolve into what he is today.

His initial publication was such a hit that students went so far as to want to order picture packages

of Yosef instead of pictures of themselves. Undoubtedly, the caricature, the name and the idea appealed to Appalachian students.

There is a controversy as to where the original image of Yosef came from, and who was responsible for

the picture. Accounts mention having a bookstore staff member generate a sketch, but an artist in Charlotte has also been credited with the creation of the mountain man.

The next mention of the fictional character

came during the years of 1946-49 when Yoseff served as a guest editorial writer in the student newspaper (The Appalachian). He wrote using mountain colloquialism with a penchant for misspelled words.

Yoseff dropped the

second “f” and became Yosef in January of 1947. On Nov. 22, 1947, the University sponsored a Mr. and

YOSEF THROUGH THE YEARS

Mrs. Yosef contest. Skills needed for the titles included hog and chicken calling. The first mention of Yosef as the mascot of the Mountaineers is a picture in the March 12, 1948 edition of The Appalachian. The photo tabbed him as a perennial freshman. In 1949, John Geffrich, a 48year-old World War II veteran, was one of the first Yosef mascots. Geffrich helped establish a lineage of male undergraduates

portraying a bearded man with coveralls, a pipe and a straw hat. The addition of a musket and a black-and-gold pick-up truck called the “Yosef Mobile” came along through the generations of Yosef. In the early 1980s opinions began to

sound that Yosef was too ugly and that his appearance needed to be altered. The need for a more dignified mascot, away from the slouchy, flea-bitten character, was evident. Prior to the 1983-84 academic year, a committee comprised of university students, staff and faculty members modernized Yosef’s look through a cartoon-type head and body.

ivalries are what make college football the intense event that it is and Appalachian participates in

the country.

Appalachian State and Western

Carolina have clashed on the gridiron 75 times. Leading the all-time series by a margin of 56-18-1, Appalachian has dominated the rivalry for most of its duration, but in 1976, the clash between the Mountain neighbors gained an added dimension with the development of the Old Mountain Jug.

Prior to the 1976 matchup, dialogue

between Yosef Club Director Wayne Clawson and Cat Club Director Tom Bommer developed with hopes to heighten the rivalry between the foes. Clawson and Bommer promoted the jug idea to alumni, while Appalachian sports information Director Rick Layton and Western Carolina SID Steve White were charged with drumming up media exposure for it.

Appalachian bookstore manager Roby Triplett donated the Jug, which weighs

approximately 25 pounds. Capped with a traditional cork, it is a replica of one used to transport homemade corn whiskey. His wife, the late Dee Triplett, a science and biology teacher at Hardin Park Elementary School in Boone, painted the Jug gold with the purple Catamount on one side and the black Mountaineer on the other side.

OLD MOUNTAIN JUG

Excluding minor touchups, the Jug and its logos have not been altered since their creation.

With the winner of the annual fray retaining possession of the Jug until the

next year’s matchup, the trophy has made Boone its nearly permanent home, as Appalachian holds a commanding 28-7 advantage over Western Carolina since the inception of the Battle for the Old Mountain Jug in 1976.

After winning four of the first five battles for the Jug, ASU dropped four in a row to

WCU from 1981-84. Head coach Sparky Woods helped the Mountaineers return the jug to Boone for an impressive string of 13-consecutive wins from 1985-97 that carried into the tenure of present ASU head coach, Jerry Moore.

Western Carolina put a halt to the ASU win streak by handing the Apps a 23-6

setback in 1998. Appalachian returned the Jug to Boone in 1999 and successfully defended it for five-straight years before the Catamounts took back possession for just the second time in two decades with a 30-27 triumph in 2004.

Western’s possession of the Jug was short-lived once again, as Appalachian took

RETIRED NUMBERS NO. 23 JOHN SETTLE

HISTORY AND TRADITIONS

n Nov. 22, 1986, before his last regular-season game at Kidd

Brewer Stadium, the legendary John Settle became the first ASU football player to have his number (23) retired.

Settle’s career established him

as Appalachian’s all-time leader in almost every rushing category. Settle displayed courage every step of the way. His pride and respect for the game set the standard of excellence by which all Mountaineer athletes, past, present and future, strive to perpetuate.

From 1983 through 1986,

Settle graced the Appalachian backfield with steadfast courage and determination. He finished his career as the school’s all-time leading rusher with 4,409 yards and 43 touchdowns. He presently holds 24 Appalachian

records. At the time of his departure from Boone, he was the third-ranked rusher in NCAA Division I-AA football history.

Settle, a criminal justice major while at Appalachian, was named the Southern

Conference Player and Male Athlete of the Year as a senior, after rushing for 1,661 yards and 20 touchdowns. One of the highlights of his season was his five-touchdown day in the Homecoming victory over Davidson on Nov. 4, 1986.

The two-time All-American had a knack for rising to the occasion in the most

important games. In Appalachian’s first NCAA I-AA Playoff game in school history, on Nov. 29, 1986, Settle dazzled the crowd with 236 yards on 37 carries and a touchdown in the 28-26 defeat to Nicholls State.

His excellence continued at the professional level with the Atlanta Falcons. In

1988, Settle became the first rookie free agent in NFL history to gain over 1,000 yards in a season. During that year, he gained 1,594 total yards (1,024 rushing and 570 receiving) and was voted to the Pro Bowl, the all-star game of the NFL, in Honolulu, Hawaii. His fabled playing days came to a close with the Washington Redskins. He was rewarded for his hard work with a 1991 Super Bowl championship ring with the Redskins.

Settle’s career continued to evolve as his playing days paved the way for a

future in coaching. He began his coaching career by assisting with running backs at Appalachian in 1994. From 1995-1998, Settle served as an offensive assistant for the Cleveland Browns and later the Baltimore Ravens. His duties in the NFL involved coordinating the game plan and working with the running backs, special teams, and strength and conditioning. His experienced football mind was also used in the evaluation of personnel. www.PlayAtTheRock.com

at Fresno State. After eight seasons at FSU, he spent five seasons in the same position at the University of Wisconsin. In 2011, he returned to North Carolina as the running backs coach of the NFL’s Carolina Pathers. Of his time in Boone, Settle says: “Appalachian helped lay the foundation for who and what I am today. As time moves on, I appreciate the days I spent in Boone more and more. The

people, the fans, the University and the family environment that surrounds the community are something that I have not encountered since my days in Boone. John Settle enjoyed a six-year NFL career and is now in his first season as running backs coach for the Carolina Panthers.

I hope that someday I will have the opportunity to give back to a place that has given so much to me.”

NO. 32 DEXTER COAKLEY

erhaps the most decorated player in the illustrious history of Appalachian State University football, Appalachian retired Dexter Coakley’s No. 32 on April 19, 2005. From 1993-96, Coakley set or tied six school records, earned a slew of personal accolades and helped lead Appalachian to 32 victories and two NCAA I-AA playoff appearances. The Mt. Pleasant, S.C. native made an immediate impact on the ASU squad, as he led the Apps with 141 total tackles as a freshman in 1993, en route to Southern Conference Freshman of the Year honors. Things only got better for the hard-hitting linebacker, both individually and for the Mountaineers. In 1994, he racked up 155 tackles to earn the first of three SoCon Defensive Player of the Year awards. Perhaps more importantly, he helped lead ASU back to the I-AA playoffs after a oneyear hiatus and a first-round, overtime Appalachian retired Dexter Coakley’s victory over No. 7 New Hampshire No. 32 on April 19, 2005. before falling at second-ranked Boise State in the national quarterfinals. As a junior, Coakley led his squad to a perfect 11-0 regular season, becoming just the ninth team in 30 years to claim the SoCon crown with an undefeated, untied league record (8-0). For the second-straight season, Coakley hauled in SoCon Defensive Player of the Year and first-team All-America accolades after racking up 150 tackles. He also earned the inaugural Buck Buchanan Award, given to the top defensive player in I-AA. Coakley capped his second-to-none collegiate career in 1996 by leading Appalachian in tackles for the third time with 166. He earned SoCon Defensive Player of the Year and first-team All-America honors for the third time, while also claiming his second-straight Buck Buchanan Award. He remains the only two-time winner of I-AA football’s most prestigious defensive honor and the only Mountaineer to garner AllAmerica status for three years. No. 32 remains ASU’s all-time career leader in total tackles (616), solo tackles (350), assisted tackles (266), double-figure tackle games (38) and 20-tackle games (7). He is tied for the school mark with two-consecutive 20-tackle games, a feat he achieved twice, versus Georgia Southern and Marshall in 1995 and against East Tennessee State and Furman in ‘96. Following the end of his career in the High Country, Coakley became the secondhighest drafted player in Appalachian history when the Dallas Cowboys selected him in the third round (65th overall pick) of the 1997 NFL Draft. His impact in the NFL was as immediate as his impact at ASU, as he started all 16 games for the Cowboys as a rookie in ‘97. In 127 games as a pro, he has registered 687 tackles, 10 interceptions, seven sacks and four forced fumbles and has missed only one game in eight seasons due to injury. He earned Pro Bowl appearances in 1999, 2001 and ‘03. After spending the first eight years of his professional career in Dallas, Coakley spent the 2005 and ‘06 seasons with the St. Louis Rams. He retired from the NFL in 2007. In recognition of his outstanding collegiate career, Coakley was inducted into the Southern Conference Hall of Fame on May 24, 2011 and became the first Mountaineer inducted in the College Football Hall of Fame on July 16, 2011. An active member of the community, Coakley received the Cowboys Unsung Hero Award in 2002, as selected by his teammates and fans. He has been involved with many charitable programs throughout and following his professional football career, including the Salvation Army, the Children’s Cancer Fund Fashion Show, Dallas Cowboys Courage House, and Let Us Play!

HISTORY AND TRADITIONS

s the Appalachian State football team departed Johnson City, Tenn. on Sept. 30, 2000, the most shocking thing to happen that night had been Joe Burchette’s evolution from third-string quarterback to starter in a 30-13 win at East Tennessee State. As October began a couple of hours later, however, who took the bulk of snaps from center was the farthest thing from any Mountaineer’s mind. As the ASU buses rounded a corner on Route 105 in Foscoe six miles from home around 12:30 in the morning, they came upon a fiery accident that appeared to involve a van and a car. Not long after the buses came to a stop, someone on the lead bus recognized the van as the one transporting the football team’s student trainers, managers and videographers. Shouts of, “That’s our van!” were followed quickly by the buses’ occupants scrambling to get to the van. The first three people out of the bus were offensive coaches Stacy Searels, Rob Best and Shawn Elliott. “The car was engulfed in flames,“ said Best, “and our biggest concern was that it might spread to the van.” According to the North Carolina Highway Patrol, a 1989 Audi station wagon driven by John V. White, III crossed the center line going about 60 miles per hour in a 35 mph zone and hit the 2000 Dodge Ram van head on. The car immediately burst into flames and White is believed to have died instantly. Head coach Jerry Moore attempted to help the driver of the car, but “there was nothing anyone could do. The whole car was just a mass of flames, and he was pinned in there.” As Searels, Best and Elliott reached the van, they found that two of the 13 passengers were still in the van: assistant athletic trainer Tony Barnett, the driver of the van, and Searels’ student assistant coach Jonathan Taylor. Searles ripped open the mangled door to the van and pulled Taylor out. Barnett was trapped by a tangled seat belt and an inflated air bag. “Tony was pinned in the seat,” said Best. “Stacy dragged Jonathan out and Shawn and I both grabbed the driver’s seat and yanked it back to try and get Tony free. Stacy came back and helped us get him out.” “Stacy got in there and all but ripped the whole seat out of that van,” added Moore. “Fire was everywhere, but he had Tony in his arms and was getting him back toward the buses.” The 13 passengers were now out of the van, but in varying stages of injury, pain and shock, and many were still dangerously close to the burning wreck. “When we first ran up, there were people just kind of lying on the ground,” said sophomore wide receiver Joe Hamilton, “we grabbed a couple of the people and moved them away from the scene.” Jake Stroot, team video coordinator and Appalachian Sports Network sideline reporter, had managed to get out of the van, but could get no further. “I got out of the van and I couldn’t walk,” said Stroot. “(Neil Cornatzer, Aaron Dobbins and Daniel Jeremiah) carried me like 50 yards away.” “About four to six minutes after we got them out,” said Best, “the van ignited. (The fire) spread pretty fast.” Best called the scene “unbelievable” as head athletic trainer Andy Massey examined the injured and the players attended to them. “It was a complete role reversal,” said Best. “The players had the kids who were in the van wrapped up in blankets and were applying pressure to stop bleeding wounds. The response and composure a lot of those guys showed was just amazing.” “They worked on me for six years now to try and keep me on the field,” said senior wide receiver Joey Gibson, who missed the 1999 season with a knee injury. “It was kind of a flip to see us working on them.” “Everybody who was out there helping, being nothing but 10 or 15 yards away from that van, was at a risk,” said Moore. “They ought to hang a medal around everyone’s neck.” “That was hero stuff going on,” said defensive coordinator John Wiley. When EMS services arrived minutes later, many of the injured were prepared to be loaded onto ambulances. Barnett and Taylor were the first to be transported out. Taylor was taken to Cannon Memorial Hospital and life-flighted to Johnson City (Tenn.) Memorial Hospital, while Barnett was admitted at Watauga Medical Center. Of the other 11 passengers, five were taken to WMC and five to CMH. Only the frontseat passenger was spared a hospital visit, due to a seatbelt and air bag. Most of the injuries consisted of broken bones and cuts. In all, only seven stayed the night in the hospital and after 10 days only Taylor remained hospitalized in serious, but stable condition with a severe concussion and some broken bones. After the injured were taken away, the team buses were allowed through the accident scene to get home at about 2 a.m. A quiet 10 minute ride was followed by a team meeting. Before any of the equipment was unloaded the players and coaches gathered in the Mountaineer

Room in Owens Field House and prayed. Some prayed silently, while others verbalized their hopes and wishes. That early morning meeting is hardly the end of the story, however. Coaches still needed to coach and players still needed to play, and those were not the easiest things to do for awhile. Athletics director Roachel Laney spent every day for the next week at the different hospitals, as did Massey and the coaching staff. Someone from the ASU football team visited Johnson City daily to be with Jonathan and his family. The staff also learned the nature of their relationship with the rest of the Southern Conference coaches and teams. East Tennessee State made extra copies of their game films to replace the ASU copies lost in the accident. Also, the ETSU branch of Fellowship of Christian Athletes met Taylor’s mother and held prayer meetings at Johnson City Memorial every night. On top of all this, the team had to prepare to face sixth-ranked and SoCon rival Furman the next Saturday on regional television and deal with the attention from media. “I hear about a different hero every day,” said Moore after listening to different people’s stories. “We’re grateful and fortunate that we didn’t lose anyone. But one life was lost and our hearts and prayers are with that family, too.” “Everyone had their own heroes,” said Stroot. “Everyone had two or three guys helping them out. It’s really a big family. You realize how much everyone cares for you.” It was an emotional week, which was capped by an 18-17, come-from-behind win over the Paladins. As the final seconds ticked off the clock, Searels searched for a cell phone on the field. Finding one, he dialed the number for Taylor’s room in Johnson City. After getting Jonathan on the phone Searles proclaimed, “We won, Jonathan. We did it. We did it for you.” “I’ll never be prouder of a program, no matter what happens on the field,” said Moore, long before the Furman contest. “They’ve learned a lot about priorities and how fragile life and health can be. They’ve showed me they have qualities that will serve them well a long time after they don’t play football games anymore.” For their actions that night, Searels, Best and Elliott were presented with the NCAA Award of Valor. The award is presented only in years when there is a worthy candidate or candidates. It recognizes a current intercollegiate athletics coach or administrator, or a current or former varsity letter winner at an NCAA institution, who, when confronted with a situation involving personal danger, averted or minimized potential disaster by courageous action or noteworthy bravery. In all, the NCAA Award of Valor has only been presented 13 times since its inception in 1974. Best, who left ASU after the 2002 season to be the offensive coordinator at the University at Buffalo, is currently the head coach at Pilot Point High School in suburban Dallas, Texas. Elliott and Searels both serve as offensive-line coaches at college-football powers — Elliott at South Carolina dn Searels at Texas.

BRIAN STOKES

any events on the gridiron during Appalachian’s run to consecutive NCAA Division I national championships in 2005 and ‘06 were described as heroic. However, ASU benefitted from the presence of a true hero on the field and in the locker room during the championship campaigns. Brian Stokes came to ASU in 2005 as a 26-year-old freshman. Prior to his arrival in the High Country, Stokes spent five years in the United States Marine Corps, serving deployments to over 10 countries during his military career, including two tours of duty in Iraq. During Stokes’ second tour in Iraq in 2004, the former all-state linebacker and fullback at Williams H.S. in Burlington, N.C. served in over 200 combat missions, including the invasion of Fullujah. A sergeant in the 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marines, Stokes was the commanding officer in a humvee near Lutayfiah in August 2004 when his convoy was the target of two 200-kilogram roadside bombs, which blew the 300-pound doors off Stokes’ humvee when detonated within yards of the armored vehicle. Everyone in the vehicle survived, but Stokes suffered shrapnel wounds in his right arm and lost the majority of hearing in his right ear. Following his release from active duty, Stokes and fellow Marine Wayne Norman enrolled at Appalachian, where head coach Jerry Moore welcomed the heroes with open arms. Both were on the field for the opening kickoff in the 2005 home opener versus Coastal Carolina. Stokes was a regular contributor on special teams and played an important role in the Mountaineers winning their first-ever national title. Little did Stokes know that just one week prior to the 21-16 victory over Northern Iowa in the 2005 NCAA DIvision I-AA national championship game, he was awarded a Purple Heart for the injuries he sustained in the roadside bomb attack 16 months earlier. He wasn’t aware of the recognition until the Purple Heart arrived in the mail in February 2006. Due to injury-riddled stints as a member of the football programs at East Carolina and Elon following Stokes’ standout highschool career, the former Shrine Bowl participant was granted just two years of eligibility at ASU by the NCAA. He returned for his final gridiron campaign in 2006 and again was a key special-teams performer for Appalachian’s second-straight national title march. Stokes finished his career with eight tackles in 29 games and capped his football-playing days with an appearance in the Texas vs. The Nation All-Star Classic in El Paso, Texas. His story has been told in dozens of newspapers and on television programs across the region and nation, highlighted by an appearance on CBS’ Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson in 2005. He was married in July 2007 and graduated with Purple Heart recipient Brian Stokes a degree in criminal justice in 2008. A was a special-teams standout for the movie chronicling Stokes’ journey is in early Mountaineers in 2005 and ‘06. production stages.

HISTORY AND TRADITIONS

ALL-SOUTHERN CONFERENCE

156

Emmitt Hamilton was the first Appalachian running back to earn all-Southern Conference recognition, doing so in 1975 and ‘77.

Rico Mack (99) and Avery Hall (94) combined to earn first-team all-SoCon plaudits seven times. Hall is ASU’s only four-time first-team all-SoCon selection.

Chip Hooks was a four-time all-SoCon honoree from 1991-94 — first-team as a freshman and junior, secondteam as a sophomore and senior.

Holding a 17-14 lead at the half, Appalachian exploded out of the tunnel after the intermission, scoring two touchdowns in the third quarter and three more in the fourth. It was a record-breaking day for the Mountaineers that included 35 first downs, 572 yards on the ground, and 654 total yards. The Mountaineer defense stunned the Bears by yielding just 59 rushing yards one week after the Bears received national fame by racking up 900 total yards of offense. Sophomore Emmitt Hamilton rushed for 215 yard and two touchdowns in his greatest performance in a Mountaineer jersey. The Mountaineers played before a stunned Lenoir-Rhyne crowd of 12,500 fans. The Bears’ frustration was evident when a bench-clearing brawl broke out with 16 seconds left in the contest.

APPS BREAK UP PAT ATTEMPT TO SAVE WIN APPALACHIAN 7, WESTERN KENTUCKY 6

Registering three interceptions, four fumble recoveries, and a blocked punt, Appalachian’s stellar defense came up with the winning plays all afternoon in a defensive battle. Midway through the third quarter, quarterback Steve Loflin hit Boone’s homegrown hero Richard Agle for a 78-yard pass and catch for their only touchdown of the day. Managing a shutout late in the fourth quarter, the Apps gave up a touchdown on Clarence Jackson’s one-yard plunge with 1:52 left in the contest to lead by one, at 7-6. The Hilltoppers decided to go for two and the win, which proved costly when the Mountaineer defense broke up the extra point pass attempt in the endzone to save the victory.

Backup quarterback Phil Coccioletti not only replaced injured Roscoe Batts in the third quarter, but took over the Mountaineers’ run-oriented “Y Offense” and converted it to a passing attack. Down 21-7 late in the third quarter, Coccioletti connected with split end Bob Steelman for a 35-yard touchdown. On Coccioletti’s second drive, he stunned the Terrier offense with another long ball connecting with Charlie Haugabrook for a 36-yard strike. He finished the drive with a one-yard dive into the endzone. Late in the fourth quarter, Coccioletti drove Appalachian deep in Wofford territory before Jim Tucker’s six-yard scamper for the go-ahead score. The Mountaineers balanced offense recorded 191 yards in the air and 190 on the ground. Place kicker Greg Clark was 4-for-4 on extra point tries.

Robbie Price put on an offensive show before 47,489 fans on hand at Williams-Brice Stadium, who saw seven scoring drives over 70 yards, four of which went longer than 80 yards in a 39-34 triumph over South Carolina. After South Carolina scooped up a Price fumble and returned it for the first points of the day, Appalachian got on the board with a 77-yard drive that was capped off by a John Craig score. The touchdown was especially sweet for Craig who began his career with the Gamecocks two years earlier. Appalachian led at the half, 24-14, but South Carolina came out quick in the third quarter, and reduced the ASU lead to four when Jeff Grantz scored from two yards out. Price answered with a 32-yard touchdown pass. However, South Carolina scored late in the third quarter to make it 30-27. The Gamecocks drove 81 yards take the lead, 34-30.

The Mountaineers used an element of surprise by utilizing the rushing game in a 35-27 win. Pussey connected on 16 passes for 231 yards and a touchdown, while Brown only put the ball in the air 13 times. Trailing 27-14 at halftime, it was the newly constructed wishbone formation that sparked a rally. The Mountaineers totaled 266 rushing yards in the victory. The Mountaineer defense allowed just 37 yards through the air and two first downs in the second half.

With 15,850 fans on hand to witness the tandem of Steve Brown and Rick Beasley play in their final game at Conrad Stadium, it was freshman Alvin Parker who stole the show in a 27-24 come from behind win. Beasley, who finished his career as the NCAA’s fifth all-time leading receiver, went down in the first quarter with an injury. Minus his top target, Brown was limited to 166 yards through the air. Fullback Pete Carmelo went down in the second half, so it was the 5-11, 185-pound Parker who got the call and became the first 100-yard rusher of the season for the Mountaineers.

In a game that both teams entered undefeated, placekicker Jerry Harmon proved to be the difference, converting a 47-yard field goal with 32 seconds left for the 23-21 victory over East Carolina. Sophomore Devon Ford worked his way through ECU’s touted “Wild Dogs” defense, amassing 231 all-purpose yards. The Mountaineers carried a 20-0 advantage into the locker room. The Pirates quickly countered in the third quarter behind Ken Strayhorn who rushed for two touchdowns bringing the deficit down to six points, at 20-14. ECU claimed the lead, at 21-20, midway through the fourth quarter when halfback Jimmy Howe scored on a 65-yard run. Late in the game, the Mountaineers took advantage of a short Pirate punt that gave them the ball on their own 45. The Apps used a pair of passes to set the stage for Harmon’s long field goal. John Craig (35), a transfer from South Carolina, scored ASU’s first touchdown and Robbie Price (5) threw for two touchdowns and ran for another in Appalachian’s 3934 win at Williams-Brice Stadium in 1975.

BACKUP QB LEADS MOUNTAINEERS OVER EAGLES APPALACHIAN 35, GEORGIA SOUTHERN 28

For nearly three quarters, it seemed as though Appalachian would pull off perhaps the biggest win ever by an NCAA Division I-AA school over a I-A opponent. But a 33-yard touchdown pass with just 38 seconds left to play gave perennial-power Auburn a narrow 22-15 win over the Mountaineers before 78,123 at Jordan-Hare Stadium. After Auburn took a 7-0 lead less than seven minutes in, Appalachian responded with 15-straight points to take an eight-point advantage deep into the third quarter. The Tigers evened the score at 15-15 late in the third period and marched 77 yards in just 1:04 to score the winning touchdown in the final minute. ASU out-gained Auburn 323-288 for the game and held AU to just 54 yard of offense in the first half.

ASU HOLDS ON FOR WIN OVER NO. 1 EAGLES APPALACHIAN 17, GEORGIA SOUTHERN 16

Appalachian forced four turnovers, including Corey Hall’s second interception as time expired, to claim a 17-16 win over No. 1 Georgia Southern before 19,981 at Kidd Brewer Stadium. The triumph was ASU’s second ever over a top-ranked team, almost five years to the day after it knocked off No. 1 Marshall at KBS. Without the benefit of an offensive touchdown, the Mountaineers ran out to a 17-0 lead. Weslan Hunter returned a fumble 43 yards for a score and Luke Manuel fell on another Eagle cough-up and the Apps took the seeminlgy comfortable 17-point lead with less than five minutes to play in the third quarter. However, the Eagles came back with a vengeance, scoring 16 points over a 12-minute span.

AUGUST 31, 2000

Backup signal-caller Bake Baker was called upon in the fourth quarter at Georgia Southern to create what head coach Jerry Moore dubbed a “spark.” A spark is what he got. Baker took over and led the Mountaineers on a 21-point rally with just over 10 minutes remaining in the contest. The Mountaineer offense was desperate for production. The defense was not much better, with five players sidelined with injuries. In his 10-plus minutes of action Baker converted three scoring drives, including the game-winner, a 68-yard pass and catch to Otis Smith with 3:13 remaining in the game. Baker ended the game 8-of-10 passing, for 159 yards and two touchdowns. Prior to his showing in Statesboro, he had completed just three passes in his career.

WAKE GOES DOWN AGAIN APPALACHIAN 20, WAKE FOREST 16

The win evened ASU head coach Jerry Moore’s record versus the Demon Deacons at 5-5-1. The Mountaineers dominated the first half, outgaining the Deacs 20749, but trailed 10-7 at the break, thanks to an 88-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by Wake’s John Stone. The score remained 10-7 heading into the final period and things looked bleak for the Apps, who lost starting quarterback Daniel Jeremiah to a knee injury on the first play of the second half.

ASU DOWNS DEACS IN OT FOR MOORE’S 100th WIN appalachian 30, WAKE FOREST 27 (OT)

Daniel Jeremiah’s one-yard touchdown run in overtime gave Appalachian head coach Jerry Moore his 100th career victory, a 30-27 triumph over Wake Forest in Winston-Salem. Moore’s 100th win was his fourth over Wake in 10 seasons at the helm of the Mountaineers. Appalachian jumped out to a 10-0 lead in the first quarter thanks to a 27-yard field goal by Stuart Jones and a 47-yard touchdown run by Terrence McCall. The Demon Deacons scored 17 of the game’s next 20 points to take a 17-13 advantage into the fourth quarter. After Jones’ third field goal of the game cut the ASU deficit to 17-16 early in the final period, Jeremiah hooked up with Joey Gibson for a 57-yard touchdown and a two-point conversion made it 24-17 ASU with 5:28 to go. However, Wake Forest responded with a 13-play, 74-yard drive, capped by a seven-yard touchdown pass from Brian Kuklick to Jammie Deese that tied the contest with only 53 seconds left to play.

Daniel Jeremiah’s one-yard touchdown plunge in overtime lifted Appalachian to a 30-27 victory at Wake Forest in 1998. The Mountaineers’ fourth win over WFU in 10 seasons was also head coach Jerry Moore’s 100th victory at ASU.

Junior quarterback Richie Williams rewrote the NCAA record book with his performance in Appalachian’s 30-29 triumph over No. 2 Furman at Kidd Brewer Stadium. Williams set NCAA all-divisions records by completing 28-straight passes at one point and 40-of-45 overall in the win. Despite Williams’ efforts, the Mountaineers found themselves trailing the Paladins by six points after Furman quarterback Ingle Martin connected with running back Cedrick Gipson on a 52-yard catch and run with 2:03 to go in the ball game. However, Williams saved his best for last, as he accounted for 78 yards on ASU’s final drive by completing 4-of-4 passes for 61 yards and running for 17 more, including a 13-yard keeper for the winning touchdown with 35 seconds remaining. In all, Williams threw for 413 yards and two touchdowns and tacked on 27 more yards on the ground to spark the victory, just one week removed from missing the Apps’ 41-34 win over Texas State with a sprained knee.

Appalachian came back from a pair of 21-point deficits to rally for a heart-stopping 42-41 victory at upstart Chattanooga in the 2010 season opener. ASU trailed 28-7 with less than two minuted remaining in the third quarter and 35-14 just six seconds into the final period before staging the improbable rally. The Mountaineers scored a total of five touchdowns in a 10:12 span, including the middle three in just 2:54 and the final four over a 7:51 stretch after UTC had regained a 21-point lead on the first play of the fourth quarter. Appalachian took its first lead of the game at 42-35 with 6:05 to go on a bizarre 33-yard touchdown reception by quarterback DeAndre Presley. The Mocs jumped offside on a third-and-one play from the UTC 29 yard line, giving Presley a free play. The junior threw a quick pass to Matt Cline, who was drilled by a Moc defender and fumbled. Presley picked up the loose ball and weaved his way through the UTC defense, picked up a number of key downfield blocks and scored the go-ahead touchdown from 33 yards out. However, Chattanooga responded by driving 86 yards in 11 plays to cut the deficit to 42-41. With a pair of UTC kickers having already combined to miss three extra points, the Mocs elected to go for two points and the potential victory but ASU’s Mark LeGree batted down a pass on the conversion attempt and Brian Quick recovered the ensuing onside kick to seal the win. www.GoASU.com

Filling in for an injured Richie Williams, backup quarterback Trey Elder threw a touchdown pass on his first play and ran for the game-winning score with 2:17 remaining in Appalachian’s 29-23 victory over Furman in the NCAA Division I-AA semifinals. Elder completed 12-of-17 passes for 165 yards and no interceptions and ran 12 times for 69 yards in relief of Williams, who left the contest midway through the first quarter with a left ankle injury. On his first play, Elder connected with Dexter Jackson for a 45-yard touchdown pass that gave the Mountaineers a 14-0 lead. However, Furman scored 23 of the next 30 points to take a 23-21 lead into halftime. The Paladins’ slim advantage stood up until Elder led the Apps on an 11-play, 67-yard drive, culminating with his one-yard touchdown plunge with just over two minutes to go. Led by quarterback Ingle Martin, the Paladins drove inside the ASU 40 with under a minute to play. But, on first-and-10 at the ASU 36, Mountaineer defensive end Jason Hunter hit Martin from behind, forcing the ball loose, which defensive tackle Omarr Byrom picked up and returned all the way to the Furman one yard line to stamp Appalachian’s ticket to its first-ever national championship game.

THE ANATOMY OF AN UPSET

Michigan came roaring back in the second half and took a 32-31 lead on a 54-yard touchdown run by Mike Hart with less than five minutes to play.

Things looked bleak for the Mountaineers when the Wolverines intercepted an Edwards pass on the first play after Hart’s touchdown, but freshman Brian Quick blocked a U-M field-goal attempt to give the Apps the ball back with 1:37 left to play.

THE AFTERMATH • Appalachian’s shocking win over college football’s all-time winningest program was the first ever for an NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision team over a nationally ranked D-I Football Bowl Subdivision opponent. • A crowd estimated to be as large as 10,000 welcomed the Mountaineers back to Kidd Brewer Stadium later that evening.

• Appalachian went on to post a 13-2 overall record and win its third-consecutive NCAA Division I Football national championship. • Michigan went on to post an 9-4 overall record and No. 18 ranking in the final 2007 AP poll. The Wolverines finished second in the Big Ten standings and defeated defending BCS national champion Florida and Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow, 41-35, in the Capital One Bowl on New Year’s Day.

• The victory prompted the Associated Press to change its 71-year-old policy and allow all Division I teams, regardless of subdivision, to receive votes in its Top 25 poll.

After a 46-yard pass from Chad Henne to Mario Manningham, Michigan had an opportunity to win the ballgame on a 37-yard field goal. However, Corey Lynch made the “block heard ‘round the world,” scooped up the loose ball and returned it 62 yards as the clock expired.

•

• The Apps were the darlings of the national media for weeks to come, highlighted by a Sept. 2, 2007 press conference that was televised live by ESPNEWS and Dexter Jackson’s appearance on the cover of the Sept. 10, 2007 edition of Sports Illustrated.

Edwards engineered a seven-play, 69-yard drive over the next 1:11 to set up Julian Rauch’s go-ahead field goal from 24 yards out with just 26 seconds remaining on the clock. Edwards completed 5-of-5 passes and accounted for all 69 yards on the drive (18 rushing, 51 passing).

www.GoASU.com

Thanks in large part to Dexter Jackson’s two touchdown catches and Armanti Edwards’ perfect first half (7-of-7 passing, 129 yards, 3 TD; eight rushes, 41 yards, TD), ASU jumped out to a stunning 28-14 advantage and led 28-17 at halftime.

KIDD BREWER STADIUM

HISTORY AND TRADITIONS

WELCOME TO

THE ROCK

ELEVATION:

3,333 FT.

APPALACHIAN’S RECORD AT HOME, 2003-10: football’s finest settings for a sporting venue, with ASU’s beautiful, modern campus and the natural beauty of the High Country serving as a backdrop. Officially opened on September 15, 1962 as Conrad Stadium, in honor of former University trustee and R.J. Reynolds executive William J. Conrad, the stadium was originally constructed with 10,000 permanent seats. Conrad Stadium was renamed on Sept. 3, 1988 in honor of Kidd Brewer, one of the most successful head coaches in Appalachian football history and a colorful part of North Carolina history. Brewer, a Winston-Salem, N.C., native who served as head football coach of the Mountaineers from 1935-38, complied a 30-5-3 overall mark in his four seasons at the helm of the Apps. An All-American at Duke, Brewer’s 1937 squad was unbeaten and unscored upon in the regular season. After leaving Appalachian, Brewer started a sales career, but shortly thereafter reported for active duty in World War II. He served as a Naval lieutenant in the Pacific. After the war, Brewer was secretary to U.S. Sen. Josiah W. Bailey (D-N.C.). Upon Bailey’s death in office Brewer served his replacement, Sen. William B. Umstead, as administrative assistant. Brewer returned to North Carolina and ran for lieutenant governor in 1956. Between campaigns for governor (1964) and state court of appeals (1968), he made a name for himself as a developer, insurance salesman and philanthropist. The stadium has undergone many face lifts since its construction, but still stands as a beacon to the Mountaineer faithful. Seating capacity was expanded from its original 10,000 to 18,000 with the addition of 8,000 seats on the stadium’s west side following the 1978 season. Completion of an extensive renovation and restoration project on the original 10,000 seats in 1995 readjusted the permanent seating capacity to 16,650.

The capacity remained at 16,650 until 2008, when a 4,400-seat upper deck on the stadium’s east side and the renovation of handicapped seating areas upped the amount of permanent seats to 20,150. In 2009, The Rock wrapped up its most extensive facelift to date. Following the 2006 season, the KBS press box was removed to make way for the 120,000-square-foot Appalachian Athletics Center. The Appalachian Athletics Center, which was officially unveiled on Sept. 12, 2009 when ASU hosted McNeese State , houses state-of-theart strength and conditioning, athletic training and academic facilities to benefit all 20 of Appalachian’s varsity sports, as well as extensive locker rooms, meeting space and offices for ASU football and coaches and centralized offices for athletics administrators, as well as premium stadium seating in the way of 18 luxury suites, 600 club seats and spacious club-level and Chancellor’s Box areas that offer spectacular views of the playing surface and campus and upped the permanent seating capacity to 21,650. Other stadium enhancements throughout the years included the addition of a state-of the-art “AppVision” videoboard that was added in 1999 and enlarged prior to the 2001 season. In 2008, the “AppVision” videoboard was outfitted with a new widescreen display that is nearly twice the size of the previous screen. Kidd Brewer Stadium’s playing field has also been on the cutting edge throughout its history. In 1970, the stadium’s original natural grass was replaced with the Carolinas’ first-ever artificial surface. In 2003, Appalachian became one of the initial collegiate programs in the country to install FieldTurf as its football surface and, in 2011, Kidd Brewer Stadium became the first venue in the nation to feature FieldTurf’s new ‘Revolution’ playing surface. For much more on Kidd Brewer Stadium and the Appalachian Athletics Center, see pp. 4-7.

espite the standard salutation afforded to all visitors to Kidd Brewer Stadium, The Rock has offered anything but a warm welcome to opponents since it opened as Conrad Stadium on Sept. 15, 1962. One of the most picturesque settings in all of college football, Kidd Brewer Stadium also stakes claim to being one of the toughest venues in the nation for a visiting team to leave with a victory. The 2011 season is the 50th for the venerable stadium, where Appalachian boasts a 209-62-5 all-time record, including wins in 55 of its last 59 home games. In addition to Mountaineer victories, Appalachian faithful enjoy one of the nation’s premier gameday atmospheres at Kidd Brewer Stadium. Since the beginning of the 2005 season, ASU boasts an average regular-season home attendance of 26,350, a mark which comes in at nearly 140 percent of KBS’s average official seating capacity during that time. The stadium’s capacity was 16,650 until 2007, jumped to 20,150 in ‘08 when a 4,400-seat upper deck opened on the stadium’s east side and rose to its current capacity of 21,650 in 2009 when premium seating in the newly constructed Appalachian Athletics Center added another 1,500 seats to the facility. ASU has led the nation in regular-season attendance each of the past four seasons. In 2010, a school-record 29,449 fans per game crammed into The Rock for six regular-season contests, including a school-record 31,531 for ASU’s homecoming win over No. 19 Elon. Appalachian topped the 30,000 mark for the first time in 2008 with 30,718 for the home opener versus Jacksonville and 30,931 for a nationally televised Halloween night showdown with No. 3 Wofford. Reserved seating for all six regular-season home games in ‘08 sold out weeks in advance of the home opener. A multi-purpose facility that is also home to ASU’s field hockey and men’s and women’s track and field programs, Kidd Brewer Stadium also boasts one of college

ASU YEAR-BY-YEAR RECORDS AT KBS

In 1970, the natural grass playing field was removed from Conrad Stadium and replaced with an artificial surface, the first in the Carolinas.

In 1978, the stadium underwent a massive renovation which included an 8,000-seat expansion and new press box/chancellor’s suite on the stadium’s west side.

Stadium capacity jumped to 18,000 following the extensive renovations in 1978. Another restoration project in 1995 dropped capacity to 16,650.

Re-named Kidd Brewer Stadium in 1988, much of the facility remained largely unchanged from 1978 until the beginning of the 21st century. However, additional renovations became necessary when Appalachian began drawing crowds in excess of 20,000 on a regular basis.

Active players in bold. To be included in this list, players must have been a member of an active, regular-season NFL roster. Please contact the ASU sports information office with any additions to this list. When the Carolina Panthers traded up to select Armanti Edwards (left) with the 89th overall pick of the 2010 NFL Draft, Edwards became only the fifth Mountaineer ever selected as high as the third round. In 2011, a school-record three former Mountaineers were selected in the NFL Draft (Mark LeGree, Daniel Kilgore and D.J. Smith). ASU had as many or more draftees than 42 of the 66 programs that play in automatic-qualifying conferences for the Bowl Championship Series. See the inside front cover for all six former Mountaineers currently in the NFL.

NCAA DIVISION I NATIONAL CHAMPIONS: 2005, 2006, 2007

APPALACHIAN STATE UNIVERSITY

WHO WE ARE

Nestled in the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, Appalachian State University combines the best attributes of a small liberal arts college with those of a large research university. Known for its value and affordability, Appalachian enrolls about 17,200 students and offers more than 140 undergraduate and graduate majors. Small classes and close interactions between faculty and students create a strong sense of community, which has become an Appalachian hallmark.

EDUCATING NORTH CAROLINA’S CITIZENS AND LEADERS

Appalachian State University is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Boone, N.C. At an elevation of 3,333 feet, Boone began as a frontier outpost named after pioneer Daniel Boone, who first explored the area in the 1760s. Boone now attracts those seeking a breathtaking location, adventure and a quality education. Appalachian is a member of the 16-campus University of North Carolina system and offers a challenging learning experience. The university combines a smalltown atmosphere with a strong academic reputation. Appalachian’s academics are supported by an accomplished faculty, close, personal interaction between students and faculty, and intimate class sizes that average 25 students. Originally founded as a teachers college, Appalachian now cultivates leaders in business, science, the arts, communication, music, nursing, education and other careers. Innovation and creativity are hallmarks of Appalachian graduates, many of whom are leaders in communities in North Carolina and around the world. Appalachian also emphasizes the importance of sustainability and service to communities, both locally and globally. Today, Appalachian is a leader in the fields of energy-focused green technology and the health sciences. Consistently ranked among U.S. News and World Report’s best public universities in the Southeast, Appalachian is also noted as a “best value” by Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine and other publications. Appalachian’s 411-acre main campus includes 19 academic buildings, 20 residence halls, four dining facilities and 11 recreational and athletic facilities. Appalachian also operates a living-learning center in New York City and off-campus programs in 10 counties through collaboration with area community colleges. Appalachian supports a broad-based athletics program, featuring 10 men’s and 10 women’s intercollegiate teams. The Mountaineers hold NCAA Division I status and have been members of the Southern Conference since 1971. The Mountaineers won their 31st Southern Conference Commissioner’s Cup for overall excellence in men’s athletics during the 2010-11 academic year. Appalachian has claimed six-consecutive Commissioner’s Cups and eight total Germann Cups, recognizing overall excellence in women’s athletics. In football, the Mountaineers won three consecutive NCAA Division I FCS national championship titles in 2005, 2006 and 2007. Appalachian is the only school to ever win both the Commissioner’s Cup and the Germann Cup in the same academic year. Since joining the Southern Conference, the Mountaineers have earned league titles in football, men’s and women’s basketball, volleyball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track, wrestling, baseball, men’s soccer and men’s tennis. Nearly 35 percent of Appalachian student-athletes earn a place on the department’s Honor Roll, with a minimum GPA of 3.25. Five athletic programs have received NCAA Public Recognition Awards for their Academic Progress Rate scores being ranked among the nation’s top 10 percent.

APPALACHIAN ATHLETICS MISSION STATEMENT

The Department of Athletics at Appalachian State University believes in maintaining the intercollegiate athletics program as an integral part of the University’s overall program of education, with emphasis on and priority given to the high academic quality and standards and the complete development of the student. Appalachian State University provides opportunity and encouragement for student-athletes to progress toward degrees of their choice and to develop athletic abilities in an environment consistent with high standards of academic scholarship, leadership and institutional loyalty. The Department of Athletics is committed to ensuring the general welfare of the student-athlete and to encouraging the highest standards of sportsmanship on behalf of student-athletes, the student body and the University’s supporters. The intercollegiate athlete representing ASU is both a bona-fide student pursuing a degree program and an amateur competitor. Appalachian Athletics is committed to insuring equitable recruitment, participation and treatment of individuals including members of under-represented populations through its athletics administration, staff, coaches, programs and policies. The University’s policy of non-discrimination represents a moral and ethical, not merely a legal, imperative. The University has determined that its athletics program will meet the necessary qualifications, guidelines and funding to hold membership in Division I of the NCAA. The athletics administration, the faculty athletics representative and the Athletics Council work together to insure that all teams and coaches follow the rules and regulations governing this division. A sound program of intercollegiate athletics should benefit the institution through its effects on students, alumni ad the institution itself. Specifically, it should maintain and improve the loyalty and esprit de corps of the student body, and in strengthening the pride and enthusiasm of the alumni; it should serve as a favorable public relations factor and provide benefits to the participants.

APPALACHIAN ATHLETICS DIVERSITY STATEMENT

Appalachian athletics promotes an inclusive culture that fosters equitable participation for student-athletes and equitable career opportunities for coaches, administrators and support staff from diverse backgrounds and perspectives.

BOONE

NORTH CAROLINA Boone lies in a small valley in the heart of the Southern Appalachians. It is named after the hunter and explorer Daniel Boone, who spent time in the region during the 1760s. Watauga County was formed in 1849 and the Town of Boone incorporated in 1872. Among its accolades are inclusion in National Geographic Adventure magazine’s “Best Places to Live and Play,” Norman Crampton’s “100 Best Small Towns in America,” USA Today’s “10 Great Small Towns with Huge Backyards” and U.S. News and World Report’s “10 Best Places to Retire in the U.S.” Boone is a college town, home to Appalachian State University. Originally Watauga Academy, the institution was formed to educate the mountain children and to ultimately prepare teachers for service through western North Carolina. It became Appalachian State Teachers College in 1929 and joined the University of North Carolina system in 1971. The university serves as a top economic driver followed by a combination of tourism, small business and residential home construction. The Boone area is characterized by mountain culture and casual living. Outdoor activities, cultural events, local dining and unique shops attract visitors from all over the world year-round. From breathtaking scenic views to Boone’s eclectic downtown area, known as King Street, there is something for everyone. One of the highlights of downtown Boone is the university’s Turchin Center for the Visual Arts. It features six gallery spaces and a community education and outreach program. Its exhibitions focus on a blend of recent and historically important artwork and feature nationally and internationally renowned artists as well as many of the finest artists of the region. A wide array of quality arts and cultural events enhance the Boone community. The university’s month-long celebration of performing and visual arts, known as An Appalachian Summer Festival, has brought notable performers such as Paul Taylor Dance Company, London City Opera, Charlie Daniels and the Glenn Miller Orchestra. During the academic year, Appalachian hosts the Performing Arts Series with artists such as Garrison Keillor and the National Symphony Orchestra. Boone offers an uncommon quality of life — that’s why many visitors come for a weekend and stay for a lifetime.

WHAT’S VISIBLE FROM KIDD BREWER STADIUM… State’s Largest Wind Turbine This community-scale, 100-kilowatt wind turbine stands 153 feet and feeds enough electricity directly to the grid to power 15 homes. It was paid for primarily through student funds and in partnership with the campus utility, New River Light and Power. Aside from producing clean energy, the turbine serves as an educational monument to Appalachian’s ethic of sustainability. Howard’s Knob Located just a half mile from downtown Boone, this peak has an elevation of 4,420 feet. It was named for Benjamin Howard, a Revolutionary War loyalist who fled to a cave there to escape American patriots. Rich Mountain One of 20 North Carolina mountains bearing this name, the Watauga County ridge extends northwest from Boone. It is named for its unusually fertile though rugged slopes.
