East, West take stage for NCAA tourney Favorites, upstarts alive in West Regional, where Hollywood ending is still possible The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Ever since Thad Matta and Sean Miller shared a tiny office at Miami of Ohio nearly 20 years ago, the coaches’ friendship has survived job changes, practical jokes and a few hundred dollars in lunch tabs. They’ve worked together and recruited against each other. They’ve shared scouting tips and sought job advice. They even briefly lived under the same roof with their entire families. “I wouldn’t be here today without him,� Miller said Wednesday. “I learned a lot from him, enjoyed being around him when we worked together, and we remain very good friends.�

They remained close after their teams faced off in a memorable Ohio State victory over Xavier in the NCAA Tournament six years ago, and they’re still close heading into their next meeting Thursday at Staples Center, when the secondseeded Buckeyes (28-7) meet Miller’s Arizona Wildcats (27-7) in the West Region semifinals. “I don’t like the fact that we’re playing, but I’m happy as can be for him,� Matta said.

Duke eager to return to Indy Blue Devils have won 6 tournament games, 2 titles The Associated Press
DURHAM — Duke always seems to feel right at home in the heart of Indiana. The Blue Devils have won six of seven NCAA Tournament games played in Indianapolis and have won two national titles there. That includes their most recent championship Plumlee in 2010, when the current seniors were freshmen. Two victories there this weekend at the Midwest Regional would send them back to their first Final Four since then. It will start Friday night when Duke (29-5), the No. 2 seed in the regional, takes on No. 3 seed Michigan State (27-8) in a regional semifinal. The winner will meet either top-seeded Louisville or 12th-seeded Oregon on Sunday with a spot in the Final Four on the line. Mason Plumlee, an Indiana native whose older brother Miles plays for the Indiana Pacers, says he hasn’t stepped foot inside Lucas Oil Stadium since the Blue Devils cut down the nets after their title-winning victory over Butler three years ago. “I don’t think that’s going to win us the game, good karma,� Plumlee said Wednesday. Duke’s first and its most recent national titles came in Indianapolis, with the team led by Christian Laettner and Bobby Hurley in 1991 beating Kansas for its first championship under Mike Krzyzewski. The 2010 group topped B utler for title No. 4 two nights after the Bulldogs beat, coincidentally, Michigan State in a national semifinal. Plumlee had one rebound in three minutes in that game while fellow senior Ryan Kelly didn’t play and Seth Curry sat out that season after transferring from Liberty. DUKE, Page B4

Appalachian State sees bright days ahead as it leaves Southern Conference BY TOMMY BOWMAN Winston-Salem Journal
Kenneth Peacock, Appalachian State’s chancellor, said he wanted the university’s athletes to know that they could compete at the highest level. “Now they can do that,� he said. ASU made it official Wednesday, announcing that it will join the Sun Belt Conference for all sports. The move will take the Mountaineers’ football program to the Football Bowl Subdivision, the highest rung of NCAA competition. The Mountaineers will play their final season in the Southern Conference in 2013-14, although they won’t be eligible for a conference title in football or playoffs in the Football Championship Subdivision as they beBOONE —

gin a two-year transition period in that sport. They’ll begin competing in 2014-15theSunBelt–whichplans to have 12 football members and 14 overall in place by then – and will be eligible for league titles in all sports upon entry. Charlie Cobb, ASU’s athletics director, said that ASU’s football program has looked very much like an FBS program and now can compete as one – going from 63 scholarships to 85 – and hopefully increase the school’s exposure. “It’s a bigger decision than just
athletics,� Cobb said. “This university has a lot to be proud of, and I think, frankly, the athletic program has done a lot to help that image. “But you look around the system, you look around the region, the top universities are playing FBS football. I don’t think anybody thinks Appalachian should take a backseat.� The Sun Belt, needing new members to replace those that left for other conferences in continuing shuffling at the FBS level, offered an opportunity. “It’s a good fit,� Ken Peacock,
ASU’s chancellor, said. “We were looking for a good geographical fit – now if the geographical fit could have been right here in North Carolina with the right institutions, that would have been even better – but I think we have found the right one.� All of the Sun Belt’s current members are public universities with former FCS programs. The conference has expanded its geographic footprint, and ASU will face more travel than it did in the SoCon. But Karl Benson, the Sun Belt’s commissioner, said that the league’s planned two-division format will ease travel. ASU is projected to be in an Eastern Division with fellow newcomer and SoCon rival Georgia Southern as well as Georgia State, Western Kentucky, Troy and South Alabama. APPALACHIAN, Page B3
East Carolina will join former Big East in all sports The Associated Press
East Carolina will join the soon-to-be-renamed Big East as an all-sports member, instead of just for football as originally planned. East Carolina had already been set to join Cincinnati, Connecticut, South Florida and the rest of the Big East football schools in 2014. But with the recent split
of the football and basketball schools, the football side is giving up the name Big East and needed to add more members for all sports. Commissioner Mike Aresco called East Carolina “a valuable addition� in a statement announcing the move Wednesday. “They have forward-looking leadership under Chancellor Steve Ballard and an outstanding
and well-rounded athletic program,� Aresco said. “Their men’s and women’s basketball teams have enjoyed excellent seasons and their Olympic sports are strong. East Carolina being made an all-sports member is another important step in strengthening our conference.� East Carolina, which has 19 sports, has been in Conference USA since joining that league
as an all-sports member for the 2001-02 season, though its football program joined that league in 1997. It will stay there through the 2013-14 season and join its new league on July 1, 2014. “East Carolina University is delighted to play all sports in this conference,� Ballard said in a statement. “We appreciate the leadership of Mike Aresco and (South Florida) President Judy
Genshaft and we look forward to working with each university.� A person with knowledge of the decision says Tulsa will also be added to the former Big East soon. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because that move has yet to be announced. Tulsaisexpectedtojoinby2015, when Navy also comes aboard, giving the league 12 schools.

* denotes Southern Conference game
FCS-FBS TRANSITION AT A GLANCE • On March 27, 2013, Appalachian State University announced that it would join the Sun Belt Conference on July 1, 2014. • With the move to the Sun Belt, Appalachian State football will transition to college football’s highest level, the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS — formerly known as Division I-A). • Appalachian State football must complete a two-year reclassification process from FCS to FBS. Among other requirements, Appalachian State must raise the number of football scholarships it offers from 63 to 85 during the reclassification period. • In the first year of the reclassification process (2013), Appalachian State will play a full Southern Conference schedule but will be ineligible for participation in the NCAA Division I Football Championship. Appalachian will also be ineligible to officially win the Southern Conference title, as the league would forfeit its automatic berth in the Division I Football Championship if its champion were ineligible to participate in the postseason. • In the second year of the reclassification process (2014), Appalachian State will play a full Sun Belt Conference schedule and be eligible to win the Sun Belt championship but will not be eligible to participate in a postseason bowl game. • Appalachian State becomes bowl-eligible in 2015. 16

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS CHARLIE COBB INTRODUCTION
CHARLIE
COBB
DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS 9th YEAR AT APPALACHIAN STATE B.A.: NC STATE, 1990 M.S.A: OHIO UNIVERSITY, 1992
17
He also serves on numerous NCAA and Southern Conference committees, most notably the NCAA Division I Football committee that he currently chairs. 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 15-year-old son, Harrison, and a 12-year-old daughter, Branan.

In his ninth year at Appalachian State University, director of athletics Charlie Cobb has spearheaded perhaps the most successful and ambitious period in the University’s decorated athletics history. Of Cobb’s many achievements in his nine years at Appalachian State, the most notable came in March when Appalachian accepted an invitation to join the NCAA Division I FBS Sun Belt Conference. For many of the University’s most ardent supporters, the announcement that Appalachian would join the Sun Belt on July 1, 2014 capped a years- and even decades-long quest for all 450-plus Mountaineer student-athletes to compete at the highest level of intercollegiate athletics. However, the Sun Belt invitation is just the tip of the iceberg with regards to Cobb’s many accomplishments at Appalachian State. The achievements enjoyed by Appalachian athletics during Cobb’s tenure also 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) titles and the first NCAA football championships 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 Appalachian’s 46 regular-season home games since Cobb’s arrival in 2005. • A 298-percent increase in football season-ticket sales. • Eight-consecutive Commissioner’s Cup championships — recognizing the top overall men’s sports program in the Southern Conference. • Four Germann Cup championships — recognizing the top overall women’s sports program in the SoCon. • Sweeping the Commissioner’s and Germann Cups in the same academic year four times — a feat never achieved by any other SoCon school. • Thirty-five percent of the athletics department’s students making the Academic Honor Roll (minimum GPA of 3.25). • Student-athletes achieving a combined 3.0 grade point average for both semesters of the 2012-13 academic year. • Seven of 20 varsity programs (football, men’s basketball, men’s cross country, women’s cross country, field hockey, women’s indoor and outdoor track and field) earning public recognition awards, based on ranking among the top 10 percent nationally in their respective sports in Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores. • The Yosef Club, which provides scholarship and facility support for student- athletes, setting fundraising records each of the past eight years. Annual Yosef Club donations, which never topped $700,000 prior to Cobb’s arrival, surpassed the $3 million mark for the first time in 2012-13. The most visible of Cobb’s many achievements at Appalachian State has been the addition of first-class facilities that give the Mountaineers the opportunity to be successful across the athletics spectrum for years to come. A wave of 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 student-athletes, as well as revenue-generating 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 at Kidd Brewer Stadium, the campaign 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 Appalachian 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 Appalachian State’s director of athletics on July 1, 2005, it is the experience, vision and work ethic of the 45-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.

Spurred by the announcement that Appalachian would join the Sun Belt and FBS, supporters donated to the Yosef Club in record numbers.

SEASON PREVIEW
After spending 17 of the last 22 years as a stiudent-athlete and assistant coach at Appalachian State, Scott Satterfield takes the reins at his alma mater in 2013. Regarded as one of the nation’s brightest young coaches, he is the first alumnus to lead Appalachian’s football program in over 50 years.
boast a combined 156 years of experience despite an average age of just 39. The staff is highlighted by new coordinators on both sides of the ball. Defensively, coaching veteran Nate Woody takes the reins this season after 26 years as a student-athlete and coach at SoCon rival Wofford. Woody brings with him an aggressive 3-4 scheme that helped Wofford lead the SoCon in total defense two of the past three seasons and produced nine all-Americans and three conference Players of the Year. Offensively, a pair of co-coordinators will take over the role vacated by Satterfield. In his second year at Appalachian State, offensive line coach Dwayne Ledford has been promoted to co-offensive coordinator for the running game. In his first season at Appalachian, he led a unit that paved the way for the Mountaineers to rush for over 170 yards per game and surge from 55th to 25
39th nationally in rushing offense. Ledford is joined in the co-offensive coordinator role by Frank Ponce, who will engineer Appalachian State’s passing game. Satterfield brought Ponce to the High Country from Florida International, where the two coached together in 2010 and ‘11. In six seasons as wide receivers coach at FIU, Ponce coached six of the top 10 wideouts in program history. While the Satterfield era begins this fall, the Mountaineers’ 41-year stint in the Southern Conference comes to a close. After winning seven of the last eight league championships, Appalachian State will play a SoCon schedule for the final time in 2013 before embarking on a move to the Sun Belt Conference and NCAA Division I FBS next July. The 2013 campaign will be an unusual one for Black and Gold faithful used to seeing the season extend deep into December, as Appalachian is

A new era begins while another closes for Appalachian State University football in 2013. The 2013 marks the beginning of Scott Satterfield’s tenure as Appalachian State’s head coach. The first Appalachian alumnus to take the reins of the program since Carl Messere (‘61) roamed the Mountaineers’ sideline from 1965-70, Satterfield has spent 17 of the last 22 years at App State as a student-athlete and coach. In his 17 seasons as a player (1991-95) and coach (1998-2008) in the High Country, Satterfield has helped lead the Mountaineers to three national championships, eight Southern Conference titles and has played a large role in virtually re-writing the program’s offense record book. A young and energetic, yet experienced crop of assistants joins Satterfield in ushering in the new era of Mountaineer football. Appalachian State’s 10 full-time coaches

ineligible to compete for a fourth NCAA Division I FCS national title while it begins its two-year transition to full FBS membership. Subsequently, the Mountaineers are also ineligible to officially win a 13th SoCon championship but will be listed in the league’s standings while playing a full conference slate. OFFENSE Under Satterfield’s direction as offensive coordinator last season, Appalachian State ranked among the FCS leaders in total offense, scoring and passing yardage and efficiency. In his first season at the helm of the program, Satterfield returns a whopping 10 starters from that offense, which racked up nearly 33 points and 464 yards per game last fall. Headlining the 10 returning offensive starters is senior quarterback Jamal Londry-Jackson. Despite sustaining a severe
ALWAYS ATTACK
knee injury midway through last season that required surgery and limited him during offseason conditioning and spring practice, Londry-Jackson is on pace to be at 100 percent when the Mountaineers hit the field this fall. Last season, Londry-Jackson threw for 3,278 yards, rushed for 328 more and accounted for 27 touchdowns en route to be named first-team all-Southern Conference and one of 20 finalists for the Walter Payton Award (FCS National Player of the Year). Londry-Jackson will have a full array of weapons to target again in ‘13, as seven of the Mountaineers’ top eight pass-catchers from last season return to the field this fall. Highlighting that group are a trio of all-conference performers at wide receiver — sophomore Sean Price and seniors Andrew Peacock and Tony Washington. Price leads the way, coming off a rookie season that saw him obliterate FCS freshman 26
records with 81 receptions for 1,196 yards. Not to be overlooked, Peacock caught 79 passes for 795 yards while Washington chipped in with 39 receptions for 472 yards. Including reserves Malachi Jones, Simms McElfresh and Tacoi Sumler, Appalachian returns all 242 receptions, 2,966 yards and 19 touchdowns amassed by its wideouts last season. The squads top two tight ends — junior Drew Bailey (9 rec., 123 yards and 4 TD) and senior Josh Anding — also return. Rounding out the 10 returning offensive starters are all five starting linemen — tackles Kendall Lamm and Will Corbin, guards Shaq Counts and Alex Acey and center Graham Fisher. The young group (all five are sophomores and juniors in 2013) allowed just 24 sacks all of last season and paved the way for first-team all-conference running back Steven Miller to rush for 1,368 yards and 11 touchdowns as a senior.

Defensive end Ronald Blair is expected to contend for all-America honors as the top returner on Appalachian State’s relatively young defense. Blair is one of only four returning starters on Appalachian’s defense that is projected to be in a starting role again in 2013.
DEFENSE Defensively, Appalachian State technically welcomes back six starters from a season ago. However, only five are still on the defensive side of the ball and just four are projected to start in new defensive
coordinator Nate Woody’s 3-4 scheme. The Mountaineers’ most experienced defensive position is the defensive line, which returns four starters in juniors Ronald Blair and Deuce Robinson and sophomores Stephen Burns and Davante Harris. With the number of defensive linemen needed in the 3-4 alignment obviously less than the number needed in last year’s hybrid scheme, Harris has moved to the other side of the ball to add depth and compete for a starting assignment on the Mountaineers’ offensive front. The rest of Appalachian’s returning defensive linemen (Blair, Robinson, Burns, sophomore Thomas Bronson and senior Adam Scott) combined for 9.5 sacks and 24 tackles for loss last season, led by all-conference honoree Blair (three sacks, 8.5 TFL) and Scott, who racked up five sacks and six stops behind the line of scrimmage despite seeing limited playing time as a junior. 27
Linebacker is a glaring area where Appalachian needs less-experienced players to step up in 2013. While the Mountaineers have three linebackers on the roster that have made starts at the position (Frazier, senior Karl Anderson and junior Brandon McGowan), the trio has combined for just six career starts and only Anderson started a ballgame there last season. Going into the season, Frazier and fellow senior Patrick Blalock — who started all 12 games at safety last season — are tabbed as the starters at outside linebacker and McGowan and redshirt freshman John Law are penciled in as the starters inside. The secondary also saw the graduation of two all-conference performers in cornerback Demetrius McCray (a seventh-round draft pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars) and safety Troy Sanders (a free-agent signee with the Atlanta Falcons). With Blalock’s move from safety to linebacker, Appala-

Miller is the only offensive starter that does not return in 2013. In fact, none of the Mountaineers’ top three running backs from a year ago are back this season, as Miller and top backup Rod Chisholm (154 yards, 2 TD) both graduated and Michael Frazier (93 yards, 1 TD) moved back to his natural position of linebacker during the offseason. A plethora of talented youngsters are expected to pick up the load in ‘13, led by sophomore Ricky Fergerson, who earned a spot on the travel squad and, ultimately, a scholarship after impressing coaches as a walk-on last fall.

chian State returns just one starter in the secondary, junior Joel Ross, who will move from safety and nickel back to cornerback. Senior Rodger Walker, who has four career interceptions, is tabbed as the starter opposite Ross while promising youngsters Kevin Walton (sophomore) and Alex Gray (redshirt freshman) hold the starting assignments at safety going into the fall. SPECIAL TEAMS A loss that shouldn’t be overlooked is that of punter/place kicker Sam Martin, as the first-team All-American was drafted by the Detroit Lions after performing all three kicking duties (punting, place kicking and kickoffs) with aplomb for the Mountaineers last season. Senior Drew Stewart, who drilled 14 field goals over the past two seasons, is expected to take the place-kicking duties on a full-time basis while redshirt freshman

Zach Matics earned the punting job with a very impressive spring. Holder Logan Hallock and long snapper Brett Heimrich both return for the Mountaineers, as does Washington, who earned second-team all-conference recognition as a return specialist a year ago. Washington put together one of the best campaigns by a return specialist in program history last season. The speedster ranked among the top 25 nationally in both kickoff- and punt-return average. His 27.3-yard kickoff return average, which included the second-longest return in school history (a 99-yarder versus Wofford), was the secondhighest ever by a Mountaineer. SCHEDULE The Mountaineers’ final SoCon and FCS schedule is a daunting one, beginning with a trip to traditional FCS power Montana on Aug. 31. The much-anticipated season28
opener is a rematch of last year’s thrilling 35-27 Appalachian State win in Boone but also marks Appalachian’s first-ever regular-season game at Washington-Grizzly Stadium, where it suffered heartbreaking losses in the 2000 and 2009 FCS semifinals. Appalachian plays six home games in its final FCS season, highlighted by matchups versus future Sun Belt foe Georgia Southern (Oct. 26) and the last foreseeable installment of the Battle for the Old Mountain Jug versus longtime rival Western Carolina (Nov. 23). In addition to the opener at Montana, the six-game road slate is headlined by a Nov. 9 trip to Athens, Ga. to face BCS national championship contender Georgia. The battle “Between the Hedges” at Sanford Stadium marks the first-ever matchup between the Mountaineers and Bulldogs despite the schools’ campuses being just 250 miles apart.

COACHES AND STAFF
HEAD COACH SCOTT SATTERFIELD
Scott Satterfield, who has spent 17 of the last 22 years at Appalachian State University as a student-athlete and coach, was named the 20th head coach in Appalachian State football history on Dec. 14, 2012. Satterfield has enjoyed success at every stop of his 20-year playing and coaching career, most notably in his 17 seasons at Appalachian State. In his 17 seasons as a player (1991-95) and coach (19982008, 2012), he has helped lead the Mountaineers to three national titles, eight Southern Conference championships and played a large role in virtually re-writing the program’s offensive record book. Most recently, Satterfield has also proven to be a coach that can make a big impact in a short time. After a three-year stint away from his alma mater, Satterfield returned to Appalachian State in January as the Mountaineers’ assistant head coach, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Despite inheriting a unit that managed just 390.2 yards per game in 2011 (Appalachian’s lowest production in eight seasons), lost three players that would go on to play in the NFL this season and returned only five starters, the Mountaineer offense flourished under Satterfield’s direction in 2012. Appalachian State ranked among the nation’s top 25 in total offense (ninth - 464.0 ypg), passing efficiency (ninth - 152.03 rating), passing yardage (293.8 ypg) and scoring (32.9 ppg) and, for the first time in school history, produced a 3,000-yard passer (Jamal Londry-Jackson - 3,278 yds.), 1,000-yard rusher (Steven Miller - 1,368 yds.) and 1,000-yard receiver (Sean Price - 1,196 yds.) in the same season. Prior to his return to Appalachian, Satterfield spent one season as the passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Toledo (2009)
ALWAYS ATTACK
and two as the offensive coordinator at Florida International (2009-10). In his only season at Toledo, the Rockets ranked 20th nationally in passing (278.5 yards per game) and 14th in total offense (438.3 ypg), averages that were 89 and 104 yards better than the season prior to his arrival. In two seasons at FIU, Satterfield helped lead the Golden Panthers to the first two bowl appearances in school history, including a victory over Toledo in the 2010 Little Caesars Bowl. After going 3-9 and averaging 321 yards of offense the year prior to his arrival, FIU won 15 games and averaged 380 yards in Satterfield’s two seasons as offensive coordinator. Before his three seasons in the NCAA Division I FBS ranks, Satterfield spent the first 11 seasons of his coaching career at Appalachian State, mentoring the Mountaineers’ wide receivers (1998), running backs (1999-2002) and quarterbacks (2003-08). He was an integral part of Appalachian’s transition from a power-I to a spread offense in 2004 and the five record-setting offensive campaigns that followed. With Satterfield serving as the Mountaineers’ primary play-caller, Appalachian ranked among the nation’s top 20 in the five major offensive statistical categories (scoring, rushing, passing, passing efficiency and total offense) 17 out of a possible 25 times from 2004-08, highlighted by an explosive 2007 campaign when the Mountaineers led the nation with a school-record 488.3 yards of total offense per game. As Appalachian State’s quarterbacks coach, Satterfield has overseen the development of the most prolific signal-callers in school history. In addition to being Londry-Jackson’s mentor for only the third 3,000-yard passing season in school 30
history, Satterfield also coached both Richie Williams (2003-05) and Armanti Edwards (200608) to all-America recognition and was Edwards’ mentor for the first of his back-to-back Walter Payton Awards (NCAA Division I FCS Player of the Year) in 2008. Prior to coaching the Mountaineers’ quarterbacks, Satterfield also mentored a 1,000yard rusher (Jimmy Watkins — 2001) and the 11th-leading rusher in school history (Jerry Beard — 2000-02). As a player at Appalachian, Satterfield made 27 starts at quarterback from 1992-95 after redshirting as a true freshman in 1991. He earned first-team all-conference recognition as a senior in 1995 after passing for 1,461 yards and rushing for 649 more to help lead the Mountaineers to the only undefeated, untied regular season in school history (11-0) and a 12-1 final record. He graduated from Appalachian State with a B.S. in physical education in 1996. Satterfield is the sixth alumnus to serve as Appalachian State’s head football coach, joining Graydon Eggers ‘24 (1928), Francis Hoover ‘40 (1945), Press Mull ‘47 (1951), Bob Broome ‘40 (1956-58) and Carl Messere ‘61 (1965-70). “I am thrilled to receive the opportunity to be the head coach at Appalachian State,” Satterfield said. “It’s an honor, a privilege and the culmination of a dream that I have had since I came to Appalachian as a walk-on player in 1991. My goal is to carry on the championship tradition that Appalachian has established on the field, in the classroom and in the community over nearly nine decades, especially in the last 24 years under my mentor, Jerry Moore. I’m going to hit the ground running and can’t wait to get started. It’s great to be a Mountaineer!”

“I am thrilled to receive the opportunity to be the head coach at Appalachian State. It’s an honor, a privilege and the culmination of a dream that I have had since I came to Appalachian as a walk-on player in 1991. My goal is to carry on the championship tradition that Appalachian has established on the field, in the classroom and in the community over nearly nine decades, especially in the last 24 years under my mentor, Jerry Moore. I’m going to hit the ground running and can’t wait to get started. It’s great to be a Mountaineer!” — Scott Satterfield, Dec. 14, 2012 Scott Satterfield led the 1995 Mountaineers to the only undefeated, untied regular season in school history.
“One of the things that stood out from the very beginning with Scott was his leadership ability. There’s no question he was a special football player, but the respect and command he earned among his teammates and coaching staff set him apart. Scott has played an integral role in helping build Appalachian State’s championship foundation and I’m confident he will carry on that tradition. He’s paid his dues, worked his way up and I’m not sure anyone can represent the core values of the Mountaineer program better than Scott — simply, a great hire.” — East Carolina head coach Ruffin McNeill (Appalachian State assistant coach during Satterfield’s playing career) “Scott is a great Xs and Os technician of the game of football but an even better leader of men. He has landed his dream job and I know that he and Beth are excited for the opportunity. I don’t think that it will take long for Scott to lead Appalachian State to more championships.” — Toledo head coach Matt Campbell (coached on same staff with Satterfield at Toledo in 2009)
“I am proud to know that the time and energy that Scott has put into Appalachian State over the past two decades has paid off and that a member of the family will lead the next phase of Mountaineer football. Scott is an outstanding coach and leader. I wish him all the best leading the Mountaineers.” — South Carolina co-offensive coordinator Shawn Elliott (played and coached with Satterfield at Appalachian State from 1992-96 and 1998-2009) “Scott has been successful in every role that he has filled during his 15-year coaching career and obviously has great familiarity and love for Appalachian State. His enthusiasm, energy and ability to coach young men in both football and life is second to none. During the interview process, he impressed the search committee with his vision for Appalachian State football and his plan to implement that vision on and off the field. I am confident that with Coach Satterfield leading our football program, Appalachian will maintain its unrivaled success for years to come.” — Appalachian State director of athletics Charlie Cobb

“I am definitely excited and I know that the guys on the team are excited that Coach Satterfield has the opportunity to lead the team. He brought a whole new vibe to the program when he came back last year. He has a great deal of passion and I really enjoy playing for him. I never knew him prior to him coming back but it didn’t take long for me to buy into what he was doing and I am confident that will be the case for the whole team going forward.” — Appalachian State quarterback Jamal Londry-Jackson

DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR/ILBs 1st SEASON AT APPALACHIAN STATE 23rd SEASON OVERALL WOFFORD, 1984 After 13 successful seasons as the defensive coordinator at Southern Conference rival Wofford, coaching veteran Nate Woody is in his first season as Appalachian State’s defensive coordinator and inside linebackers coach. Woody spent the first 22 years of his collegiate coaching career at Wofford (1988-93, 1997-2012) and served as the Terriers’ defensive coordinator from 2000-12. In his 13 seasons at the helm of his alma mater’s defense, Woody built one of the Southern Conference’s most successful units. Wofford led the SoCon in total defense three times under his tutelage, including twice in the last three campaigns (2010 and 2012), and produced nine all-Americans and three SoCon Defensive Players of the Year. In 2012, the Terriers allowed just 16.6 points, 125 rushing yards and 305.9 total yards per game, good for tops in the SoCon in all three categories. Wofford ranked among the top 10 nationally in total defense two of the past three seasons — seventh in 2010 (285.9 ypg) and ninth in 2012. The Terriers also led the nation in takeaways with 41 in 2003. Woody was a four-year starter at Wofford from 1980-83, playing two years at defensive back and two at outside linebacker. He was an honorable-mention all-American as a senior, as well as a two-time all-district honoree and served as the Terriers’ team captain in 1983. He graduated from Wofford with a B.A. in business economics in 1984. He was born in Burlington, N.C. and spent part of his childhood in nearby Morganton, N.C. before attending high school at T.L. Hanna H.S. in Anderson, S.C. At Hanna, he was a four-sport standout (football, basketball, baseball and soccer) and played in the 1979 Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas. Woody and his wife, Rebecca, have two sons, Nicolas and Jacob.

CO-OFFENSIVE COORD. (RUN)/OL 2nd SEASON AT APPALACHIAN STATE 7th SEASON OVERALL EAST CAROLINA, 1999 Dwayne Ledford is in his second season as Appalachian State’s offensive line coach and his first year as the Mountaineers’ co-offensive coordinator for the running game. Despite inheriting a group that featured no seniors and being forced to start nine different players at 10 different positions throughout the season due to a wide array of injuries and other factors, Ledford coached an offensive line that paved the way for a vastly improved offensive attack in 2012. The Mountaineers averaged 464 yards of total offense per game last season, good for ninth nationally and nearly 74 yards more than they averaged in 2011. Behind Ledford’s unit, Appalachian rushed for 170.3 yards per game last season, surging from 55th to 39th in the national rankings in the span of one season. The Mountaineers also surrendered just 24 sacks under Ledford’s tutelage, the sixth fewest in the nation for any team with at least 430 pass attempts. A native of nearby Marion, N.C. and a seven-year National Football League veteran, Ledford came to Appalachian State after one season as the offensive line coach and run game coordinator at Gardner-Webb. In his only season at GWU, the Bulldogs ranked second in the Big South in rushing (165.6 yards per game) and third in fewest sacks allowed (17), finishing among the top 50 teams nationally in both categories. Two of his pupils earned all-Big South recognition. Prior to his one season at Gardner-Webb, he also spent a year at Tennessee State, helping lead the Tigers to top-25 national rankings in both rushing (190.0 ypg) and fewest sacks allowed (13) and coaching two all-Ohio Valley Conference selections. Ledford also boasts seven years of experience as an NFL lineman, suiting up for the San Francisco 49ers (1999-2000 and 2003-04), Jacksonville Jaguars (2000), Carolina Panthers (2001), Cleveland Browns (2005) and New Orleans Saints (2006). His most extensive playing time as a pro came with the 49ers in 2003, when he suited up for eight games and made one start. While still in the midst of his NFL career, Ledford began in the coaching profession as a football strength and conditioning coach at North Carolina in 2005 and as an offensive line intern with the Frankfurt Galaxy of NFL Europe in the spring of 2006. After the conclusion of his playing career, he began his coaching career in earnest, first as the Galaxy’s tight ends and tackles coach in the spring of 2007 before returning to the United States to serve as the offensive line coach at Sanderson High School in Raleigh that fall. He spent two seasons as a graduate assistant coach at his alma mater, East Carolina, in 2008-09, working directly with the offensive line and helping lead the Pirates to back-to-back Conference USA championships. As a player at ECU (1995-98), he spent three seasons as a defensive lineman and started all 11 games as a junior, finishing with 26 career tackles. He moved to offensive line prior to his senior campaign and made nine starts at left tackle in 1998 while being named a 1998-99 National Strength and Conditioning all-American. A recipient of the ECU football Jerry T. Brooks Award for outstanding academic achievement in 1998, Ledford graduated from East Carolina with a B.S. in exercise and sports science in 1999.

Miller also caught 34 passes for 377 yards and scored 15 touchdowns (11 rushing, four receiving) in Foster’s only season as his mentor. Foster came to Appalachian State from Gardner-Webb, where he served as the Runnin’ Bulldogs’ running backs coach for eight seasons (2004-11). He coached an all-Big South performer in four of his eight seasons at Gardner-Webb, including each of his final three campaigns in Boiling Springs. In 2011, GWU’s Kenny Little became the Bulldogs’ first 1,000-yard rusher in 11 years while earning all-conference recognition under Foster’s tutelage. In his eight seasons as an assistant coach at GWU, Foster also served as the staff’s primary academic advisor and a top recruiter.

Additionally, Ivey plays a large role in the coordination of Appalachian’s special teams. In his first season as a collegiate coach, Ivey assisted with a defensive unit that led the Southern Conference in interceptions and ranked second in the league in sacks and takeaways. On special teams, Appalachian ranked second nationally with a 40.8-yard net punting average under Ivey’s direction. Ivey returned to Appalachian State in 2012 after 16 years as a high-school coach in Florida, including the last 10 seasons as head coach at Cypress Lake H.S. in Fort Myers (2002-06) and Barron Collier H.S. in Naples (200711). In five successful campaigns as the head coach at Barron Collier, he led the Cougars to a 36-19 overall record and state playoff appearances all five years. BCHS won three-straight district championships from 2007-09, doubling the number of district titles that the school had claimed in its first 29 years of existence. In addition to his decade of experience as a head coach, Ivey also served as an assistant at Port Charlotte, Cape Coral and Gulf Coast high schools in western Florida from 1996-2001. Ivey was a linebacker and defensive lineman at Appalachian State from 1991-95. After redshirting as a true freshman in ‘91, Ivey went on to record 166 tackles in 47 games for the Black and Gold from 1992-95. As a senior, he started 12-of-13 games and tallied 66 tackles, four sacks and eight tackles for loss to help lead the Mountaineers to a perfect 11-0 regular season and the 1995 Southern Conference championship. In all, he started 28 games at defensive tackle and was a part of four NCAA Division I-AA playoff teams during his collegiate career. A native of Collinsville, Va., Ivey was an all-district and all-region gridiron performer at Martinsville H.S. He made 230 tackles over his final two prep seasons and was also a two-time district champion in wrestling and an all-district and all-region honoree in baseball. Ivey graduated from Appalachian State in 1996 with a bachelor’s degree in industrial technology (furniture production concentration). In addition to coaching, he also taught math, computer-aided drafting and materials and processing in his 16 years in high-school education. Ivey and his wife, Rosa, have three daughters: Britini, Maggie and Gabriella.

SECONDARY/RECRUITING COORD. 4th SEASON AT APPALACHIAN STATE 18th SEASON OVERALL CLEMSON, 1992 An 18-year college coaching veteran, Scot Sloan is in his fourth season as Appalachian State’s secondary coach. Sloan has also served as Appalachian’s recruiting coordinator for the past two seasons. In his three seasons at Appalachian State, Sloan has mentored two all-Americans (Mark LeGree in 2010 and Demetrius McCray in 2011) and five all-Southern Conference honorees. After a year under Sloan’s tutelage, LeGree went on to be a fifth-round selection of the Seattle Seahawks in the 2011 National Football League Draft. Each of the past two seasons (2011 and 2012), Appalachian has led the Southern Conference in interceptions and in his first season with the Mountaineers (2010), Sloan’s defensive backfield helped the squad rank among the nation’s top 30 teams in pass defense, pass-efficiency defense and interceptions. As the program’s recruiting coordinator, Sloan has helped nail down two recruiting classes widely regarded among the best in all of NCAA Division I FCS. He helped secure the Mountaineers’ stellar 2011 class despite not taking over as recruiting coordinator until just six weeks shy of National Signing Day. Immediately preceding his arrival at Appalachian in 2010, 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.

DEFENSIVE LINE 18th SEASON AT APPALACHIAN STATE 25th SEASON OVERALL TENNESSEE, 1988 Dale Jones is in his 18th season at Appalachian State and begins his second stint as the Mountaineers’ defensive line coach in 2013. Jones came to Appalachian State in 1996 and served as the team’s defensive line coach and special-teams coordinator for his first nine seasons with the program. He then coached Appalachian’s linebackers from 2005-12 and was also the Mountaineers’ defensive coordinator for three seasons (201012) before returning to the defensive front this season. Player development has been a staple of Jones’ tenure at Appalachian State. During his 18 seasons at Appalachian, he has coached 11 all-America defensive linemen and linebackers, including five two-time honorees. He has also mentored 19 all-conference performers that have earned the recognition a total of 31 times while four of his pupils — Josh Jeffries (2002), K.T. Stovall (2003), Jacque Roman (2008) and Jeremy Kimbrough (2012) — have been named the Southern Conference’s Defensive Player of the Year. Twelve players that Jones has coached at Appalachian State have gone on to play in the National Football League, including four players currently in the NFL: eight-year veteran Jason Hunter (Oakland Raiders), third-year pro D.J. Smith (San Diego Chargers) and rookies Jeremy Kimbrough (Washington Redskins) and Demetrius McCray (Jacksonville Jaguars). As a team, Appalachian State led the SoCon in interceptions twice (2011 and 2012) and also topped the league in sacks (2011), red-zone defense (2011) and third-down conversion defense (2010) during Jones’ three-year tenure as defensive coordinator. While serving as Appalachian State’s special-teams coordinator, Jones was named the 2002 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-Southeastern Conference 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 SEC 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’ 1614 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.

The 2013 season is the second of Cardwell’s second stint as Appalachian’s tight ends coach. Prior to rejoining the Mountaineers’ coaching staff in 2012, he also served as the program’s tight ends coach in 2008, when he mentored freshman Ben Jorden to first-team all-Southern Conference honors.

All-conference, all-America and Walter Payton Award candidate returns for his third and final season as Appalachian State’s starting quarterback … is coming off one of the best seasons by a passer in Appalachian history … set school records for single-season completions (268) and pass attempts (406) while falling just 13 yards short of the program record with 3,278 passing yards … with a similar campaign as a senior, could finish his career ranked as high as second in Appalachian’s all-time annals for career passing yards, completions, attempts, touchdowns and total offense, behind only four-time all-American and two-time Payton Award winner Armanti Edwards … already owns six school records (most passing yards by a sophomore, most passing yards by a junior and most consecutive games with 200 passing yards and 250 yards of total offense, both overall and to begin a career as a starter) … brings a string of 19-straight starts into the season … sustained a severe knee injury during a Week 9 win at Western Carolina on Oct. 27 of last season that limited his mobility down the stretch and required offseason surgery … sat out the majority of spring drills following the January procedure but participated fully in the Mountaineers’ offseason strength and conditioning program and is expected to be at 100 percent when fall camp opens … is a true dual-threat quarterback that can confound opposing defenses with his passing and running ability … draws many comparisons to Appalachian State Hall-of-Fame signal-caller Richie

Williams due to his 6-3 frame, strong and accurate arm and ability to make plays with his feet either through called runs or improvisation … a respected team leader who is one of the few players in Appalachian history to have been voted a team captain by his teammates as a junior … is a fan favorite due to the way that he carries himself on and off the field, his regular interaction with fans of all ages and his willingness to give back to the community in a variety of ways … after going by the name of Jamal Jackson during the first four years of his collegiate career, has decided to use his full legal name, Jamal Londry-Jackson, to honor his mother, Kathy Londry. 2012: Started all 12 games at quarterback … was a finalist for the Walter Payton Award, placing 14th in voting for the honor that recognizes the NCAA Division I FCS Player of the Year … named first-team all-Southern Conference by the league’s coaches and media … threw for 3,278 yards, the most by a junior and good for second overall in Appalachian State single-season history, just 13 yards shy of the school record of 3,291 (Armanti Edwards -

1,196 receiving yards are both good for third in Appalachian State single-season history … recorded only the sixth 1,000-yard season by a receiver in school history and the first by a Mountaineer before his junior season … tied an Appalachian State single-season record with seven 100-yard receiving games (also achieved by DaVon Fowlkes in 2004 and Brian Quick in 2010) … seven 100-yard games are also good for a tie for fourth in SoCon single-season history … set a new school record with four-consecutive 100-yard receiving games to close out the campaign (tied for sixth in SoCon history) … became the first Mountaineer to ever put together three-straight 100-yard receiving games twice in his career … set seven Appalachian State freshman records — receptions, receiving yards, touchdown receptions (8), 100-yard receiving games, consecutive 100yard receiving games, single-game receptions (13) and single-game receiving yards (231) … opened the season with three-straight 100-yard performances (vs. Montana, at Chattanooga, vs. Coastal Carolina) … caught eight passes for 103 yards, including a 32-yard touchdown that capped the game’s opening drive, to help lift Appalachian to a 35-27 victory over Montana in the home opener … returned to action two weeks later at Chattanooga when he hauled in 10 passes for 130 yards and two scores in come-from-behind triumph over the Mocs … had eight catches for 128 yards and two more touchdowns (69 and nine yards) despite playing just over three quarters in 55-14 rout versus Coastal Carolina, en route to being named SoCon Freshman of the Week for the first time … was limited to just 180 yards on 15 catches over the next three games (vs. Elon, at Samford, vs. Wofford) … despite the relative slow three-game mid-season stretch, made perhaps Appalachian’s biggest play of the season when he hauled in a spectacular 22-yard touchdown catch with 22 seconds remaining to give the Mountaineers a 28-25 win at Samford … on the game-winning play, Price stretched out to make a lunging catch on a pass from Jamal Jackson and got his right foot down inside the right sideline before SU defensive back James Bradberry was able to push him out of out-of-bounds … the game-winning catch was only the fourth go-ahead touchdown reception by a Mountaineer in the final minute of a game in the last 25 seasons (1988-2012) … after the three-game mid-season mini-slump, averaged 10 receptions and 164 yards over the final four contests of the season (at Western Carolina, at Georgia Southern, vs. Furman, vs. Illinois State) … opened the torrid season-closing stretch by catching 10 passes for 142 yards and a touchdown in win at Western Carolina … turned in perhaps the signature moment of his amazing freshman campaign in the Mountaineers’ 31-28 victory at top-ranked Georgia Southern … caught seven passes for a whopping 231 yards, including a highlight-reel-worthy 56-yard touchdown in the triumph … the 231 receiving yards at GSU were: an Appalachian State freshman record; tied for fourth overall in Appalachian history; the second-most of the season in the Southern Conference; the 13th-most of the season in NCAA Division I FCS; the highest total of the season by an FCS freshman; a Paulson Stadium record and; the most ever surrendered by Georgia Southern … was named National Freshman of the Week by The Sports Network following the epic performance at GSU … was also named SoCon Offensive Player and Freshman of the Week for his effort at Georgia Southern, becoming only the second player in 21 seasons to collect two of the SoCon’s weekly awards simultaneously (joining former Appalachian QB DeAndre Presley, who was named SoCon Offensive Player and Freshman of the Week on Nov. 24, 2008 as the only players to accomplish the feat since Mountaineer RB Chip Hooks in 1991) … Price also became only the eighth player to win a pair of SoCon accolades in the same week since the league first recognized a Freshman of the Week in 1988 … hauled in 10 catches for 115 yards in SoCon-title-clinching victory over Furman in the regular-season finale … had a season-high 13 receptions for 167 yards in season-ending loss to Illinois State in the second round of the NCAA Division I Football Championship … the 13 receptions were the most ever by a Mountaineer in an NCAA Division I-AA/FCS playoff game while the 167 receiving yards ranked second in Appalachian playoff history (behind only Troy Albea’s 177 yards in a 2000 national semifinal loss at Montana).

GREENVILLE, N.C. - Appalachian State University trailed East Carolina by just one point late in the third quarter but an array of miscues and the sweltering weather took their toll on the Mountaineers down the stretch in a 35-13 loss in the season opener at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. Appalachian State (0-1) racked up 419 yards of offense — including 300 passing yards by junior quarterback Jamal Jackson — but surrendered touchdowns on a fumble and kickoff return, allowed a long punt return that set up another score, turned the ball over three times and was penalized 11 times for 100 yards in the hard-fought loss. The Mountaineers trailed just 14-13 with 2:35 to go in the third quarter after Drew Stewart made his second field goal of the day from 41 yards out. However, East Carolina’s Lance Ray returned the ensuing kickoff 90 yards for a game-changing touchdown and Conference USA’s Pirates used their superior depth to wear down the Apps from there. Appalachian held a commanding 332-242 advantage in total yardage through three quarters but was outgained 148-87 in the final period and ECU tacked on a pair of fourth-quarter scores to account for the deceiving final margin. Things couldn’t have started out much better for the Mountaineers, who have been slow out of the gates in recent season openers. Troy Sanders intercepted ECU quarterback Rio Johnson on the first series of the ballgame. Appalachian took over on its own 42 and marched 58 yards in 10 plays, capped by a four-yard touchdown run by Jackson that gave the Apps a 7-0 lead. Jackson almost did it all on the 10-play drive, completing 5-of-5 passes for 48 yards and rushing twice for 10 more yards and the score. Thanks largely to its stifling defense, Appalachian State still led 7-0 early in the second quarter and was approaching ECU territory on its third possession of the game when the C-USA officiating crew ruled that Jackson fumbled at the end of a five-yard run. East Carolina’s Chip Thompson scooped up the loose ball and, with the majority of the players on the field and the 49,023 in attendance believing that Jackson was down, ran to the end zone before officials whistled the play dead. After a lengthy video review, it was ruled that there was not enough evidence to overturn the call on the field and the touchdown stood, tying the contest at 7-7. Two possessions later, after a 43-yard punt return by Justin Hardy, the Pirates needed to go just 17 yards to take their first lead of the game on an 11-yard touchdown pass from Johnson to Andrew Bodenheimer. Despite what could have been a back-breaking turn of events, Appalachian grabbed the momentum back shortly before the intermission. After the Mountaineer defense capped a dominant first half by forcing an ECU three-and-out that ran just 25 seconds off the clock, the offense used terrific catches by Malachi Jones and Tony Washington to march 40 yards in just 38 seconds and Stewart kicked a 26-yard field goal to send the Apps to the locker room trailing 14-10. Appalachian’s defensive dominance continued well into the third quarter, highlighted by Brandon Grier forcing a fumble with a vicious hit on East Carolina running back Michael Dobson that was recovered by Ronald Blair on the ECU 43 yard line. The turnover, the second of the day forced by the Mountaineer defense, set up the 19-yard drive that culminated with Stewart’s second field goal of the day and brought the Apps within a point of the upset. Despite battling cramps brought on by the extreme heat and humidity in Greenville, Jackson completed 23-of40 passes for 300 yards and ran seven times for 34 yards and a touchdown in the gritty loss. Washington hauled in seven of Jackson’s 23 completions for a career-best 102 yards, while Andrew Peacock and Jones notched 77 and 69 yards, respectively, on five catches each. Steven Miller was one of three Appalachian ball-carriers to notch at least 30 yards on the ground, finishing with 47 yards on 14 carries. Appalachian’s valiant defensive performance was led by Jeremy Kimbrough, who tallied a game-high 13 tackles. Sanders added 10 stops to go along with his interception. NOTES: Appalachian State’s first-quarter touchdown marked the first time since its historic win at Michigan in 2007 that it scored on its first possession of the season … Sanders’ interception on ECU’s opening series kept Appalachian’s opponent off the scoreboard on the first offensive possession of a season-opener for the first time since 2006 at NC State and also marked the first time since the ‘06 loss at State an FBS opponent failed to score a touchdown on their opening possession against the Mountaineers … ECU’s fumble return for a touchdown was the first against Appalachian since the 2009 NCAA Division I Championship quarterfinals at Richmond … the Pirates’ kickoff return touchdown was the first surrendered by the Mountaineers since the opening kickoff of the second half at James Madison in 2008 … despite its sixth-straight loss to ECU, Appalachian State still holds a 19-12 lead in the alltime series with the Pirates … Appalachian also holds a 33-21 all-time edge against current members of Conference USA … DB Jamill Lott, WR Sean Price and LB Jamal Ware did not participate in Saturday’s game due to a violation of team rules.

ATTENDANCE: 30,856 BOONE, N.C. — Perhaps the most anticipated regular-season matchup in NCAA Division I FCS history certainly lived up to the hype when No. 11/8 Appalachian State University topped No. 12/9 Montana in an epic battle at Kidd Brewer Stadium. A raucous crowd of 30,856, the third-largest in Kidd Brewer Stadium history, saw the winningest FCS programs of the millennium combine for 900 yards of offense and 19 third- and fourth-down conversions in a contest that, like the two Appalachian State-Montana matchups before it, came down to the wire. Appalachian (1-1) forced two of Montana’s four turnovers in the first quarter and turned both miscues into touchdowns to jump out to a 21-7 lead after just one period. The Griz roared back with 14 points in the second quarter to send the game to halftime tied at 21-21 and the score remained deadlocked until a heart-stopping fourth quarter. The Mountaineers regained a 28-21 advantage early in the final period when it marched 67 yards in just 1:44. A 32-yard pass from Jamal Jackson to Sean Price on the drive’s first play and a 25-yard touchdown strike from Jackson to Andrew Peacock accounted for 57 of the 67 yards but the biggest play of the possession when Jackson scrambled for a first down on fourth-and-one to keep the series alive and set up the go-ahead touchdown pass to Peacock. After the teams traded punts, Montana’s Dan Moore highlighted one of the best performances in recent history by a visiting player at Kidd Brewer Stadium when he caught a short pass from Tyler McKinney, broke several tackles, eluded several more and outran the Mountaineer defense for an 87-yard touchdown the would seemingly knot the score at 28-28. However, Griz kicker Chris Lider missed the extra point wide right and Appalachian maintained a 28-27 lead with 8:54 to go in the game. On the ensuing possession, Appalachian put together a vintage 11-play, 78-yard touchdown drive and stretched its lead to 35-27 on two-yard touchdown run by Steven Miller. Facing third-and-16 from the UM 46 midway through the series, Jackson found true freshman Malachi Jones for a 17-yard first-down pass to keep the drive alive. Miller picked up the final 29 yards from there, capped by his second touchdown of the game with 5:05 to play. The Mountaineers appeared to put the game away three plays later when Patrick Blalock intercepted McKinney to give the Apps the ball back on the Montana 43 with 4:24 to go. However, Blalock’s first-career interception was followed by Appalachian’s only three-and-out in five fourth-quarter possessions and the Griz took back over on their own 11 with 2:53 remaining in the ballgame. Thanks to a third-down conversion and two fourth-down conversions, Montana (1-1) marched into Appalachian territory on its final possession. With less than 30 seconds left to play, McKinney went for broke, throwing deep down the left sideline but all-American Demetrius McCray had perfect coverage on the play and made his second interception of the day on the goal line with 18 seconds remaining. Jackson kneeled on the final play of the day to seal the Apps’ first win in three attempts against its cross-country rival. Thanks to 238 all-purpose yards from Moore (145 receiving, 93 rushing), Montana outgained Appalachian, 483417. However, the Mountaineers forced four turnovers while not committing any of their own and ran 82 plays to the Grizzlies’ 74. Jackson led the Mountaineers with 260 yards and two touchdowns on 24-of-34 passing and 65 yards on 16 rushes while accounting for three touchdowns (two passing, one rushing). Price became the second Appalachian receiver in as many games to hit the 100-yard mark, catching eight balls for 103 yards and a score. Miller ran 27 times for 91 yards and a pair of scores. Defensively, senior linebackers Jeremy Kimbrough and Brandon Grier led Appalachian with 14 and 13 tackles, respectively. Grier also had a career high two sacks and three of the Mountaineers’ eight tackles for loss. Montana’s McKinney threw for 307 yards and three touchdowns but was picked off three times in the loss. Safety Matt Hermanson led the Griz with 12 tackles. NOTES: Appalachian State won its 18th-straight regular-season home game ... the Mountaineers moved to 61-19-2 all-time, 21-3 under head coach Jerry Moore and 11-1 in its last 12 home openers ... Appalachian has opened at home with a nationally ranked opponent eight times in the last 14 seasons and moved to 6-2 in those games ... Jackson extended his own school records with his ninth-consecutive 200-yard passing game and ninth-straight performance with at least 250 yards of total offense — all coming in the first nine starts of his career ... McCray had the second twointerception day of his career — the first came in last year’s 24-17 win over No. 1 Georgia Southern ... Appalachian moved to 22-1 in its last 23 games that immediately followed a same-season loss ... since the third week of the 2003 season, the Apps have only lost consecutive games in the same season once (2009 vs. East Carolina and McNeese State) ... a week after allowing a kickoff return for a touchdown and a long punt return that set up another score, as well as missing a field goal, Appalachian was nearly flawless on special teams on Saturday ... the special-teams highlight came when redshirt freshman Henry Barnes leveled Montana’s Chase Naccarato on a first-quarter kickoff return, causing a fumble that was recovered by Matt Watson and set up the Demetrius McCray’s interception on the goal line with 18 Mountaineers’ third first-quarter touchdown. seconds left sealed Appalachian’s first-ever win over Montana.

BOONE, N.C. - No. 21/23 The Citadel jumped out to a 31-0 lead midway through the second quarter and No. 8/7 Appalachian State University football suffered its worst Southern Conference loss in eight years, a 52-28 setback at Kidd Brewer Stadium. The loss snapped a number of long winning streaks for Appalachian State (1-2, 0-1 SoCon) — an 18-game regular-season home winning streak (dating back to 2009), an 18-game SoCon home winning streak (dating back to 2007), an 18-game winning streak in SoCon openers played at home (dating back to 1982), an eight-game winning streak over The Citadel (dating back to 2003) and a nine-game home winning streak over the Bulldogs (dating back to 1992). The Citadel (3-0, 2-0 SoCon) controlled the ballgame from the outset, amassing 325 yards en route to three touchdowns and a field goal on its first four possessions that gave the Bulldogs a 24-0 lead with 7:36 still to play in the second quarter. Things got even better for The Citadel when it blocked an Appalachian punt 80 seconds later and scooped up the loose ball for a touchdown that made it 31-0. The Mountaineers showed signs of life on the ensuing series when they marched 72 yards in just 2:21 and got on the board on Steven Miller’s two-yard touchdown run to make it 31-7 with 3:50 to go before the half. But, with Appalachian needing a stop to take a bit of momentum into the locker room, The Citadel answered with its fourth touchdown — and fifth score — in its first five offensive possessions to take a commanding 38-7 halftime lead. The Bulldogs picked up where they left off in the first half by finding paydirt again on their first drive of the second half which extended their lead to 45-7 less than five minutes into the third quarter. The Mountaineers found a bit of an offensive rhythm in the second half, amassing 264 yards and scoring on three of their five possessions after the break, but it was not enough to keep The Citadel from handing Appalachian its most lopsided loss to an NCAA Division I FCS opponent since a 54-7 setback at Georgia Southern in 2004. Miller was a bright spot for the Mountaineers, rushing for a career-high 167 yards and three touchdowns on just 21 carriers (8.0 yards per rush). Jamal Jackson completed 23-of-32 passes for 164 yards and ran eight times for 53 yards (6.6 ypr) but failed to reach 200 passing yards and 250 yards of total offense for the first time in 10 games as Appalachian State’s starting quarterback. Defensively, Appalachian tallied nine tackles for loss — its second-highest total in its last 54 games. However, most of those stops behind the line of scrimmage came on first and second down, as The Citadel converted 11-of-14 third-down opportunities. The Bulldogs averaged 15.7 yards per play on the 11 third-down conversions and scored four of their six offensive touchdowns on third downs. All told, the Mountaineers allowed 618 yards, the most it has surrendered since it gave up 695 in a 59-56 loss at Chattanooga in 2004. Jeremy Kimbrough led the Apps’ defensive effort with 14 tackles, marking his fifth-straight game with at least a dozen stops. Ben Dupree led The Citadel’s offensive onslaught with 180 yards and two touchdowns on the ground and 56 more yards on 2-of-4 passing. NOTES: Appalachian State is 1-2 overall for the third time in five seasons ... following its previous two 1-2 starts (2008 and 2009), Appalachian went on to win the Southern Conference championship, advancing to the NCAA Division I Football Championship quartefinals in 2008 and the national semifinals in ‘09 ... the Mountaineers’ last regular-season home loss was on Sept. 12, 2009 (40-35 vs. McNeese State), last SoCon home loss was on Oct. 20, 2007 (38-35 vs. Georgia Southern), last loss in a SoCon opener played at home was on Sept. 18, 1982 (27-21 vs. Furman), last loss to The Citadel was on Sept. 27, 2003 (24-21 in Charleston, S.C.) and last home loss to The Citadel was on Oct. 3, 1992 (25-0) ... the 52 points were the most Appalachian allowed at home since a 52-34 loss to Furman on Sept. 30, 1978 ... MIller’s 167 rushing yards were the most by a Mountaineer since DeAndre Presley ran for 264 yards versus Western Illinois in the second round of the 2010 NCAA Division I Football Championship ... Appalachian played without defensive back Jamill Lott and wide receiver Sean Price, who were serving the second game of twogame suspensions for violations of team rules ... both will be back on the field next week in Chattanooga ... despite returning to practice during the week, running back Rod Chisholm (hand) and defensive back Rodger Walker (illness) were not available to play.

GAME 4 • SEPTEMBER 22 at CHATTANOOGA
NO. 17/18 APPALACHIAN STATE 34 CHATTANOOGA 17 SCORING SUMMARY 1 2 3 4 F MOUNTAINEERS (2-2, 1-1) 0 10 0 24 — 34 MOCS (1-3, 0-1) 10 0 0 7 — 17 ATTENDANCE: 13,726 CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - No. 17/18 Appalachian State University rebounded from an early 10-0 hole to score the game’s next 34 points, 24 of which came in the decisive fourth quarter of the Mountaineers’ impressive 34-17 win over Chattanooga at Finley Stadium. Thanks to a pair of turnovers that could likely be attributed to Appalachian State (2-2, 1-1 SoCon) playing without either of its starting offensive tackles, the Mountaineers found themselves behind 10-0 less than 13 minutes into the game. However, Appalachian dominated the rest of the way, scoring 10 second-quarter points to knot the score at halftime and putting 24 points on the board in a 10:31 span of the final period to pull away from the pesky Mocs. Things started inauspiciously for the Mountaineers, who turned the ball over on each of their first two possessions. On the Apps’ first possession, UTC’s Davis Tull beat Appalachian right tackle Will Corbin to the edge and leveled quarterback Jamal Jackson, who fumbled on the big hit. The Mocs recovered on Appalachian’s eight yard line and two plays later, took a 7-0 lead on Jacob Huesman’s seven-yard touchdown pass to Marion Anthony. On the Mountaineers’ next drive, the pocket collapsed again around Jackson, who was hit as he threw. The pass was picked off by UTC’s Chaz Moore, who returned it 33 yards to the Appalachian 33. However, the turning point in the game may have come on the ensuing series when the Mountaineer defense only allowed the Mocs to turn the miscue into a field goal that stretched the UTC lead to 10-0 with 2:01 to play in the opening period. The second quarter and, frankly, the rest of the game, was all Appalachian State. The Mountaineers outgained the Mocs, 137-30, in the second period and scored on a 38-yard field goal by Drew Stewart and a 35-yard touchdown pass from Jackson to Steven Miller with 32 seconds to go before the half to send the teams to the locker rooms knotted at 10-10. After a scoreless third quarter, Appalachian squelched any hopes of a Chattanooga upset by turning in one of its finest periods in recent memory in the fourth quarter. Spurred by a 30-yard pass from Jackson to Malachi Jones on the next-to-last play of the third quarter, the Mountaineers took their first lead of the game just 59 seconds into the final period on a 38-yard field goal by Stewart that made it 13-10. Chattanooga (1-3, 0-1 SoCon) drove into Appalachian territory on the ensuing possession but the tide of the game turned for good when Jamill Lott picked off a Huesman pass at the Apps’ 26 yard line. Four plays later, Jackson found Sean Price for a 36-yard touchdown pass that stretched the Appalachian lead to 20-10. The Mountaineer defense forced the second of three-straight UTC turnovers two plays later when Demetrius McCray drilled UTC wideout Ron Moore, whose fumble was recovered by Brandon Grier on the Mocs’ 14 yard line. It only took Jackson and Price one play to turn that miscue into another Mountaineer touchdown, a 14-yard connection that made it 27-10. Nine plays later, Grier picked off Huesman for the second time in three series and returned it 70 yards to paydirt. Grier’s first-career touchdown ended any doubt in the final outcome, as it gave Appalachian State a commanding 3410 lead with 3:30 to go in the ballgame. One week after surrendering 618 yards in a 52-28 loss to The Citadel, Appalachian’s defense returned to form, limiting Chattanooga to 270 yards, 65 of which came on the Mocs’ final touchdown drive well after the final outcome was decided. The Mountaineers forced three turnovers — all of which came in the decisive fourth quarter — and held the Mocs to just 87 rushing yards (86 yards below its season average coming in) on 32 attempts (2.7 yards per rush). Huesman, who came into the game averaging 230 yards of total offense per game, to just 156 total yards. Grier led the way with a team-high-tying seven tackles, a sack, an interception, a fumble recovery and a quarterback hurry. Lott and Joel Ross also chipped in with seven tackles apiece. Offensively, Appalachian racked up 401 yards, marking its fourth-straight game with at least 400 total yards. Jackson led the way with 268 yards and three touchdowns on 19-of-30 passing and 27 yards on 11 rushes. Price was his favorite target, catching 10 balls for 130 yards and two scores and going over 100 receiving yards for the second time in as many games this season. Miller went over 90 yards on the ground for the third-straight game, finishing with 94 yards on 22 carries to go along with the 35-yard touchdown reception. NOTES: Appalachian moved to 23-1 in its last 24 games immediately following a same-season loss, dating back to the third week of the 2003 season ... the Mountaineers extended their winning streak over Chattanooga to eight in a row ... Appalachian has won seven-straight at Finley Stadium, including the 2005, 2006 and 2007 NCAA Division I Football national championship games ... App State avoided dropping to 0-2 in conference play for the first time since 1972, its first season in the Southern Conference ... only a junior, Jackson became the 13th player in Appalachian history with 3,000 passing yards, finishing the evening ranked 12th in school history with 3,137 career yards ... Appalachian’s regular starting tackles, Kendall Lamm and Regan Dufort missed the game due to a head injury and a violation of NCAA rules, respectively.

BOONE, N.C. — No. 17/16 Appalachian State University rolled up 684 yards of offense and limited Coastal Carolina’s vaunted passing attack to just 190 yards in a 55-14 romp over the visiting Chanticleers at Kidd Brewer Stadium. Appalachian State (3-2) amassed 286 of its 684 yards in the first quarter alone, en route to grabbing a commanding 21-0 lead after one period. By halftime, the Mountaineers had already topped the 400-yard mark for the fifth time in five games this season and led 34-14. Just one play into the third quarter, they stretched their lead to 4114 while upping their yardage total to 480 on a back-breaking 75-yard touchdown run by Steven Miller. On an afternoon with many stars for the Mountaineers, Miller was the brightest. The senior rushed for careerhigh 202 yards on just 17 carries, good for an 11.9-yard average, while becoming the first Appalachian State player to top the 200-yard rushing plateau since DeAndre Presley ran for 264 yards versus Western Illinois in the second round of the 2010 NCAA Division I Football Championship. Appalachian dominated on both sides of the ball from the outset and, for all intents and purposes, put the game away in the first 18 minutes when it jumped out to a 28-0 lead. The Mountaineers scored touchdowns on four of their first five possessions while forcing Coastal Carolina (2-3) to punt four-straight times to open the ballgame, and limit the Chanticleers’ high-powered offense to just 49 yards in the process. Aside from an interception on its second possession, Appalachian marched up and down the field with ease on its way to the 28-0 lead. The highlight of the four-touchdown spurt came when it marched 97 yards in just two plays — a 28-yard run by Miller and a 69-yard touchdown pass from Jamal Jackson to Sean Price that gave the Mountaineers a 14-0 advantage with 4:50 to go in the first quarter. One series later, the Apps stretched the lead to 21-0 on a diving 23-yard touchdown catch by tight end Drew Bailey and made it 28-0 one drive later when Miller ran in from three yards out for the first of his two touchdown runs on the afternoon. Coastal managed to outscore Appalachian, 14-13, in the second quarter to stay within striking distance at halftime, down 34-14. But after forcing the Chants to go three-and-out on the opening series of the second half, the Mountaineers ended any thoughts of a CCU comeback when Miller ran untouched for the 75-yard score that made it 41-14. From there, Appalachian’s defense forced three more punts and a fumble while the Mountaineer offense tacked on two more touchdowns in their final four possessions — Price’s second touchdown catch of the day from nine yards out and running back Michael Frazier’s first career touchdown run, a 14-yarder — to account for the final score. While Miller and Price (eight receptions for 128 yards and two touchdowns) stole the show statistically, Jackson engineered the 684-yard output. The junior quarterback topped 200 passing yards and 250 yards of total offense for the 11th time in 12 career starts, finishing with 285 yards and three touchdowns on 19-of-27 passing along with 54 yards and another score on 10 rushes. Appalachian’s 684 yards of offense were its most since it had 712 yards in a 52-16 win over Georgia Southern on Oct. 24, 2009. Defensively, the Mountaineers held Coastal Carolina, the nation’s 15th-ranked passing offense coming into the contest, to nearly 100 yards below its average of 288.8 yards per game through the air. CCU quarterback Aramis Hillary, who completed 66.9 percent of his passes in the first four games of the season, connected on just 50 percent of his attempts on Saturday (15-of-30) and threw for just 145 yards — 60 fewer than his previous low output of the season. All-America linebacker Jeremy Kimbrough led the Apps’ defensive effort with 11 tackles. As a team, Appalachian recorded five quarterback hurries, three pass breakups, two tackles for loss and a pass breakup in its constant harrassment of the Chanticleers. NOTES: Appalachian moved to 3-0 all-time versus Coastal Carolina ... in their three wins over CCU, the Mountaineers have outscored the Chanticleers by a combined 95-14 in the first half and 130-45 overall ... Appalachian has won 16-straight games over current members of the Big South Conference, with the last loss coming to Liberty on Nov. 22, 1997 (25-19) ... Appalachian is 42-15-2 all-time against current Big South members ... Miller’s 75-yard touchdown run was the Mountaineers’ longest since Presley ran 89 yards for a score in the 2010 playoff win over Western Illinois ... Price tied a school record with his third-consecutive 100-yard receiving game (Brian Quick - 2011, DaVon Fowlkes - 2003 and Bob Agle - 1968 are the only other Mountaineers to ever accomplish the feat) ... Price is the only freshman in Appalachian State history with even two 100-yard games ... Appalachian, which was wearing alternate Nike Pro Combat uniforms featuring the vintage Yosef logo that adorned the Mountaineers’ uniforms from 1971-79, moved to 9-0 all-time while wearing alternate uniforms ... Nike first provided the Mountaineers with a third uniform to go along with the standard home and away duds in 2008. Drew Bailey’s diving touchdown catch gave Appalachian State a commanding 21-0 lead less than one quarter into its 55-14 rout over Coastal Carolina.

GAME 6 • OCTOBER 6 vs. ELON
ELON 23 NO. 15/14 APPALACHIAN STATE 35 SCORING SUMMARY 1 2 3 4 F PHOENIX (2-4, 0-3) 7 3 7 6 — 23 MOUNTAINEERS (4-2, 2-1) 0 14 7 14 — 35 ATTENDANCE: 29,073 BOONE, N.C. — Jamal Jackson set career highs with 398 yards of total offense and five touchdowns accounted for to lead No. 15/14 Appalachian State University to a hard-fought 35-24 victory over visiting Elon at Kidd Brewer Stadium. Jackson also set career highs with four touchdown passes and 94 rushing yards in Appalachian State’s 17thstraight victory over Elon. The junior finished with 304 yards on 20-of-29 passing and had a rushing touchdown to go along with his four scores through the air. Despite Jackson’s gaudy numbers, the game was a battle for Appalachian (4-2, 2-1 SoCon), which overcame a career-high 419 passing yards by Elon’s Thomas Wilson to pull away from the Phoenix in the second half. The Mountaineers struggled on both sides of the ball throughout the first half but thanks to a career-long 54yard touchdown catch by Tony Washington with 1:01 to go before halftime, they took a 14-10 advantage into the break. Appalachian’s halftime lead came despite allowing Elon to amass 293 yards in the first two periods while going three-and-out on three of its first six offensive possessions and throwing an interception on a fourth. Elon (2-4, 0-3 SoCon) regained the lead at 17-14 on its first possession of the second half but three series later, the Mountaineers took the lead for good when Andrew Peacock capped a six-play, 93-yard drive with a 25-yard touchdown catch that pushed the Apps ahead, 21-17. Senior running back Steven Miller, who was Appalachian’s unlikely receiving leader with five receptions for 97 yards and two touchdowns (all career highs), gave Appalachian its first two-score cushion two possessions later when he hauled in his second touchdown catch of the day from 23 yards out that stretched the advantage to 28-17. Just 1:21 later, Elon pulled back within five points at 28-23 on Aaron Mellette’s third touchdown catch of the day but following a 35-yard kickoff return by Washington, Appalachian marched 62 yards on seven plays and took a 35-23 lead on Jackson’s one-yard touchdown run on fourth down. From there, Appalachian’s defense took over, limiting Elon to 25 yards the rest of the way. The Apps ended any hopes of an Elon comeback when they picked off Wilson for the third time on the Phoenix’s final offensive play. The teams combined for over 1,000 yards of total offense, with Elon racking up 515 and Appalachian going for 499. However, the Mountaineers held significant advantages in rushing (195-96) and turnover margin (3-1) and got a big boost on special teams with 63 yards on three kickoff returns (21.0 avg.) compared to zero kickoff-return yards for the Phoenix. Troy Sanders led the Mountaineers’ defensive effort with 11 tackles, including one for loss. Jeremy Kimbrough, Demetrius McCray and Jamill Lott all had interceptions, with Kimbrough’s and McCray’s pickoffs both thwarting drives deep in Appalachian territory. Buoyed by the disputed 59-yard touchdown catch early in the second half when he ran out of bounds but officials’ determined that he had been pushed out, allowing him to come back in bounds to haul in the long scoring reception unmolested, Mellette finished with 237 yards on 13 catches. The rest of Elon’s receivers combined for just 12 receptions on the ballgame. Appalachian has amassed at least 400 yards of total offense in each of its first six games of the season for the first time since joining the NCAA Division I ranks in 1972. NOTES: Appalachian’s 17-game winning streak over Elon began with a 9-0 win over the then-Fighting Christians in Elon on Oct. 2, 1965 ... the Mountaineers have not lost to Elon since a 28-7 setback at then-Conrad Stadium on Oct. 3, 1964 ... it has been 17,535 days since Appalachian last lost to Elon ... the Mountaineers won their 10th-straight homecoming game and moved to 38-11-2 all-time on homecoming at Conrad/Kidd Brewer Stadium ... Appalachian won for the 64th time in its last 70 home games and 49th time in its last 56 Southern Conference games ... Jackson’s 398 yards of total offense are good for a tie for 16th in Appalachian State history and were the 27th-most in NCAA Division I FCS this season ... Jackson moved into ninth in school history with 3,726 career passing yards, surpassing Appalachian assistant head coach/offensive coordinator Scott Satterfield (3,504 yards - 1992-95) in the process ... Jackson also moved into ninth in Appalachian history with 296 career completions and Jackson has passed for at least 200 yards and had at least 250 yards of total offense 12 times in his 13 career starts ... McCray’s third-quarter interception was the ninth of his career, good for eighth among all active FCS players.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Sean Price hauled in a 22-yard touchdown pass from Jamal Jackson with 22 seconds to go to give No. 13/12 Appalachian State University a thrilling 28-25 victory over No. 25 Samford at Seibert Stadium. Trailing 25-21 with 1:33 to go in the ballgame, Jackson engineered a seven-play, 80-yard drive to lead Appalachian State (5-2, 3-1 SoCon) to its fourth-straight victory. The game-winning drive was set up by Appalachian’s defense, which stopped Samford twice with the Bulldogs needing only one yard to seal their first victory over the Mountaineers since 1970. On second-and-one with 2:33 to play, Ronald Blair and Davante Harris stuffed SU’s Jeremiaha Gates for no gain and, on the following play, Blair and Adam Scott combined to keep Gates short of the first down marker again, forcing Samford to punt. The boot sailed into Appalachian’s end zone, setting the stage for the late-game heroics. After an incomplete pass to open the drive, Jackson hit Price for a 20-yard gain. Two plays later, Jackson scrambled for 17 yards to move the Mountaineers into Samford field position and, after an incomplete pass, he connected with Andrew Peacock for a 21-yard pass that gave the Apps the ball on the 22 yard line. On the very next play, Jackson lofted the ball into the end zone for Price, who had a step on Samford defensive back James Bradberry. Price stretched out to make a spectacular lunging catch and got his right foot down inside the right sideline before Bradberry was able to push him out of out-of-bounds. The official, in great position to make the call, displayed the touchdown signal immediately, setting off a wild celebration along the Appalachian sideline and stunning Samford’s homecoming crowd that was announced at 9,712 at 6,700-seat Seibert Stadium. Samford returned the ensuing kickoff six yards to its 36 yard line but lost six yards on its first two plays thanks to a dropped pass and Scott’s third sack of the game. On the final play of the ballgame, Samford attempted to lateral its way to a 70-yard game-winning touchdown but Appalachian’s Brandon Grier ultimately came away with the ball and nearly returned it for a touchdown before being dragged down at the 3 yard line as time expired. For most of the afternoon, it did not appear that Appalachian would need a heart-stopping finish to come away with its fourth-straight victory. Despite struggling offensively, the Mountaineers jumped out to a 21-10 halftime lead and held the same advantage going into the fourth quarter. However, Samford (5-2, 3-2 SoCon) erupted in final period and put together back-to-back touchdown drives that turned the seemingly safe 11-point Mountaineer lead into a four-point deficit with 7:37 left to play. Appalachian responded to the Bulldogs’ go-ahead touchdown by driving 67 yards on its ensuing possession but the series stalled out at the Samford 15 yard line with 4:01 to go. The Bulldogs immediately picked up a first down, followed by a nine-yard run that set up the second- and third-down stops and put the game-winning sequence in motion. Although it sputtered for much of the day, Appalachian’s offense stepped up when it mattered most, racking up 179 of its 413 yards in the fourth quarter. With the 413-yard performance, the Mountaineers surpassed the 400-yard plateau for the seventh-straight game to open the season, extending a school record. Jackson accounted for 294 of the 413 yards, highlighted by 288 yards and two touchdowns on 22-of-39 passing. For the second-straight week, senior running back Steven Miller set career highs for receptions and receiving yards, finishing with team-high 98 yards on six catches. Miller also ran for 88 yards on 17 carries. Peacock was Jackson’s favorite target with seven receptions for 60 yards while Price shrugged off a slow start to finish with 90 yards on five catches. Defensively, the star was Scott, who made his first-career start in place of injured Deuce Robinson and finished with three sacks among his career-high seven tackles. Sophomore Joel Ross opened the scoring for the Mountaineers with a 17-yard interception return for a touchdown in the first quarter and Jeremy Kimbrough led the squad with 10 stops. All told, the Mountaineer defense limited Samford to just 337 total yards, which was the Bulldogs’ lowest output of the season. NOTES: Appalachian State won a game on its final offensive play for the first time since Armanti Edwards found Matt Cline for a four-yard touchdown pass with 10 seconds left to lift Appalachian to a 35-31 win over Richmond in the NCAA Division I Football Championship quarterfinals in 2009 ... Appalachian moved to 6-1 all-time versus Samford with its fifth-straight win over the Bulldogs ... the Mountaineers remain as the only Southern Conference team that Samford has not defeated in its five seasons in the league ... Appalachian is 4-0 all-time against SU in Birmingham and moved to 5-4 in games played in the state of Alabama ... Jackson became the ninth 4,000-yard passer in Appalachian State history, finishing the day with 4,014 career yards ... Jackson also became the ninth passer in school history with 300 completions, finishing the game with 318 for his career ... Appalachian had a season-high six sacks defensively but also surrendered a season-high four sacks ... coming into Saturday, the Mountaineers had surrendered a total of five sacks all season.

BOONE, N.C. — No. 8/9 Wofford scored 14 points in a 70-second span of the fourth quarter to defeat No. 13/11 Appalachian State University, 38-28, at Kidd Brewer Stadium. The loss snapped a four-game winning streak for Appalachian State (5-3, 3-2 SoCon) and took the Mountaineers out of control of their own destiny in the race for a seventh Southern Conference championship in eight years. Wofford (6-1, 4-1 SoCon), which won at Kidd Brewer Stadium for the first time since 2002, remained in the thick of the SoCon title chase, a half-game behind No. 3 Georgia Southern ( 6-1, 5-1 SoCon). Appalachian took a 28-24 lead on Tony Washington’s 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown with 4:54 to go in the third quarter but Wofford responded with an 11-play, 75-yard drive and retook a 31-28 advantage on Eric Breitenstein’s second one-yard touchdown of the afternoon on the first play of the final period. The momentum swung firmly in Wofford’s direction just 1:10 later when defensive end Tarek Odom scored on a controversial 40-yard fumble return to stretch the Terriers’ advantage to 38-28. On the play in question, video replays show that Appalachian State quarterback Jamal Jackson threw the ball several yards into the ground while trying to escape the grasp of a pair of Wofford defenders. However, Southern Conference officials announced that their ruling was that Jackson’s arm was not going forward in a throwing motion and the back-breaking touchdown stood. Three series later, the Mountaineers suffered their second tough break of the fourth quarter but this time, the misfortune was of their own doing, as Drew Stewart pulled a chip-shot 24-yard field goal wide left with 5:05 to go in the ballgame. Stewart’s third-straight missed field goal came after Appalachian drove 79 yards in 14 plays and kept the Mountaineers’ deficit at 10 points. Appalachian got the ball back with 2:46 to go and drove inside the 10 yard line but, needing two scores to tie or take the lead instead of just one following to the disputed fumble call, the drive stalled as time expired. The Mountaineers struggled offensively for much of the day and were held to a season-low 363 yards but remained in the game due to a pair of non-offensive touchdowns. In addition to Washington’s 99-yard kickoff return in the third quarter, Appalachian also got a 47-yard fumble return by sophomore Joel Ross that put the Apps on the board in the second period. Defensively, the Mountaineers held Wofford’s high-powered triple-option offense in check for much of the afternoon but were done in by big plays. Two-hundred-and-44 of the Terriers’ 440 yards came on just seven plays (34.9 yards per play) while their remaining 60 snaps netted just 3.3 yards per play. Breitenstein, Wofford’s stocky allAmerica fullback, finished with a game-high 123 yards on 24 rushes, but outside of a 57-yard burst in the first quarter, the Boone native managed just 66 yards on his remaining 23 carries (2.9 avg.). Jeremy Kimbrough led Appalachian’s defensive effort with a season-high 15 tackles while Ronald Blair and Karl Anderson each added a career-high 10. Jackson led the Mountaineers on offense with 289 yards of total offense (257 passing, 32 rushing) but was plagued by several drops by his receivers and did not throw a touchdown pass for the first time in five games. Washington, Andrew Peacock and Sean Price each had seven receptions and Steven Miller rushed for 68 yards and a touchdown. NOTES: Appalachian State has lost two home games in a season for the first time since 2002 ... the Mountaineers dropped to 17-9 in their last 26 games against top-10 teams ... Appalachian fell to 12-3 all-time at home against Wofford ... Jackson became the eighth player in Appalachian State history with 5,000 yards of total offense, finishing the day with 5,032 total yards ... Washington’s touchdown was Appalachian’s first on a kickoff return since CoCo Hillary’s 95-yard return for a score at Wofford on Sept. 22, 2007 ... the 99-yard return was the second-longest in Appalachian history, behind only Keith Nash’s school-record 100-yarder at Lenoir-Rhyne on Oct. 12, 1968 ... Ross’ touchdown was his second in as many weeks — the sophomore returned an interception 17 yards to paydirt last Saturday at Samford.

Appalachian State (6-3, 4-2 SoCon) retained possession of the Old Mountain Jug, the traveling trophy awarded to the winner of the annual meeting between the longtime rivals, with its eighth-straight victory and 26th triumph in the last 28 years over Western Carolina (1-8, 0-7 SoCon). The story of the day was Appalachian quarterback Logan Hallock, who entered the game in place of injured starter Jamal Jackson in the first quarter and completed the first 20 passes of his career, helping the Mountaineers stretch an early 10-0 lead to a commanding 38-13 advantage when he found tight end Drew Bailey for a 16-yard touchdown pass on the first play of the fourth quarter. Hallock, whose only two previous plays as a college quarterback came when he handed off twice to close out Appalachian’s 55-14 win over Coastal Carolina on Sept. 29, finished with 230 yards on 20-of-21 passing and two touchdowns. His sterling .952 completion percentage set a school record, breaking the previous mark of .895 (17-19) set by Armanti Edwards in a 70-24 win over Wofford in 2008. Not to be overshadowed by Hallock’s unlikely starring role was the performance turned in by senior running back Steven Miller, who set career highs with 245 rushing yards and 34 carries in the smashmouth victory. In the process, Miller became only the 12th running back in Appalachian State history to eclipse the 1,000-yard rushing plateau in a season, finishing the day with 1,077 yards on the campaign, and the first since Devon Moore in 2009. Freshman wide receiver Sean Price also helped Hallock’s cause, matching his own Appalachian State freshman record with 10 receptions for a career-high 142 yards and a back-breaking 18-yard touchdown catch on the Mountaineers’ final offensive play of the first half that gave Appalachian a 24-7 halftime lead. In addition the efforts of the offensive trio of Hallock, Miller and Price, it was Appalachian’s stifling defense that helped the Mountaineers dominate the action for most of the game. Appalachian did not allow Western Carolina to register its first first down of the ballgame until only 3:44 remained in the first half and held a commanding 484-167 advantage in total yardage after three quarters. The Catamounts made it interesting with a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns to pull within two scores at 38-27 but the Apps forced an interception and a turnover on downs on WCU’s final two possessions to seal the victory. In all, Appalachian’s defense forced five three-and-outs and allowed only 316 yards of total offense, nearly 50 yards fewer than the Catamounts’ season average of 365.8 coming in to the afternoon. The Mountaineers sacked WCU freshman quarterback Troy Mitchell seven times, good for the Apps’ highest sack total since they also recorded seven against Jacksonville in 2008, and tallied a season-high-tying nine tackles for loss. Filling in for injured weakside linebacker Brandon Grier, Karl Anderson led the Mountaineers with a career-hightying 10 tackles. Senior middle linebacker Jeremy Kimbrough added nine tackles and set career highs with three sacks and 3.5 tackles for loss. NOTES: Appalachian State moved to 24-1 in its last 25 games immediately following a same-season loss ... since the third week of the 2003 campaign, the only time that the Mountaineers have lost consecutive games in the same season was when it opened 2009 with back-to-back setbacks to East Carolina and McNeese State ... Jackson was cleared to return to action in the second half but Appalachian State’s coaches elected to not put him back in the game ... Jackson is officially listed as day-to-day ... Anderson and right guard Tucker Lee both made their firstcareer starts ... Appalachian moved to 58-18-1 all-time against its Western Carolina, including a 30-7 edge since the inception of the Old Mountain Jug in 1976.

ATTENDANCE: 22,155 STATESBORO, Ga. - For the second-straight year, Appalachian State University knocked Georgia Southern off its perch atop the NCAA Division I FCS rankings, downing the No. 1 Eagles, 31-28, on Saturday afternoon at jam-packed Paulson Stadium. Combined with Samford’s 24-17 double-overtime win over Wofford on Saturday, No. 15/14 Appalachian State (7-3, 5-2 SoCon) once again controls its own destiny in the pursuit of its seventh Southern Conference championship in eight years. The Mountaineers can clinch the SoCon title with a win over Furman (3-6, 2-4 SoCon) next Saturday at Kidd Brewer Stadium. Despite the demoralizing loss, No. 2/1 Georgia Southern (7-2, 6-2 SoCon) backed into at least a share of its second-straight SoCon crown with Wofford’s loss. While Appalachian State’s offense and some timely Georgia Southern miscues kept the Mountaineers in the game for much of the afternoon, it was the performance of the Appalachian defense that proved to be the difference down the stretch. Appalachian, which trailed 14-3 after one quarter and 28-24 going into the fourth, took a 31-28 lead on Tony Washington’s acrobatic 23-yard touchdown catch with 11:25 to go in the ballgame. From there, the story was the Mountaineer defense. After not forcing Georgia Southern’s first punt of the ballgame until just 11 seconds remained in the third quarter, Appalachian turned in three-straight three-and-outs down the stretch. However, the Mountaineers punted back to GSU with 7:46 to go and the Eagles began to methodically move down the field against the Mountaineers’ fatigued defense, which was on the field for 38:32 on the afternoon. Georgia Southern converted a pair of third downs on the drive and moved all the way to the Appalachian 22, where it faced fourth-and-four with 1:35 to go. On the fourth-down play, Tray Butler rushed for what would have been a first down but was aided by teammate Jonathan Bryant grabbing a would-be tackler’s facemask. The personal-foul call backed GSU up to the 34 yard line and, not willing to put the game in the hands of 51-yard field goal attempt by place-kicker Alex Hanks (who missed three field goals earlier in the game), Georgia Southern head coach Jeff Monken elected to go for it on fourth-and-16. Under heavy pressure from Appalachian defensive end and Georgia native Ronald Blair, GSU quarterback Jerick McKinnon heaved up a desperation pass on fourth-and-16 that was intercepted by Mountaineer safety Troy Sanders with 53 seconds left to seal the Mountaineers’ sixth victory in its last eight games against Georgia Southern, including three of the last four played at Paulson Stadium. Although the game will likely be remembered for the heart-stopping finish, the story of the afternoon was Appalachian’s offense, particularly the play of junior quarterback Jamal Jackson and freshman wide receiver Sean Price. Jackson, who sustained a knee injury in the first quarter of last Saturday’s win at Western Carolina, torched a Georgia Southern defense that had allowed just 147.8 passing yards per game on the season (good for fourth nationally) for a career-high 383 yards and three touchdowns. Once again, Jackson’s favorite target was Price, who set an Appalachian State freshman record with 231 yards on seven receptions. His dazzling 56-yard catch-and-run for a touchdown was one of the biggest plays of Appalachian’s 21-point second quarter while his 67-yard gain on third-and-29 from inside the Mountaineer one yard line in the third quarter flipped field position and set up the Apps’ late defensive surge and, ultimately, Washington’s go-ahead touchdown early in the final period. Sanders had 10 tackles, including two for loss, to go along with the game-clinching interception to lead Appalachian defensively. Filling in for regular starter Brandon Grier for the second-straight week, linebacker Karl Anderson also recorded 10 stops, as did fellow linebacker Jeremy Kimbrough. NOTES: Appalachian State moved to 4-5 all-time against teams ranked No. 1 in one of the major NCAA Division I FCS polls (media or coaches - Georgia Southern was No. 1 in this week’s coaches’ rankings) ... the win was Appalachian’s first-ever against a No. 1 team on the road ... Price extended his own Appalachian freshman record with his fifth 100-yard game of the season and set a new freshman record with his eighth touchdown reception of the campaign ... Price also holds the school’s freshman records for receptions (58) and receiving yards (914) ... Price’s 231 yards are good for a tie for fourth in Appalachian’s singlegame history overall and were the most by any Mountaineer since DaVon Fowlkes’ schoolrecord 280 yards against Elon on Nov. 6, 2004 ... freshman Malachi Jones’ nine-yard touchdown catch with 49 seconds to go in the second quarter was the first of his career score ... the win was Appalachian’s first in a game that it trailed after three quarters since it came back from a 28-14 deficit after three periods at Chattanooga in the 2010 season opener. Tony Washington’s 23-yard touchdown proved to be the difference in Appalachian State’s 31-28 win at top-ranked GSU.

BOONE, N.C. — Troy Sanders intercepted a pass at the Appalachian State University five yard line as time expired and the 12th-ranked Mountaineers clinched their record-tying 12th Southern Conference championship with a 33-28 triumph over Furman at Kidd Brewer Stadium. Appalachian State (8-3, 6-2 SoCon) led 27-14 at halftime, but Furman (3-7, 2-5 SoCon) scored two touchdowns in an 18-second span early in the third quarter to take a 28-27 lead. However, buoyed by a defense that allowed only one touchdown all afternoon and two second-half field goals from Sam Martin, the Mountaineers took a 33-28 lead with 6:04 left in the ballgame. Appalachian’s defense forced a third-straight Furman punt with 3:50 to go but the Mountaineers managed only one first down on their ensuing possession and had to punt back to the Paladins with 1:57 remaining on the clock. A 62-yard punt by Martin pinned Furman at its own one yard line but the Paladins clawed their way out of the shadow of their goal post and, thanks to third-down and fourth-down conversions on the series, drove all the way to the App State 42, with six seconds to go. However, FU’s hail-mary pass attempt was picked off by Sanders at the five yard line and the senior co-captain slid to the ground as the clock hit 0:00, setting off a wild on-field celebration that included many of the 28,986 fans in attendance for the title-clinching triumph. Appalachian dominated the action for much of the afternoon, but surrendered three non-offensive touchdowns on a 100-yard kickoff return and a pair of fumble recoveries that allowed Furman to stay in the game. The Mountaineers outgained the Paladins, 488-300, and also held significant statistical advantages in first downs (27-16), rushing yards (149-97), passing yards (339-203), third-down conversions (6 of 15-5 of 14) and time of possession (32:58-27:02). The Mountaineers took leads of 10-0 and 17-7 in the first 20 minutes of the ballgame but each time, Furman responded with non-offensive touchdowns that cut the Appalachian advantage back to three points — first on Jerodis Williams’ second 100-yard kickoff return of the season and later when Gary Wilkins recovered a Jamal Jackson fumble in the end zone. Appalachian regained control by scoring the final 10 points of the opening half, capped by Andrew Peacock’s 18-yard touchdown catch with 24 seconds to go in the half that gave the Mountaineers the seemingly commanding 13-point lead at the break. However, before many fans were settled back into their seats for the second half, the lead evaporated. Furman took the opening kickoff after halftime and marched 75 yards in 10 plays to score its only offensive touchdown of the game on a 10 yard pass from Reese Hannon to Jordan Snellings that cut the Mountaineers’ advantage to 27-21. Then, on the first play of the ensuing series, Appalachian’s Tony Washington fumbled after a short gain and the loose ball was scooped up by FU’s Carl Rider, who scampered 27 yards for a touchdown that gave the Paladins a shocking 28-27 lead. Appalachian responded by driving all the way to the Furman one yard line on its next possession but had to settle for a 19-yard field goal by Martin that gave the Mountaineers the lead for good at 30-28 with 5:37 to go in the third quarter. From there, Appalachian State’s defense rose to the occasion, limiting Furman to just 52 yards over its next four possessions. The four-series dominance began with an interception by Demetrius McCray and was capped by threestraight punts that allowed the Mountaineers to stetch the lead to 33-28 on Martin’s fourth and final field goal of the day and set up the heart-stopping finish. Offensively, Appalachian was led by Peacock, who set career highs with 11 receptions and 130 receiving yards and also threw a seven-yard touchdown to Drew Bailey on the first pass attempt of his career, which came on a reverse option early in the second quarter. He almost added a touchdown run to the scoring pass and catch but a would-be seven-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter was negated by a holding penalty. Freshman Sean Price also surpassed the 100-yard receiving mark, finishing with 115 yards on 10 catches to give Appalachian two 100-yard receivers in a game for only the fourth time in school history. Jackson finished with 332 yards on 32-of-46 passing, making him just the fourth passer in Appalachian’s all-time annals with back-to-back 300-yard performances, and running back Steven Miller rounded out the offensive leaders with 170 yards and a touchdown on 25 carries. Defensively, Jeremy Kimbrough led the way with a career-high 17 tackles. Sanders chipped in with seven tackles, a pass breakup and the game-ending interception while Patrick Blalock added six stops, a tackle for loss, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. NOTES: Appalachian State shares the 2012 SoCon title with Georgia Southern (8-2, 6-2 SoCon) and Wofford (82, 6-2 SoCon) ... Appalachian’s 12th SoCon championship ties it with Furman for the most titles in the conference’s 79-year history ... the Mountaineers’ 12 titles have come in 41 seasons in the conference while Furman’s have come in 74 years in the league ... Appalachian State is only the second program in SoCon history to win seven conference crowns in a span of eight years — Georgia Southern also accomplished the feat in 1997-2002, 2004 ... Appalachian moved to 12-2 all-time in games when it could clinch a SoCon title with a win ... the Mountaineers have won nine-straight potential SoCon championship-clinchers, dating back to 1995 ... Appalachian won for the 11th time in the last 14 games, 10th time in the last 12 games and seventh time in the last eight games versus Furman ... the Mountaineers have won nine-straight over Furman at home, with its last loss to the Paladins at Kidd Brewer Stadium coming in 1996 ... Price became the first freshman and sixth player overall in Appalachian State history with 1,000 receiving yards in a season, finishing the regular season with 1,029 ... he needs only 45 yards during the postseason to break the NCAA Division I FCS freshman Troy Sanders’ interception on the final play of the record of 1,073, set by Marshall’s Randy Moss in 1996. game clinched Appalachian State’s 12th SoCon title.

ATTENDANCE: 27,115 BOONE, N.C. — Illinois State’s Shelby Harris blocked Appalachian State University’s would-be game-tying extra point at the end of overtime to deal the Mountaineers a heart-wrenching 38-37 defeat in the second round of the NCAA Division I Football Championship on Saturday afternoon at Kidd Brewer Stadium. No. 7/6 Appalachian State (8-4) rallied from an 11-point deficit in the fourth quarter to send the game to overtime but Harris’ blocked PAT lifted No. 16/15 Illinois State (9-3) to next weekend’s national quarterfinals, where it will face No. 2-seeded Eastern Washington. Down 28-17 going into the final period, Appalachian put together back-to-back touchdown drives of 46 and 81 yards, sandwiched around an Illinois State field goal, to knot the score at 31-31. The Mountaineers drove to near midfield on their final possession of regulation but were forced to punt on fourth-and-one, sending the game to overtime. Appalachian State won the coin toss and elected to play defense first in overtime but the Redbirds scored on their first play of the extra period to take a 38-31 lead. The Mountaineers needed only three plays to answer ISU’s touchdown with a four-yard scoring toss from Jamal Jackson to Andrew Peacock. With Appalachian needing only the extra point to send the contest to a second overtime, Harris broke free up the middle and easily blocked Sam Martin’s game-tying attempt. Although Appalachian never led, the game was a nip-and-tuck affair throughout. Both teams made spectacular plays in the passing game (combining for 705 yards and eight touchdowns through the air), struggled to establish a presence on the ground (96 rushing yards for ISU, 51 for Appalachian) and excelled on third down (Illinois State converted 7-of-15 and Appalachian converted 8-of-17, including 7-of-9 in the second half ). There were also terrific individual battles throughout the evenly matched contest. Despite continuing to battle a knee injury that was sustained on Oct. 27 at Western Carolina and will require offseason surgery, Jackson completed 33-of-45 passes for 373 yards and two touchdowns. ISU’s Matt Brown countered by completing 20-of-32 passes for 322 yards and five touchdowns, which were the most touchdown passes ever allowed by Appalachian in the postseason. Appalachian’s Sean Price caught a game-high 13 passes for 167 yards. In the process, he became the all-time NCAA Division I FCS freshman leader in receptions (81) and receiving yards (1,196), shattering the previous records of 71 receptions (set by Cal State Northridge’s Drew Amerson in 1999) and 1,073 yards (set by Marshall’s Randy Moss in 1996). However, Redbird wideout Tyrone Walker was just as impressive with 10 catches for 176 yards (also the most ever compiled against the Mountaineers in the postseason) and touchdowns of 41 and 32 yards. Both Walker and tight end James O’Shaughnessy, who hauled in touchdown catches from nine and 25 yards out, matched the record for touchdown receptions against Appalachian State in a postseason game. Defensively, Appalachian State linebacker Jeremy Kimbrough led all players with 15 tackles in his final collegiate game. Ben Ericken paced the Redbirds with 12 stops and was joined in double-figures by Matt Goldsmith, who also broke up two passes. NOTES: Appalachian State has lost three-consecutive NCAA Division I Football Championship games for the first time since it lost four-straight playoff games from 1987-92 ... each of the Mountaineers’ last three playoff defeats have come at Kidd Brewer Stadium, marking the first time it has ever lost three-straight postseason games at home ... Appalachian fell to 1-2 all-time in postseason overtime games (W, 17-10, at New Hampshire in 1994; L, 19-16, at Montana in 2000) ... the blocked PAT notwithstanding, Martin had a spectacular day, averaging 48.9 yards over seven punts with a long of 62 and five downed inside the 20, which allowed him to set a new single-season school record with 25 punts downed inside the 20 yard line this season (previous record of 24 was set by Appalachian State Hall of Famer Harold Alexander in 1991) ... Martin also booted each of his five kickoffs out of the back of the end zone for touchbacks ... in addition to recording a career-high 11 catches for the second-straight game and finishing with 79 receiving yards, Peacock also threw the game-tying 10-yard touchdown pass out of the wildcat formation to tight end Drew Bailey with 3:31 to go in regulation ... the touchdown pass marked the second game in a row that Peacock has thrown a touchdown pass to Bailey, which have also been the only two pass attempts of Peacock’s career ... the attendance of 16,719 was the largest for a postseason opener in Appalachian State history, surpassing the 16,233 that attended the a 45-28 win over Coastal Carolina in the first round of the 2006 NCAA Division I Football Championship.

NCAA STATISTICAL POLICY Before 2002, postseason games were not included in NCAA final football statistics or records. Despite the NCAA policy, Appalachian State previously recognized statistics from all games — regular season and postseason — in its single-season and career records. However, in order to maintain consistency with NCAA and Southern Conference records, beginning in 2006, Appalachian readjusted its single-season and career records, eliminating statistics compiled in 19 NCAA Division I-AA playoff games played before 2002. Many thanks to former associate sports information director Ty Patton for his assistance in this task.

Without starting quarterback Richie Williams, who was out with a severe ankle injury in the first half, Appalachian State fell behind, 16-7.
Murrell’s counterpart on the defensive line, Jason Hunter, scooped up the loose ball at the UNI 15.

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 Appalachian 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.

Appalachian defensive end Marques Murrell came off the left edge to strip the ball from Sanders.

ATTENDANCE: 22,808 Appalachian State struggled to move the ball in each of its first two possessions, but after a sack to start its third series, Appalachian 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 Appalachian State 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 APP Kevin Richardson 45 run (Julian Rauch kick)
APPALACHIAN STATE 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 Appalachian territory. The Mountaineers got the ball for only the second time in the second period when they fielded a punt at their 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 sixyard 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 APP Brad Listorti 17 pass from Liam Coen (Koepplin kick) FOURTH QUARTER 13:22 APP Richardson 4 run (Rauch kick) 8:46 UM Koepplin 42 field goal 1:51 APP Richardson 2 run (Rauch kick)
APPALACHIAN STATE 14 • UMASS 7 0:49 TO GO • SECOND QUARTER After UMass knotted the contest at 14-14 with an 11play, 81-yard scoring drive, Appalachian 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 Mountaineers’ 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 sevenpoint lead with 13:22 remaining in the ballgame.

APPALACHIAN STATE 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 State 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 Appalachian’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 victorysealing 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.

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.

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 Appalachian advantage back to 21 points. Delaware would get no closer the rest of the evening.

With Richardson and the majority of Appalachian’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 Appalachian’s nine touchdowns but the most memorable play of the evening was undoubtedly the touchdown run by Elder, who was Appalachian’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.

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.

YOSEF HISTORY AND TRADITIONS
Yosef 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.
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 48-year-old World War II veteran, was one of the first Yosef mascots. Geffrich helped

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. Responsible for providing school spirit, Yosef is a member of the cheerleading

Carolina have clashed on the gridiron 77 times. Leading the all-time series by a margin of 58-18-1, Appalachian has dominated the series 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 State 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. 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. Appalachian

HISTORY AND TRADITIONS
State holds a commanding 30-7 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, Appalachian 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 24-year tenure of legendary Appalachian head coach, Jerry Moore.
Western Carolina put a halt to the Appalachian State winning streak by handing the
Mountaineers 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 State
took it back in 2005 and has gone on to defeat Western each of the last eight years. Highlighting Appalachian’s current string of seven-straight wins over WCU are the three shellacking in 2007 and a 46-14 blowout in 2011 (all three coming in Boone).
In addition to Appalachian State’s eight-game overall winning streak in the series,
the Mountaineers have won 14-straight games played in Boone, with their last home loss to the Catamounts coming in 1984.

NO. 23 JOHN SETTLE
NO. 32 DEXTER COAKLEY
On Nov. 22, 1986, before his last
regular-season game at Kidd Brewer Stadium, the legendary John Settle became the first Appalachian State 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
Appalachian State retired John Settle’s No. 23 on Nov. 22, 1986.
from Boone, he was the third-ranked rusher in NCAA Division I-AA football history.
Settle, a criminal justice major while at Appalachian State, 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,
www.appstatesports.com • www.playattherock.com
and strength and conditioning. His experienced football mind was also used in the evaluation of personnel. In 1998, Settle returned to the college game as the running backs coach 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 the NFL, spending two seasons with the Carolina Panthers’ running backs coach. In 2013, he took the same position with the Cleveland Browns. 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. Currently the Cleveland Browns’ running backs coach, John Settle enjoyed a sixyear NFL playing career.

I hope that someday I will have the opportunity to give back to a place that has given so much to me.”
Perhaps 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 State to 32 victories and two NCAA I-AA playoff appearances. The Mt. Pleasant, S.C. native made an immediate impact on Appalachian’s squad and led the Mountaineers 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 Appalachian back to the I-AA playoffs after a one-year hiatus and Appalachian State retired Dexter Coakley’s a first-round, overtime victory over No. 32 on April 19, 2005. No. 7 New Hampshire 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 Appalachian State’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 Appalachian, 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! Sports Camp for Girls Coakley and his wife, Nicole, have a daughter, Trinity, and a son, Zahn. The family resides in Dallas, Texas, where Dexter has a career in commercial real estate and land development in addition Dexter Coakley played eight of his 10 NFL seasons for the Dallas Cowboys and to his continued work with youth and made three Pro Bowl appearances. charity organizations.

HISTORY AND TRADITIONS
APPALACHIAN HEROES
ROB BEST, SHAWN ELLIOTT & STACY SEARELS
As 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 Appalachian’s 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.
Rob Best, Stacy Searels and Shawn Elliott were presented with the NCAA Award of Valor, recognizing individuals who, when confronted with a situation involving personal danger, averted or minimized potential disaster by courageous action or noteworthy bravery.

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 Appalachian State 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 Appalachian 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 Searels 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 Appalachian State 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 and Searels at Texas.
BRIAN STOKES Many events on the gridiron during Appalachian State’s run to consecutive NCAA Division I national championships in 2005 and ‘06 were described as heroic. However, Appalachian benefitted from the presence of a true hero on the field and in the locker room during the championship campaigns. Brian Stokes came to Appalachian 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 high-school career, the former Shrine Bowl participant was granted just two years of eligibility at Appalachian 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 a degree in criminal justice in 2008. A movie chronicling Stokes’ journey is in early production stages. Purple Heart recipient Brian Stokes

NOVEMBER 8, 1975
Holding a 17-14 lead at the half, Appalachian State 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.

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.

After South Carolina scooped up a Price fumble and returned it for the first points of the day, Appalachian State 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 Appalachian 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 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 Appalachian State’s first touchdown and Robbie Price (5) threw for two touchdowns and ran for another in the Mountaineers’ 39-34 win at Williams-Brice Stadium in 1975.

Appalachian trailed 28-7 with less than two minutes 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 Appalachian’s Mark LeGree batted down a pass on the conversion attempt and Brian Quick recovered the ensuing onside kick to seal the win.

Furman led 15-14. Furman elected to go for two points on the pointafter. Napier’s pass on the two-point attempt was intercepted by Josh Jeffries at the Appalachian 4. Jeffries darted toward the left sideline before lateraling the ball to Derrick Black at the Appalachian 16.

With Jeffries and Nygel Rogers both running downfield to block, Black avoided two would-be tacklers on his way to score two points and give Appalachian the lead in remarkable fashion, 16-15.

THE ANATOMY OF AN UPSET
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), App State jumped out to a stunning 28-14 advantage and led 28-17 at halftime.
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 Appalachian 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 Mountaineers the ball back with 1:37 left to play.
THE AFTERMATH • Appalachian’ State’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. • 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. • 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. • Appalachian State 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.

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).
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.

• Appalachian State 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 seven programs in NCAA football history boast three-straight national championships, regardless of division. Appalachian 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).

ELEVATION: APPALACHIAN’S RECORD AT HOME, 2003-12: D 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. In addition to boasting of the most picturesque settings for any sports venue in North America, with Appalachian State’s beautiful, modern campus and the natural beauty of the High Country serving as a backdrop, 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 2012 season marked the 50th anniversary of the opening of the venerable stadium, where Appalachian boasts a 219-66-5 all-time record, including wins in 65 of its last 73 home games. Along with the scenic surroundings and plethora of Mountaineer victories, Appalachian State faithful also enjoy one of college football’s premier gameday atmospheres at The Rock. Since the beginning of the 2005 season, more than 1 million fans have passed through the KBS turnstiles with attendance surpassing the stadium’s official seating capacity for 46-straight regular-season games going into the 2013 campaign. Since 2005, the average attendance for a regularseason game at Kidd Brewer Stadium has been 26,780, a mark that comes in at 133 percent of the stadium’s average official seating capacity during that time. Appalachian State has led NCAA Division I FCS in regular-season attendance each of the past six seasons. To meet the demand of Mountaineer fans, Appalachian State has added nearly 7,000 seats to the stadium over the past five years. Kidd Brewer Stadium’s official seating capacity was 16,650 in 2007 but four separate expansion projects in the last five years have upped the number of seats to 24,050. 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 facelifts 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 with the opening of 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. The Appalachian Athletics Center also provides additional 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. When the facility opened in 2009, Kidd Brewer Stadium’s official seating capacity rose to 21,650. In 2011, the stadium expanded for the third time in five years when 1,500 seats were added just feet from the playing field in the north end zone, raising the official seating capacity to 23,150. A fourth expansion in six years came last season, when an additional 900 seats were added in the north end zone, bringing The Rock’s official capacity to its current 24,050. Other stadium enhancements throughout the years include the 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. In 2013, LED ribbon boards were installed on the stadium’s east and west sides. 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.
2013 Appalachian State FOOTBALL
KIDD BREWER STADIUM
Construction began in 1960 on Conrad Stadium (left) and what would become known as Owens Field House (right) in the stadium’s north end zone. Conrad Stadium officially opened on Sept. 15, 1962 when Appalachian State hosted Emory-Henry.
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.
The most extensive renovations in Conrad/Kidd Brewer Stadium history were completed in 2009

Prior to the 2007 season, the press box was removed from the west side of the stadium to make way for the 120,000-square-foot Appalachian Athletics Center. Following the ‘07 campaign, construction began on a 4,400seat upper deck on the stadium’s east side.

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 one of the 17 institutions in the University of North Carolina system and offers a challenging learning experience. The university combines a small-town 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 26 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, who 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.

Athletics excellence Appalachian supports a broad-based athletics program, featuring 10 men’s and 10 women’s intercollegiate teams. Appalachian’s 20 varsity sports are members of NCAA Division I, the nation’s highest level of intercollegiate athletics. On July 1, 2014, Appalachian will join the Sun Belt Conference – one of 10 conferences that are members of the Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) – after 43 ultra-successful years in the Southern Conference. The Mountaineers have won 33 Southern Conference Commissioner’s Cups for overall excellence in men’s athletics, with 2012-13 being its eighth-straight year to win. 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 Appalachian has claimed it more than once. Appalachian has also won 10 Germann Cups, recognizing overall excellence in women’s athletics. • 89 – number of student-athletes earning Academic All Conference recognition • 38% -- percentage of Appalachian student-athletes earning a place on the department’s Honor Roll, with a minimum GPA of 3.25 • 3.01 GPA – student-athletes’ overall cumulative GPA in the spring, comparable to Appalachian’s overall student GPA of 3.07 in 2011-12, the latest year reported • 14 of 20 -- the number of varsity programs at Appalachian having multi- year APR scores that matched or exceeded the national averages for their respective sports (beginning with the 2008-09 academic year and ending 2011-12)
Appalachian STATE 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 studentathletes 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 Appalachian 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 nondiscrimination 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 STATE 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.

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 university-affiliated 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 Knob – Located just a half mile from downtown Boone, this peak has an elevation of 4,420 feet and is known more commonly as Howard’s Knob. It was named for Benjamin Howard, a Revolutionary War loyalist who fled to a cave there to escape American patriots.
