city, the “Big Easy” of New Orleans, and a plethora of standouts returning for this season, the league is poised for another successful hoops season. Baseball and softball continue to put the league in the national spotlight during the spring season, with deep runs into postseason play and high visibility in the national polls becoming a tradition. UL Lafayette’s baseball team was the nation’s No. 1 team in the final third of the 2014 season and has reached the NCAA Super Regional round each of the past two years, while the UL Lafayette softball team has advanced to the Super Regional three straight years including a trip to the 2014 College World Series. Many league sports have made statements on the national level, and that is a tribute to the university and athletic administrators that serve both the league institutions and the student-athletes at each school. That this level of success comes at a time of sweeping change in collegiate athletics adds even more to these accomplishments. With those changes, opportunities for student-athletes to succeed both on and off the field have never been greater, and the Sun Belt is well positioned in the areas of scholarship, student welfare and academic success. During the 2014-15 academic year alone, Sun Belt member institutions awarded nearly $50 million in scholarship funds to over 3,084 student-athletes while also contributing over $2 million from the Student Assistance Fund (SAF) to over 1,779 student-athletes. The league and its institutions rewrite the Sun Belt’s record book each year in grade-point averages and academic honors, and member schools’ success in the NCAA’s APR rankings provide even more proof of the league’s academic commitment. In 2015, the conference doubled the number of teams that received NCAA Public Recognition Awards, given to teams that post APR scores in the top 10 percent of their sport, as 14 teams were among the national honorees compared to seven in 2014. “We have never been as strong as we are now academically and financially, and I believe we are getting stronger all the time athletically,” said former Sun Belt Conference president and Troy University chancellor Dr. Jack Hawkins, Jr. recently. “I truly believe the best is yet to come.” The strength of any league lies in its membership, with the Sun Belt’s 11-school football membership including Appalachian State, Arkansas State, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, Idaho, UL Lafayette, UL Monroe, New Mexico State, South Alabama, Texas State and Troy. Little Rock and UT Arlington compete in all sports as non-football members while Idaho and New Mexico State are football-only members. Those members give the Sun Belt a mix of the “old” and the “new”, with many long-time Sun Belt institutions continuing to have success and a solid corps of conference newcomers ready to make their marks on the league and national levels. The varied campuses and locations reflect another league strength – its diversity. The mix of regions and regional cultures provide a rare opportunity for the league’s student-athletes to experience many environments. But those same student-athletes can also experience that without leaving their own campuses. For every All-Pro linebacker DeMacus Ware (Troy) and Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Charles Tillman (UL Lafayette), and for every World Series MVP David Freese (South Alabama) coming from Sun Belt campuses, there are also U.S. presidents (Lyndon Johnson, Texas State), business icons (Chick-fil-a president Daniel Cathy, Georgia Southern), nationally-known entertainers (Tim McGraw, UL Monroe, and Ludacris, Georgia State), and there is royalty (Miss America Debbye Turner, Arkansas State). These proud alumni, as well as the thousands of student-athletes and staff members at all of its institutions, are proof that the Sun Belt Conference continues to gain stature and provide the promise of future success with Sun Belt Conference every sunrise. “Together We Rise” has never Commissioner been more appropriate. Karl Benson

INTRODUCTION

Is the Sun Belt Conference a modern-day fixture among the decision-makers in the ever-changing world of college athletics? Or is the league a long-time innovator, responsible for advancements in many sports that we now take for granted? Is the Sun Belt home of an alumni base that includes national and international leaders in the areas of government, business and entertainment as well as athletics? Or is the conference one that has established itself as a national contender in a variety of sports, and one that continues to evolve in ways that directly benefit its institutions and more importantly its student-athletes? The answer is yes, yes, yes and yes. The Sun Belt Conference’s “Together We Rise” motto isn’t just hyperbole. It’s proven fact on many different levels, not the least being its place in the hierarchy of collegiate athletics. As the league prepares to celebrate four decades since its founding in 1976, the Sun Belt occupies a “seat at the table” as a permanent part of the NCAA’s 24-member Board of Directors. That alone insures that the conference has a voice in determining the future as college sports continues to change and evolve. Changing and evolving have been hallmarks of the league since its existence. College basketball might be a shadow of its current self had the Sun Belt not led the way in the establishment of the shot clock. The conference also wrote history at the start of the century when it inaugurated football as a league sport – becoming the first already-existing Division I conference to take such action. The Sun Belt was originally founded to give home to some of the nation’s premier mid-major basketball teams, and the league’s history is dotted with success in many different men’s and women’s sports through its history. But when the desire for a higher national profile and the desire of its membership brought about football sponsorship in 2001, the conference was figuratively reborn, and now stands as one of the 10 premier college football leagues in the country. And, with the recent debut of the College Football Playoff, the Sun Belt is guaranteed universal access based strictly on performance. A worthy football team in the Sun Belt can be in the national championship picture, and the league is a permanent part of the “Group of Five” conferences (joining the American Athletic Conference, the Mountain West Conference, the Mid-American Conference and Conference USA) that will send its highest-rated champion to a premier Jan. 1 bowl game. In only 15 years of football, the Sun Belt has earned ties to no fewer than seven bowl games. In addition to the potential of the College Football Playoff, the league has guaranteed spots in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, the GoDaddy Bowl, the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl and the new Cure Bowl for bowl-eligible teams each and every season. Beginning in 2016, the Sun Belt will also be part of a conference rotation that will send teams to the Popeyes Bahamas Bowl and the Miami Beach Bowl. No football conference in history has ever boasted as many bowl relationships in its first two decades of existence, but such breakthroughs have been the rule rather than the exception for a league that continues to exceed expectations. Just in the last three seasons, league members have recorded 52 non-conference wins including a record 21 victories outside the league in 2013. The Sun Belt also has a winning record over its fellow “Group of Five” conferences over the past two seasons, and has claimed three bowl victories in those two years. Gridiron success has grown in the league for several years, but success can also happen overnight. New league member Georgia Southern claimed the Sun Belt football title in its first year in the conference last fall. Appalachian State, another league newbie, rattled off six consecutive wins to close the 2014 football season and finish with a winning 7-5 record. Texas State has finished its two football seasons in in the conference as a bowl eligible team, going 6-6 in its inaugural Sun Belt campaign and then 7-5 this past season. Football, though, is by no means the only hallmark of success for the league. Just this past season, Georgia State knocked off third-seeded Baylor in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament and Little Rock defeated sixth-seeded Texas A&M in the women’s NCAA tournament . With the league’s postseason tournaments headed back to the conference’s home

SCOTT SATTERFIELD HEAD COACH THIRD SEASON ALMA MATER: APPALACHIAN STATE, 1996

COACHES AND STAFF

2015

APPALACHIAN STATE FOOTBALL HEAD COACH SCOTT SATTERFIELD

Scott Satterfield has enjoyed success at every stop of his 22-year playing and coaching career, most notably in his 19 years at Appalachian State University. In 19 seasons as an Appalachian State player (1991-95) and assistant coach (1998-2008, 2012), he helped lead the Mountaineers to three NCAA Division I FCS national titles, eight conference championships and played a large role in virtually re-writing the program’s offensive record book. Now in his third season as the head coach at his alma mater, he has Appalachian poised to make its first-ever Division I bowl appearance. Last season was perhaps Satterfield’s most successful as a player or coach, as he led Appalachian State to an impressive 7-5 record in its first full season at the NCAA Division I FBS ranks. The 7-5 mark in 2014 included a six-game winning streak to close the season, all in Sun Belt Conference play. The six-straight victories lifted the Mountaineers to a 6-2 Sun Belt record, good for an impressive third-place finish in their first season in the ultra-competitive league. Despite fielding only two senior starters, Appalachian State excelled on both sides of the ball in 2014, ranking among the Sun Belt’s top three teams in 14 of the league’s 33 official statistical categories. Most notably, the Mountaineers led the Sun Belt in total defense by allowing just 347.5 yards per game, a mark that was 53 yards per game less than they allowed in their final FCS campaign in 2013. The Mountaineers also ranked third in the conference in scoring offense (35.7 points per game) and ranked second in both rushing offense (241.8 ypg) and rushing defense (152.3 ypg). www.APPSTATESPORTS.com • @APPSTATESPORTS

Eleven of Satterfield’s Mountaineers earned all-Sun Belt recognition in their first year in the conference, highlighted by first-team honorees Kendall Lamm and Doug Middleton and Sun Belt Freshman of the Year Taylor Lamb. Lamb became the second Mountaineer in Satterfield’s two seasons as head coach to be named conference freshman of the year. Running back Marcus Cox, the Southern Conference Freshman of the Year in 2013, was a second-team all-Sun Belt honoree as a sophomore in 2014. Cox has rushed for 2,665 yards in just two seasons in Satterfield’s high-powered spread offense, putting him on pace to become Appalachian State’s all-time leading rusher by the time he closes out his collegiate career. The program showed signs of promise in Satterfield’s first season at the helm in 2013, despite posting an un-Appalachian State-like 4-8 record. 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. Satterfield was named Appalachian State’s 20th head coach on Dec. 14, 2012. He is only the sixth Appalachian alumnus to ever 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 (196570).

Coach Satt, as he is known by his players, has spent 19 of the last 24 years at Appalachian State as a student-athlete and coach. 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 www.PLAYATTHEROCK.com • @APPSTATE_FB

(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 and his wife, Beth, a former trackand-field student-athlete at Appalachian, reside in Boone and have three children — sons, Bryce and Isaac, and daughter, Alli.

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 Mountaineers’ wide receivers (1998), running backs (1999-2002) and quarterbacks (2003-08). He was an integral part of Appalachian’s transition from a power-I to a spread offense in 2004 and the five record-setting offensive campaigns that followed. With Satterfield serving as the Mountaineers’ primary play-caller, Appalachian ranked among the nation’s top 20 in the five major offensive statistical categories

APPALACHIAN STATE FOOTBALL ASSISTANT COACHES NATE WOODY DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR/OUTSIDE LBs THIRD SEASON AT APPALACHIAN STATE 25th SEASON OVERALL ALMA MATER: WOFFORD, 1984 Nate Woody is in his third season as Appalachian State’s defensive coordinator and his second year coaching the Mountaineers’ outside linebackers. In just two seasons, Woody has overseen the transformation of a defense that ranked eighth out of nine teams in the NCAA Division I FCS Southern Conference in total defense the year prior to his arrival (2012) to the topranked unit in the Division I FBS Sun Belt Conference in 2014. Woody’s top-ranked defense yielded just 347.5 yards per game in 2014, 25.7 less than the Sun Belt’s No. 2 defense (UL Monroe - 373.2 ypg) and good for 25th nationally. Despite having only one senior starter, Woody’s 3-4 unit was particularly impressive in its first go-around in Sun Belt play. The Mountaineers surrendered just 335.6 yards per game in conference action and an ultra-impressive 267.8 yards per contest during the Mountaineers’ six-game winning streak to close the season (all against league foes). Individually, outside linebacker Kennan Gilchrist earned honorable-mention all-Sun Belt recognition during Woody’s first season leading the unit and freshman Devan Stringer was one of the Sun Belt’s most impressive rookies with 34 tackles and two sacks in just 10 games (seven starts). 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, half of the Mountaineers’ inside-linebacking crew received postseason accolades in 2013, 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 Woody’s direction, 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.

DWAYNE LEDFORD CO-OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR/OFF. LINE FOURTH SEASON AT APPALACHIAN STATE NINTH SEASON OVERALL ALMA MATER: EAST CAROLINA, 1999 Dwayne Ledford is in his fourth year as Appalachian State’s offensive line coach and his third as the Mountaineers’ co-offensive coordinator for the running game. Despite having only one senior starter in three seasons and being forced to insert 13 different freshmen and sophomores in the lineup during his tenure at Appalachian State, the Mountaineers have excelled in the trenches since Ledford’s arrival in 2012. Most notably, while protecting quarterbacks that have averaged nearly 36 dropbacks per game, the Mountaineers have surrendered only one-and-a-half sacks per contest during Ledford’s threeyear tenure. In 2014, Appalachian State’s offensive front and running game were the catalysts for an unlikely run to a 7-5 overall record and 6-2 mark in Sun Belt Conference play in the Mountaineers’ first season in the Sun Belt and NCAA Division I FBS. Appalachian ranked second in the Sun Belt and 18th in FBS with 241.8 rushing yards per game in 2014 and ranked third in the Sun Belt and tied for sixth nationally with 0.92 sacks allowed per game. The Mountaineers’ 46 yards surrendered on sacks were the second-fewest in the nation, behind only run-happy Sun Belt foe Georgia Southern. Three of Ledford’s offensive linemen garnered postseason recognition from the Sun Belt in 2014 with senior left tackle Kendall Lamm earning first-team all-conference honors, sophomore left guard Parker Collins being named honorable-mention all-Sun Belt and right tackle Beau Nunn representing App State on the league’s all-freshman squad. The only senior starter that Ledford coached in his first three seasons at Appalachian State, Lamm went on to sign a rookie free-agent contract with the Houston Texans immediately following the conclusion of the 2015 National Football League Draft in May. Another one of Ledford’s pupils, Will Corbin, signed a free-agent deal with the Indianapolis Colts. Last season’s success was no surprise, as Appalachian’s running game has excelled since Ledford’s arrival in 2012. In Ledford’s first season as Appalachian’s offensive line coach (2012), the Mountaineers rushed for 170.3 yards per game, surging from 55th to 39th in the NCAA Division I FCS rankings in the span of just one year. Ledford’s two seasons as co-offensive coordinator for the running game have seen running back Marcus Cox emerge as one of the nation’s top rushers. As a true freshman in 2013, Cox rushed for an Appalachian State freshman-record 1,250 rushing yards and, as a sophomore in 2014, he put himself on pace to become the program’s all-time leading rusher with 1,415 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

FRANK PONCE CO-OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR/QBs THIRD SEASON AT APPALACHIAN STATE NINTH SEASON OVERALL ALMA MATER: FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL, 1997 Frank Ponce is in his third season as Appalachian State’s co-offensive coordinator for the passing game and quarterbacks coach. Inexperienced quarterbacks have flourished under Ponce in his first two seasons at Appalachian State. In 2014, Ponce handed the reins at quarterback over to freshman Taylor Lamb just three games into the season. Under Ponce’s tutelage, Lamb led the Sun Belt Conference and ranked third among all freshmen in NCAA Division I FBS with a 142.1 pass-efficiency rating. He also set Appalachian State records for passing yards (2,381) and touchdown passes (17) by a freshman en route to being named the Sun Belt Freshman of the Year. As a team, Ponce’s aerial attack ranked third in the Sun Belt in passing efficiency (139.4) and the squad’s 21 touchdown passes ranked fourth in the league in 2014. In his first season at Appalachian State (2-13), 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 yet 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 214 passes for 3,289 yards and 19 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’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. Ponce has two children: Frankie Jr. and Isabel.

COACHES AND STAFF

(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 H.S. 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.

BRYAN BROWN CORNERBACKS FOURTH SEASON AT APPALACHIAN STATE EIGHTH SEASON OVERALL ALMA MATER: OLE MISS, 2006 Bryan Brown is in his fourth season as Appalachian State’s cornerbacks coach. In just three seasons at Appalachian State, Brown’s cornerbacks have combined to intercept 15 passes, including six in 2014 alone. Additionally, one of Brown’s pupils has ranked among the conference’s top 10 in interceptions during each season of his tenure. Most recently, Joel Ross tied for eighth in the Sun Belt Conference with three interceptions during the Mountaineers’ first campaign in the league in 2014. Also under Brown’s tutelage, Demetrius McCray led the Southern Conference with four interceptions in 2012. Both McCray and Ross have gone on to join the National Football League, McCray as a seventh-round draft pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2013 and Ross as a free agent with the Dallas Cowboys in May. 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 Statesmen’s cornerbacks. A native of Corinth, Miss., Brown was a four-year letterwinner as a defensive back at Ole Miss from 2003-06. He made 70 tackles in his four-year career and returned one interception for a touchdown while also returning kickoffs and punts. Brown earned a B.A. in sociology from Ole Miss in 2006. He and his wife, Courtney, have a daughter, Elle, and a son, Bryson.

MARK IVEY DEFENSIVE LINE/SPECIAL TEAMS FOURTH SEASON AT APPALACHIAN STATE FOURTH SEASON OVERALL ALMA MATER: APPALACHIAN STATE, 1996 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 second year as Appalachian’s defensive line coach. He also coordinates the Mountaineers’ special teams. In his first season as defensive line coach, Ivey’s defensive linemen combined for 15.5 sacks and 34 tackles for loss in 2014. Ronald Blair, who missed all but two games the previous season due to injury, flourished under Ivey’s tutelage, ranking among the Sun Belt Conference’s top 10 with six sacks and 13 tackles for loss en route to second-team all-conference honors. In 2013, three of Ivey’s outside linebackers ranked among Appalachian State’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. 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

tion under Jones’ tutelage when he was named a second-team all-Sun Belt honoree in 2014. Twelve players that Jones has coached at Appalachian State have gone on to play in the National Football League. During Jones’ three-year tenure as Appalachian State’s defensive coordinator, the Mountaineers 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). 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, where he served as defensive coordinator for four seasons. One of 13 children in his family (six brothers and six sisters), Jones has a daughter, Brooke.

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.

DALE JONES INSIDE LINEBACKERS 20th SEASON AT APPALACHIAN STATE 26th SEASON OVERALL ALMA MATER: TENNESSEE, 1988 Dale Jones is in his 20th season at Appalachian State. Jones, who has served stints as defensive and special-teams coordinator and defensive-line and linebackers coach during his nearly two decades at App State, is the Mountaineers’ inside linebackers coach for the second-straight season in 2015. Appalachian State’s longest-tenured coach, Jones came to Appalachian in 1996. He served as the team’s defensive line coach and special-teams coordinator for his first nine seasons with the program (1996-2004). In 2005, he began an eight-year stint as the Mountaineers’ linebackers coach and was also the program’s defensive coordinator for three seasons (2010-12).

APPALACHIAN STATE FOOTBALL ASSISTANT COACHES SCOT SLOAN SECONDARY/RECRUITING COORDINATOR SIXTH SEASON AT APPALACHIAN STATE 20th SEASON OVERALL ALMA MATER: CLEMSON, 1992 A 20-year college coaching veteran, Scot Sloan is in his sixth season as Appalachian State’s secondary coach. Sloan has also served as Appalachian’s recruiting coordinator since 2012. In his five seasons at Appalachian State, Sloan has mentored two NCAA Division I FCS all-Americans (Mark LeGree in 2010 and Demetrius McCray in 2011) and seven all-conference honorees. Last season, Sloan’s secondary played a big part in Appalachian State’s defense being the top-ranked unit in the Sun Belt Conference. Appalachian defensive backs combined for 10 of the Mountaineers’ 12 interceptions in 2014 with safety Doug Middleton leading the squad and tying for third in the conference with four interceptions. Middleton also ranked fifth in the Sun Belt with 10 passes defended and 25th in the league with 6.2 tackles per game (74 total), en route to earning first-team all-conference accolades in the Mountaineers’ first year in the Sun Belt. In Sloan’s first season with the Mountaineers (2010), his defensive backfield was a catalyst to App State ranking among the nation’s top 30 FCS 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). In all, Sloan has coached two National Football League Draft picks (LeGree and McCray) in his five seasons at Appalachian. As the program’s recruiting coordinator, Sloan has helped nail down four 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., culminating with him serving as the program’s head coach in 2009. During his threeyear 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 (200809). Prior to his stint at Riverside, Sloan was the defensive coordinator at Griffin (Ga.) H.S. in 2006, where his squad posted an 11-1 record and advanced to the second round of the Georgia state playoffs. Before spending four years in the high-school ranks, Sloan was a successful 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.

JUSTIN WATTS WIDE RECEIVERS FIRST SEASON AT APPALACHIAN STATE 20th SEASON OVERALL ALMA MATER: CLEMSON, 1992 Justin Watts, a 14-year Division I coaching veteran, is in his first season as Appalachian State’s wide receivers coach. Watts comes to Appalachian State from Middle Tennessee, where he served as wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator for the past nine seasons (2006-14). During his time at Middle Tennessee, he helped lead the Blue Raiders to four bowl berths, three eight-win seasons and a Sun Belt Conference championship (2006). Known at Middle Tennessee for developing deep corps of wideouts, Watts coached 29 different receivers that caught 25 passes or more in a season during his nine-year tenure in Murfreesboro. Four of his pupils rank in the top seven in Middle Tennessee history in career receptions and four are among the program’s all-time top 10 in career yardage. As Middle Tennessee’s recruiting coordinator, Watts consistently led the efforts to land classes that ranked among the best in the Sun Belt and Conference USA. Most recently, the Blue Raiders’ 2014 recruiting class ranked third in C-USA, according to Rivals.com. Watts began his coaching career with two seasons as a graduate assistant at his alma mater, Clemson (2001-02). During his stint as a G.A., he helped lead the Tigers to a pair of bowl berths. He landed his first full-time coaching position at Appalachian State’s former Southern Conference rival, Chattanooga, where he coached the Mocs’ wide receivers for three seasons (2003-05). At UTC, he coached NCAA Division I FCS all-American Alonzo Nix, who set a single-season SoCon record with 90 receptions in 2003, and all-conference performer Emanuel Hassell, who led the league with 52 catches in 2005. In Watts’ final season at Chattanooga, the Mocs recorded their first winning season in eight years. Watts owns the distinction of being one of only two student-athletes to ever be a five-year football letterwinner at Clemson, a feat that he accomplished as a wide receiver from 1996-2000 (he received a medical redshirt after sustaining a season-ending injury during the 1997 campaign). He caught 51 passes for 561 yards during his career and was honored as a scholar-athlete at the 1999 Peach Bowl awards luncheon. The Tigers earned bowl berths during four of his five seasons on the squad. A Florence, S.C. native, Watts amassed 7,979 yards of total offense and accounted for 74 touchdowns as a prep quarterback at South Florence H.S. He received a B.S. in sports management from Clemson in 2000. Watts and his wife, Lauren, have a son, Chase, and a daughter, Kendall.

A&T traveled 50-plus yards, including a 61-yarder ... named SoCon Special Teams Player of the Week following the performance against A&T ... named National Special Teams Player of the Week by USA College Football after averaging 54.9 yards over nine punts against Samford ... set a school record against SU with eight of his punts traveling 50 yards or more, including a season-best 63-yarder ... the previous school record of seven 50-yard punts in a game stood for 22 years (Harold Alexander vs. Marshall in 1991) ... the eight punts of 50-plus yards are more than any player in FBS history (record: 7 by Colorado’s Mark Mariscal vs. USC in 2002), however, the www.APPSTATESPORTS.com • @APPSTATESPORTS

NCAA does not keep such a record for FCS so it is unknown if Critcher’s mark set an FCS or all-Division I record ... the 54.9-yard average against Samford is good for fourth in Appalachian State single-game history and is the highest ever by a Mountaineer that punted as many as nine times in a game ... four of his nine punts against SU were also downed inside the 20 yard line ... boomed a 61-yard punt in rout over No. 24-ranked Georgia Southern ... only punt in win at No. 24 Wofford traveled 50 yards and was downed inside the 20 yard line ... averaged 52.0 yards per punt in season finale against Western Carolina with two that traveled 50-plus yards (including a 62-yarder) and one that was downed inside the 20.

1 2 3 4 F 0 0 7 7 — 14 14 21 14 3 — 52

ATTENDANCE: 106,811 ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan broke open a 14-0 ballgame with three touchdowns in the final four minutes of the first half and went on to avenge its 2007 loss to Appalachian State University football with a 52-14 win over the Mountaineers at Michigan Stadium. Appalachian State (0-1) remained within striking distance for most of the first half but Michigan’s three touchdowns over a 3:11 span in the waning minutes before halftime squelched any hopes of the Mountaineers replicating their historic victory over the No. 5-ranked Wolverines seven season openers ago. Michigan’s three-touchdown spurt was sparked by stopping true freshman Jaylan Barbour just short of a first down on third-and-seven from the Appalachian State 30 yard line more than halfway through the second quarter. On fourth-and-inches from the 37, App State was forced to punt after failing to get a play off and calling timeout. On the first play after the punt, Michigan’s Derrick Green rushed 59 yards to the Appalachian State 23 and two plays later, Devin Funchess caught his third touchdown pass of the first half from Devin Gardner and U-M stretched the lead to 21-0. The Mountaineers were forced to punt again on their ensuing possession and Michigan needed just two plays — 61 and 12 yard runs by De’Veon Smith — to make it 28-0 with 1:26 to go in the half. Just 38 seconds later, U-M’s Mike McCray got a hand on a punt by Bentlee Critcher and Ben Gideon returned the block 32 yards for a touchdown that gave the Wolverines a 35-0 halftime lead. After being limited to just 74 yards and no points in the first half, Appalachian State put together a pair of long touchdown drives after the break. Midway through the third quarter, starting quarterback Kameron Bryant engineered an 11-play, 75-yard drive that was capped by an acrobatic eight-yard touchdown catch by Simms McElfresh in the back of the end zone that got the Mountaineers on the board. In the final period, redshirt freshman Taylor Lamb led an impressive 19-play, 96-yard drive that culminated with a one-yard touchdown run by Marcus Cox. However, the story of the game offensively for Appalachian State was redshirt freshman running back Terrence Upshaw, who rushed for 109 yards on 18 carries (6.1 avg.) in his collegiate debut. Cox, who did not start after missing much of the last two weeks of practice due to a lower-body injury, picked up 47 yards on 11 rushes (4.3 avg.). McElfresh led the Mountaineers with five receptions while Barbour tallied a team-high 40 receiving yards. Michigan was paced by Funchess, who had game highs with seven receptions and 95 receiving yards — including touchdown catches of nine, 34 and eight yards. In the process, he became the first Wolverine to ever haul in three touchdown receptions in a season opener. Green (170) and Smith (115) both rushed for 100 yards for Michigan while Gardner completed 13-of-14 passes for 173 yards. In all, the Wolverines doubled the Mountaineers up in terms of total yardage (560-280). NOTES: Appalachian State safety Doug Middleton led all tacklers with eight ... App State was 0-for-9 on third downs before McElfresh’s touchdown catch on third-and-goal midway through the third quarter ... the Mountaineers finished 5-of-17 on third downs while Michigan was 5-of-8 ... Appalachian fell to 3-9 in its last 12 season openers (all 12 have been played on the road) ... the Sun Belt Conference fell to 2-22 all-time versus Big Ten opponents ... the game was Michigan’s first ever against a Sun Belt member.

OFFICIAL 2014 PROGRAM VS.

TODAY’S SPONSORS

BOONE. N.C. — Simms McElfresh, Marcus Cox and Ricky Fergerson each scored two touchdowns and Appalachian State University football opened the home portion of its 2014 schedule with its largest win in 73 years, a 66-0 triumph over Campbell at Kidd Brewer Stadium. Appalachian State’s 66-point margin of victory was the fourth-largest in school history and the largest since the Mountaineers blanked Arkansas-Monticello, 67-0, on Sept. 27, 1941. Appalachian’s 66 points were the seventh-most in program history and its most since it hammered Wofford, 70-24, on Oct. 31, 2008. App State (1-1) led 10-0 after one quarter but scored five touchdowns in the second period to grab a commanding 45-0 halftime lead. The Mountaineers’ 35-point second quarter included a stretch of three touchdowns in 3:41 and four scores in 7:43 and was highlighted by a 52-yard interception return by Doug Middleton. A severe storm that passed through the Boone area near the end of halftime delayed the start of the second half by 52 minutes but the Mountaineers found the end zone three times in their first five possessions after the break to close out the rout. Appalachian State outgained Campbell (0-2), 538-95, and forced four turnovers in its first shutout since in blanked Mars Hill, 41-0, on Sept. 16, 2006. Cox led the Mountaineers’ offensive outburst by rushing for 114 yards and two touchdowns (both from two yards out) on 20 carries. The 100-yard game was the seventh in 11 career starts for the sophomore Doak Walker Award candidate, who did not start last Saturday’s season opener at Michigan after missing much of preseason camp with a lower-body injury. Cox’s effort was augmented by three Mountaineers who averaged at least six yards a rush — quarterback Taylor Lamb, who ran for 68 yards on five carries (13.6 avg.), Fergerson, who had 48 yards and two scores (11 and seven yards) on eight carries (6.0 avg.) and Terrence Upshaw, who amassed 41 yards and a 10-yard touchdown on just four carries (10.2 avg.). Kameron Bryant led the way through the air, throwing for 149 yards and two touchdowns on 10-of-17 passing. Lamb added 94 yards and a touchdown on 5-of-10 passing. McElfresh led all receivers with five catches for 81 yards, including his touchdown receptions of 12 and 39 yards. Tight end Barrett Burns added 43 yards on two catches, including a 21-yard touchdown. Defensively, the Mountaineers racked up two sacks and seven tackles for loss in the shutout. Outside linebacker Rashaad Townes led the squad with seven tackles while Joel Ross and Stephen Machanic added interceptions to go along with Middleton’s. Thanks in large part to App State’s stout defensive effort, the Mountaineers’ offense had an average starting field position at its own 49 yard line. NOTES: Appalachian State moved to 62-20-2 (.750) all-time in home openers with its 12th win in its last 14 lidlifters at Kidd Brewer Stadium ... the Mountaineers moved to 2-0 all-time versus Campbell in the schools’ first gridiron meeting since Sept. 19, 1931 (a 20-6 Appalachian win) ... App State moved to 34-1 in its last 35 home games against in-state opponents ... the shutout was Appalachian’s 18th all-time in a home opener but its first since it blanked North Carolina A&T, 45-0, on Sept. 17, 1994 ... the Mountaineers’ 45 first-half points were the most that they scored in an opening half since they led Western Carolina, 45-21, at halftime of a 79-35 win on Nov. 10, 2007 ... Appalachian State avoided having consecutive 0-2 starts for the first time since 1992-93 and losing consecutive home openers for the first time since 1982-83 ... Appalachian committed its first turnover of the season late in the third quarter when Bryan was intercepted by Campbell’s Isaac Scott ... McElfresh’s two-touchdown game was the first of his career ... Fergerson’s touchdowns were the first of his career ... Upshaw’s touchdown run and Lamb’s touchdown pass were career firsts ... the attendance of 25,861 marked the 52nd time in its last 53 regular-season games that Appalachian State played in front of a crowd larger than the official seating capacity at Kidd Brewer Stadium (which is currently 23,150).

ATTENDANCE: 21,836 HATTIESBURG, Miss. — Taylor Lamb threw what appeared to be a game-tying two-yard touchdown pass to Simms McElfresh with six seconds to go but the ensuing extra point was blocked and Appalachian State University football suffered a heartbreaking 21-20 defeat at Southern Miss at M.M. Roberts Stadium. Lamb, who was making his first-career start, engineered two touchdown drives in the final eight minutes of the game, including a 12-play, 75-yarder that was capped by McElfresh’s over-the-shoulder catch in the back corner of the end zone that looked like it would send the contest to overtime. However, Southern Miss’ Dasman McCullum blocked the extra point to maintain the Golden Eagles’ one-point lead. Southern Miss (2-2) recovered the ensuing onside kick and knelt out the clock to escape with the victory. Appalachian State (1-2) dominated USM in most statistical categories, including total yards (455-329), rushing yards (191-61), first downs (29-16), third/fourth-down conversions (8-of-16 to 2-of-11) and time of possession (35:5124:09). However, the Mountaineers had three turnovers, came away with just three scores on five trips in the red zone, committed 11 penalties and, most glaringly, left 10 points on the field in the kicking game. In addition to the block extra point with six seconds to go, App State also missed all three of its field-goal attempts. Southern Miss jumped out to a 14-0 lead less than two minutes into the second quarter but Appalachian State’s defense limited the Golden Eagles to just 101 total yards and 2.9 yards per play over their next eight possessions. The Mountaineers forced six three-and-outs during the eight-series stretch. The dominant defensive performance allowed App State to get back into the game. The Mountaineers got on the board midway through the second quarter on a five-yard touchdown run by Marcus Cox and tied the game at 1414 with 5:08 to go in the game on a 10-yard pass from Lamb to Malachi Jones. However, following Jones’ game-tying touchdown catch, Southern Miss responded with a six-play, 65-yard drive and retook a 21-14 lead on George Payne’s third touchdown of the evening, a 31-yard reception from Nick Mullens, with 2:22 remaining. On the next series, Lamb needed just 2:16 to move the Mountaineers 75 yards for the would-be game-tying score. The final drive capped a terrific starting debut for Lamb. The redshirt freshman completed 28-of-40 passes for 264 yards and two touchdowns and ran eight times for 39 yards. McElfresh and Jones were Lamb’s favorite targets, as they both recorded seven receptions and a touchdown catch. McElfresh finished with 68 yards while Jones tallied 61. Cox ran for a game-high 119 yards on 22 carries (5.4 avg.). Appalachian State’s outstanding defensive performance was led by inside linebacker John Law, who recorded eight tackles, including 2.5 for loss and a sack. Safety Doug Middleton added seven stops and cornerback Joel Ross had two interceptions. NOTES: Appalachian State is 1-2 for the third-consecutive season ... the Mountaineers lost a regular-season game that immediately followed a bye for the first time since a 35-32 defeat at James Madison on Sept. 20, 2008 ... Appalachian had won four-straight regular-season games that immediately followed a bye ... Appalachian State missed three field goals in a game for the first time since it missed three in a 28-14 loss at Wofford on Oct. 1, 2011 ... the Mountaineers lost on a blocked PAT for the second time in their last 16 games ... App State lost in similar fashion when Illinois State blocked an extra point in overtime to hand the Mountaineers a 38-37 defeat in the second round of the 2012 NCAA Division I FCS playoffs ... Cox’s 100-yard rushing game was the eighth of his 15-game career ... Cox surpassed the 1,500-yard mark for his career in the first half ... in15 career games, the sophomore Doak Walker Award candidate has amassed 1,530 rushing yards (102 yards per game).

APPALACHIAN STATE FOOTBALL GAME 4 • SEPTEMBER 25 at GEORGIA SOUTHERN

ATTENDANCE: 24,535 STATESBORO, Ga. — Appalachian State University football’s red-zone struggles continued in a 34-14 loss to Georgia Southern at Paulson Stadium. Like in last Saturday’s 21-20 loss at Southern Miss, Appalachian State (1-3, 0-1 Sun Belt) squandered several scoring opportunities in Thursday’s defeat. The Mountaineers came away with points on just two of five trips into the red zone in their first-ever Sun Belt Conference game. After a disastrous start that put it in a 17-0 hole less than three minutes into the second quarter, Appalachian regrouped with a pair of long scoring drives to cut the deficit to 24-14 at halftime. Making the second start of his career, redshirt-freshman quarterback Taylor Lamb engineered a 12-play, 75-yard drive and put the Mountaineers on the board with a 19-yard touchdown run that made it 17-7 midway through the second period. Georgia Southern (3-2, 2-0 Sun Belt) stretched the lead to 24-7 with a little more than two minutes to go in the opening half but Lamb responded by marching the Mountaineers 74 yards in 1:55 to pull back within 10 points. A 27yard pass to Malachi Jones and a 25-yard pass to Simms McElfresh headlined the eight-play drive, which was capped by a one-yard touchdown dive by Marcus Cox that sent the Mountaineers to the locker room trailing just 24-14. The momentum carried over to the second half and Appalachian drove deep into Georgia Southern territory on the opening series after the break. However, the drive stalled when Georgia Southern defensive end Quaun Daniels made a first-down saving tackle on Lamb’s quarterback keeper on fourth-and-four from the nine yard line and the Mountaineers turned the ball over on downs. App State had another golden scoring opportunity on its very next series when Tucker Bell blocked a GS punt and the Mountaineers took over at the Eagles’ 30 yard line. Once again, Appalachian moved inside the Georgia Southern 10 but, once again, it came away empty when Lamb was intercepted at the one yard line by Nick Wright. For all intents and purposes, Georgia Southern put the game away when it milked 8:58 off the clock on its ensuing drive before settling for a 35-yard field goal by Alex Hanks that made it 27-14. One possession later, the Eagles closed the scoring on a six-yard touchdown run by quarterback Kevin Ellison. Appalachian drove inside the Eagles’ 15 yard line for the fifth time on its final possession but came away empty when it turned the ball over on downs at the GS 12. In addition to the red-zone woes, Appalachian State allowed 408 rushing yards, possessed the ball for only 21:52 and converted just 4-of-13 third downs in the loss. On the flip side, Lamb was impressive for the second-straight week, completing 23-of-42 passes for 256 yards while rushing eight times for 29 yards and a score. His favorite target was McElfresh, who caught seven passes for 64 yards (both game highs). Jones and Montez McGuire had four receptions apiece for 59 and 49 yards, respectively. Defensively, linebacker John Law led Appalachian State with a career-high 16 tackles. Safety Doug Middleton also set a new career high with 10 stops and recorded his second interception of the season. NOTES: The loss snapped Appalachian State’s three-game winning streak versus longtime rival Georgia Southern and was only its fourth loss in the last 12 meetings with the Eagles ... Appalachian lost at Paulson Stadium for only the second time in the last 10 years (2010) ... over the last two games, Appalachian State has scored on just five of its 10 trips into the red zone ... with just 74 rushing yards, App State failed to run for 100 yards for the first time in six games, dating back to it managing just 32 rushing yards at Georgia on Nov. 9 of last season ... true freshman Latrell Gibbs made the first start of his career at cornerback.

HONORING JERRY MOORE COLLEGE FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME CLASS OF 2014

ATTENDANCE: 24,215 BOONE, N.C. — Appalachian State University football fell into a 20-0 hole less than 19 minutes into the game and never recovered in a 47-21 loss to South Alabama at Kidd Brewer Stadium. South Alabama (3-2, 2-1 Sun Belt) racked up 582 yards of offense — including 192 in the first quarter and 346 in the first half — to hand Appalachian State (1-4, 0-2 Sun Belt) the defeat in its first Sun Belt Conference home game. South Alabama scored on four of its first six possessions to jump out to the commanding 20-0 lead with 6:26 to go in the first half. USA’s advantage could have been even bigger but App State blocked one field-goal attempt and the Jaguars missed another. Despite facing the 20-point deficit, Appalachian State appeared to grab momentum midway through the second quarter after South Alabama’s Maleki Harris delivered a vicious hit to the head of Appalachian wideout Simms McElfresh. Harris was ejected following the targeting foul and three plays later, Taylor Lamb threw a 20-yard touchdown pass to Malachi Jones and the Mountaineers cut the deficit to 20-7. After the score, Appalachian forced South Alabama to punt for the first time but the Mountaineers couldn’t score again before the halftime and went into the break trailing 20-7. App State’s hopes of a second-half comeback evaporated when South Alabama scored touchdowns on each of its first three possessions after the break to take an insurmountable 40-7 lead. The Mountaineers found paydirt twice in the fourth quarter on touchdown passes from Lamb to senior tight end Drew Bailey and backup quarterback Kameron Bryant to true freshman receiver Isaiah Lewis but it was not enough to avoid suffering their worst home loss in nearly 30 years, dating back to a 34-7 defeat at the hands of Western Carolina on Oct. 6, 1984. Making his third-career start, Lamb rushed for a career-high 78 yards on 13 carries (6.0 avg.) but completed just 16-of-30 passes for 152 yards, which was his lowest total since taking over the starting role. Jones was his top target with four catches for 64 yards and a score. Quarterback Brandon Bridge led South Alabama’s 582-yard performance by completing 19-of-28 passes for 339 yards and three touchdowns while running nine times for 23 yards and a score. His favorite target was Shavarez Smith, who caught six passes for 133 yards and two scores. Appalachian State linebacker John Law led all tacklers with 11. NOTES: South Alabama’s 582 yards were the most that Appalachian State has allowed since The Citadel racked up 618 yards in a 52-28 win at Kidd Brewer Stadium on Sept. 15, 2012 ... the 582 yards are the second-most that USA has ever amassed in its six-year football history (record: 630 versus Troy in 2013) ... Lamb’s two touchdown passes matched a career high ... Bailey’s fourth-quarter touchdown catch was his first reception since he caught a 10-yard touchdown against Illinois State in the second round of the 2012 NCAA Division I FCS playoffs ... Lewis’ touchdown catch was the first of his career ... Appalachian State sophomore running back Marcus Cox had just 16 yards on eight carries, matching the lowest rushing total of his 17-game career (he had 16 yards on three carries in his collegiate debut at Montana on Aug. 31, 2013) ... Appalachian State fell to 68-13 in its last 81 home games ... Saturday’s attendance of 24,215 marked the 53rd time in the last 54 regular-season home games that Appalachian State has played in front of a crowd larger than Kidd Brewer Stadium’s official seating capacity (which is currently 23,150) ... former Appalachian State coach Jerry Moore was honored with pregame and halftime tributes in recognition of his upcoming induction in the College Football Hall of Fame.

LIBERTY 55 APPALACHIAN STATE 48

OCTOBER 11, 2014

ATTENDANCE: 26,058 BOONE, N.C. — Behind a record-setting performance by redshirt freshman quarterback Taylor Lamb, Appalachian State University football racked up 637 yards of offense but four costly turnovers and a missed field goal proved to be the difference in a 55-48 overtime loss to Liberty at Kidd Brewer Stadium. The game was a back-and-forth affair throughout, featuring five ties and seven lead changes. However, it was decided on two crucial Appalachian State miscues in the waning moments of the contest. With the score tied at 48-48 and two seconds remaining in regulation, Bentlee Critcher narrowly missed a 32-yard field goal to send the game to overtime. Then, after Liberty scored on the first possession of overtime, Lamb overthrew tight end Barrett Burns in the end zone and was picked off by Liberty safety Jacob Hagen to end the game. Unfortunately, the game-ending interception overshadowed the best performance by a freshman passer in Appalachian State history. Lamb’s 397 yards shattered the longstanding Appalachian freshman record of 334 passing yards, set by Randy Joyce against VMI on Oct. 17, 1981. Making the fourth start of his career, Lamb completed 20-of-31 passes to six different receivers, including touchdowns of 63 yards to Simms McElfresh, 60 yards to Bobo Beathard and 48 yards to Shaedon Meadors. His 48-yard strike to Meadors gave the Mountaineers their first lead of the second half at 37-34 with 6:42 to go in the third quarter. Less than two minutes later, App State extended the lead to 40-34 on a 38-yard field goal by Critcher but Liberty took a 41-40 advantage into the final period thanks to D.J. Abnar’s one-yard touchdown dive with 29 seconds left in the third. The Flames’ one-point lead didn’t last long into the fourth quarter, as Appalachian jumped back out in front on a 60-yard touchdown run by Terrence Upshaw less than three minutes into the period. Liberty answered with a 12-play, 75-yard drive, capped by a 13-yard touchdown run by quarterback Josh Woodrum that knotted the score for the fifth time at 48-48 with 6:19 remaining in regulation. Needing only a field goal to win the game, Appalachian marched 60 yards in 14 plays on its ensuing possession while milking all 6:19 off the clock. Upshaw and Marcus Cox combined to rush for 33 yards on the drive and Lamb completed 3-of-3 passes for 24 yards, including a 12-yard pass to McElfresh on third-and-six from the 23 yard line that moved the Mountaineers well within Critcher’s range. However, two plays later, Critcher pushed the 32-yard attempt just wide of the right upright. In fact, the kick was so close that the play was reviewed but the call was confirmed and the game went to overtime. After Appalachian State won the coin toss and elected to play defense first, Liberty needed only six plays to find paydirt on a nine-yard pass from Woodrum to Darrin Peterson. Needing a touchdown to send the game to a second extra period, the Mountaineers picked up 16 yards on the first play of their overtime possession on a hard-nosed run by Cox. On the next play, Lamb’s errant pass was picked off by Hagen to end the game. Appalachian State’s outgained Liberty, 637-501, while averaging a whopping 9.2 yards per play, including 12.8 yards per pass attempt and 19.9 yards per completion. However, it could not overcome its four turnovers (two fumbles and two interceptions), seven penalties for 58 yards and 1-of-4 efficiency in the red zone. In addition to Lamb’s 397 passing yards, the Mountaineers featured two 100-yard rushers (Cox and Upshaw both finished with 111) and a 100-yard receiver (Jones — 105). Liberty also had a 300-yard passer (Woodrum – 356), 100-yard rusher (Abnar – 129) and 100-yard receiver (Dante Shells – 164). Defensively, Appalachian State true freshman safety A.J. Howard led all players with 13 tackles. LU’s Kenny Scott recorded five stops and two fumble recoveries, including one that he returned 39 yards for a touchdown to give Liberty (4-3) a 28-21 lead midway through the second quarter. NOTES: Lamb’s 397 yards were the eighth-highest passing total in Appalachian State history and the most since Armanti Edwards threw for 415 at Wofford in 2009 … Beathard’s and Meadors’ touchdown catches were the first of their careers … Meadors made his Appalachian debut on Saturday and caught a 30-yard pass on his first collegiate play in the first quarter … Mountaineer junior Aaron Krah also scored the first touchdown of his career when he recovered a muffed punt in the end zone in the second quarter … Jones’ 100-yard game was the first of his career … Appalachian State’s 637 yards were its most since it amassed 684 in a 55-14 win over Coastal Carolina on Sept. 29, 2012 … the Mountaineers lost for only the second time in the last 36 games that they have scored 30 points or more (the other being a 38-37 overtime loss to Illinois State in the second round of the 2012 NCAA Division I FCS playoffs) … Appalachian dropped back-to-back homecoming games for the first time since it lost four-straight from 1977-80.

ATTENDANCE: 15,664 TROY, Ala. – Appalachian State University football put together a dominating performance and picked up its first-ever Sun Belt Conference victory with a 53-14 rout over five-time Sun Belt champion Troy on at Veterans Memorial Stadium. After falling into an early 7-0 hole, Appalachian State (2-5, 1-2 Sun Belt) scored 53 of the game’s final 60 points – including 29 unanswered to close it out – and finished with a 551-308 advantage in total yardage in the win, its first over an NCAA Division I FBS opponent since its historic 34-32 win at No. 5 Michigan in 2007. Aided by two penalties and a conversion on fourth-and-eight, Troy (1-6, 1-2 Sun Belt) scored on its opening possession to grab the early 7-0 lead but it was all Mountaineers from there. App State needed exactly one play to draw even as, for the second-straight game, the Mountaineers scored on their first offensive snap when Taylor Lamb found Malachi Jones for a 59-yard touchdown pass to knot the score at 7-7. The Mountaineers’ touchdown on their first offensive play opened a 24-point onslaught over the next 15 minutes that gave App State a commanding 24-7 lead less than six minutes into the second quarter. The early scoring barrage included a 37-yard field goal by Bentlee Critcher, defensive end Olawale Dada’s 20-yard return of a fumble forced by outside linebacker Osvaldo Sombo and the first of three touchdown runs by Marcus Cox, a two-yarder that gave Appalachian the 17-point advantage with 9:56 still left to play in the first half. Troy cut the Apps’ advantage to 24-14 on a 99-yard kickoff return by Chandler Worthy (his second kickoff return for a touchdown in as many games) but that would be the last points the Trojans’ would score. App State took a 26-14 lead into halftime thanks to a bizarre safety on the final play of the first half. With 13 seconds to go in the half and Appalachian on Troy’s eight yard line, Lamb completed a pass to wideout Montez McGuire near the goal line. As McGuire tried to stretch the ball into the end zone for a touchdown, he fumbled into the arms of Troy defensive back Mark Wilson. When he caught the ball, Wilson ran back into Troy’s end zone where he was tackled by App State center Graham Fisher that stretched the Mountaineers’ lead to 12 points with one second remaining on the first-half clock. As dominant as Appalachian State was in the first half, it was even more so after the break when it outscored the Trojans, 27-0, to finish off the romp. Cox scored on runs of 33 and one yard, Lamb ran it in from 16 yards out and backup quarterback Kameron Bryant closed out the scoring on a three-yard run with 10:22 still left in the ballgame. Appalachian State’s 551 yards included a whopping 441 on the ground, good for the Mountaineers’ highest rushing total since they ran for 448 yards against Jacksonville on Sept. 6, 2008. For the second-straight week, Appalachian’s ground attack featured two 100-yard rushers in Cox (123 yards on 16 carries) and junior Ricky Fergerson, who came off the bench to amass 107 yards on 10 carries. The Mountaineers nearly had four 100-yard rushers, as Lamb ran for a career-high 98 yards on eight carries and Terrence Upshaw rushed 11 times for 82 yards before leaving the game with a minor lower-body injury in the third quarter. Defensively, Appalachian State forced four turnovers, limited Troy to a 7-of-20 conversion rate on third and fourth downs and surrendered just one touchdown in the win. The Mountaineers also held the Trojans, who rushed for 360 yards in last week’s 41-24 win over New Mexico State, to just 79 yards on 32 carries (2.5 avg.). True freshman cornerback Latrell Gibbs headlined the stout defensive performance with career-high eight tackles and the first two interceptions of his career, the first of which set up an Appalachian State touchdown. Inside linebacker D.J. Ward led the Mountaineers with a career-high nine tackles. NOTES: Appalachian State, which is in its first season as a member of NCAA Division I FBS, beat an FBS team for the first time since its historic 34-32 victory over Michigan on Sept. 1, 2007 … the win snapped Appalachian’s 10-game losing streak against FBS opponents … the Mountaineers snapped a four-game losing streak with the win and avoided dropping five-straight games for the first time since 1977 … App State moved to 2-2 all-time against Troy and 2-1 at Veterans Memorial Stadium … the Mountaineers’ 39-point margin of victory was its largest in a conference game since it toppled Wofford, 70-24, in a Southern Conference matchup on Oct. 31, 2008 … the 39-point margin of victory was also the second-largest in a Sun Belt game this season, behind only Arkansas State’s 52-10 win over Georgia State last Saturday … the Mountaineers’ 441 rushing yards were the second-most by a Sun Belt team this season, behind only Georgia Southern’s 564 rushing yards against Savannah State on Sept. 6 … only a sophomore, Cox moved into Appalachian State’s all-time top 10 on Saturday for rushing touchdowns in a career … his 24 career rushing touchdowns are tied for seventh in school history with Alvin Parker (1980-83) … with three touchdown runs on Saturday, Cox surpassed D.J. Campbell (22 – 1989-92), Richie Williams (22 – 2002-05) and current head coach Scott Satterfield (23 – 1992-95) on Appalachian State’s all-time rushing touchdowns list … Fisher, a senior that has never played a position outside of the offensive line during his collegiate career, has a safety and a reception to his credit – in addition to the safety at Troy, he had a 13-yard catch on a deflected pass against Montana in 2012.

NOVEMBER 1, 2014

ATTENDANCE: 22,643 BOONE, N.C. — In a driving High Country snowstorm, Appalachian State University football put together a second-straight dominating performance and routed visiting Georgia State, 44-0, at Kidd Brewer Stadium. In its first season as a member of the NCAA Division I FBS Sun Belt Conference, Appalachian State (3-5, 2-2 Sun Belt) collected its first-ever Sun Belt home win and its first-ever home triumph over an FBS opponent. The victory came in even more impressive fashion than the Mountaineers’ 53-14 romp at Troy in their Oct. 18 outing. Appalachian outgained Georgia State (1-8, 0-6 Sun Belt), 567-62, including a 469-8 advantage on the ground. App State also easily outdistanced the Panthers in first downs (26-6), possession time (38:40-21:20) and third/fourth down conversions (11-of-18 for App State, 3-of-13 for GSU). Appalachian State’s 469 rushing yards were its most in 39 years, dating back to its 572 yards in a 52-28 win over Lenoir-Rhyne on Oct. 18, 1975. Defensively, Georgia State’s 62 total yards were the fewest that the Mountaineers surrendered in 53 years, dating back to a 22-0 win over Guilford on Nov. 4, 1961. Additionally, GSU’s eight rushing yards were the fewest that App State allowed since North Carolina Central managed just six in a 55-21 Appalachian win on Oct. 10, 2009 and the Mountaineers’ 505-yard advantage was their largest since they outgained Georgia Southern, 712-171, in a 52-16 win on Oct. 24, 2009. The outcome was decided early, as Appalachian State scored what proved to be the only points it would need less that four minutes into the game. Linebacker John Law intercepted GSU quarterback Nick Arbuckle on the fifth play of the game and five plays later Marcus Cox capped a 33-yard drive with a one-yard touchdown run that made it 7-0. The Mountaineers stretched the lead to 20-0 on an 11-yard touchdown run by quarterback Taylor Lamb late in the first quarter and a six-yard run by Cox early in the second. Appalachian maintained the 20-point lead late into the first half and appeared to be content with the opportunity to take a 23-0 advantage into halftime when Bentlee Critcher lined up for a 30-yard field goal with three seconds to go in the half. However, after Georgia State took three-consecutive timeouts in an apparent attempt to ice Critcher, the Mountaineers responded with a perfectly executed fake and Simms McElfresh, the holder on the wouldbe field-goal attempt, rushed straight up the middle for a 13-yard touchdown run that stretched the Mountaineers’ lead to 27-0 at the break. After the half, the only question that remained was whether the Mountaineers would maintain the shutout. GSU’s only true threat to put points on the board came early in the fourth quarter when a 35-yard return on Appalachian’s lone punt of the game and a 15-yard penalty for an illegal tackle at the end of the play gave the Panthers the ball inside App State’s 20 yard line. However, six plays, Appalachian State’s Deuce Robinson recovered a fumble on a botched handoff exchange and the Mountaineers went on to finish off their second shutout of the year. While the nearly constant snowfall was likely a factor, Appalachian State’s defensive effort played a large part in limiting nation’s 15th-ranked aerial attack to just 54 yards, 262 below its Sun Belt-leading 316.2 passing yards per game coming in. Most notably, the Mountaineers recorded a season-high four sacks, including a season-best 1.5 by Robinson and forced three turnovers, including two takeaways by Law (an interception and a fumble recovery). Georgia State’s 54 passing yards were the fewest in its five-year program history, 20 yards less than its previous low of 74 versus Alabama in GSU’s inaugural season of 2010. Offensively, Cox ran for a career-high 250 yards and three touchdowns on just 29 carries (8.6 avg.). Over the past two games, the Doak Walker Award candidate has rushed for 373 yards on 45 carries (8.3 avg.) and six scores. For the third-straight game, Appalachian’s rushing attack featured two 100-yard rushers, as junior Ricky Fergerson went over the 100-yard mark for the second game in a row with a career-best 123 yards on just 14 carries (8.8 avg.). NOTES: Appalachian State amassed at least 500 yards of offense for the third-straight game (637 vs. Liberty on Oct. 11, 551 at Troy on Oct. 18 and 567 on Saturday vs. GSU) … the Mountaineers have recorded two shutouts in a season for the first time since 1998, when they blanked VMI (51-0) and Eastern Kentucky (19-0) in back-to-back weeks (Nov. 7 and 14) … prior to accomplishing the feat in each of the last three games, Appalachian had not featured two 100-yard rushers in any contest since 2011 when current New Orleans Saint Travaris Cadet (133 yards) and Steven Miller (102) both surpassed the 100-yard plateau against The Citadel (Oct. 15) … Appalachian moved to 20-1 in its last 21 home games played in the month of November … the Mountaineers moved to 11-3 all-time versus opponents from the state of Georgia at Kidd Brewer Stadium.

SCORING SUMMARY 1 2 3 4 F WARHAWKS (3-6, 2-3) 6 14 3 6 — 29 MOUNTAINEERS (4-5, 3-2) 7 14 0 10 — 31 ATTENDANCE: 20,497 BOONE, N.C. – Sophomore Bentlee Critcher drilled a 39-yard field goal with 29 seconds to go to lift Appalachian State University football to a thrilling 31-29 come-from-behind win over UL Monroe on at Kidd Brewer Stadium. After falling behind 29-28 with 1:42 left in the ballgame, Appalachian State (4-5, 3-2 Sun Belt) drove 53 yards in 1:13 to set up Critcher’s game-winning kick. Freshman quarterback Taylor Lamb engineered the go-ahead drive, completing seven-, 12- and eight-yard passes to Simms McElfresh, Montez McGuire and Marcus Cox, respectively, to move the Mountaineers from their own 25 yard line to the ULM 22 in just 73 seconds. Malachi Jones, Appalachian State’s leading receiver on the afternoon with seven catches for 82 yards, also drew two key pass-interference penalties on the drive. After Critcher split the uprights from the left hash to give the Mountaineers the two-point lead, Appalachian State was called for consecutive penalties on the ensuing kickoff and UL Monroe (3-6, 2-3 Sun Belt) took over on its own 40 yard line with 22 seconds left on the clock. However, App State forced a pair of incomplete passes to seal the victory. Appalachian State, which fell behind 20-7 early in the second quarter, scored two touchdowns in the final 2:04 of the first half to take a 21-20 halftime advantage. However, the Mountaineers’ lead was short-lived, as ULM regained a 23-21 advantage early in the third quarter on Justin Manton’s third field goal of the game. The score remained 23-21 until late in the final period when Cox capped a 12-play, 89-yard drive with a sevenyard touchdown run that gave the Mountaineers a 28-23 lead with 6:10 left in the ballgame. ULM responded with a 14-play drive, converting two fourth downs along the way, including a spectacular touchdown catch by Ajalen Holley on fourth-and-goal from the three yard line that gave the Warhawks a 29-28 lead with 1:42 left on the clock. ULM’s two-point conversion try was no good, setting up the Mountaineers’ game-winning drive. Appalachian State totaled 380 yards of offense against ULM, 30 more than the Sun Belt’s top-ranked defense had surrendered per game coming in and 137 more than it allowed in last Saturday’s 21-16 loss at Texas A&M. Lamb led the way, completing 25-of-35 passes for 276 yards and two touchdowns. Cox accounted for 150 allpurpose yards (94 rushing and 56 receiving) and McGuire added 59 yards on three receptions. Most impressively, the Mountaineers’ offensive line did not surrender a sack against the Warhawks, which came in to the game with a conference-best 29 sacks on the season. Defensively, Appalachian limited ULM to just 299 yards, marking the third-straight game and fifth time in nine games this season that it held its opponent to less than 350 yards. The stout defensive effort was led by a relentless pass rush that recorded a season-high six sacks, including oneand-a-half apiece by first-time starter Nathaniel Norwood and senior Deuce Robinson. Appalachian also tallied seven quarterback hurries (including two by Robinson) and six pass breakups. True freshman Eric Boggs led all players with 11 tackles. NOTES: Appalachian State won when trailing after three quarters for the first time since it overcame a 28-24 deficit to defeat Georgia Southern, 31-28, on Nov. 3, 2012 … Appalachian won for the first time in nine all-time games versus opponents from the state of Louisiana … UL Monroe lost for the first time in three all-time games in the state of North Carolina … the Mountaineers moved to 21-1 in their last 22 home games played in the month of November … true freshman Shaedon Meadors made one of the most spectacular catches of the year in college football when he hauled in a diving one-handed grab on a terrific throw from Lamb with 18 seconds left in the first half … Meadors’ 31-yard catch was originally ruled a touchdown but after video review, it was determined that he was down on the one yard line … Appalachian scored one play later on a one-yard touchdown pass from Lamb to Barrett Burns to take the 21-20 halftime lead … junior Tacoi Sumler scored the first touchdown of his career on an eight-yard slant from Lamb in the second quarter … App State’s top six tacklers included four true freshman (Boggs, Devan Stringer – 7, A.J. Howard – 6 and Latrell Gibbs – 5) and two sophomores (Kennan Gilchrist – 7 and Norwood – 6).

APPALACHIAN STATE FOOTBALL GAME 10 • NOVEMBER 15 at ARKANSAS STATE

ATTENDANCE: 20,016 JONESBORO, Ark. – Marcus Cox ran for 229 yards and two touchdowns and Appalachian State University football dominated three-time-defending Sun Belt Conference champion Arkansas State for much of the game before holding on for a 37-32 victory at Centennial Bank Stadium. Appalachian State (5-5, 4-2 Sun Belt) overcame an early 20-6 deficit with 31-straight points to pull even with Arkansas State (6-4, 4-2 Sun Belt) for third place in the Sun Belt standings. After Arkansas State took a 20-6 lead midway through the second quarter, the Mountaineers dominated the action for the next two-plus periods. In a 33-minute span from the 7:10 mark of the second quarter until Appalachian took a 37-20 lead on by Bentlee Critcher’s 24-yard field goal with 4:10 to go in the ballgame, the Mountaineers outgained A-State, 400-43. The spurt began with App State driving 86 yards only to fumble into the end zone for a touchback. However, instead of that being a game-defining miscue, it only served as the precursor to an avalanche that saw the Mountaineers score on five-straight possessions (four touchdowns and a field goal) while limiting the Red Wolves’ vaunted offense to just two first downs. Holding a 17-point lead, Appalachian State seemingly clinched the win when it stopped the Red Wolves on fourth down from the Mountaineers’ eight yard line with 2:33 left in the game. However, on the very next play, Appalachian lost its second fumble of the game and A-State cut the lead to 37-26 one play later. The Red Wolves missed their second extra point of the game following the 10-yard touchdown pass from Fredi Knighten to Darion Griswold. Things got interesting when Arkansas State recovered the ensuing onside kick, drove 53 yards in four plays and scored on a nine-yard pass from Knighten to Johnston White. Down by five points, the Red Wolves went for two but Knighten’s pass fell harmlessly to the ground, leaving the Mountaineers with a 37-32 advantage with 1:31 left on the clock. Malachi Jones recovered A-State’s next onside kick attempt but Appalachian State failed to pick up what would have been a game-clinching first down and punted back to the Red Wolves with 22 seconds remaining. Arkansas State picked up 21 yards on its first play after the punt but threw two-straight incomplete passes to set up the final snap of the ballgame from its own 41 yard line. The Red Wolves attempted to navigate their way to the end zone with a short pass and a series of laterals but App State defensive end Ronald Blair intercepted the second pitch attempt to seal the win. Despite allowing Arkansas State to pick up 146 yards in the final 4:02, the Mountaineers still outgained the Red Wolves by a whopping 549-314 margin. Appalachian also held huge advantages in rushing yards (294-167), passing yards (255-147), first downs (29-14), time of possession (41:46-18:14) and third-down conversions (7-of-15 to 0-of-11). Arkansas State’s 314 yards were 147 fewer than it averaged coming into the game while Appalachian State’s 549 yards were 179 more than A-State’s defense had allowed on average. The Red Wolves came into the afternoon with the Sun Belt’s second-ranked offense and third-ranked defense. Cox led the dominant performance with his second 200-yard game in the last three contests. The sophomore Doak Walker Award candidate had a career-high 40 carries and added 54 yards on two receptions. Redshirt freshman quarterback Taylor Lamb also had a big day, completing 14-of-22 passes without an interception for 255 yards and two touchdowns. Seven different Mountaineers caught passes, led by Montez McGuire, who had four catches for 55 yards and a touchdown, and Simms McElfresh, who had three receptions for 57 yards. For the second-straight week, true freshman Shaedon Meadors made an amazing one-handed catch, this time hauling it in for a 24-yard touchdown. Defensively, safety Doug Middleton led Appalachian with nine solo tackles. Blair and linebacker Kennan Gilchrist chipped in with five stops apiece. All three of the Mountaineers’ leading tacklers recorded a tackle for loss and Blair added two quarterback hurries. Appalachian State’s four-game winning streak is its longest since Sept. 22-Oct. 13, 2012. NOTES: Cox’s 229-yard performance is good for the 13th-highest single-game rushing total in Appalachian State history … his 40 carries were the third-most in Appalachian history and the most since Damon Scott toted the ball 42 times in a 154-yard effort against Chattanooga in 1996 … Cox finished the day with 1,142 rushing yards this season, becoming the first running back in Appalachian State history to surpass the 1,000-yard mark as a freshman and sophomore … quarterback Armanti Edwards is the only other Mountaineer to ever accomplish the feat (2006-07) … the 200-yard game was the third of Cox’s career – he ran for a career-high 250 yards against Georgia State on Nov. 1 and had 215 yards in last year’s season finale against Western Carolina … Arkansas State lost at home for the first time this season (4-1) and only the third time in its last 23 home games … A-State lost a Sun Belt game for only the fifth time in the last four seasons (24-5) … prior to Saturday, the Red Wolves had scored at least 40 points in four-straight games and had surrendered 14 points or less in four of their last six contests … Appalachian State won for the first time in school history when playing west of the Mississippi River … the Mountaineers are now 1-10 all-time on the left side of the Mississippi.

ATTENDANCE: 20,638 LAFAYETTE, La. — Appalachian State University football won its fifth-consecutive game in convincing fashion, routing three-time-defending New Orleans Bowl champion UL Lafayette, 35-16, at Cajun Field. With the victory, Appalachian State (6-5, 5-2 Sun Belt) snapped UL Lafayette’s six-game winning streak and handed the Ragin’ Cajuns (7-4, 6-1 Sun Belt) their first Sun Belt Conference loss of the season. The Mountaineers fell behind 3-0 midway through the first quarter but took a 7-3 lead on Marcus Cox’s eightyard touchdown run with 1:45 to go in the opening period and never trailed again. After clinging to a 14-13 halftime advantage, Appalachian took over in the second half, outgaining UL Lafayette, 269-114, and outscoring the Cajuns, 21-3, after the break. The second-half onslaught began in earnest midway through the third quarter when the Mountaineers marched 84 yards in four plays to stretch their lead to 21-13. True freshman Shaedon Meadors opened the drive by hauling in a 43-yard pass from Taylor Lamb. Three plays later, Lamb hit Montez McGuire in stride down the right sideline for a 40yard touchdown. UL Lafayette responded with a 33-yard field goal on its next series to cut it to 21-16 and App State’s advantage remained at five points until the fourth quarter when it put together a back-breaking 13-play, 76-yard drive that melted 6:03 off the clock and culminated with Cox’s second touchdown run of the day from two yards out that stretched the lead to 28-16 with 5:35 to go. On the ensuing series, Appalachian State’s defense forced a turnover on downs and three plays later, Terrence Upshaw put the game away with a 36-yard touchdown run that gave the Mountaineers an insurmountable 19-point lead with 2:25 to play. The story of the game was Cox, who torched UL Lafayette’s stout rushing defense for 151 yards and two touchdowns. The 100-yard game was the fifth in the last six games for Cox, who is likely in line to be named the Sun Belt Offensive Player of the Week for the third time in the last four weeks. Upshaw added 54 yards on seven carries and Lamb ran for 31 yards on just two carries to give the Mountaineers 232 rushing yards — nearly 100 more than the Sun Belt’s top-ranked rushing defense had allowed per game coming in (140.6 ypg). Lamb also threw for 195 yards on 11-of-22 passing, with McGuire (two catches for 52 yards and a touchdown) and Meadors (two catches for 49 yards) being his top targets. Defensively, Appalachian State limited UL Lafayette to just 259 yards, 166 fewer than the Cajuns averaged prior to Saturday. Sophomore linebacker John Law led the Mountaineers with nine tackles while Nathaniel Norwood, Devan Stringer, Ronald Blair, Joel Ross, Kennan Gilchrist and Deuce Robinson each had one of the Mountaineers’ six sacks. The Ragin’ Cajuns had allowed just 15 sacks through their first 10 games. NOTES: Appalachian State’s second touchdown came on a 33-yard punt return by Bobo Beathard, the Mountaineers’ first punt-return touchdown in more than eight years … Dexter Jackson was the last Mountaineer to return a punt for a touchdown, doing so twice at Gardner-Webb on Sept. 23, 2006 … Cox’s 100-yard game was his seventh of the season and 13th of his 23-game career … Appalachian won for the first time in seven all-time games played in the state of Louisiana … Appalachian State is the first team since Florida International in 2010 to beat Sun Belt powers Arkansas State and UL Lafayette in back-to-back games … FIU’s offensive coordinator that season was current Appalachian State head coach Scott Satterfield … since FIU accomplished the feat, the last five teams that have played Arkansas State and UL Lafayette in back-to-back games have lost both contests.

APPALACHIAN STATE FOOTBALL GAME 12 • NOVEMBER 29 vs. IDAHO

NOVEMBER 29, 2014

ATTENDANCE: 19, 721 BOONE, N.C. — Appalachian State University football completed its incredible turnaround from a 1-5 start by closing the season with its sixth-straight victory, a 45-28 rout over Idaho at Kidd Brewer Stadium. With the victory, Appalachian State closes its first regular season as a member of the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) with a 7-5 overall record. The Mountaineers finished 6-2 in Sun Belt Conference play, good for a third-place finish in their first campaign in the league. Appalachian State has filed a request for a waiver from its NCAA-mandated postseason ineligibility (all programs transitioning from NCAA Division I FCS to FBS are barred from postseason play during that two-year process — Appalachian is in the second year of its transition and has completed or is on an appropriate timeline to complete all requirements for full FBS membership). The NCAA has notified App State that its request will be considered next week. Should the request be granted, the Mountaineers will be eligible to receive and accept a bowl invitation on or before Sunday, Dec. 7. Saturday’s all-important seventh win of the season did not come easy, as Appalachian State had to overcome 7-0 and 9-7 deficits in the first quarter before pulling away. After Idaho (1-10, 1-7 Sun Belt) took a 6-0 lead on a 17-play drive to open the ballgame, the Mountaineers responded one play later when redshirt freshman quarterback Taylor Lamb hooked up with true freshman wideout Shaedon Meadors for a 59-yard touchdown pass on Appalachian’s first play from scrimmage to take a 7-6 lead. The Mountaineers’ advantage was short-lived, as Idaho strung together 10 plays and kicked a 43-yard field goal to regain a 9-7 lead. In addition to the two-point advantage, the Vandals had run 27 plays compared to just one for App State with 3:20 to go in the opening period. However, Appalachian State took control at that point, scoring 31 of the game’s next 37 points to turn the twopoint deficit into a commanding 38-15 lead on Marcus Cox’s second touchdown run of the day with 10:51 to go in the game. Cox finished with 122 yards and two scores on 25 carries (4.9 avg.), good for his sixth 100-yard effort in the last eight games, his eighth of the season and his 14th in just 24 career games. Despite undergoing knee surgery just two weeks prior to the season opener at Michigan, he finished the campaign with 1,415 yards, the sixth-highest singleseason total in Appalachian State history. With 2,665 yards through just two seasons, he is on pace to shatter the Mountaineers’ career record of 4,804 yards, held by App State Hall of Famer Kevin Richardson (2004-07). Lamb connected on 13-of-20 passes for 223 yards and a career-high-tying three touchdowns to lead the passing game. In the process, he set a new Appalachian State freshman record with 2,381 passing yards, breaking the previous mark of 2,251 set by Armanti Edwards in 2006. Lamb broke the record on a 32-yard touchdown pass to Tacoi Sumler early in the second quarter. Defensively, Appalachian State limited to Idaho to 365 total yards, including just 208 through the air, 72 fewer than the Vandals’ league-leading 280.4 passing yards per game coming in. The Mountaineers were particularly effective against Biletnikoff Award candidate wideout Joshua McCain, who they held to just three receptions for 39 yards (both season lows). McCain came into the game with 73 receptions for 1,123 yards and 11 touchdowns. Inside linebacker John Law led the defensive effort with 14 tackles while safety Alex Gray added eight stops. Defensive end Ronald Blair chipped in with six tackles, a tackle for loss and three quarterback hurries. NOTES: Appalachian State’s six-game winning streak is its longest since it won its first eight games in 2010 … the Mountaineers scored at least 35 points in each of their last seven games, their longest such streak since they did so in the first eight games of the ’10 campaign … Appalachian moved to 22-1 in its last 23 home games played in the month of November … the Mountaineers moved to 2-0 all-time against opponents from the Pacific time zone (App State beat Eastern Washington, 38-35, in the quarterfinals of the 2007 NCAA Division I FCS playoffs) … Appalachian evened its record at 1-1 all-time against opponents from the state of Idaho (the Mountaineers lost at Boise State, 1714, in the quarterfinals of the 1994 NCAA Division I-AA playoffs) … Idaho lost for the sixth-straight time when playing in the Eastern time zone … the Vandals’ last win in the Eastern time zone was a 33-13 victory at Western Michigan on Oct. 2, 2010 … in a departure from its customary black-on-black home ensemble, Appalachian State wore gold pants for the first time since a 55-14 win over Coastal Carolina on Sept. 29, 2012 ... Bentlee Critcher’s 49-yard field goal in the first quarter was a career-long and the longest by an Appalachian State kicker this season ... on Senior Day, fifth-year senior quarterback Logan Hallock, who sustained a season-ending knee injury on Sept. 6 against Campbell, entered the game and took a knee on the final two snaps to close out the contest.

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

HISTORY AND TRADITIONS

NO. 2 APPALACHIAN STATE 21 NORTHERN IOWA 16

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.

1 2 3 4 F 7 7 0 14 — 28 7 0 3 7 — 17

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.

SECOND QUARTER :49 APP Richardson 6 run (Rauch kick) 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.

HISTORY AND TRADITIONS

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.

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.

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.

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.

HISTORY AND TRADITIONS

DELAWARE 21 APPALACHIAN STATE 49

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.

APPALACHIAN STATE FOOTBALL RETIRED JERSEYS

HISTORY AND TRADITIONS

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.

APPALACHIAN STATE FOOTBALL APPALACHIAN HEROES

HISTORY AND TRADITIONS

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.

Rob Best, Stacy Searels and Shawn Elliott were presented with the NCAA Award of Valor, recognizing individuals who, when confronted with a situation involving personal danger, averted or minimized potential disaster by courageous action or noteworthy bravery. www.APPSTATESPORTS.com • @APPSTATESPORTS

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. Elliott and Searels both serve as offensive-line coaches at college-football powers — Elliott at South Carolina and Searels at Virginia Tech.

BRIAN STOKES

Many events on the gridiron during Appalachian State’s run to consecutive NCAA Division I national championships in 2005 and ‘06 were described as heroic. However, Appalachian benefitted from the presence of a true hero on the field and in the locker room during the championship campaigns. Brian Stokes came to Appalachian in 2005 as a 26-year-old freshman. Prior to his arrival in the High Country, Stokes spent five years in the United States Marine Corps, serving deployments to over 10 countries during his military career, including two tours of duty in Iraq. During Stokes’ second tour in Iraq in 2004, the former all-state linebacker and fullback at Williams H.S. in Burlington, N.C. served in over 200 combat missions, including the invasion of Fullujah. A sergeant in the 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marines, Stokes was the commanding officer in a humvee near Lutayfiah in August 2004 when his convoy was the target of two 200-kilogram roadside bombs, which blew the 300-pound doors off Stokes’ humvee when detonated within yards of the armored vehicle. Everyone in the vehicle survived, but Stokes suffered shrapnel wounds in his right arm and lost the majority of hearing in his right ear. Following his release from active duty, Stokes and fellow Marine Wayne Norman enrolled at Appalachian, where head coach Jerry Moore welcomed the heroes with open arms. Both were on the field for the opening kickoff in the 2005 home opener versus Coastal Carolina. Stokes was a regular contributor on special teams and played an important role in the Mountaineers winning their first-ever national title. Little did Stokes know that just one week prior to the 21-16 victory over Northern Iowa in the 2005 NCAA DIvision I-AA national championship game, he was awarded a Purple Heart for the injuries he sustained in the roadside bomb attack 16 months earlier. He wasn’t aware of the recognition until the Purple Heart arrived in the mail in February 2006. Due to injury-riddled stints as a member of the football programs at East Carolina and Elon following Stokes’ standout high-school career, the former Shrine Bowl participant was granted just two years of eligibility at Appalachian by the NCAA. He returned for his final gridiron campaign in 2006 and again was a key special-teams performer for Appalachian’s second-straight national title march. Stokes finished his career with eight tackles in 29 games and capped his football-playing days with an appearance in the Texas vs. The Nation All-Star Classic in El Paso, Texas. His story has been told in dozens of newspapers and on television programs across the region and nation, highlighted by an appearance on CBS’ Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson in 2005. He graduated from Appalachian State with a degree in criminal justice in 2008. A book and movie chronicling Stokes’ journey are in production stages. Stokes is one of three Iraqi War veterans to go on to play for the Mountaineers. Norman suited up for App State for its first national championship campaign in 2005 and Chris Aiken, a five-year U.S. Army Purple Heart recipient Brian Stokes military police veteran who did two tours was a special-teams standout for the of duty in Iraq, played defensive tackle for Mountaineers in 2005 and ‘06. the Mountaineers in 2010 and 2011.

2015 HISTORY AND TRADITIONS

APPALACHIAN STATE FOOTBALL MEMORABLE GAMES OF THE NCAA DIVISION I ERA (1971-PRESENT) SEPTEMBER 9, 1972

NOVEMBER 8, 1975

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

DAVIS REDEEMS HIMSELF WITH LAST-SECOND, GAME-WINNING FIELD GOAL AT WFU APPALACHIAN STATE 19, WAKE FOREST 17

Separated by less than 100 miles, Appalachian State and Wake Forest did not meet on the gridiron for the first time until 1975. However, the wait proved to be worthwhile for the Mountaineers, who scored a program-defining 19-17 win over the Atlantic Coast Conference’s Demon Deacons. Highlighted by strong defensive performances by both squads, the contest was tied at 10-10 at halftime and remained knotted until Appalachian quarterback Robbie Price’s 32-yard touchdown run with 32 seconds left in the third quarter. However, Gary Davis missed the ensuing extra-point attempt and the Mountaineers led just 16-10. The Apps’ perilous six-point lead held up until a fumble deep in their own territory late in the fourth quarter. Appalachian’s second turnover of the game set up a 15-yard touchdown drive that gave the Demon Deacons a 1716 advantage with 4:20 to go in the ballgame. The resiliant Mountaineers responded by marching 61 yards in 11 plays John Craig (35), a transfer from South Carolina, scored Appalachian State’s first and Davis made up for his missed PAT by splitting the uprights from 26 yards touchdown and Robbie Price (5) threw for two touchdowns and ran for another in the out with five seconds remaining to seal the 19-17 triumph.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Daniel Jeremiah’s one-yard touchdown run in overtime gave Appalachian State head coach Jerry Moore his 100th career victory, a 30-27 triumph over Wake Forest in Winston-Salem. Moore’s 100th win was his fourth over Wake in 10 seasons at the helm of the Mountaineers. Appalachian jumped out to a 10-0 lead in the first quarter thanks to a 27-yard field goal by Stuart Jones and a 47-yard touchdown run by Terrence McCall. The Demon Deacons scored 17 of the game’s next 20 points to take a 17-13 advantage into the fourth quarter. After Jones’ third field goal of the game cut the 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.APPSTATESPORTS.com • @APPSTATESPORTS

Williams set NCAA all-divisions records by completing 28-straight passes at one point and 40-of-45 overall in the win. Despite Williams’ efforts, the Mountaineers found themselves trailing the Paladins by six points after Furman quarterback Ingle Martin connected with running back Cedrick Gipson on a 52-yard catch and run with 2:03 to go in the ball game. However, Williams saved his best for last, as he accounted for 78 yards on Appalachian’s final drive by completing 4-of-4 passes for 61 yards and running for 17 more, including a 13-yard keeper for the winning touchdown with 35 seconds remaining.

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.

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.

HISTORY AND TRADITIONS

APPALACHIAN STATE 34, NO. 5 (AP) MICHIGAN 32

THE ANATOMY OF AN UPSET

Thanks in large part to Dexter Jackson’s two touchdown catches and Armanti Edwards’ perfect first half (7of-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. www.APPSTATESPORTS.com • @APPSTATESPORTS

Edwards engineered a seven-play, 69-yard drive over the next 1:11 to set up Julian Rauch’s go-ahead 24yard field goal 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.

2015 HISTORY AND TRADITIONS

APPALACHIAN STATE FOOTBALL KIDD BREWER STADIUM

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

APP STATE HOME RECORD • 2003-14:

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 55th season in the venerable stadium, Appalachian State boasts a 225-72-5 all-time record at Kidd Brewer Stadium, including wins in 71 of its last 85 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. Over the last decade (2005-14), more than 1.75 million fans have passed through the KBS turnstiles with attendance surpassing the stadium’s official seating capacity for 54 of the last 58 regular-season games going into the 2015 campaign. Since 2005, the average attendance for a regular-season game at Kidd Brewer Stadium has been 23,779, a mark that comes in at 117 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 and, despite a 1-5 start and inclement weather for much of its initial NCAA Division I FBS home campaign, still ranked third in the Sun Belt Conference in 2014. To meet the demand of Mountaineer fans, Appalachian State has added nearly 7,000 seats to the stadium since 2007. Kidd Brewer Stadium’s official seating capacity was 16,650 in ‘07 but three separate expansion projects in the last seven 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. 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-squarefoot 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.

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

APPALACHIAN STATE FOOTBALL POSTSEASON HISTORY

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.

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.

EDUCATING QUALITY CITIZENS AND LEADERS Appalachian State University is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Boone, N.C. At an elevation of 3,333 feet, Boone began as a frontier outpost named after pioneer Daniel Boone, who first explored the area in the 1760s. Boone now attracts those seeking a breathtaking location, adventure and a quality education. Appalachian is 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.

ATHLETICS EXCELLENCE More than 450 student-athletes compete in 20 NCAA Division 1 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 1 Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). Appalachian student-athletes work just as hard in the classroom: • * In May 2015, Appalachian athletics was awarded the Sun Belt’s 2015 Institutional Graduation Rate Award for 2013-14. The award is given to the school with the highest Federal Graduation Rate among all current Sun Belt members. • * 101 Appalachian student-athletes were named to the Sun Belt Conference Commissioner’s List in fall 2014, an honor given to student-athletes with a GPA of 3.5 or higher. • * 109 Appalachian student-athletes were named to the Sun Belt’s Academic Honor Roll in fall 2014, an honor given to student-athletes with a GPA of 3.0-3.49. • * 210 student-athletes were awarded academic honors, making Appalachian the school with the most students to do so.

APPALACHIAN STATE ATHLETICS MISSION STATEMENT The Department of Athletics at Appalachian State University believes in maintaining the intercollegiate athletics program as an integral part of the University’s overall program of education, with emphasis on and priority given to high academic quality and standards and the complete development of the student.

Appalachian Athletics is committed to insuring equitable recruitment, participation and treatment of individuals including members of under-represented populations through its athletics administration, staff, coaches, programs and poli-

cies. The University’s policy of non-discrimination represents a moral and ethical, not merely a legal, imperative. The University has determined that its athletics program will meet the necessary qualifications, guidelines and funding to hold membership in Division I of the NCAA. The athletics administration, the faculty athletics representative and the Athletics Council work together to insure that all teams and coaches follow the rules and regulations governing this division. A sound program of intercollegiate athletics should benefit the institution through its effects on students, alumni ad the institution itself. Specifically, it should maintain and improve the loyalty and esprit de corps of the student body, and in strengthening the pride and enthusiasm of the alumni; it should serve as a favorable public relations factor and provide benefits to the participants. APPALACHIAN 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.

After teaching middle school and high school English in Kansas and Nebraska, she returned to UNL, where she earned a master’s degree in literacy education and English (1991) and a doctorate in administration, curriculum and instruction

(1994). Everts began her higher education career in 1994 as an assistant professor in the Department of Teacher Education at the University of Nebraska Omaha. Rising through the academic and administrative ranks at UNO, she was named assistant vice chancellor for academic and student affairs in 2000, promoted to associate vice president in 2003, and named interim senior vice chancellor for academic and student affairs in 2006. She served in that interim capacity until June 30, 2008, when she left Nebraska to become provost and vice president for academic affairs at Illinois State University. In accepting her position as chancellor, Everts said, “A university campus is an amazing place of confluence where great leaders and ideas emerge for the betterment of society. Our remarkable students, faculty and staff, combined with an engaged community, make this a very special place to live and work. The passion for teaching, learning, innovation, creativity and service is palpable on this campus and each day I am renewed by our community’s dedication to making a difference in the world.”

MORE THAN A LOCATION Appalachian’s beautiful setting in the Blue Ridge Mountains is more than a location – it profoundly shapes how our community lives, works and learns together. Our commitment to sustainability is a tradition, not a trend, and Appalachian is an active steward of North Carolina’s interconnected financial, cultural and natural resources. This commitment shows in many ways, including our tuition rates, textbook rental program, commitment to energy efficiency, economic viability and equitable citizenship. Because of this and much more, Appalachian ranks No. 7 out of 592 schools in MyPlan.com’s student rankings for “Overall Satisfaction & Happiness with Choice.”

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. Boone’s accolades include National Geographic Adventure magazine’s “Best Places to Live and Play,” Outside magazine’s top 10 “Best 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 TripAdvisor’s “Hidden Gems: 13 U.S. Towns That Are Diamonds in the Rough.” Boone is also ranked the 10th safest place in North Carolina by Movoto.com and 19th in SafeWise.com’s “50 Safest Cities in North Carolina,” based on the latest FBI crime report data. 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.
