2014 APPALACHIAN STATE FOOTBALL

SUN BELT CONFERENCE INTRODUCTION The Sun Belt Conference mantra “Together We Rise” exemplifies what has quickly become America’s most up-and-coming collegiate athletics conference. Founded in 1976, the Sun Belt has adapted and evolved in its nearly 40 year existence. The league was originally formed as a home for some of the nation’s premier mid-major basketball teams and it wasn’t until a number of changes and the demand for a higher national profile that the league began sponsoring football in 2001. Because of this decision to move the league in to the group of football playing conferences, the Sun Belt Conference has a permanent seat on the NCAA’s 18-member Board of Directors. As a result, the conference has a crucial voice on some of the most pressing issues in college athletics. With the 2014-15 year marking the debut of the College Football Playoff (CFP) the Sun Belt continues to find itself among the 10 premier college football conferences and the new system is guaranteed universal access based on performance – there are no automatic qualifiers for the playoff system. Additionally, the CFP will mean that a spot among the premier bowl games of college football will be guaranteed to the highest-ranked champion from the other “Group of Five” conferences: the Sun Belt Conference, American Athletic Conference, Mountain West Conference, Mid-American Conference and Conference USA. With the College Football Playoff included with the league’s other bowl arrangements, the Sun Belt Conference is tied to seven total bowl games. The R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, the GoDaddy Bowl, the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl, the Cure Bowl (debuting in 2015) all guarantee a home for a bowl eligible Sun Belt Conference team each year. And beginning with the 2016 season, the Sun Belt is also part of a rotation of conferences that will send a team to the Bahamas Bowl and the Miami Beach Bowl. The influx of bowl game opportunities comes at a time when the Sun Belt Conference is breaking win records year after year and the league is continually exceeding expectations. The Sun Belt’s 21 non-conference football wins in the 2013 season was a new record for the league - eclipsing the mark of 19 set the year prior. Additionally of note for the league’s non-conference win total was that the Sun Belt fared well against its peer opponents in the non-AQ BCS ranks. The Sun Belt finished a combined 8-1 against members of Conference-USA (4-1), the Mid-American Conference (3-0) and the Mountain West Conference (1-0). The Sun Belt also had the best overall non-conference win percentage when comparing the four non-AQ conferences. The 2013 football season also saw two teams take home bowl championship trophies, as UL Lafayette won its third consecutive R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl and Arkansas State won its second consecutive GoDaddy Bowl. Of course, football wasn’t the only sport that has seen recent success and all of the league’s sports have contributed to the “Rise” of the Sun Belt Conference. In men’s basketball, league newcomer Georgia State put together one of the best conference performances in league history in winning the 2013-14 Sun Belt regular season championship. UL Lafayette captured the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament in what was one of the most thrilling finishes to the Sun Belt championship game in recent memory. An influx of young coaches mixed with proven veterans makes both Sun Belt men’s and women’s basketball an exciting brand with vast potential. The Sun Belt Conference Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championships were played in the hometown of the Sun Belt at Lakefront Arena this past March in what was the first of a three year deal that will have Sun Belt hoops in the “Big Easy” each March.

2014 APPALACHIAN STATE FOOTBALL INTRODUCTION

SUN BELT CONFERENCE

Baseball and softball continue to be among the league’s standard-bearers for success as each continues to send teams on deep postseason runs and teams are easy to find in the national polls. In baseball, UL Lafayette held a unanimous No. 1 national ranking during the 2014 season and hosted an NCAA Tournament Regional and Super Regional. Not to be outdone, the UL Lafayette softball team also hosted the NCAA Tournament rounds and qualified for the 2014 edition of the Women’s College World Series. In recent years as many as four Sun Belt teams have advanced to the baseball postseason in a single year, while as many as three Sun Belt softball teams have accomplished that feat. While the accomplishments of the Sun Belt’s student-athletes and coaches deserve great praise, so to do the league’s administrators who have helped set the tone for the future of the conference. “We have never been as strong as we are now academically and financially and I believe we are getting stronger all the time athletically,” former Sun Belt Conference President and Troy University Chancellor Dr. Jack Hawkins, Jr. said recently. “I truly believe that the best is yet to come.” The Sun Belt Conference’s membership consists of 11 football members for 2014 – Appalachian State, Arkansas State, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, Idaho, UL Lafayette, UL Monroe, New Mexico State, South Alabama, Texas State and Troy. UALR and UT Arlington compete in all-sports as non-football members while Idaho and New Mexico State are football only members. Prominent Sun Belt alumni include Lyndon B. Johnson, former President of the United States (Texas State), former All-Star baseball player Luis Gonzalez (South Alabama), former member of the United States Senate and House of Representatives John Breaux (UL Lafayette), country music superstar Tim McGraw (UL Monroe), CEO of Duck Commander and Buck Commander Willie Robertson (UL Monroe) and DeMarcus Ware, an All-Pro NFL linebacker (Troy).

SUN BELT COMMISSIONER KARL BENSON Karl Benson was named the fifth commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference on Thursday, February 16, 2012 and officially began his tenure on March 15, 2012. Under Benson’s leadership, the Sun Belt has added five new full-time members — Appalachian State, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, Texas-Arlington and Texas State — and two football-only partners — Idaho and New Mexico State — to give the league a strong membership of 11 full-time members and 11 football-playing institutions. A respected leader in the college athletics community, Benson has served as the President of the NCAA Football Board of Directors and on the NCAA Management Council and the NCAA Men’s Basketball Committee from 2002-06. Benson came to the Sun Belt after serving as the commissioner of the Western Athletic Conference since 1994. During his time at the WAC, Benson developed numerous multi-year agreements with postseason football games, including the Holiday Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Copper Bowl, Las Vegas Bowl, Silicon Valley Football Classic, GMAC Bowl, New Mexico Bowl, the Humanitarian Bowl, Sheraton Hawai’i Bowl, Poinsettia Bowl and Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl. Under Benson’s leadership, the WAC achieved noted success by sending multiple teams to Bowl Championship Series (BCS) games as well as having sent a total of 38 teams to bowl games since 2001. In men’s basketball, the WAC has sent at least two teams to the NCAA Tournament in 24 of the past 28 seasons. Prior to his time at the WAC, Benson served as the commissioner of the Mid-American Conference for four years. There, he implemented several innovative projects and was instrumental in the formation of the Las Vegas Bowl. Prior to taking the reins of the MAC, Benson served on the NCAA staff for more than four years where he was the director of NCAA championships when selected as MAC commissioner. Benson joined the NCAA staff in January 1986, as a compliance representative and was appointed assistant director of championships in June 1987. He was promoted to director of championships in 1988. In that position, Benson actively supervised eight assistant directors in their administration of 68 NCAA championships. A native of the state of Washington, Benson graduated from high school in Pullman in 1970, attended Spokane Falls Community College and then received a bachelor of science degree in physical education from Boise State University in 1975. He has also completed course work toward his master’s degree in athletics administration at the University of Utah. Benson played baseball at both Spokane Falls Community College and Boise State University before serving as the baseball coach at Fort Steilacoom Community College in Tacoma, Wash., for eight years and as the director of athletics at Fort Steilacoom from 1979-84. From 1984-86, he was an assistant baseball coach and an administrative assistant in the athletics department at Utah. He received the Distinguished Alumni Award from Boise State in April of 2006. Benson was born on December 1, 1951 and has one daughter, Jessie, who graduated from the University of Southern California in 2014 after majoring in broadcast journalism in the Annenberg School of Communication.

CHARLIE

COBB

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS 10th YEAR AT APP STATE

In his 10th 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 2013 when Appalachian accepted an invitation to join the NCAA Division I FBS Sun Belt Conference. For many of the University’s most ardent supporters, when Appalachian State officially joined the Sun Belt on July 1, 2014, it 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 51-of-52 regular-season home games since Cobb’s arrival in 2005. • A 298-percent increase in football season-ticket sales. • Nine-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 each of the last four semesters. • 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, have climbed steadily over the past decade and surpassed $3 million each of the last two years. Besides the move to the Sun Belt Conference and FBS, 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. App State has undergone a wave of facility enhancements totaling $50 million over the past decade, headlined by the 120,000-square-foot Appalachian Athletics Center, which was completed in 2009. 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 Kidd Brewer Stadium, most notably the addition of nearly 7,000 seats, the bulk of which are located in an upper deck that was erected on the stadium’s east side in 2008. Other renovations at The Rock include a widescreen videoboard that doubles the size of the old video display on the scoreboard in the south end zone, substantial upgrades to the public-address system and concourses around the stadium, a new ticket plaza, which serves as a grand entrance to the stadium at the corner of Stadium Drive and Jack Branch Drive, and ornamental fencing that replaced the chain-link barriers that used to surround the stadium. In addition to the renovations at Kidd Brewer Stadium, the unprecedented surge of facility enhancements has also produced new homes for Mountaineer baseball (Jim and Bettie Smith Stadium), softball (Sywassink/Lloyd Family Stadium), soccer (at the Ted Mackorell Soccer Complex) and field hockey, 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, golf, 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

INAUGURAL SEASON

the 46-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. 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 postgraduate 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 State’s women’s soccer program. The Cobbs have a 16-year-old son, Harrison, and a 13-year-old daughter, Branan.

2014 APPALACHIAN STATE FOOTBALL

SEASON PREVIEW Appalachian State University football enters a new era in 2014. After 32 seasons in NCAA Division I-AA/FCS, Appalachian State is set to compete at the highest level of college football as a member of the NCAA Division I FBS Sun Belt Conference.

The move to the FBS ranks was decades in the making for Appalachian State. After competing at the NAIA level for the 40-plus years of its athletics history, the University entered NCAA Division I in 1970 and joined the Southern Conference a year later. In 1978, the NCAA split Division I into two football subdivisions — Division I-A and Division I-AA, the precursors for what are now known as Division I FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision) and Division I FCS (Football Championship Subdivision). The Southern Conference positioned itself in Division I-AA in 1982, where Appalachian State enjoyed unprecedented gridiron success. In addition to winning 12 Southern Conference championships in its final 28 seasons in the league, Appalachian became the first Division I-AA/FCS program to ever claim three-straight national titles, a feat it achieved from 2005-07. The three-straight national championships and a historic 34-32 victory over No. 5 (AP) Michigan to open the 2007 campaign (the first-ever win for an FCS program over a nationally ranked FBS opponent) made Appalachian State a household name nationwide. That success compelled Appalachian to investigate a move back to the highest level of college football and, on March 27, 2013, the University accepted an invitation to join the Sun Belt Conference, one of 10 Division I FBS conference, effective in 2014. After 16 months of anticipation, the wait is finally over and the dawn of the Sun Belt era for Mountaineer athletics is upon us. Challenges await Appalachian State in its first Sun Belt campaign but head coach Scott Satterfield’s squad is primed to meet the task head on. Coming off a disappointing 4-8 season in 2013 (the program’s first losing record in 20 years), the Mountaineers play a full Sun Belt schedule in 2014 and are eligible for the conference championship. The opportunity to win a title will serve as motivation that was missing for the Mountaineers a year ago, when the Southern Conference declared the Apps ineligible for its crown after the school announced its intention to make the jump to FBS and the Sun Belt. However, App State finished the 2013 campaign on a high note, winning three of its final five games, including a 38-14 romp over longtime rival Georgia Southern, which joins Appalachian in making the move from the SoCon to the Sun Belt in 2014. In fact, the Mountaineers will make their Sun Belt debut on Sept. 25 with a nationally televised affair at Georgia Southern, in which the Apps will look to extend their winning streak over the Eagles to four games. It doesn’t get any easier for Appalachian State as it continues its inaugural trek through the Sun Belt. The Mountaineers also play road games at three of the conference’s most successful programs — Troy (Oct. 18), which has won five of the Sun Belt’s first 13 football titles, and Arkansas State (Nov. 15) and Louisiana-Lafayette (Nov. 22), which have combined to win five bowl games in the past three years. Four tough home games are also on tap in conference play, highlighted by contests versus upstart South Alabama (Oct. 4) and perennial contender Louisiana-Monroe (Nov. 8). Despite the excitement of its first Sun Belt slate, the buzz about Appalachian State’s schedule at a national level surrounds the Aug. 30 season opener at Michigan. Seven years removed from pulling off perhaps the biggest upset in college football history, the Mountaineers return to Michigan Stadium with approximately 20 more scholarship players than they boasted in their first trip to the Big House but without the relative anonymity that they enjoyed prior to stunning a Woverine squad that would go on to beat Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow and the Florida Gators in the Capital One Bowl at the end of the 2007 season. Appalachian State will navigate the most challenging slate in school history with 20 starters back from last year’s squad that played so well down the stretch. The Mountaineers are also buoyed by a 28-player recruiting class that was the Sun Belt’s best, according to 247Sports. Additionally, in his second year at the helm at his alma mater, Satterfield was able to keep his entire coaching staff intact, which should allow Appalachian to continue to jell as it did in the latter stages of last season and establish itself as a program to be reckoned with in its first season at the FBS level.

The exciting thing is that in addition to those experienced starters, we also have some young and inexperienced guys that can really play as well. We’ll start at left tackle with Kendall Lamm who’s kind of been the mainstay up front, a player that has really developed over time. He’s up to about 305 pounds and his attitude has gotten so much better over his time here that he’s going to be one of our leaders up front and really anchor down that important left tackle spot. Right now, we’ve got Beau Nunn, a very, very talented redshirt freshman, penciled in at left guard. He’s up to about 285-290 pounds right now and can play tackle or guard, so he gives us a lot of versatility. We really like what he can do — he may be our top offensive lineman even though he is a only freshman. We are really excited about what Beau can bring to the table — he’ll be a swing player for us that can play a lot of positions up front but he’ll start somewhere. Shaq Counts is a guy who has started a bunch of football games for us but just needs to be more consistent. He certainly provides us either with a player that can start for us or a guy that can come in off the bench early in the game and play a lot of snaps at the guard positions. Graham Fisher is another guy that has started a lot of football games for us at center. He’s the senior leader for the whole offensive line.

SEASON PREVIEW

What Satterfield says: “On the defensive line the guy who stands out, even though you don’t see him listed as a returning starter, is Ronald Blair at defensive end. Ronald ended up redshirting last year but could be an impact player for us in the Sun Belt. He is up to about 275-280 pounds and gives us the strong rush that we need in our 3-4 package. We really missed him last year but it’s great to have him back for two more years. On the other side defensive end-wise, you have Deuce Robinson and Olawale Dada. Those guys are two different players that will both help us this year. Dada is extremely quick. He’s not very big but he causes problems for the offensive tackle with his quickness and speed. Deuce has played a lot of football. He’s one of our seniors that gives us the experience that we like to have. He’s been battling some injuries for the last few years but is a mainstay up front. Another guy in the mix at end is Thomas Bronson. Thomas has played both inside and outside for us up front and has played a lot of football the last two years. It’s great to have his experience in the defensive end rotation. At nose tackle, we have three guys that we feel are very capable of making plays for us. — Tyson Fernandez, Darian Small and Stephen Burns. All three of them are little different in what they do but we’re hoping to get a good rotation with those guys and that they will make some plays. Stephen Burns is the quickest of the three and can really cause some havoc on third down. Tyson and Small are two guys who are really big, both well over 300 pounds. They’ll provide the two-gap run stopper that we need for the 3-4 defense.” OUTSIDE LINEBACKERS Returning Starters (1): So. Rashaad Townes (6-2, 205) What Satterfield says: “We feel like we’ve got good speed at outside linebacker, which is certainly an upgrade from last year. On one side, you have Kennan Gilchrist and Osvaldo Sombo. Kennan is so much improved from year one to year two. He’s at about 210-215 pounds now after playing at about 190 pounds as a true freshman last year. He’s a speed guy that can hopefully provide some pass rush for us. Sombo is a guy that we ended up redshirting last year but has a ton of talent. He can rush the passer but he can also drop back in coverage. We feel good about those two guys. On the other side, Rashaad Townes is coming off a shoulder surgery but played a lot last year as a true freshman. Lee Wright is a guy we redshirted last who has a lot of speed and playmaking ability. It wouldn’t surprise me if you see Lee scoring some touchdowns this year on the defensive side of the ball. He’s shown it in high school and he’s shown it whenever he’s been here in our scrimmages. He’s just a playmaker. We feel like we have a lot of depth at outside linebackers. A lot of young players but a lot of depth.”

INSIDE LINEBACKERS Returning Starters (1): So. John Law (6-0, 235) What Satterfield says: “Going into fall camp, the inside linebackers are going to be Brandon McGowan and John Law. Those are two guys that have played a lot of football for us. McGowan is the old head of the group, a senior. Despite how much he played last year, we have to remember that Law is still only a third-year sophomore and is still coming into his own, trying to learn the ins and outs of playing inside linebacker in our system. We have to become more consistent but I think both of those guys are working hard to get there. Backing those guys up will be a couple of guys with some experience in D.J. Ward and Toronto Thomas. We are going to get good rotation with those inside ‘backers and I don’t really see just one guy or two guys playing, I see several guys playing in that inside position to keep them all fresh. We have some good depth at the inside linebacker position.” SAFETIES Returning Starters (1) SS Jr. Kevin Walton (6-0, 185)

CORNERBACKS Returning Starters (5) So. Dante Blackmon (5-11, 185) Sr. Joel Ross (5-10, 185) What Satterfield says: “The one with the most experience at cornerback is Joel Ross. He has played a lot of football for us and can do a lot of things. He could even play safety if we needed him to but we’re planning on him being a mainstay at corner again as a senior in 2014. On the other side, we have Dante Blackmon and Aaron Krah. They’ll be battling for that other starting spot at corner but I think they will both have to play for us and when they get their opportunities, they’ll have to make the best of it. They are both solid players, so I’m excited to see what those guys can do. In a backup role, Brandon Pinckney is a guy that we redshirted last year that will be a redshirt freshman this year. I feel like he gets better and better the longer that he is here and think that he will really push to contribute at cornerback this season.”

SEASON OUTLOOK

DEFENSIVE LINE Returning Starters (2): DE Sr. Deuce Robinson (6-5, 260) DE Jr. Thomas Bronson (6-3, 245)

What Satterfield says: “At safety, we have two talented, experienced players in Doug Middleton and Kevin Walton. Those two guys have played a bunch of football for us over the last couple of years and we’re counting on them to do the same this year because after them, it drops off significantly, experience-wise. We’re going to wind up backing Doug and Kevin up with some freshmen. A.J. Howard is a true freshman that graduated early and showed great promise in the spring. I think he’s going to be an outstanding football player for us here — he has great character and we’re really excited about what he can do for us on the field. Treyon Garnett redshirted last year. We’re looking for him to continue to develop and become consistent so we can get him on the field at the safety position. Aside from that, we’re going to have to look at some true freshmen with zero experience to give us some depth at safety. Hopefully, someone will establish himself as a person that we can plug in to provide us depth at that position.”

With 19 career starts coming into his senior campaign, defensive back Joel Ross is expected to be a leader for Appalachian State’s relatively young secondary on and off the field.

We think we’ve got a couple of guys who can give us a spark in the return game.”

What Satterfield says: “Zach Matics enters the season as our place kicker and will probably handle our kickoff duties as well. We will see how Zach does. I think he did a great job this spring but we’ll have to see how he does in a game because he has not been in that situation before. However, I think he has the poise to be a solid kicker for us this season. At punter, of course, Bentlee Critcher is continuing to work at his craft and he’s done a great job this spring and summer. He been up here all summer and we’re expecting big things out of him at the punting position. He certainly benefits our team by backing the other team up with his big leg. He can also play — he’s a very athletic punter, so we may try to see if we can do some things with him as far as moving him out of the traditional punt style and having him do some rugby-style punting. Bentlee will also compete with Zach to place kick and/or kick off.

HEAD COACH SCOTT SATTERFIELD

SCOTT

SATTERFIELD HEAD COACH SECOND SEASON APPALACHIAN STATE, 1996

Scott Satterfield, who has spent 18 of the last 23 years at Appalachian State University as a student-athlete and coach, is in his second year at the helm of Appalachian State’s football program. Satterfield has enjoyed success at every stop of his 21-year playing and coaching career, most notably in his 18 seasons at Appalachian State. In his 18 seasons as a player (1991-95), assistant coach (1998-2008, 2012) and now head coach, 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. Despite posting an un-Appalachian Statelike 4-8 record in 2013, the program showed signs of promise in Satterfield’s first season at the helm. The short-handed Mountaineers struggled to a 1-6 start but rebounded to win three of their final five games, including a 38-14 rout over future Sun Belt Conference rival Georgia Southern. Appalachian’s only losses during the five-game stretch run were a hard-fought 35-28 defeat at the hands of SoCon co-champion Chattanooga and a 45-6 loss at Georgia, a game that the Mountaineers led early and trailed just 17-6 late in the third quarter. Other bright spots in Satterfield’s first season as a head coach included quarterback Kameron Bryant, who set school records for single-season completion percentage (.712) and passing yards by a sophomore (2,713) despite not making his

taineers’ 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. Most notably, he coached both Richie Williams (200305) and Armanti Edwards (2006-08) 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 1,000-yard 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 20th head football coach in Appalachian State history and the sixth alumnus to serve in the role, 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 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 24 years under my mentor, Jerry Moore. It’s great to be a Mountaineer!”

In his second season as the head coach at his alma mater, Scott Satterfield leads Appalachian State into the NCAA Division I FBS ranks.

debut as a starter until the fifth game of the season and running back Marcus Cox, who set Appalachian State freshman records with 1,250 rushing yards and 21 total touchdowns as a true freshman. Utilizing a 3-4 scheme installed by new defensive coordinator Nate Woody, Appalachian’s defense was also an improved unit in Satterfield’s first season at the helm, as the Mountaineers surrendered fewer points, rushing yards and total yards than they did in 2012. After a three-year stint away from his alma mater, Satterfield returned to Appalachian State in January 2012 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 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, passing efficiency, passing yardage and scoring and, for the first time in school history, produced a 3,000-yard passer, 1,000-yard rusher and 1,000-yard receiver 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) and two as the offensive coordinator at Florida International (2010-11). 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 first three seasons in the NCAA Division I FBS ranks, Satterfield spent the first 11 seasons of his coaching career at Appalachian State, mentoring the Moun-

WHAT THEY’’RE SAYING ABOUT SCOTT SATTERFIELD ...

“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 coord.

WOODY

Nate Woody is in his second season as Appalachian State’s defensive coordinator and his first year coaching the Mountaineers’ outside linebackers. Woody came to Appalachian State in 2013 as defensive coordinator and inside linebackers coach. In his first season at App State, the Mountaineers fielded a much-improved defensive unit, surrendering fewer points, rushing yards and total yards than they did in 2012. Under Woody’s tutelage in 2013, half of the Mountaineers’ inside-linebacking crew received postseason accolades, with Karl Anderson earning all-Southern Conference recognition and John Law being named an NCAA Division I FCS freshman all-American. Woody came to Appalachian State after 13 successful seasons as the defensive coordinator at former Southern Conference rival Wofford. 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 Woody’s final season at Wofford (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.

LEDFORD

Dwayne Ledford is in his third year as Appalachian State’s offensive line coach and his second as the Mountaineers’ co-offensive coordinator for the running game. Despite not having any senior starters and being forced to insert 11 different underclassmen in the lineup during his two seasons at Appalachian State, the Mountaineers have excelled in the trenches since Ledford’s arrival in 2012. Most notably, while protecting quarterbacks that have averaged over 37 dropbacks per game, the Mountaineers have surrendered less than two sacks per contest during Ledford’s two-year tenure. The Mountaineers have also excelled in the running game under Ledford’s watch. In 2012 (Ledford’s first season at Appalachian), the Mountaineers rushed for 170.3 yards per game, surging from 55th to 39th in the national rankings in the span of just one year. The success continued in 2013 (Ledford’s first season overseeing the running game), as Marcus Cox put together the most prolific season by a freshman running back in school history, leading the Southern Conference and setting an Appalachian State freshman record with 1,250 rushing yards. 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 ECU football’s 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. Ledford and his wife, Meredith, have a son, Hudson.

PONCE

CO-OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR/QUARTERBACKS SECOND SEASON AT APP STATE/EIGHTH OVERALL

Frank Ponce is in his second season as Appalachian State’s co-offensive coordinator for the passing game and quarterbacks coach. In his first season at Appalachian State, Ponce directed the Southern Conference’s No. 2-ranked passing game (271.8 ypg). He also oversaw the development of quarterback Kameron Bryant, who came into the season with just 13 snaps under his belt but set school records for single-season completion percentage (.712) and passing yards by a sophomore (2,713) despite not making his debut as a starter until the fifth game of the season. Ponce came to Appalachian State after spending six seasons (2007-12) as the wide receivers coach at Florida International, where he worked under App State head coach Scott Satterfield for the two seasons that Satterfield served as FIU’s offensive coordinator (2010-11). Ponce coached six of the top 10 receivers in FIU history during his six seasons with the Golden Panthers. His most notable pupil at FIU was three-time all-American T.Y. Hilton, who went on to be a third-round NFL Draft pick and has caught 132 passes for 1,944 yards and 12 touchdowns in his first two seasons with the Indianapolis Colts. Ponce was also renowned for his recruiting ability during his time at FIU and was honored by ESPN.com as the Sun Belt Conference’s top recruiter in 2010. During his six seasons at FIU, the Golden Panthers’ recruiting classes ranked among the top three in the Sun Belt five times, according to Rivals. com. Prior to FIU, Ponce was one of the top high-school coaches in football-rich south Florida, serving as the head coach and offensive coordinator at tradition-laden Miami Senior H.S. from 2004-06 and head coach at Coral Reef H.S. from 2002-03. He began his coaching career with stints as an assistant at La Progresiva Presbyterian School (offensive coordinator - 1992), Coral Gables H.S. (quarterbacks/wide receivers - 1993-96), Miami Northwestern H.S. (quarterbacks - 1998), Miami Central H.S. (offensive coordinator/quarterbacks - 1999-2000) and Miami Killian H.S. (offensive coordinator - 2001). As a high-school coach, he mentored Willis McGahee (Miami Central), who went on to be an all-America running back at the University of Miami and two-time NFL Pro Bowler. A native of Miami, Ponce had a decorated playing career as a quarterback at Miami Senior, where he was team MVP, honorable-mention all-county and a finalist for the 1988 Miami Herald Hispanic Athlete of the Year award. He went on to be starting quarterback at Arizona Western College in 1989 and ‘90, where he earned an associate’s degree in arts in 1990. He received a bachelor’s degree in physical education from Florida International in 1997. www. APPSTATESPORTS.com • www.PLAYATTHEROCK.com

CORNERBACKS THIRD SEASON AT APP STATE/SEVENTH OVERALL

Bryan Brown is in his third season as Appalachian State’s cornerbacks coach. In Brown’s two seasons at Appalachian State, his cornerbacks have combined to intercept nine passes. Each year, one of Brown’s pupils ranked among the Southern Conference’s top 10 in interceptions, including a league-leading four by Demetrius McCray in 2013. McCray went on to be selected in the seventh round of the 2013 National Football League Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars. Brown came to Appalachian State from Ole Miss, where he was a fouryear letterwinner on the gridiron as well as a member of the Rebels’ basketball team before serving for two years on his alma mater’s football staff (2010-11). In 2011, he served as a graduate assistant coach at Ole Miss, working specifically with the Rebels’ “spur” (nickel back) position. In that capacity, he was responsible for all practice planning and game planning for the spur position. Despite a 2-10 record in ‘11, Ole Miss ranked among the top 25 nationally in pass defense (194.4 ypg). In 2010, he was an administrative assistant for defensive coordinator Tyrone Nix, assisting with all aspects of practice and game planning for the squad’s cornerbacks. Brown began his professional career in collegiate athletics at Rutgers in 2008, where he served in a player development role, responsible for not only helping with the Scarlet Knights’ special teams but also assisting in academic support services for the program. Following the stint at Rutgers, he spent one season at Delta State (2009) as a graduate assistant coaching

The Foster Family: Tiffany, Journei and Chris

Chris Foster is in his third season as Appalachian State’s running backs coach. In his first two seasons at App State, Foster has coached a pair of his pupils to two of the best campaigns by running backs in school history. Last season, true freshman Marcus Cox set Appalachian State freshman records with 1,250 rushing yards and 21 total touchdowns, en route to being named the Southern Freshman of the Year, placing second in voting for the Jerry Rice Award (NCAA Division I FCS Freshman of the Year) and being the only FCS representative on 247Sports’ true freshman all-America team. Cox also set a new SoCon record by being named the league’s Freshman of the Week six times in just 10 starts. In Foster’s first season with the Mountaineers (2012), current Detroit Lion Steven Miller rushed for 1,368 yards, good for 16th nationally in NCAA Division I FCS. 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).

Mark Ivey, a four-year football letterwinner at Appalachian State from 1992-95, is in his third season as an assistant coach at his alma mater. After coaching the Mountaineers’ outside linebackers during his first two seasons, Ivey is in his first year as Appalachian’s defensive line coach. He also coordinates the Mountaineers’ special teams. Under Ivey’s tutelage, three of Appalachian State’s outside linebackers ranked among the team’s top eight in tackles last season. Despite not starting a game as a true freshman, Kennan Gilchrist ranked fourth on the team and among the Southern Conference’s top 40 with 59 stops, en route to earning freshman all-conference honors. As the Mountaineers’ special-teams coordinator, Ivey oversaw a unit that easily led the SoCon with a gaudy 40.6-yard net punting average in 2013. Much of that success was due to Bentlee Critcher, who became only the second true freshman in school history to earn NCAA Division I FCS all-America recognition after ranking second among all FCS punters with a 45.9-yard punting average. In 2012, App State ranked second in NCAA Division I FCS with a 40.8-yard net punting average on the strength of a 45.9 yards per punt by all-American and current Detroit Lion Sam Martin. 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. www.

Player development has been a staple of Jones’ tenure at Appalachian State. During his 19 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: nine-year veteran Jason Hunter (free agent), fourth-year pro D.J. Smith (Carolina Panthers) and second-year players 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. One of 13 children in his family (six brothers and six sisters), Jones has a daughter, Brooke.

COACHES AND STAFF

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.

SLOAN

SECONDARY/RECRUITING COORDINATOR FIFTH SEASON AT APP STATE/19th OVERALL

A 19-year college coaching veteran, Scot Sloan is in his fifth season as Appalachian State’s secondary coach. Sloan has also served as Appalachian’s recruiting coordinator for three years. In his four 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 while McCray was selected in the seventh round of the 2013 NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars. In Sloan’s first season with the Mountaineers (2010), his defensive backfield played a big part in App State ranking among the nation’s top 30 teams in pass defense, pass-efficiency defense and interceptions. Appalachian went on to lead the Southern Conference in interceptions each of the next two seasons (2011-12). As the program’s recruiting coordinator, Sloan has helped nail down three highly regarded signing classes, the first (2012) coming despite him not taking over as recruiting coordinator until just six weeks prior to National Signing Day. The Mountaineers’ 2014 recruiting class — its first as an NCAA Division I FBS program — was ranked No. 1 in the Sun Belt Conference by 247Sports while Sloan was tabbed as the Sun Belt’s top recruiter by Scout. com. Immediately preceding his arrival at Appalachian State 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. Prior to his four-year stint in the high-school ranks, Sloan was a successful college assistant at Georgia Southern (defensive backs, 2002-05), Georgia Military (defensive coordinator/recruiting coordinator/defensive backs, 1996-2001) and Clemson (graduate assistant, 1992-95). While at Georgia Southern, he helped lead the Eagles to two Southern Conference championships and three NCAA Division I-AA playoff berths. He mentored three all-Americans, six all-conference selections and one NFL Draft pick (David Young — 2003 sixth round, Jacksonville Jaguars) at GSU. At Georgia Military, he coordinated a defense that set a National Junior College Athletic Association record for total defense while winning the NJCAA national championship in 2001. Sloan’s four-year stint as a graduate assistant at Clemson included two bowl appearances and came on the heels of a successful playing career for the Tigers. He played defensive back at Clemson from 1988-91, was a member of three bowl teams and helped lead the squad to the 1991 Atlantic Coast Conference championship. Sloan is married to the former Stephanie Crisco. They have two sons — Seth and Samuel.

STEPP

WIDE RECEIVERS THIRD SEASON AT APP STATE/SIXTH OVERALL

Justin Stepp is in his third season as Appalachian State’s wide receivers coach. Stepp’s first two seasons coaching Appalachian State’s wideouts have been ultra-successful. In 2012, three Mountaineers (Sean Price, Andrew Peacock and Tony Washington) earned all-Southern Conference recognition while Price received all-America honors after setting NCAA Division I FCS freshman records with 81 receptions and 1,196 receiving yards. In 2013, Peacock and Washington once again earned all-conference accolades after Peacock led the SoCon in receptions (78) and Washington led the league in receiving yards (939). Peacock finished his career as Appalachian State’s all-time leader with 208 receptions, 157 of which came in two years with Stepp as his position coach. Both of Stepp’s prized pupils signed National Football League free-agent contracts following the conclusion of their collegiate careers — Peacock with the Detroit Lions and Washington with the Indianapolis Colts. Prior to his arrival at Appalachian State, Stepp spent three seasons at Clemson (2009-11). As an offensive graduate assistant coach in 2011, Stepp had a hand in all aspects of Clemson’s offense, including working directly with the Tigers’ running backs, quarterbacks, wide receivers and tight ends, game-planning and assisting the offensive coordinator with in-game play-calling adjustments. With Stepp on the sideline, Clemson ranked second in the ACC and in the top 30 nationally in scoring (33.6 ppg) and total offense (440.8 ypg) and boasted a pair of all-Americans on the offensive side of the ball in 2011. Prior to serving as a graduate-assistant coach, he spent two seasons (2009-10) as an offensive video graduate assistant, with a large role in opponent breakdown and preparation of practice scripts. He started his college coaching career as the wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator at NCAA Division II North Greenville in 2008, where he coached a pair of 40-catch receivers in his only season with the Crusaders. He also served as wide receivers and strength coach at Fort Mill (S.C.) H.S. in 2007. The Pelion, S.C. native was a standout wide receiver and punt returner at Southern Conference rival Furman from 2003-06. He earned all-SoCon recognition as a junior and senior and finished his playing career ranked fourth all-time in receptions at FU. He graduated from Furman in 2007 with a bachelor’s degree in health and exercise science.

Coaches continue to rave about the former walk-on who has become a key part of the Mountaineers’ arsenal of wide receivers ... singled out by coaches as having the best spring of any Appalachian State wideout, McElfresh has solidified his position as the starter at the ‘M’ receiver position going into the fall ... a terrrific route-runner with great speed and hands ... also an outstanding blocker both in the run game and downfield for fellow pass-catchers. 2013: Saw action in 12 games with nine starts ... ranked sixth on the team with 20 receptions and fifth with 269 receiving yards ... 13.4 yards-per-catch average was good for second on the squad ... two touchdown catches were good for a tie for third on the team ... receptions came in spurts, as he had five games with three or more receptions and four contests with none ... opened the season with three receptions for 41 yards at Montana ... also had three catches for 43 yards in the home opener against North Carolina A&T ... after a four-yard reception at Elon, went three games without a catch ... snapped the skid by exploding for a career-high 65 yards on three receptions, including his first-career touchdown from 39 yards out, at Furman ... waited just one week to score the second touchdown of his career on a nine-yard catch in a 38-14 romp over No. 24-ranked Georgia Southern ... caught two passes for 16 yards in win over No. 24 Wofford and had one catch for six yards in season finale against Western Carolina. 2012: Appeared in 11 games and was a part of Appalachian State’s regular rotation at wide receiver … ranked seventh on the team in receptions (6) and receiving yards (86) … five of his six receptions came in the first three games of the season … earned the starting assignment in his collegiate debut at East Carolina and caught two passes for 21 yards … also caught two passes for 11 yards in home-opening win over Montana … hauled in a 10-yard pass in Week 3 versus The Citadel … role diminished somewhat over the latter portion of the season, as he went seven games without a catch before a key 44-yard reception that moved Appalachian to the one yard line and set up a fourth-quarter touchdown in the Mountaineers’ eventual 38-37 overtime loss to Illinois State in the second round of the NCAA Division I Football Championship. 2011: Redshirted.

1 2 3 4 F 0 3 3 0 — 6 0 16 0 14 — 30

ATTENDANCE: 26,293 MISSOULA, Mont. – Plagued by two turnovers and a blocked punt, No. 12-ranked Appalachian State University football dropped its 2013 season opener to No. 20 Montana, 30-6, at jam-packed Washington-Grizzly Stadium. In addition to the three miscues, Appalachian State was never able to get into a rhythm offensively, was haunted by Montana’s 9-of-15 third-down conversion rate and was without the services of senior quarterback Jamal LondryJackson for more than a quarter in the loss. With Londry-Jackson out of the game due to a minor upper-body injury, backup quarterback Kameron Bryant nearly led the Mountaineers back from a 16-0 deficit. In the first significant action of his career, Bryant engineered field-goal drives to end the first half and open the second and had the Apps inside the red zone on his third series threatening to pull within one score. However, Bryant fumbled at the end of a 12-yard run and Montana recovered on its own three yard line to thwart the scoring opportunity. UM punted after the turnover but on the very next play, Bryant threw the first interception of his career to give the Griz the ball back on the Appalachian 42. Six plays later, Montana punched it in to stretch the lead to 23-6 and effectively end the Mountaineers’ hopes for a comeback victory. Appalachian was outgained, 497-328, which included Montana’s 246-123 advantage on the ground. The Grizzlies had two 100-yard rushers (Travon Van – 118 and Jordan Canada – 112) and benefitted from the return of quarterback Jordan Johnson (19-of-23, 251 yards, two TD) to the lineup. Johnson, who completed his first 12 passes of the evening, sat out the entire 2012 season due to personal reasons. Bryant completed 8-of-12 passes for 116 yards to lead the Mountaineers offensively. Londry-Jackson managed just 89 yards – his second-lowest total in 20 career starts – in less than three quarters of action. Tony Washington led all receivers with 81 yards on six catches and Ricky Fergerson had a team-high 53 yards on the ground. For the first time in 102 games, Appalachian State did not score a touchdown and failed to score at least 10 points – neither had happened since a 24-0 loss at LSU in 2005. The loss also dropped the Mountaineers to 0-10 alltime in games played west of the Mississippi River. Defensively, freshman linebacker John Law and sophomore safety Kevin Walton shared game-high honors with 12 tackles apiece. NOTES: The crowd of 26,293 was the largest ever for a football game played in the state of Montana … Appalachian State fell to 3-9 in its last 12 season openers … Appalachian dropped to 1-3 all-time against Montana, including an 0-3 mark at Washington-Grizzly Stadium … Londry-Jackson’s previous low passing total when taking the majority of Appalachian’s snaps was 164 versus The Citadel on Sept. 15 of last season … Drew Stewart’s 48yard field goal as the first half expired was the longest of his career (previous long: 44 vs. Western Carolina, 2011) … Montana blocked freshman Bentlee Critcher’s third-career punt in the second quarter, marking the first time Appalachian has had a punt blocked since last season’s loss to The Citadel … UM recovered the blocked punt at Appalachian’s 13 yard line and kicked a field goal to stretch its lead to 16-0.

NORTH CAROLINA A&T APPALACHIAN STATE

24 21

1 2 3 4 F 14 7 0 3 — 24 6 0 0 15 — 21

ATTENDANCE: 25,723 BOONE, N.C. – Trailing by 18 points with less than six minutes to go, Appalachian State University football rallied to pull within three points but a would-be game-tying field goal missed wide left in the waning seconds and the Mountaineers dropped a heartbreaking 24-21 decision to North Carolina A&T at Kidd Brewer Stadium. North Carolina A&T (1-0) led 24-6 following Cody Jones’ 27-yard field goal with 8:11 to play but Appalachian State (0-2) scored two touchdowns in a span of 4:59 to to cut the deficit to 24-21 with 24 seconds to go. The Mountaineers then recovered an onside kick and moved 20 yards in three plays to set up a 46-yard field-goal attempt with seven seconds remaining. However, senior Drew Stewart’s attempt sailed a couple of feet wide of the left upright to dash Appalachian’s hopes of a miraculous comeback. Appalachian dominated in most phases of the game, outgaining N.C. A&T, 378-244, and picking up 23 first downs compared to the Aggies’ 12. However, A&T scored two non-offensive touchdowns on a 91-yard kickoff return and a 57-yard interception return that proved to be the difference in its first win over App State since 1993. D’Vonte Grant’s 57-yard interception return for a touchdown with four seconds to go in the second quarter capped a disastrous opening half for the Mountaineers, who trailed 21-6 at halftime despite surrendering only 100 yards of offense over the first two periods. The score remained 21-6 until Jones’ field goal stretched the Aggies’ lead to 18 points nearly midway through the fourth quarter. Behind backup quarterback Kameron Bryant, who replaced starter Jamal Londry-Jackson at the beginning of the second half, Appalachian answered with an 11-play, 65-yard drive that was capped by a 10-yard touchdown pass from Bryant to tight end Barrett Burns with 5:23 left in the ballgame. A two-point conversion pass from Bryant to Simms McElfresh pulled the Apps within 10 points at 24-14. After a failed onside-kick attempt, Appalachian’s defense forced a three-and-out but a 41-yard punt pinned the Mountaineers at their own one yard line. They were able to move out from the shadow of their own goal post but N.C. A&T seemingly iced the victory when Appalachian turned the ball over on downs at its own 14 yard line with 3:01 remaining. However, instead of kicking a field goal on fourth and five from the App State nine yard line, the Aggies elected to go for what would have been a game-clinching first down. The strategy backfired when Patrick Blalock and Dante Blackmon stuffed A&T running back Dominique Drake for a three-yard loss and the Mountaineers took over on their own 12 with 1:53 to play. From there, Bryant engineered a textbook eight-play, 88-yard drive. After an incomplete pass on the first play of the series, Bryant completed his final six passes of the drive, including a nine-yard touchdown pass to freshman running back Marcus Cox that drew the Mountaineers within three points with 24 seconds left in the game. Stewart followed with a perfectly executed onside kick that was recovered by Kevin Walton at midfield. An 11-yard completion to Andrew Peacock and a nine-yard run by Cox set up Stewart’s heart-wrenching miss with two seconds left on the clock. In just one half of work, Bryant completed 21-of-31 passes without an interception for 191 yards and two touchdowns to nearly lead what would have been perhaps the most improbable comeback in program history. Senior Tony Washington had a career-high 11 receptions for 101 yards to lead all receivers while Peacock also hauled in 11 catches (matching a career high) for 93 yards. Cox caught three passes for 49 yards and two touchdowns and also rushed eight times for 36 yards (4.5 avg.). Defensively, Appalachian forced five three-and-outs and limited N.C. A&T to 18 yards or less on nine of its 13 possessions. Redshirt freshman John Law led the way with 14 tackles and fellow inside linebacker Karl Anderson added 11 stops and a pass break-up.

1 2 3 4 F 7 17 0 7 — 31 0 7 0 14 — 21

ATTENDANCE: 9,782 ELON, N.C. — Behind 308 all-purpose yards and three touchdowns from true freshman Marcus Cox, Appalachian State University football opened its final Southern Conference campaign with a 31-21 triumph over Elon at soggy Rhodes Stadium. Cox rushed 26 times for 159 yards and a touchdown and caught five passes for 149 yards and two more scores to help give Scott Satterfield his first victory as a head coach. Thanks in large part to Cox’s 50- and 73-yard touchdown receptions, Appalachian State raced out to a 24-0 lead with 2:50 to go in the first half. The Mountaineers carried a seemingly comfortable 24-7 advantage into the final period but Elon scored back-to-back touchdowns to pull within a field goal at 24-21 with 3:43 remaining in the ballgame. However, Appalachian would not relinquish the lead thanks to Cox, who accounted for all 75 yards on the ensuing possession that culminated with the freshman scoring from three yards out to stretch the advantage to 3121 with 1:27 to go in the ballgame. Cox toted the ball six times during the victory-clinching 75-yard drive, including a pivotal 18-yard gain on third-and-seven from the Apps’ 28 yard line and the three-yard jaunt that all but sealed the Mountaineers’ 18th-straight win over Elon. After managing just 353 yards per game in season-opening defeats to Montana and North Carolina A&T, Appalachian State amassed 599 yards of offense on Saturday night, including 404 through the air. Additionally, the Mountaineers’ 31 points were more than they put on the board in the first two games combined (27) and the Apps held a commanding 35:02-24:58 advantage in time of possession. The high-powered offense had a pair of engineers. Senior Jamal Londry-Jackson made his 22nd-consecutive start at quarterback and completed 16-of-21 passes for 205 yards and a touchdown while behind center primarily for the first and third quarters. Working primarily the second and fourth periods, sophomore Kameron Bryant completed 9-of-12 passes for 199 yards and two scores. Neither signal-caller turned the ball over. Appalachian State’s offense was also buoyed by the return of sophomore wide receiver Sean Price. In his first game of the season, Price caught a game-high eight passes for 99 yards, coming up just a yard short of what would have been his fifth-straight 100-yard performance. As usual, the all-American and Walter Payton Award candidate turned in some highlight-reel-worthy plays, including a 41-yard touchdown from Bryant in the second quarter and a leaping 31-yard catch from Londry-Jackson that moved the Mountaineers off their own goal line in the third. Seniors Tony Washington and Andrew Peacock added five catches apiece or 71 and 54 yards, respectively. Defensively, freshman inside linebacker John Law turned in another monster performance with a game-high 15 tackles, a fumble recovery and a pair of interceptions, the latter of which ended any hopes of an Elon comeback with at the Appalachian 29 yard line with 39 seconds left in the game. In all, the Mountaineers’ allowed a season-low 21 points and held Elon to convert just five of its 14 third downs. NOTES: With its 18th-straight victory over Elon, Appalachian State completed a perfect 11-0 run versus the Phoenix in SoCon play ... the game opened the final SoCon campaign for both programs — Appalachian will join the NCAA Division I FBS Sun Belt Conference and Elon is moving to the NCAA Division I FCS Colonial Athletic Association in 2014 ... the Mountaineers’ winning streak versus Elon dates back to 1965 — Appalachian’s last loss in the series came on Oct. 3, 1964 ... Appalachian State avoided its first 0-3 start since 1993 ... the Mountaineers moved to 25-2 in their last 27 games that immediately followed a same-season loss ... Londry-Jackson moved into a tie for third place in Appalachian State history with 476 career completions (tying D.J. Campbell – 1989-92) ... the 200-yard passing game was the 18th of his career, moving him into a tie for second in program history with Richie Williams (2002-05).

1 2 3 4 F 7 10 3 7 — 27 7 10 7 7 — 24

ATTENDANCE: 29,145 BOONE, N.C. – Thanks in large part to a whopping 42:04-17:56 advantage in time of possession, Charleston Southern remained unbeaten by handing Appalachian State University football a 27-24 defeat at Kidd Brewer Stadium. Charleston Southern (5-0) converted 10-of-18 third downs, including seven-straight in the first half, and all four of its fourth-down attempts to score perhaps the biggest win in its program’s 15-year history. Despite running 30 fewer plays than CSU (81-51), Appalachian State totaled just four fewer yards than the Bucs (428-424) and scored on four of its nine possessions. However, the Mountaineers turned the ball over on downs in CSU territory on each of their final two offensive series to fall to 1-3 for the first time since 2003. Appalachian State jumped out to a 7-0 lead just 1:28 into the game when Marcus Cox scored the first of his three touchdowns on a 14-yard run to cap a five-play, 58-yard drive. The Mountaineers would go on to lead 14-7 and 17-14 in the first half but Charleston Southern answered each Appalachian score with one of its own to send the game into halftime knotted at 17-17. CSU took its first advantage of the game with 5:38 to go in the third quarter on a 21-yard field goal by Mark Deboy but only 45 seconds later, App State retook a 24-20 lead when Cox took a short pass from Kameron Bryant and galloped 65 yards for his third touchdown of the afternoon. Appalachian maintained the four-point edge until late in the fourth quarter. With less than seven minutes to go, Charleston Southern seemingly took the lead on a five-yard touchdown run by Malcolm Dixon. However, not only was the score nullified by an illegal-block penalty by CSU but Dixon was injured on the play. Backup signal-caller Daniel Crogan III entered the game in Dixon’s place and on third and goal from the 15 yard line, eluded several Appalachian State defenders in the backfield and threw on the run into the end zone. It appeared that Appalachian cornerback Rodger Walker might be in position for his second interception of the game but instead, CSU wide receiver Kevin Glears went high over Walker’s back and pulled in the pass for the go-ahead touchdown with 5:27 left on the clock. On the second play of the ensuing possession, Bryant found Tony Washington for a 30-yard pass that moved the Mountaineers into Charleston Southern territory but four plays later, the promising series stalled when CSU cornerback Eli Lee swatted away a pass intended for Washington on fourth and one from the 35 yard line. From there, the Buccaneers picked up two first downs (converting two more third downs in the process) to run out the final 2:59 of the ballgame. Despite Charleston Southern’s 28-minute advantage in time of possession, the statistic that might have doomed the Mountaineers the most was the fact that three of CSU’s 10 third-down conversions came courtesy of Appalachian State penalties (two on its opening touchdown drive and one as the Bucs milked out the clock on their final drive). Appalachian’s frustrating overall performance overshadowed terrific individual efforts by Cox and sophomore wide receiver Sean Price. One week after he became the first player in school history with 100 rushing yards and 100 receiving yards in a single game during last Saturday’s win at Elon, Cox nearly matched the showing with 89 yards on 17 rushes and 91 yards on four receptions. He scored three touchdowns for the second-straight week, adding a two-yard scoring run between the 14-yard rush on the opening possession and the 65-yard catch in the third quarter, giving him eight touchdowns in his four-game collegiate career. For the second time in as many games, Price fell just shy of the 100-yard plateau with a game-high 98 yards on five receptions. He also made a key downfield block to help spring Cox for the final few yards of his go-ahead 65-yard touchdown reception in the third period. At quarterback, Bryant completed 10-of-15 passes for 180 yards and a touchdown while starter Jamal Londry-Jackson connected on 8-of-11 passes for 122 yards. Defensively, inside linebacker Karl Anderson led Appalachian State’s four double-digit tacklers with a career-high 16 stops. Freshman defensive end Olawale Dada added 12 tackles, shattering his previous career high of two, set the previous week at Elon. Running back Christian Reyes ran for 167 yards and a touchdown to lead Charleston Southern. Dixon added 95 yards on the ground and 115 in the air before sustaining the injury on CSU’s next-to-last drive. NOTES: Appalachian State fell to 1-3 for the first time since 2003 … that season, the Mountaineers won six of their final seven games to finish 7-4 … Appalachian has lost consecutive home games in the same season for the first time since 1996, when it dropped back-to-back home games to Furman (20-14 on Oct. 12) and Marshall (24-10 on Oct. 26) … the loss snapped the Mountaineers’ 16-game winning streak versus current members of the Big South Conference, which dated back to a 25-19 defeat to Liberty on Nov. 22, 1997 … Appalachian averaged 8.3 yards per play, compared to 5.3 yards per play for Charleston Southern … Londry-Jackson needs just 41 passing yards to become only the fourth 6,000-yard passer in Appalachian State history (joining App State Hall-ofFamers Armanti Edwards – 10,392, Richie Williams – Karl Anderson tallied a career-high 16 tackles in 7,759 and Steve Brown – 6,533).

SCORING SUMMARY 1 2 3 4 OT F MOUNTAINEERS (1-4, 1-1) 7 7 0 14 0 28 BULLDOGS (2-4, 2-2) 0 14 7 7 3 31 ATTENDANCE: 13,601 CHARLESTON, S.C. — Appalachian State University football forced overtime with an epic late-game drive but a 35-yard field goal lifted The Citadel to a 31-28 overtime win over the Mountaineers at Johnson Hagood Stadium. With its third-straight three-point loss, Appalachian State fell to 1-4 overall (1-1 Southern Conference) for the first time since 1993. With its third win over the Mountaineers in the last 20 seasons, The Citadel moved to 2-4 overall and 2-2 in SoCon play. Trailing 28-21 with 1:19 to go in regulation, Appalachian drove 79 yards in 53 seconds and knotted the score at 28-28 on Kameron Bryant’s two-yard touchdown run with 20 seconds left on the clock. The Mountaineers got the ball first in overtime and appeared on their way to putting at least three points in the first extra period. However, on third and eight from the 11, Bryant’s pass intended for Sean Price was deflected high into the air and back towards the line of scrimmage where it fell into the hands of Citadel defensive lineman Mitchell Jeter, squelching the Mountaineers’ scoring opportunity. Four plays after the fluky interception, Bulldog place kicker Thomas Warren hit a low knuckleball on a 35-yard field-goal attempt but the ugly kick found its way through the uprights for the game-winning points. Neither team led by more than a touchdown in a battle that was also nearly even in total yards (375 for The Citadel, 364 for Appalachian), time of possession (31:05 for The Citadel, 28:55 for Appalachian) and third- and fourth-down conversions (7-of-15 for The Citadel, 9-of-16 for Appalachian). However, errors proved costly for the Mountaineers, who turned the ball over twice and were penalized seven times for 56 yards. The Citadel also benefitted from some good fortune, particularly losing only one fumble despite putting the ball on the ground four times. Making the first start of his career, Bryant completed 19-of-23 passes for 214 yards and a touchdown despite suffering from cramps for much of the ballgame in Charleston’s stifling heat and humidity (temperatures were in the mid 80s with humidity pushing 80 percent). He was aided by true freshman Marcus Cox, who amassed 193 allpurposed yards (98 rushing, 95 receiving) and scored two touchdowns on runs of two and 23 yards. Defensively, inside linebacker Karl Anderson and John Law led the Mountaineers with seven tackles apiece. Redshirt freshmen Alex Gray and Darian Small chipped in with six stops each. Appalachian State’s latest narrow defeat gives it three-straight losses of three points or less for only the second time in the program’s 84-season history. The only previous instance came in 1952, when the Mountaineers lost 14-12 at Lenoir-Rhyne, 3-0 to Catawba and 22-19 to East Carolina. NOTES: Appalachian State went to overtime for the second time in the last six games and 10th time in program history ... Appalachian, which has lost three-straight overtime affairs, fell to 5-5 all-time in extra periods ... the overtime tilt was also the Mountaineers’ second in their last three trips to Johnson Hagood Stadium (Appalachian topped The Citadel, 30-27, in OT in 2009) ... The Citadel has claimed consecutive wins over App State for the first time since it won three-straight games in the series from 1991-93 ... the loss was Appalachian State’s first to a team with a losing record since a 30-27 defeat at Western Carolina in the 2004 season finale ... prior to the loss, Appalachian’s previous 26 losses had come to teams with .500 record or better ... App State fell to 37-2 since the beginning of the 2005 season against SoCon teams other than Furman, Georgia Southern and Wofford ... both losses have come at the hands of The Citadel in the past two seasons.

SCORING SUMMARY 1 2 3 4 F BULLDOGS (5-2, 3-0) 7 14 3 10 — 34 MOUNTAINEERS (1-5, 1-2) 3 0 0 7 — 10 ATTENDANCE: 24,491 BOONE, N.C. - Appalachian State University football managed just 223 yards of offense — its lowest output in seven years — in a 34-10 loss to No. 23 Samford at Kidd Brewer Stadium. Appalachian State’s (1-5, 1-2 SoCon) 223 yards were its fewest since it managed only 133 in a 23-10 defeat at NC State to open the 2006 season. The Mountaineers moved the ball well in spurts and picked up 17 first downs, including at least one on seven of their 12 possessions (not counting a one-play series to end the ballgame). However, all but two of those possessions ultimately ended in punts and Appalachian scored its fewest points in a home game since a 24-10 loss to Marshall on Oct. 26, 1996. Meanwhile, Samford (5-2, 3-0 SoCon) racked up 461 yards in its first victory over Appalachian since 1970. Twohundred-and-fifty-nine of the Bulldogs’ 461 yards came in the first half, as it jumped out to a 21-3 halftime lead. Samford grabbed a 7-0 advantage just 2:02 into the game but the Mountaineers’ defense followed with fourstraight stops, including three three-and-outs. Thanks to the stellar defensive stretch and a 38-yard field goal by Drew Stewart near the end of the first quarter, Appalachian State trailed just 7-3 midway through the second period. However, Samford put together back-to-back long touchdown drives (71 and 80 yards) to close the first half and took a commanding 21-3 lead into the locker room. Appalachian never drew any closer and avoided being held to single-digit points at home for the first time in 21 years when Kameron Bryant found Andrew Peacock for a 15-yard touchdown pass with 4:11 to go in the ballgame. True freshman running back Marcus Cox continued to be a bright spot for the Mountaineers, racking up 118 allpurpose yards (79 rushing, 39 receiving) on 24 touches (18 rushes, five receptions). However, he was held without a touchdown for the first time since the season opener at Montana. Despite another impressive outing by Cox, the top individual performance of the afternoon came from true freshman punter Bentlee Critcher, who averaged 54.9 yards over nine punts, good for the fourth-longest single-game average in school history. Four of his nine punts pinned Samford inside the 20 yard line. Fabian Truss led Samford with 217 all-purpose yards, including 82 rushing and 73 receiving, while quarterback Andy Summerlin completed 20-of-31 passes for 265 yards and a touchdown. NOTES: Dating back to its season-ending loss to Illinois State in the second round of the 2012 NCAA Division I Football Championship, Appalachian State has lost four-straight home games, its longest home losing streak since it dropped four in a row at then-Conrad Stadium in 1970-71 (Oct. 31, 1970 – 9-7 vs. East Tennessee State; Nov. 7, 1970 – 42-35 vs. Samford; Nov. 14, 1970 – 37-13 vs. Wofford; Sept. 25, 1971 – 26-0 vs. Western Carolina) ... Appalachian dropped to 6-2 all-time versus Samford, including a 5-1 record in six Southern Conference matchups ... Appalachian was the only team Samford had not previously beaten in five-plus seasons in the SoCon ... in addition to the 223 yards being the Mountaineers’ fewest since the season-opening loss at NC State in 2006, it was also their lowest offensive output versus an NCAA Division I FCS opponent since Oct. 16, 2004 at Georgia Southern (175 yards in a 54-7 loss) and its lowest total at home since Aug. 31, 1991 versus Marshall (211 yards in a 9-3 win) ... Appalachian is 1-5 for the first time since 1993 and its three-game losing streak is its longest within the confines of one season since it dropped three in a row from Oct. 9-23, 1993 (at Furman, vs. Georgia Southern, at Marshall) ... the Mountaineers have not been held to single-digit points at home since they were shut out by The Citadel (25-0) in 1992.

SCORING SUMMARY 1 2 3 4 F MOUNTAINEERS (1-6, 1-3) 0 3 0 7 — 10 PALADINS (3-4, 2-2) 6 7 14 0 — 27 ATTENDANCE: 7,322 GREENVILLE, S.C. — Five turnovers — Appalachian State University football’s most in nearly four years — led directly to 24 Furman points in the Mountaineers’ 27-10 loss to FU on Saturday afternoon at Paladin Stadium. Appalachian State (1-6, 1-3 SoCon) outgained Furman (3-4, 2-2 SoCon) by a whopping 473-336 margin but lost four fumbles and had an interception returned 98 yards for a touchdown in its fourth-straight loss. The turning point of the ballgame came midway through the second quarter when, trailing 6-3, the Mountaineers drove to FU’s one yard line looking to take their first lead of the afternoon. However, after a false-start penalty by right tackle Will Corbin pushed Appalachian back to the six yard line, wide receiver Andrew Peacock was called on to throw his first pass of the season on a reverse. Peacock threw into traffic and the pass was picked off by Furman linebacker Gary Wilkins at the two yard line. Wilkins leaped over Peacock at the 15 yard line and no other Mountaineer had a chance to catch him as he rumbled 98 yards for a touchdown that likely represented a 14-point swing from what could have been a 10-6 App State lead to a 13-3 deficit. Appalachian did not get any closer the rest of the way, as the Paladins turned two more Mountaineer miscues into touchdowns in the third quarter to extend their lead to 27-3. Despite posting their second-highest yardage output of the season, the Mountaineers did not find the end zone until a 39-yard pass from Kameron Bryant to Simms McElfresh cut the deficit to 27-10 with 3:01 to go in the game. The five turnovers marred otherwise stout performances on both sides of the ball for Appalachian State. In addition to racking up 137 more yards than the Paladins, the Mountaineers also had a 30-14 advantage in first downs and allowed FU to convert just 2-of-10 third downs while converting 7-of-14 third- and fourth-down opportunities of their own. On the flipside, the results may have been even worse considering that Appalachian fumbled eight times total but lost only four. Despite losing only half of the eight fumbles, the Mountaineers’ five total turnovers were their most since they had five miscues in a 20-13 win over South Carolina State in the opening round of the 2009 NCAA Division I Football Championship on Nov. 28, 2009. Individually, Bryant completed 32-of-40 passes and set career highs for completions, attempts and passing yards (307) in Saturday’s loss. McElfresh led all receivers with a career-best 65 yards on three catches while Peacock had a game-high eight receptions for 57 yards. True freshman running back Marcus Cox recorded the second 100-yard rushing game of his career with a game-high 118 yards on 21 carries (5.6 yards per rush). Defensively, inside linebackers Karl Anderson and Brandon McGowan led the Mountaineers with nine tackles apiece. NOTES: Appalachian State lost to Furman for only the fourth time in 15 meetings since 2000 ... however, following their last matchup as Southern Conference rivals, FU holds a 23-19-3 advantage in the all-time series and is the only SoCon member that has a winning all-time record against the Mountaineers ... Cox has rushed for at least 79 yards in all five starts of his career ... with seven catches, senior Tony Washington moved into 10th place in Appalachian State history with 113 career receptions ... McElfresh’s touchdown catch was the first of his career.

GEORGIA SOUTHERN 14 APPALACHIAN STATE 38 SCORING SUMMARY EAGLES (4-3, 2-3) MOUNTAINEERS (2-6, 2-3)

1 2 3 4 F 7 0 7 0 — 14 0 17 21 0 — 38

ATTENDANCE: 23,901 BOONE, N.C. — Appalachian State University football put together the performance its been waiting for all season on Saturday, dominating every phase of the game in a 38-14 rout over rival and No. 24-ranked Georgia Southern at Kidd Brewer Stadium. With the victory, Appalachian State (2-6, 2-3 SoCon) snapped four-game overall and home losing streaks and handed Georgia Southern (4-3, 2-3 SoCon) its worst Southern Conference loss since a 52-16 loss to Appalachian at Kidd Brewer Stadium in 2009. The Mountaineers racked up 515 yards while limiting the Eagles to 363, 128 below their SoCon-best 491.7-yard average coming in. Appalachian also held significant edges in passing yards (381-72) and yards per play (7.4-5.3) en route to a season high in points and a season low in points allowed. Georgia Southern scored on the opening series of the game and led 7-0 after one quarter but the Mountaineers scored the game’s next 31 points to turn the seven-point deficit into a 24-point lead midway through the third quarter. Spurred by a controversial spot on its third play of the game, GSU scored on its opening drive to grab the early lead. Appalachian seemingly turned in a three-and-out on the Eagles’ first series when it appeared that Georgia Southern running back Jerick McKinnon was stuffed for no gain on third-and-one at the GSU 29 yard line. However, officials ruled that McKinnon picked up the yard needed for the first down and the Eagles turned the good fortune into a seven-play, 80-yard drive. McKinnon capped the series with a nine-yard touchdown run that gave GSU the 7-0 advantage just 6:29 into the ballgame. The Mountaineers went three-and-out on their next series and Georgia Southern looked to be on the way to extending its lead when it drove inside deep in Appalachian State territory on the ensuing drive. However, the turning point of the game and, perhaps, App State’s season came on that series when Mountaineer nose tackle Darian Small sustained a serious lower-body injury on an illegal chop block inside the Appalachian 30 yard line. The vicious play seemed to invigorate the Mountaineers, who got a big sack from Deuce Robinson on third down to turn what likely would have at least three GSU points into a punt. From there, the energized Mountaineers scored on five-straight possessions and, when the blitz was over, led 31-7 with 7:27 to go in the third quarter. During that 21:31 span, Appalachian turned the rivalry game into a laugher by not only amassing 332 yards for four touchdowns and a field goal but also limiting GSU’s high-powered offense to just 48 yards and three first downs over five series. After the Mountaineers stretched the lead to 31-7, Georgia Southern showed signed of life by responding with a 10-play, 71-yard drive that cut the deficit to 31-14. The Eagles looked to take advantage of the momentum by trying an onside kick on the ensuing kickoff but Appalachian was not fooled and recovered the ball on the GSU 49 yard line. Three plays later, the Apps ended any doubt about what the final outcome would be when Kameron Bryant found Tony Washington for a 29-yard touchdown pass that stretched the lead back to 24 points. The final scoring strike from Bryant to Washington highlighted career days for both players. Bryant connected on 27-of-33 passes without an interception for a career-high 381 yards and career-high-tying two touchdowns and also rushed for two scores in the best performance of his young career. His leading receiver was Washington, who racked up a career-high 129 yards on just five receptions. Fellow senior wideout Andrew Peacock also had a terrific afternoon with 10 catches for 127 yards, just one reception and three yards short of his career highs. Sophomores Malachi Jones and Simms McElfresh rounded out a great day by Appalachian’s receivers with six catches for 57 yards and three catches for 47 yards, respectively. McElfresh hauled in a nine-yard touchdown catch for his second score in as many weeks. Freshman running back Marcus Cox added a presence on the ground for Appalachian, rushing for 104 yards on 20 carries (5.2 avg.). The 100-yard rushing performance was his second-straight and third in six-career starts. As good as the Mountaineers’ offense was, the story of the day was their defense, which turned in yet another stellar performance against Georgia Southern’s vaunted triple-option attack. Robinson highlighted the defensive masterpiece with nine tackles, including 3.5 for loss and a sack. Inside linebackers Karl Anderson and Brandon McGowan led the Mountaineers with 10 tackles apiece while safety Doug Middleton added nine tackles, a tackle for loss, a forced fumble and an interception in his first start of the season. NOTES: The victory was Appalachian State’s thirdstraight over future Sun Belt Conference rival Georgia Southern, matching the Mountaineers’ longest winning streaks in the history of the series, which dates back to 1932 ... Appalachian also won threestraight over GSU from 1936-87 and 1995-97 ... the Mountaineers’ previous two wins over Georgia Southern had come when the Eagles were ranked No. 1 in NCAA Division I FCS (24-17 in Boone in 2011 and 31-28 in Statesboro, Ga. last season) ... Appalachian State moved to 16-12-1 in 29 all-time meetings versus GSU, including a 12-10 edge in 22 meetings when both teams were members of the SoCon (1993-2013) ... with the win, Appalachian avoided losing its fifthstraight game at home, which would have stood alone as the longest home losing streak in school history ... the Mountaineers moved to 79-55-1 all-time and 39-17 in its last 56 matchups versus nationally ranked FCS teams ... the attendance of 23,901 was the 50thTony Washington had 129 receiving yards and a touch- consecutive regular-season crowd above Kidd Brewer Stadium’s official seating capacity. down in App State’s 38-14 rout over Georgia Southern.

GAME 9 • NOVEMBER 2 vs. CHATTANOOGA

CHATTANOOGA 35 APPALACHIAN STATE 28 SCORING SUMMARY 1 2 3 4 F MOCS (7-2, 5-1) 0 7 7 21 — 35 MOUNTAINEERS (2-7, 2-4) 7 7 7 7 — 28 ATTENDANCE: 18,991 BOONE, N.C. — Capped by 28-yard interception return for a touchdown with 2:52 to go, Chattanooga scored 21 fourth-quarter points and held on for a 35-28 win over Appalachian State University football at Kidd Brewer Stadium. With its first win in Boone in 30 years, Chattanooga (7-2, 5-1 SoCon) moved into first place in the Southern Conference standings, a half-game ahead of Samford (6-3, 4-1 SoCon) and Wofford (5-3, 4-1 SoCon). As has been the case for three of its seven losses this season, Appalachian State (2-7, 2-4 SoCon) held a 424-355 edge in total yards. However, UTC scored a pair of non-offensive touchdowns (on a fake field goal in the second quarter and Nakevion Leslie’s game-winning interception return with 2:52 to go) and benefitted from its own poor snap on a fluky fourth-down play that kick-started its 21-point final period. Appalachian led 21-14 early in the fourth quarter when it forced Chattanooga to line up for a punt on fourthand-three from its own 33 yard line. The fourth-down snap was high and UTC punter Nick Pollard had to jump high to haul it in. By the time he came down with the ball, there was no chance to get off a punt but with Appalachian State defenders trained on a block, he was able to squirt around the Mountaineers surrounding him in the backfield and down the right sideline for a first-down gain. Two plays later, quarterback Jacob Huesman found Terrell Robinson for a 31-yard touchdown that knotted the score at 21-21 with 12:49 to go in the ballgame. One series later, Chattanooga took its first lead of the game on a 29-yard touchdown pass from Huesman to Xavier Borishade with 9:04 to go. However, the Mocs’ advantage was short lived as Appalachian needed just five plays to tie it back up at 28-28 on a 20-yard pass from Kameron Bryant to Tony Washington with 7:07 to play. The game-tying 49-yard drive was set up by a 44-yard kickoff return by Bobo Beathard. Appalachian’s defense forced Chattanooga to punt on its ensuing possession and the Mountaineers took over on their own three yard line with 4:51 to go. The Apps picked up one first down but on third-and-nine from the 21, Bryant was hit by UTC defensive end Keinota Davis as he let go of a throw intended for open receiver Andrew Peacock across the middle. Thanks to Davis’ pressure, what likely would have been a first-down pass turned into an easy interception for Leslie, who corralled the redirected ball and returned it 28 yards for the go-ahead scored. The Mountaineers would not go away easily though, as they marched 77 yards all the way to the Mocs’ nine yard line on their final drive but on fourth-and-two from the nine, a would-be game-tying touchdown pass floated just past the outstretched arms of tight end Barrett Burns in the corner of the end zone and UTC took over with 44 seconds to go. From there, the Mocs ran out the clock to secure their first win over Appalachian State since 2004 and their first win in Boone since 1983. Freshman Marcus Cox staked Appalachian to the 21-14 lead with touchdown runs of four, one and one yards. He finished with 158 yards on the ground (just one shy of a career high), good for his third-straight 100-yard rushing game and fourth in seven career starts. His three rushing touchdowns were a career high and the most by a Mountaineer since Steven Miller ran for three scores last season versus The Citadel. Bryant completed 26-of-36 for 257 yards and a touchdown. His top target was Malachi Jones, who set career highs with nine receptions and 74 receiving yards. Defensively, inside linebacker Karl Anderson led the Mountaineers with 11 tackles while defensive end Adam Scott added five stops, including three for loss. Huesman led Chattanooga with 259 yards of total offense (132 rushing, 127 passing) and three touchdowns (two passing, one rushing). NOTES: The loss snapped Appalachian State’s eight-game overall and 14-game home winning streaks versus Chattanooga ... Appalachian fell to 26-11 in 37 all-time meetings against UTC ... the Mountaineers saw their 18-game winning streak in home games in the month of November also come to an end with their first November loss at Kidd Brewer Stadium since a 14-13 defeat to Maine in the opening round of the 2002 NCAA Division I-AA playoffs ... Saturday’s attendance of 18,991 at 23,150-seat Kidd Brewer Stadium snapped a string of 50-consecutive regularseason crowds above The Rock’s official seating capacity, which dated back to the beginning of the 2005 campaign ... with 44 receiving yards, Peacock moved into sixth in Appalachian State history with 1,909 career yards, passing CoCo Hillary (1,906 yds. - 2007-10) on the program’s all-time receiving yardage list ... less than a week after moving from offensive line to assist on Appalachian’s injury-depleted defensive front, Tyson Fernandez made his first-career start at nose tackle and finished with four tackles.

Appalachian State 6 GEORGIA 45 SCORING SUMMARY MOUNTAINEERS (2-8) BULLDOGS (6-3)

1 2 3 4 F 6 0 0 0 — 6 7 7 17 14 — 45

ATTENDANCE: 92,746 ATHENS, Ga. — Appalachian State University football hung with one of the nation’s top teams for the better part of three quarters but Georgia’s talent and depth eventually prevailed in the Bulldogs’ 45-6 win over the Mountaineers at Sanford Stadium. Despite making just 2-of-4 field-goal attempts in the first half, Appalachian State (2-8) trailed just 14-6 at halftime and 17-6 late in the third quarter before Georgia (6-3) scored four touchdowns in a 13:05 span to pull away. Appalachian drove into Georgia territory on four of its first five possessions but came away with just six points on 33- and 49-yard field goals by Drew Stewart. The other promising drives ended with Georgia blocking a 49-yard field-goal attempt and Stewart barely pulling a 46-yard try wide left. While the Mountaineers’ offense was clicking, Georgia struggled to establish an offensive rhythm against Appalachian’s defense in the first half. The Bulldogs put together touchdown drives of 72 and 68 yards in the first 20 minutes of the game but managed just 65 yards in their other three possessions of the first half and heard boos from the sellout crowd of 92,746 as they went into the locker room clinging to the slim 14-6 lead. In all, UGA outgained App State just 215-194 in the first half with the Mountaineers holding a 156-155 advantage in passing yards and the teams picking up 12 first downs apiece. Appalachian continued to keep it close for much of the third quarter and Georgia led just 17-6 with less than five minutes to go in the period. However, UGA’s superior depth finally became apparent late in the third when it scored on four-straight possessions to turn the 11-point edge into a commanding 45-6 lead with 8:29 to go in the ballgame. After outgaining Appalachian by just 21 yards in the first half, Georgia held a 353-58 advantage in total yardage in the second half, en route to outscoring the Mountaineers 31-0 after the break. Despite the lopsided final outcome, several Mountaineers enjoyed strong individual showings against the vaunted Bulldogs. Leading the way was senior wide receiver Andrew Peacock, who caught a career-high 12 passes for 90 yards. The 12 receptions are tied for the seventh-most in Appalachian State single-game history and up Peacock’s career total to 199, just three shy of the school record of 202 set by current St. Louis Ram Brian Quick from 2007-11. Tony Washington hauled in five catches for 78 yards while Georgia native Marcus Cox totaled 79 all-purpose yards (59 rushing, 20 receiving) against UGA’s stout defense. Sophomore quarterback Kameron Bryant completed 22-of-39 passes for 221 yards, including 13-of-16 for 145 yards in the opening period. Defensively, linebackers Brandon McGowan and Michael Frazier led Appalachian State with seven tackles apiece while Karl Anderson added five stops, an interception and a pass breakup. Georgia was led by quarterback Aaron Murray, who completed 19-of-26 passes for 281 yards and two touchdowns. Murray’s 23-yard touchdown pass to Michael Bennett in the second quarter was the 115th of his career, which set a new Southeastern Conference record. Appalachian did a yeoman’s job against UGA’s rushing game, limiting the Bulldogs to just 127 yards on the ground, 23 of which came on a back-breaking scramble by Murray in the third quarter that was a catalyst to the Bulldogs’ four-touchdowns-in-13-minutes blitz. NOTES: Appalachian State fell to 1-13 all-time versus the current members of the SEC ... when Appalachian jumped out to a 3-0 lead on Stewart’s 33-yard field goal on the opening series of the ballgame, it marked the Mountaineers’ first lead against a BCS conference opponent since their 34-32 win at Michigan on Sept. 1, 2007 and their first lead against an SEC opponent since it led Auburn, 15-7, late in the third quarter of a 22-15 loss on Sept. 4, 1999 ... the crowd of 92,746 was the second-largest to ever witness an Appalachian State game, behind only the 109,218 in attendance for the historic triumph at Michigan in 2007 ... with 90 receiving yards, Peacock moved into fifth in Appalachian State history with 1,999 career yards ... With 78 receiving yards, Washington moved into a tie for 10th in school history with 1,613 career yards (matching Sterling Hayward – 2000-03) ... Stewart’s 49-yard field goal in the first quarter was a career long ... Appalachian’s opening drive was its longest of the season in terms of time of possession (7:51).

GAME 11 • NOVEMBER 16 at WOFFORD

Appalachian State 33 WOFFORD 21 SCORING SUMMARY MOUNTAINEERS (3-8, 3-4) TERRIERS (5-5, 4-3)

1 2 3 4 F 7 7 10 13 — 33 7 7 0 7 — 21

ATTENDANCE: 8,315 SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Andrew Peacock became Appalachian State University’s all-time leader in receptions and Appalachian State put together a dominant second-half performance in a 33-21 win over No. 24 Wofford at Gibbs Stadium. With the victory, Appalachian State (3-8, 3-4 SoCon) snapped a two-game skid and picked up its second win of the season over a nationally ranked opponent. The loss eliminated Wofford (5-5, 4-3 SoCon) from Southern Conference championship contention and consideration for a fourth-straight berth in the NCAA Division I Football Championship. Appalachian trailed 14-10 at the half but outgained Wofford by a 258-117 margin in the second half to cruise to its first win over the Terriers in three years. The second-half romp was sparked by Appalachian State’s defense. After getting gashed for 228 yards before halftime, the Mountaineers surrendered a total of just 14 yards on Wofford’s first four series of the second half. That allowed the offense to put points on the board on each of Appalachian’s first four possessions after the break (three touchdowns and a field goal) and take a commanding 33-14 lead. Despite taking the lead during a 10-point third quarter, the turning point of the game for Appalachian came on the first play of the final period. With the Mountaineers holding a slim 20-14 advantage after they settled for a 30yard field goal by Drew Stewart on their second possession of the second half, Kennan Gilchrist and Thomas Bronson converged on Wofford quarterback Michael Weimer, who was left with the ball on what appeared to be a broken play. Gilchrist jarred the ball free with a big hit and Adam Scott recovered the fumble at the Wofford 17 yard line. Three plays and 1:01 after the only turnover of the day, Marcus Cox ran it in from three yards out to stretch the lead to 26-14. Appalachian’s defense forced a three-and-out on Wofford’s ensuing possession and the offense marched 85 yards in 15 plays, converting a third down and two fourth downs along the way, and milked 6:57 off the clock before Cox scored his career-high-tying third touchdown of the afternoon from two yards out to make it 33-14 with 5:43 to go in the ballgame. Aided by 49-yard pass on fourth down and 34 to go, Wofford scored on its last possession but it was too little, too late, as the Mountaineers ran out the final 2:55 of the game to seal the victory. Peacock’s record-breaking 203rd reception of his career came on a seven-yard pass from Kameron Bryant on the first play of Appalachian’s second drive of the third quarter. He broke the previous record of 202 set by current St. Louis Ram Brian Quick from 2007-11. Peacock finished the day with seven catches for 54 yards, giving him 206 receptions for 2,053 yards in his career. His 12-yard catch on the first play of the game made him only the fifth 2,000yard receiver in school history. While Peacock had a record-breaking day, fellow senior wideout Tony Washington and freshman tight end Barrett Burns turned in career-best performances. Washington led all receivers with nine catches for a career-high 138 yards and a touchdown and Burns added eight receptions for 63 yards (both career bests). Bryant finished 33-for-43 passes without an interception for 305 yards and a touchdown. He also ran for 21 yards and was not sacked behind a makeshift offensive line that featured three new starters due to injuries. Cox added a 119 yards on a career-high 35 carries to go along with his three scores. His fourth 100-yard effort in the last five games pushed him to 1,035 yards for the season, making him only the third freshman in school history to top the 1,000-yard rushing plateau (joining Armanti Edwards, who rushed for 1,153 yards in 2006, and Chip Hooks, who ran for 1,062 yards in 1991). Defensively, Karl Anderson led Appalachian with 11 tackles. Alex Gray and Brandon McGowan added nine stops apiece. NOTES: Appalachian State snapped a two-game losing streak to Wofford, defeating the Terriers for the first time since 2010 and the first time in Spartanburg since 2009 ... against a Wofford team that traditionally dominates in time of possession, Appalachian possessed the ball for a season-high 37 minutes ... two of the Mountaineers’ three wins this season have come against nationally ranked teams (Appalachian also beat No. 24 Georgia Southern, 38-14, on Oct. 26) ... the game was Appalachian State’s 148th and final SoCon road game ... Appalachian finished with an 8957-2 (.608) all-time record in SoCon road games ... first-year defensive coordinator Nate Woody left his old stomping grounds with a win ... Woody spent 26 seasons at Wofford (four as a player, 22 as a coach) before taking over Appalachian’s defense in the offseason.

WESTERN CAROLINA APPALACHIAN STATE

27 48

1 2 3 4 F 0 7 13 7 — 27 14 17 17 0 — 48

ATTENDANCE: 27,115 BOONE, N.C. - Appalachian State University football raced out to a 31-0 lead less than midway through the second quarter and cruised to a 48-27 victory over longtime rival Western Carolina at Kidd Brewer Stadium. With the victory in its final Southern Conference and NCAA Division I FCS game, Appalachian State (4-8, 4-4 SoCon) kept possession of the Old Mountain Jug (the traveling trophy presented to the winner of the AppalachianWCU matchup) for the ninth-straight year and 31st time in 38 games since the Jug was introduced to the rivalry in 1976. Saturday’s contest was a rout from the get-go. Appalachian took a 7-0 lead just 2:14 into the game on the first of Marcus Cox’s four touchdowns and went on to score on four of its first five possessions, capped by a 50-yard touchdown pass from Kameron Bryant to Tony Washington that stretched the advantage to 31-0 with 8:05 still left to play in the second quarter. Highlighted by a 37-yard interception return for a touchdown by linebacker Karl Anderson on the second play of the second half, the Mountaineers extended the lead to 48-14 midway through the third quarter before Western Carolina (2-10, 1-7 SoCon) scored two late touchdowns to account for the final margin. The story of the day was Cox, who capped one of the most prolific campaigns by a freshman in Appalachian State history with a record-breaking performance in the season finale. Cox rushed for 215 yards on the afternoon, giving him 1,250 rushing yards for the season, both Appalachian State freshman records. His four touchdowns (on 13-, 56- and two-yard runs and a 15-yard reception) were also the most ever by a Mountaineer freshman while his 21 total touchdowns and 15 rushing touchdowns for the season set and tied Appalachian freshman records, respectively. In all, Cox accounted for 234 of Appalachian State’s 491 yards of offense. The 491 yards came on just 60 snaps, good for a whopping 8.2 yards per play. Bryant engineered the majority of the 491-yard output with an efficient day behind center, completing 10-of-16 passes for 186 yards and two scores before being lifted from the game in the third quarter. Senior Jamal LondryJackson came on to complete all five of his passes in the final outing of his collegiate career. Washington was the quarterbacks’ top target with four catches for 86 yards. Defensively, Appalachian State forced five-straight three-and-outs in the first and second quarters to help stake the Mountaineers to the commanding 31-0 lead. Appalachian surrendered just 145 yards before WCU put together three long touchdown drives long after the game was in hand. Senior Patrick Blalock led the Mountaineers with eight tackles while Anderson added seven stops to go along with a pass breakup and the 37-yard pick-six. NOTES: Appalachian State moved to 59-18-1 in 78 all-time games versus Western Carolina ... the Old Mountain Jug will remain in Boone for the foreseeable future, as there are currently no future matchups scheduled between Appalachian and WCU after the Mountaineers move to the Sun Belt Conference and NCAA Division I FBS next season ... Appalachian finished with a 204-87-5 (.698) all-time record in 296 SoCon games ... the Mountaineers won 12 conference championships in their 42 seasons in the SoCon, good for second in league history behind Furman, which won its 13th SoCon title on Saturday ... Cox’s 215 rushing yards broke the previous Appalachian State singlegame freshman record of 207 set by Alan Atwater versus Chattanooga on Nov. 1, 2003 ... Cox’s 1,250 rushing yards on the season broke the previous App State freshman record of 1,153, set by Armanti Edwards in 2006 ... his 1,250 yards are good for the 13th-best overall single-season rushing total in school history ... Anderson’s interception was his second in three games and the touchdown was the first of his career ... Appalachian scored 40 points in a game for the first time since a 55-14 win over Coastal Carolina on Sept. 29 of last season ... the Mountaineers’ span of 18 games in between 40-point games was their longest since they went 21 games between 40-point games from Oct. 14, 1995-Sept. 20, 1997 ... with wins in its final two games, Appalachian State avoided finishing below .500 in SoCon play since going 2-5 in league games in 1984 ... in his final game as the CEO of Appalachian State University, outgoing Chancellor Dr. Kenneth E. Peacock was honored with an on-field halftime ceremony and was presented with a game ball after the contest in the Appalachian State locker room ... senior wide receiver Andrew Peacock was taken off the field in an ambulance for precautionary reasons after colliding with a WCU player in the third quarter but was released from Watauga Medical Center shortly after the conclusion of the game with no major injuries.

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 records, beginning in 2006, Appalachian State readjusted its single-season and career records, eliminating statistics compiled in 19 NCAA Division I-AA playoff games played before 2002.

Banks, a linebacker, set an NCAA (all-divisions) record by playing in 62 games during his Appalachian State career (2004-08). He played in three games as a true freshman before suffering an injury and receiving a medical redshirt. He went on to play in each of the Mountaineers’ 59 games from 2005-08.

ATTENDANCE: 20,236

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.

SCORING SUMMARY FIRST Quarter 11:36 UNI Brian Wingert 50 field goal 9:45 UNI Wingert 26 field goal SECOND QUARTER 13:18 APP Kevin Richardson 5 run (Julian Rauch kick) 8:20 UNI David Horne 2 run (Wingert kick) 1:09 UNI Wingert 31 field goal THIRD QUARTER 6:05 APP Richardson 1 run (Rauch kick) FOURTH QUARTER 9:14 APP Jason Hunter 15 fumble recovery (Rauch kick)

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

Hunter galloped untouched into the end zone to give Appalachian a 21-16 lead with 9:14 left to play, setting off a wild celebration on the 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.

Richardson’s first-down run in the waning minutes sealed Appalachian State’s first-ever national championship.

“It just feels so good that I could do something to leave a legacy like that because it’s part of history. I’m glad to be a part of that.”

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

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 victory-sealing drive, which culminated with Richardson’s fourth touchdown of the evening. The two-yard dive was also Richardson’s 30th TD of the season, setting a new NCAA Division I FCS single-season record. Following Richardson’s score, UMass’ last-ditch effort was thwarted when Corey Lynch picked off a Liam Coen pass with 42 seconds to play.

SECOND Quarter :49 APP Richardson 6 run (Rauch kick)

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 seven-point lead with 13:22 remaining in the ballgame.

1 2 3 4 F 0 7 7 7 — 21 14 14 7 14 — 49

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

SCORING SUMMARY FIRST Quarter 10:47 APP K. Richardson 19 yd pass from Armanti Edwards (Julian Rauch kick) 4:15 APP Devon Moore 46 yd run (Julian Rauch kick)

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

SECOND QUARTER 10:22 APP Daniel Kilgore 0 yd fumble recovery (Julian Rauch kick) 1:10 DEL Duncan 39 yd pass from Flacco (Striefsky kick) :44 APP Dexter Jackson 60 yd pass from Armanti Edwards (Julian Rauch kick) THIRD QUARTER 4:56 APP K.

APPALACHIAN STATE 28 • DELAWARE 7 0:44 TO GO • SECOND QUARTER

APPALACHIAN STATE 42 • DELAWARE 14 6:02 TO GO • FOURTH QUARTER 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. Richardson was the workhorse once again on the scoring drive, as he picked up 51 yards on the possession and went over the 100-yard rushing plateau for the 19th time in his illustrious career.

NOTING APPALACHIAN STATE IN THE POSTSEASON • Appalachian State was the first program to ever win three-consecutive NCAA Division I FCS/Division I-AA national championships and remains one of only two programs to accomplish the feat. Only three other programs have ever won two Division I-AA/FCS national titles in a row: Georgia Southern (1985-86, 1989-90, 19992000), Youngstown State (1993-94) and North Dakota State (2011-13). • Only eight programs in NCAA football history boast three-straight national championships, regardless of division. Appalachian State 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.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2007

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 late in the first half 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 State when the Wolverines intercepted a pass by Edwards 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.

NO. 23 JOHN SETTLE

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 jersey (No. 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 Appalachian State retired John Settle’s No. 23 jersey on Nov. 22, 1986. time of his departure from Boone, he was the third-ranked rusher in NCAA Division I-AA football history. Settle, a criminal justice major while at Appalachian 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, 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 as the Carolina Panthers’ running backs coach (2011-12) and one with the Cleveland Browns (2013). He is now back in the college ranks as the running backs coach at the University of Pittsburgh. 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. I hope that someday I will have the Currently the running backs coach at the University of Pittsburgh, John Settle opportunity to give back to a place that enjoyed a six-year NFL playing career. has given so much to me.”

NO. 32 DEXTER COAKLEY

Perhaps the most decorated player in the illustrious history of Appalachian State University football, Appalachian retired Dexter Coakley’s No. 32 jersey 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 Division 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 a firstAppalachian State retired Dexter Coakley’s round, overtime victory over No. 7 New No. 32 jersey on April 19, 2005. Hampshire before falling at secondranked 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. Coakley 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!

ROB BEST, SHAWN ELLIOTT & STACY SEARELS

As Appalachian State football 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 State’s buses rounded a corner on Route 105 in Foscoe, N.C., six miles from Appalachian’s Boone, N.C. campus, 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. 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 and arrived back on campus 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. However, that early morning meeting is hardly the end of the story. 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’s 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.” The emotional week 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 letterwinner 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 15 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.

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 highschool 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 secondstraight 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 graduated from Appalachian State with a degree in criminal justice in 2008. A book and Purple Heart recipient Brian Stokes movie chronicling Stokes’ journey are in was a special-teams standout for the production stages. Mountaineers in 2005 and ‘06.

MEMORABLE GAMES

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.

Robbie Price put on an offensive show before 47,489 fans on hand at Williams-Brice Stadium, who saw seven scoring drives over 70 yards, four of which went longer than 80 yards in a 39-34 triumph over South Carolina. After South Carolina scooped up a Price fumble and returned it for the first points of the day, Appalachian 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. However, the Mountaineers responded with a 16-yard touchdown pass from Price to a diving Donnie Holt. Mike Staton sealed the win with an interception that led to a Mountaineer field goal to make the final score 39-34.

SEPTEMBER 9, 1972 APPS BREAK UP PAT ATTEMPT TO SAVE WIN APPALACHIAN STATE 7, WESTERN KENTUCKY 6

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

OCTOBER 20, 1973 BRAKEFIELD TAKES DOWN OLD TEAM APPALACHIAN STATE 28, WOFFORD 21

Backup quarterback Phil Coccioletti not only replaced injured Roscoe Batts in the third quarter, but took over the Mountaineers’ run-oriented “Y Offense” and converted it to a passing attack. Down 21-7 late in the third quarter, Coccioletti connected with split end Bob Steelman for a 35-yard touchdown. On Coccioletti’s second drive, he stunned the Terrier offense with another long ball connecting with Charlie Haugabrook for a 36-yard strike. He finished the drive with a one-yard dive into the endzone. Late in the fourth quarter, Coccioletti drove Appalachian State deep in Wofford territory before Jim Tucker’s six-yard scamper for the go-ahead score. The Mountaineers balanced offense recorded 191 yards in the air and 190 on the ground. Place kicker Greg Clark was 4-for-4 on extra point tries. Clark went on to establish an NCAA record with 56 consecutive good PAT kicks.

MOUNTAINEERS PREVAIL BEHIND SURPRISE WISHBONE ATTACK APPALACHIAN STATE 35, WESTERN CAROLINA 27

Touted as an aerial display, quarterbacks Mike Pussey (Western Carolina) and Steve Brown (Appalachian State) drew 17,124 fans to Conrad Stadium for what was billed to be a passing thriller. The Mountaineers used an element of surprise by utilizing the rushing game in a 35-27 win. Pussey connected on 16 passes for 231 yards and a touchdown, while Brown only put the ball in the air 13 times. Trailing 27-14 at halftime, it was the newly constructed wishbone formation that sparked a rally. The Mountaineers totaled 266 rushing yards in the victory. The Mountaineer defense allowed just 37 yards through the air and two first downs in the second half.

NOVEMBER 1, 1980 ROOKIE CARRIES APPS TO VICTORY APPALACHIAN STATE 27, WESTERN CAROLINA 24

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

OCTOBER 19, 1974 HARMON TAMES WILD DOGS WITH 47-YARDER APPALACHIAN STATE 23, EAST CAROLINA 21

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

MACK BROWN RECORDS WIN NO. 1 AT WAKE FOREST APPALACHIAN STATE 27, WAKE FOREST 25

Making his head coaching debut on Fireworks Night at Groves Stadium, Mack Brown orchestrated a fireworks display of his own in an upset win over Wake Forest, 27-25. Kicker Billy Van Aman notched his first collegiate field goal when he split the uprights from 54 yards out. Van Aman also kicked a 29-yarder late in the third quarter to put Appalachian State up 20-17. The game looked one-sided on paper as Wake doubled up Appalachian in total offensive yards (502-247). However, the Appalachian defense recovered five Wake fumbles. Linebacker Joel Carter registered a pair of touchdowns on two interceptions, including a 48-yard scramble to the end zone on his first pick. Wake completed a 39-yard touchdown and converted a two-point conversion with 1:39 left, but would not get any closer as Appalachian ran the clock for the two-point win.

SEPTEMBER 8, 1984 4TH-AND-99 NO PROBLEM IN SPARKY’S FIRST W APPALACHIAN STATE 17, WESTERN KENTUCKY 16

Head Coach Sparky Woods received his first win with an amazing 99yard, 12-play drive resulting in a 15-yard John Settle touchdown reception with five seconds remaining for the 17-16 victory. Trailing 16-3 late in the fourth quarter, Appalachian State’s Jimmy Armstrong intercepted a pass and returned it to the WKU 15 yard line. With 4:08 left, Mountaineer quarterback Randy Joyce connected for the first of two fourth quarter touchdown passes. On the Mountaineers’ final drive, Joyce converted a crucial fourth and 10 situation by completing an 18-yard pass to Troy Douglas. He followed with a 17-yard strike to Douglas. Joyce rallied the Mountaineers by completing passes of 12, 17, and 19 yards before finishing the drive by connecting with Settle on a 15-yard screen pass in the waning moments.

NOVEMBER 29, 1986 APP STATE FALLS IN FIRST PLAYOFF APPEARANCE NICHOLLS SATE 28, APPALACHIAN STATE 26

Appalachian State rallied behind the arm of Todd Payton and the running abilities of John Settle to bring a 25-13 deficit to within two, at 28-26, but the Mountaineers’ season came to a close when Bjorn Nittmo’s 42-yard field goal sailed wide left with 18 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Settle rushed for 236 yards on 37 carries, while Payton completed 18of-35 pass attempts for 294 yards and two touchdowns in the losing effort. Heading into the I-AA Playoffs, the Mountaineers were seeded No. 6. They held a 13-6 advantage with 11 minutes left in the third quarter, however Nicholls State quarterback Doug Hudson rallied his team and scored on three of their next four possessions to edge the Mountaineers.

AUGUST 31, 1991 ALEXANDER KEYS WIN AT MARSHALL APPALACHIAN STATE 9, MARSHALL 3

It was a tale of two great defenses that led Appalachian State to a 9-3 victory in the season opener. The punting of Harold Alexander kept the Herd at bay throughout the game. Alexander set a Southern Conference-record by averaging 55.5 yard on eight punts. Alexander came up big by booting a 67-yarder and a 51-yarder out of his own endzone against a 10-man rush. Appalachian’s defense started the scoring in the first half when Marshall quarterback Michael Payton was pressured into an intentional grounding call that resulted in a safety. The Herd managed a field goal after a fumble recovery that gave them the ball deep into Mountaineer territory. Marshall’s offensive woes lied heavily on Payton who fumbled twice near the Appalachian goal line. Fullback J.K. Reaves plowed two yards through the middle of the Herd defensive line to record the only touchdown of the day.

It took three overtimes and four Jay Millson field goals, but when it was decided, Appalachian State topped Furman, 26-23, in the first overtime game in Southern Conference history. The first half was marred by mistakes and Furman led 17-9. Late in the fourth quarter, linebacker Brent David forced a fumble and put the Mountaineers on the Paladin 17. After Nate Abraham ran for the quick score, D.J. Campbell connected with A.J. Ellis for the two-point conversion to tie the score, at 17-17. Knotted at the end of regulation, Millson and Burr traded field goals in the first two overtimes. In the third extra period, defensive back Steve Wilks blocked a Burr field goal attempt. Millson connected on his fourth field goal of the day to clinch the victory.

OCTOBER 10, 1992 THREE MINUTES, TWO SECONDS AND 20 POINTS APPALACHIAN STATE 27, JAMES MADISON 21

D.J. Campbell completed three touchdown passes in the final 3:02 of the game, including one to Craig Styron, who caught it on his back with no time remaining on the clock for the winning points. JMU began the scoring with one of the most famous tricks in football lore. Early in the second quarter, the Dukes executed the fumblerooski for a 14-yard touchdown. Bitten by the turnover bug, the Mountaineers fell short of the endzone twice due to turnovers. With the score 21-7, D.J. Campbell threw the first of three touchdown throws to make it 21-14, with 3:02 to play. Just 32 seconds later, it was tied, at 21-21 on another Campbell TD pass.

SEPTEMBER 9, 1989 MELCHOR LEADS MOUNTAINEERS TO VICTORY AT WFU APPALACHIAN STATE 15, WAKE FOREST 10

Facing Ricky Proehl and a crowd of 30,200 Wake Forest fans, first-year head coach Jerry Moore and Appalachian State pulled off a 15-10 victory. Knotted at 3-3 at the intermission, running back Ritchie Melchor recorded 121 of his 139 yards on the ground in the second half, which included a 67-yard touchdown run. On the ensuing Wake Forest possession, Proehl took a short pass and danced 28 yards for the touchdown. With the pressure on late in the fourth quarter, freshman Harold Alexander boomed a punt to Proehl, who fielded the ball cleanly, but could not manage to get out of bounds before time expired.

With ominous weather and a matchup against the No. 1 team in the nation, 19,781 rain-soaked fans spurred Appalachian State to a 10-point victory and triumphantly tore down the goal posts. A dominant performance by the Mountaineer defense keyed the win. Dexter Coakley led the Mountaineers with 15 tackles, three for losses, two pass breakups, and a forced fumble. Johnny Smith, who spent his first three years at fullback, notched seven tackles, a fumble recovery, a sack, and an interception that he returned 70-yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter. In only his second start, Scott Satterfield threw for 113 yards and ran for 30 more, including a score.

NOVEMBER 18, 1995 DIVING SNAG SAVES PERFECT SEASON appalachian STATE 28, THE CITADEL 24

Scott Satterfield proved his mettle as an all-Southern Conference quarterback by ignoring the pressure on fourth down and slinging the ball to the end zone, where Ron Gilliam’s diving grab lifted Appalachian State to a 2824 victory and saved the Mountaineers’ perfect regular season. Unbeaten entering the final game of the regular season, the Mountaineers had plenty of confidence travelling to face the winless Bulldogs. But Appalachian needed everything it could muster, including the pass from Satterfield to Gilliam with 1:39 left in the contest for the comeback triumph. Satterfield who ran for 80 yards and passed for 176, had no problem sending the ball to Gilliam who was a converted defensive back with only four catches on the season.

OCTOBER 19, 1996 BACKUP QB LEADS APPS OVER EAGLES APPALACHIAN STATE 35, GEORGIA SOUTHERN 28

Backup signal-caller Bake Baker was called upon in the fourth quarter at Georgia Southern to create what head coach Jerry Moore dubbed a “spark.” A spark is what he got. With just over 10 minutes remaining in the contest, Baker took over and led the Mountaineers on three touchdown drives, allowing them to rally from a 14-point deficit. The Mountaineer offense was desperate for production and the defense was not much better, with five players sidelined with injuries. But in his 10-plus minutes of action, Baker converted three scoring drives, capped by a 68-yard pass to Otis Smith with 3:13 remaining in the game that provided the winning points. Baker ended the game 8-of-10 passing for 159 yards and two touchdowns. Prior to his showing in Statesboro, he had completed just three passes in his career.

But a 33-yard touchdown pass with just 38 seconds left to play gave perennial-power Auburn a narrow 22-15 win over the Mountaineers before 78,123 at Jordan-Hare Stadium. After Auburn took a 7-0 lead less than seven minutes in, Appalachian responded with 15-straight points to take an eight-point advantage deep into the third quarter.

The triumph was Appalachian’s second ever over a top-ranked team, almost five years to the day after it knocked off No. 1 Marshall at KBS.

Weslan Hunter returned a fumble 43 yards for a score and Luke Manuel fell on another Eagle cough-up and the Apps took the seeminlgy comfortable 17-point lead with less than five minutes to play in the third quarter.

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

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

On his first play, Elder connected with Dexter Jackson for a 45-yard touchdown pass that gave the Mountaineers a 14-0 lead. However, Furman scored 23 of the next 30 points to take a 23-21 lead into halftime. The Paladins’ slim advantage stood up until Elder led the Apps on an 11-play, 67-yard drive, culminating with his one-yard touchdown plunge with just over two minutes to go. Led by quarterback Ingle Martin, the Paladins drove inside the Mountaineer 40 with under a minute to play. But, on first-and-10 at the 36, App State defensive end Jason Hunter hit Martin from behind, forcing the ball loose, which defensive tackle Omarr Byrom picked up and returned all the way to the Furman one yard line to stamp Appalachian’s ticket to its first-ever national championship game.

EPIC 4TH-QUARTER RALLY LIFTS MOUNTAINEERS OVER UTC appalachian STATE 42, CHATTANOOGA 41

Appalachian State came back from a pair of 21-point deficits to rally for a heart-stopping 42-41 victory at upstart Chattanooga in the 2010 season opener. 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. 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 win 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.

Jacque Roman forced the Jamal Sullivan fumble with less than a minute remaining that sealed the Apps’ 28-27 victory in the opening round of the 2007 NCAA playoffs.

The Mountaineers were trailing 9-7 in the fourth quarter after three Furman field goals and an interception return for a touchdown by the home side. With 5:39 left, Joey Hoover’s 24-yard TD catch from Joe Burchette gave Appalachian its first lead of the game, at 14-9.

HISTORY AND TRADITIONS

OCTOBER 12, 2002

Furman took the ensuing possession and marched 73 yards on 13 plays, converting a first down on third-and-18 and then retook the lead on third-and-goal from the Appalachian 12 with 0:07 remaining when Billy Napier found Bear Rinehart for the go-ahead touchdown. 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 right 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.

Rogers tackled Black in a celebratory hug in the end zone. The Mountaineers cleared the sideline to join the celebration.

2014 APPALACHIAN STATE FOOTBALL HISTORY AND TRADITIONS

KIDD BREWER STADIUM

WELCOME TO THE ROCK KIDD BREWER STADIUM • ELEVATION: 3,333 FT.

APP STATE HOME RECORD • 2003-13:

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-

67-12

foot Appalachian Athletics Center. The Appalachian Athletics Center, which was officially unveiled on Sept. 12, 2009 when the Mountaineers hosted McNeese State, houses state-of-the-art strength and conditioning, athletic training and academic facilities that benefit all 20 of Appalachian State’s varsity sports, as well as extensive locker rooms, meeting space and offices for App State football 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. 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.

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. Going into its 54th season in the venerable stadium, Appalachian State boasts a 221-70-5 all-time record at Kidd Brewer Stadium, including wins in 67 of its last 79 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, nearly 1.5 million fans have passed through the KBS turnstiles with attendance surpassing the stadium’s official seating capacity for 51 of the last 52 regular-season games going into the 2014 campaign. Since 2005, the average attendance for a regular-season game at Kidd Brewer Stadium has been 26,562, a mark that comes in at 132 percent of the stadium’s average official seating capacity during that time. Appalachian State led NCAA Division I FCS in regular-season attendance in each of its final seven seasons in the FCS ranks. 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 three separate expansion projects in the last six years have upped the number of seats to 23,150. Officially opened on September 15, 1962 as Conrad Stadium, in honor of former University trustee and R.J.

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 App State began drawing crowds in excess of 20,000 on a regular basis.

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.

The most extensive renovations in Conrad/Kidd Brewer Stadium history were completed in 2009

2014 APPALACHIAN STATE FOOTBALL HISTORY AND TRADITIONS

OLD MOUNTAIN JUG

The Old Mountain Jug is the traveling trophy that

was awarded to the winner of the annual football clash between longtime rivals Appalachian State and Western Carolina from 1976-2013.

Appalachian State and Western

Carolina met 77 times on the gridiron between 1933-2013. The 2014 season marks the first since 1945 that App State and Western will not square off, as the Mountaineers begin play in the NCAA Division I FBS while WCU remains in the NCAA Division I FCS Southern Conference.

Appalachian dominated the rivalry

for much of its duration and holds a 58-18-1 all-time advantage in the series. However, in 1976, the annual matchup 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 State 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.

The Old Mountain Jug has spent vast majority of its existence in Boone, as

Appalachian State has won 31 of the 38 games with the Jug on the line.

After winning four of the first five battles for the Jug, App State 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 went on win each of the final nine Southern Conference tilts between the two schools. Highlighting the Mountaineers’ most nine-game winning streak over the Catamounts are the three biggest margins of victory since the inception of the Jug in 1976 — a 35-7 rout in 2005, a 79-35 shellacking in 2007 and a 46-14 blowout in 2011 (all three coming in Boone).

In the final scheduled matchup between the two programs, App State hammered

Western Carolina, 48-27, on Nov. 23, 2013 at Kidd Brewer Stadium, ensuring that the Old Mountain Jug would continue to reside in Boone for the foreseeable future.

2014 APPALACHIAN STATE FOOTBALL

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 a bookstore staff member generating 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 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 establish a lineage of male undergraduates portraying a bearded man with coveralls, a pipe and a straw hat. The addition of a musket and a black-and-gold pick-up truck called the “Yosef Mobile” came along through the generations of Yosef. 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. The Yosef mascot has undergone several overhauls over the past three decades, including one this offseason that gives the top Mountaineer a fresh new look as Appalachian State begins a new era in the Sun Belt Conference. Responsible for providing school spirit, Yosef is a officially member of Appalachian State’s cheerleading squad. He was an integal part of App State’s 1986 and 1989 UCA Division I and 2008 Speed Squad, Inc. Large Squad national championships. Yosef goes to mascot instructional camp with the Mountaineers’ cheerleaders each summer. Yosef is also a fixture at community gatherings away from campus, including parades, school assemblies and private events. To request an appearance by Yosef at your event, contact Appalachian State sports marketing at (828) 262-6654.

YOSEF THROUGH THE YEARS

1942 The Rhododendron staff created Dan’l Boone Yoseff from Appalachian, Appalachian’s first mascot.

1983-84 A committee comprised of Appalachian students, faculty and staff developed the first costumed Yosef.

1949 A lineage of bearded male Appalachian undergraduates donning coveralls, a pipe and a straw hat began portaying Yosef.

2001 “Touchdown Yosef” became a permanent part of the campus landscape when the statue donated by Irwin and Carol Belk was erected at the corner of Stadium Drive and Rivers Street.

The newest incarnation of Yosef was unveiled on July 1, 2014 in conjunction with Appalachian State’s first official day in the Sun Belt Conference and NCAA Division I FBS.

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 sustainable technology and the health sciences. Consistently ranked among U.S. News and World Report’s best public universities in the Southeast, Appalachian is also noted as a “best value” by Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine and other publications. Appalachian’s 410-acre main campus includes 22 academic buildings, a 210,000-square-foot library, 19 residence halls, three dining facilities and 11 recreational and athletic facilities. Appalachian also operates a living-learning center in New York City and off-campus programs in 10 counties through collaboration with area community colleges.

Appalachian 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.

Athletics excellence More than 450 student-athletes compete in 20 NCAA Division I varsity sports at Appalachian State University, 10 for men and 10 for women. Appalachian was a dominant force in the Southern Conference for more than 40 years before joining the Sun Belt Conference in July 2014 – one of 10 conferences that are members of the Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). Nearly half of Appalachian’s student-athletes typically earned inclusion on the Southern Conference Academic Honor Roll, which requires a 3.0 grade-point average or higher while completing at least 24 hours in two semesters. SoCon success Before joining the Sun Belt Conference in July 2014, the Mountaineers won 34 Southern Conference Commissioner’s cups for overall excellence in men’s athletics, with 2013-14 being its ninth-straight year to win. No other school claimed the Commissioner’s Cup more than five times since it was first awarded in 1970. While in the Southern Conference, the Mountaineers earned league titles in football, men’s and women’s basketball, volleyball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track, wrestling, baseball, men’s soccer, softball and men’s tennis. In football, the Mountaineers won three consecutive NCAA Division I FCS national championship titles in 2005, 2006 and 2007. • 96 – number of student-athletes earning Academic all-Conference honors • 42% – percentage of Appalachian student-athletes earning a place on the department’s Honor Roll, with a minimum GPA of 3.25 • 3.03 – student-athletes’ overall cumulative GPA following the conclusion of the 2013-14 academic year • 13 of 20 – the number of varsity programs at Appalachian with multi-year APR scores that exceeded the national averages for their respective sports (beginning with the 2009-10 acadmic year and ending in 2012-13) 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,” U.S. News and World Report’s “10 Best Places to Retire in the U.S.” and SafeWise.com’s “50 Safest Cities in North Carolina.” 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.
