games have long been a tradition in college football and the Sun Belt has established its own bowl tradition. The league has secured ties to no fewer than five bowl games, having added three bowl games each of the last three years. In addition to the potential of the College Football Playoff, the league has guaranteed berths in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl – an honor it has held from its very first football season --, the GoDaddy Bowl in Mobile, Ala., the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl in Montgomery, Ala., the AutoNation Cure Bowl in Orlando, and the NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl in Tucson, Ariz. No football conference in NCAA history has developed that quantity of bowl partners in its first 15 years of existence. In the last four seasons, Sun Belt members have recorded 66 non-conference football wins including a record 21 wins outside the league in 2013, and league teams have won five bowl games in the last three years – two of them winning in their first-ever bowl appearance last year. The league’s success extends past football, though. When Little Rock upset fifth-seeded Purdue in the first round of last March’s NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, the Sun Belt became one of 12 leagues – out of 32 with automatic qualifiers – to have a team win a tournament game in each of the last two seasons (joining the ACC, AAC, A-10, Big 12, Big East, B1G, C-USA, MVC, SEC, WCC). The strength of any league is in its membership, and the Sun Belt adds to its strength this year with Coastal Carolina accepting an invitation to join effective July 1, 2016. The Chanticleers begin competition in all sports with the exception of football in the 2016-17 season. CCU will be bringing the reigning national championship baseball team to the conference as the Chanticleers defeated Arizona in the College World Series final this past June. CCU will immediately challenge for Sun Belt championships in baseball, but the Chanticleers also boast a men’s soccer team that is coming off of a top-25 ranked season and a second round NCAA appearance and an NCAA appearance in women’s volleyball last season. ginning in 2017 and will have the opportunity to compete for the conference championship, but will not be eligible for postseason play until the following year. Coastal Carolina joins Appalachian State, Arkansas State, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, UL Lafayette, UL Monroe, South Alabama, Texas State and Troy to give the league 10 football-playing members. Little Rock and UT Arlington compete in all sports as non-football members. That group gives the Sun Belt a mix of the “old” and the “new,” with many long-time Sun Belt institutions – South Alabama is a charter member dating back to 1976 – continuing to have success and a solid corps of conference newcomers ready to make their marks on 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 league student-athletes and staff members to experience many environments. Those same student-athletes can also experience that diversity without leaving their own campuses. For every All-Pro linebacker DeMarcus 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, Ludacris, Georgia State) and royalty (Miss America Debbye Turner, Arkansas State). These proud alumni, as well as the thousands of student-athletes and staff members at a dozen institutions, are proof that the Sun Belt Conference gains stature with every year and provides the promise of future success with every sunrise. It is a league of opportunity and a league of excitement, and “Together We Rise” has never been more true or more Sun Belt Conference appropriate.

INTRODUCTION

The Sun Belt Conference has been part of the collegiate athletics landscape for four decades, and in that time there may not be another conference that can match the Sun Belt’s innovation, vision and progressive thinking. This is, after all, the league that initiated basketball’s shot clock … the league that was the first to partner with a fledgling ESPN cable television entity that is now the “worldwide leader” … the league that went against the status quo and inaugurated football to start the century, the first already-existing Division I conference to ever take that step … and the league that is on the forefront of “new media” and internet-based advancement. The Sun Belt is all about being progressive – change for the better. The league’s embracing of innovations and advancements, its constant efforts to adapt in the ever-changing world of college athletics, and its continuing process of evolving to better serve its membership has been well documented since the day the conference was founded in 1976. But one thing hasn’t changed: Since that founding, the Sun Belt Conference has always been a league of opportunity. Athletic and academic programs who have shown progressive thinking and the desire to improve have always found a home in the Sun Belt. More importantly, opportunities exist for student-athletes in the Sun Belt in untold numbers. The league is not a member of the heralded “autonomous five” group of conferences, but it does share the table as part of the NCAA’s powerful 24-member Board of Directors. In other words, the conference has a voice in determining the future as college sports continues to change and evolve. It is a decision-maker, along with being a trail-blazer. And opportunity is not a word that the Sun Belt takes lightly. The conference is uniquely positioned to provide opportunities for its institutions and student-athletes that the “autonomous five” leagues and schools often cannot. For student-athletes, Sun Belt institutions are leaders in providing career services and the tools to assist in the pursuit of personal goals. Sun Belt members all employ full-time academic advisors and have on average more than 20 tutors for academic support. During the 2015-16 academic year, Sun Belt member institutions awarded over $50 million in scholarships to more than 3,100 student-athletes, while also providing life experiences such as team building, domestic and foreign travel, community service, mentoring, and recognition through honors and awards. Individual opportunities also extend between the lines. The Sun Belt had 40 players on active NFL rosters during the 2015 season, with representation on 23 of 32 NFL teams. Professional teams in several other sports are dotted with Sun Belt alumni. The league is an intriguing combination. It is a fixture on the national scene, involved in the conduct and competition of college athletics, but also provides chances for success on many unique and different levels.

Now, the league stands as one of the 10 premier college football leagues in the country.

APPALACHIAN STATE FOOTBALL HEAD COACH SCOTT SATTERFIELD

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

Scott Satterfield has enjoyed success at every stop of his 23-year playing and coaching career, most notably in his 20 years at Appalachian State University. In 17 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, Satterfield has led Appalachian to its first-ever Division I bowl appearance. The 20th head coach in school history has spearheaded Appalachian State’s nearly unprecedented transition from FCS to FBS. He has led the Mountaineers to victories in 17 of their last 19 games dating back to the mid-point of last season, including a Sun Belt Conference-record 11 wins in 2015. App State’s 11 victories in 2015 are also the most ever by a program in its first season of bowl eligibility after completing the transition from I-AA/FCS to I-A/FBS. Appalachian State dominated its way to this season’s 11-2 mark, winning its 11 games by an average score of 40-15 and suffering its only two losses at the hands of then-ranked No. 1 Clemson and Sun Belt champion Arkansas State. The Mountaineers’ historic season continued late into December, as they downed Ohio, 31-29, in the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl on a field goal with no time remaining after App State’s nine-play, 73-yard drive over the final 107 seconds culminated in a Zach Matics’ 23-yard game-winning field goal. Appalachian is the first team to win a bowl game in its initial season as a www.APPSTATESPORTS.com • @APPSTATESPORTS

full-fledged FBS squad. The Mountaineers ranked among the Sun Belt’s top two in 19 of the league’s 33 statistical categories and are among the top 30 in the nation in scoring offense (19th - 37.2 ppg), scoring defense (13th - 18.3 ppg), total offense (26th 470.7 ypg), total defense (12th - 318.0 ypg), rushing offense (6th - 268.8 ypg), rushing defense (28th - 133.6 ypg), pass-efficiency offense (5th - 168.54 rating) and passing defense (17th - 184.4 ypg). Thirteen Mountaineers earned all-Sun Belt recognition under Satterfield’s tutelage in 2015, including a league-high-tying five first-team honorees and the conference’s Defensive Student-Athlete of the Year, defensive end Ronald Blair. Appalachian State’s historic 2015 campaign came on the heels of a breakout season in 2014, when Satterfield led the Mountaineers to an impressive 7-5 record in their first full season in 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 play. 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).

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. 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. In all, Appalachian State is 21-15 in Satterfield’s three seasons at the helm, including a 13-3 record and second- (7-1 in 2015) and third-place (6-2 in 2014) finishes in Sun Belt play. 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). 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 www.PLAYATTHEROCK.com • @APPSTATE_FB

better than the season prior to his arrival. In two seasons at FIU, Satterfield helped lead the Golden Panthers to the first two bowl appearances in school history, including a victory over Toledo in the 2010 Little Caesars Bowl. After going 3-9 and averaging 321 yards of offense the year prior to his arrival, FIU won 15 games and averaged 380 yards in Satterfield’s two seasons as offensive coordinator. Before his first three seasons in the NCAA Division I FBS ranks, Satterfield spent the first 11 seasons of his coaching career at Appalachian State, mentoring the Mountaineers’ wide receivers (1998), running backs (1999-2002) and quarterbacks (2003-08). He was an integral part of Appalachian’s transition from a power-I to a spread offense in 2004 and the five record-setting offensive campaigns that followed. With Satterfield serving as the Mountaineers’ primary play-caller, Appalachian ranked among the nation’s top 20 in the five major offensive statistical categories (scoring, rushing, passing, passing efficiency and total offense) 17 out of a possible 25 times from 2004-08, highlighted by an explosive 2007

campaign when the Mountaineers led the nation with a school-record 488.3 yards of total offense per game. As Appalachian State’s quarterbacks coach, Satterfield has overseen the development of the most prolific signal-callers in school history. Most notably, he coached both Richie Williams (2003-05) 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 1,000yard rusher (Jimmy Watkins — 2001) and the 11th-leading rusher in school history (Jerry Beard — 2000-02). As a student-athlete 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.

COACHES AND STAFF

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

APPALACHIAN STATE FOOTBALL ASSISTANT COACHES NATE WOODY DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR/OUTSIDE LBs FOURTH SEASON AT APPALACHIAN STATE 26th SEASON OVERALL ALMA MATER: WOFFORD, 1984 Nate Woody is in his fourth season as Appalachian State’s defensive coordinator and his third year coaching the Mountaineers’ outside linebackers. In three seasons, Woody oversaw 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 top-ranked unit in the Division I FBS Sun Belt Conference in 2014 and 2015 and a topranked unit nationally in 2015. After yielding just 347.5 yards per game in 2014, the defense clamped down on opponents even further in 2015 to allow just 314.5 yards per game, good for the No. 1 defense in the Sun Belt and 11th nationally. Since helming the defense, Woody’s 3-4 unit has been impressive in its play against the Sun Belt Conference. Being No. 1 or 2 in the first two years, they’ve held Sun Belt foes to less than 300 yards of total offense in 10 games. The tightened grip on opponents led to a six-game winning streak to close the 2014 season that extended four conference games into 2015. With only one conference loss in 2015, the Mountaineers became the first team in conference history to win 11 games in a season. Individually, outside linebacker Devan Stringer earned honorable-mention all-Sun Belt recognition as he exploded in his second year, almost doubling his total tackles to 60 with 34 solo takedowns. Kennan Gilchrist had a successful junior campaign, finishing fourth in total tackles on the Mountaineers with 61 (39 solo). 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, the Mountaineers linebacking crew has cleaned up in postseason accolades, most recently with four all-Sun Belt awards in 2015. The linebackers’ award season was highlighted by John Law receiving the 2015 Sun Belt Defensive Student-Athlete of the Year award after being named NCAA Division I FCS freshman all-American in 2013. 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.

SHAWN CLARK CO-OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR/OFF. LINE FIRST SEASON AT APPALACHIAN STATE 17th SEASON OVERALL ALMA MATER: APPALACHIAN STATE, 1999 Shawn Clark, a former All-American at Appalachian State and 15-year college football coaching veteran, has returned to his alma mater as the Mountaineers’ co-offensive coordinator (running game) and offensive line coach. Since wrapping up his All-America playing career at Appalachian in 1998, Clark has coached at Louisville (graduate assistant - 2001-02), Eastern Kentucky (offensive line - 2003-08), Purdue (offensive line - 2009-12) and, most recently, Kent State (2013-15). After serving as run game coordinator/offensive line coach for his first two seasons at Kent State, Clark was promoted to assistant head coach/offensive line coach in 2015. With Clark at the helm of the offensive front, the Golden Flashes ranked among the nation’s top 35 in fewest sacks allowed all three seasons, including in 2015, when they ranked 12th nationally with just 13 sacks surrendered. In four seasons at Purdue, Clark helped lead the Boilermakers to two bowl appearances and a win in the 2011 Little Caesars Bowl. He coached seven all-Big Ten performers and three National Football League draft picks at Purdue and oversaw a running game that produced 200 yards on the ground in five-straight games in 2010, a feat that occurred only twice before in school history. The Boilermakers also rushed for at least 100 yards 11 times in 2011, en route to their Little Caesars Bowl victory. Prior to his four-year stint at Purdue, Clark coached three future NFL players, three NCAA Division I FCS all-Americans and nine all-Ohio Valley Conference honorees in six seasons at Eastern Kentucky. With Clark on staff, EKU won back-to-back OVC championships in 2007 and 2008, made two FCS playoff appearances and compiled a 43-26 overall record. Clark began his coaching career with two seasons as a graduate assistant at Louisville. The Cardinals went 18-8 in his two seasons on staff, winning the 2001 Conference USA championship and appearing in the 2001 Liberty Bowl and 2002 GMAC Bowl. Clark was a two-time all-American (1996 and ‘98) and three-time all-Southern Conference selection (1995, ‘96 and ‘98) as an offensive guard at Appalachian State from 1994-98. A four-year starter, Clark entered the lineup as a true freshman in 1994 and earned third-team Associated Press All-America honors as a junior in 1996. He missed the entire 1997 season due to injury but returned as a fifth-year senior in 1998 and was named a first-team Walter Camp all-American. Clark graduated from Appalachian State in 1998 with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice. He earned a master’s degree in education from Louisville in 2003. Clark’s wife, Jonelle, was a standout softball student-athlete at Eastern Kentucky and was inducted into EKU’s Athletics Hall of Fame in 2008. The Clarks have two children: a daughter, Giana, and a son, Braxton.

FRANK PONCE CO-OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR/QBs FOURTH SEASON AT APPALACHIAN STATE 10th SEASON OVERALL ALMA MATER: FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL, 1997 Frank Ponce is in his fourth season as Appalachian State’s co-offensive coordinator for the passing game and quarterbacks coach. Inexperienced quarterbacks have flourished under Ponce in his first three seasons at Appalachian State. Since handing the reins of quarterback to freshman Taylor Lamb three games into the 2014 season, Lamb has gone on to lead the Sun Belt Conference in passing efficiency two years straight and, after ranking third among all freshman in the NCAA Division I FBS, he ranked No. 10 nationally with a 160.7 pass-efficiency rating and was the highest rated sophomore. Working with Ponce, Lamb has set several Appalachian State records, including freshman passing yards (2,381) and touchdown passes (17) by a freshman during his Sun Belt Freshman of the Year campaign and, in 2015, most touchdown passes in a season (31). As a team, Ponce’s aerial attack ranked No. 1 in the Sun Belt in passing efficiency (163.2), good for seventh-best nationally, en route to the No. 2 best red zone offense in the conference. 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 www.APPSTATESPORTS.com • @APPSTATESPORTS

BRYAN BROWN CORNERBACKS FIFTH SEASON AT APPALACHIAN STATE NINTH SEASON OVERALL ALMA MATER: OLE MISS, 2006 Bryan Brown is in his fifth season as Appalachian State’s cornerbacks coach. In just four seasons at Appalachian State, Brown’s cornerbacks have combined to intercept 30 passes, including 15 in 2015 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, Latrell Gibbs led the Sun Belt Conference in interceptions with seven total for 149 yards and two touchdowns. Gibbs’ efforts garnered him recognition on the first team all-Sun Belt defensive team. Also under Brown’s tutelage, Demetrius McCray led the Southern Conference with four interceptions in 2012. McCray went on to join the National Football League as a seventh-round draft pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2013. 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, a four-year football letterwinner at Appalachian State from 1992-95, is in his fifth season as an assistant coach at his alma mater. After coaching the Mountaineers’ outside linebackers during his first two seasons, Ivey is in his third year as Appalachian’s defensive line coach. In his two seasons as defensive line coach, Ivey’s defensive linemen have combined for more than 33 sacks and 75 tackles for loss. Ronald Blair, flourished under Ivey’s tutelage, ranking No. 1 in the Sun Belt for tackles-for-loss with 19 for 89 yards, and No. 2 in sacks (seven). The career-best season for Blair earned him the Sun Belt’s Defensive Student-Athlete of the Year award. With the flourishing finish to college, Blair was selected in the fifth round, with the 142nd pick in the NFL Draft, by the San Francisco 49ers. 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 from 2012-13, 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 the 1995 Southern Conference championship. In all, he started 28 games at defensive tackle and was a part of four NCAA Division I-AA playoff teams during his collegiate career. A native of Collinsville, Va., Ivey was an all-district and all-region gridiron performer at Martinsville H.S. He made 230 tackles over his final two prep seasons and was also a two-time district champion in wrestling and an all-district and all-region honoree in baseball. Ivey graduated from Appalachian State in 1996 with a bachelor’s degree in industrial technology (furniture production concentration). In addition to coaching, he also taught math, computer-aided drafting and materials and processing in his 16 years in high-school education. Ivey and his wife, Rosa, have three daughters: Britini, Maggie and Gabriella.

DALE JONES INSIDE LINEBACKERS 21st SEASON AT APPALACHIAN STATE 27th SEASON OVERALL ALMA MATER: TENNESSEE, 1988

Dale Jones is in his 21st season at Appalachian State. Jones, who has served stints as defensive and special-teams coordinator and defensive-line and linebackers coach during his 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). He once again directed App State’s defensive line in 2013 before taking over the inside linebackers last year. Player development has been a staple of Jones’ tenure at Appalachian State. During his 20 seasons at Appalachian, he has coached 11 all-America defensive linemen and linebackers, including five two-time honorees. He has also mentored 20 all-conference performers that have earned the recognition a total of 32 times while four of his pupils — Josh Jeffries (2002), K.T. Stovall (2003), Jacque Roman (2008) and Jeremy Kimbrough (2012) — have been named the Southern Conference’s Defensive Player of the Year. After being named second-team all-Sun Belt in 2014, John Law improved upon this mark in 2015 by being named first team all-Sun Belt defense. 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.

APPALACHIAN STATE FOOTBALL ASSISTANT COACHES SCOT SLOAN SECONDARY/RECRUITING COORDINATOR SEVENTH SEASON AT APPALACHIAN STATE 21st SEASON OVERALL ALMA MATER: CLEMSON, 1992 A 21-year college coaching veteran, Scot Sloan is in his seventh season as Appalachian State’s secondary coach. Sloan has also served as Appalachian’s recruiting coordinator since 2012. In his six 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. For two-straight seasons, Sloan’s secondary played a big part in Appalachian State’s defense being the top-ranked unit in the Sun Belt Conference. The Appalachian defensive backs accounted for 12 of the team’s 18 interceptions in 2015, including seven from Latrell Gibbs while returning a pair of interceptions for touchdowns. Gibbs went first team All-Sun Belt while senior safety Doug Middleton was All-Sun Belt Honorable Mention, finishing the year with 53 stops, a tackle for loss, three pass breakups and three pass deflections. Appalachian finished tied for 12th in the nation in interceptions and first in the SBC. Four of the top-10 tackles leaders from 2015 were defensive backs in Alex Gray, A.J. Howard, Middleton and Gibbs. 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 SECOND SEASON AT APPALACHIAN STATE 16th SEASON OVERALL ALMA MATER: CLEMSON, 2000 Justin Watts, a 15-year Division I coaching veteran, is in his second season as Appalachian State’s wide receivers coach. In just his first year, Watts helped send a veteran receiving core out on high notes despite not being a heavy passing team. Senior Simms McElfresh led the way with 466 yards and six touchdowns and was just ahead of senior Malachi Jones, who had 463 yards and three touchdowns. Rounding out the over-400-yards club, sophomore Sheadon Meadors had a break out year, getting 439 yards off 21 completions for three touchdowns. With a diverse set of options through the air, Taylor Lamb threw a school-record 31 touchdown passes last season and ranked No. 1 in passing efficiency in the Sun Belt and 10th nationally with a 160.7 rating. Watts came 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.

STU HOLT RUNNING BACKS SECOND SEASON AT APPALACHIAN STATE 20th SEASON OVERALL ALMA MATER: NORTH CAROLINA, 1995 Stu Holt, a western North Carolina native and 20-year coaching veteran, is in his second season as Appalachian State’s running backs coach and his first year as the special teams coordinator. In Holt’s debut season, the Mountaineers were led by junior Marcus Cox, who continued his record-setting career by finishing with 1,418 yards – good for 17th in the nation and third in the Sun Belt. Cox again topped national and conference rankings with 118.6 yards per game (13th national; 3rd Sun Belt) and all-purpose yards (132.2 yards per game), ranking second in the Sun Belt and 20th in the nation. With Holt helming the ground game, Appalachian State finished No. 6 in the nation and second in the Sun Belt with 271.5 yards of rushing offense. A heavy and successful running attack also helped the Mountaineers lead the Sun Belt Conference in total offensive yards with 466.2 yards per game, good also for 20th nationally. Holt came to Appalachian State after two seasons at the University of South Florida, where he was serving as the Bulls’ tight ends coach and special-teams coordinator. He arrived at USF as director of player personnel in 2013 before taking over as special-teams coordinator prior to the ‘13 season. He added oversight of the Bulls’ tight ends to his duties in 2014. In 2013, Holt was nominated for the Broyles Award (National Assistant Coach of the Year) after USF’s special teams improved in nearly every statistical category despite having to replace its starting place kicker and punter from the previous season. Under Holt’s tutelage, USF’s special teams were ranked No. 3 nationally by ESPN Stats Info. The Bulls led the American Athletic Conference and ranked No. 9 nationally in punt returns (14.44-yard average) and first-year place kicker Marvin Kloss was one of three finalists for the Lou Groza Award (national kicker of the year). USF’s special teams continued to excel under Holt in 2014, when punter Mattias Ciabatti set a school record with a 44.4-yard punting average. The first-team all-conference selection led the AAC with 22 punts downed inside the 20 and 18 boots of 50 yards or more. Before his stint at USF, Holt spent eight of the previous nine seasons at Western Kentucky, first as running backs coach (2004-09) and later as tackles/tight ends coach (2011-12). He also coordinated the Hilltoppers’ special teams in 2005 and ‘09 before capping a seven-year stint coaching running backs with one season at Tennessee State (2010). In seven seasons as a running backs coach, Holt has produced impressive ground attacks and individual rushers. His units ranked among the NCAA Division I FCS top 25 in rushing twice — 14th at WKU in 2004 (226.2 ypg) and 24th at Tennessee State in 2010 (190.0 ypg). Additionally, he coached two 1,000-yard rushers at WKU (Lerron Moore and Tyrell Hayden). Moore finished www.APPSTATESPORTS.com • @APPSTATESPORTS

APPALACHIAN STATE FOOTBALL GAME 1 • SEPTEMBER 5 vs. HOWARD

2015 IN REVIEW

HOWARD 0 APPALACHIAN STATE 49 SCORING SUMMARY BISON (0-1) MOUNTAINEERS (1-0)

1 2 3 4 F 0 0 0 0 — 0 7 21 21 0 — 49

ATTENDANCE: 24,314 BOONE, N.C. –– Taylor Lamb threw for a career-high-tying three touchdowns, Marcus Cox ran for 105 yards on just 11 carries and Appalachian State University’s defense pitched its third shutout on 12 games in a 49-0 victory over Howard in the 2015 season opener at Kidd Brewer Stadium. Appalachian State (1-0) outgained Howard (0-1) by a whopping 663-172 margin en route to its seventh-straight victory. The Mountaineers have not been on the losing end of a decision in 329 days and their seven-game winning streak is currently tied for the fourth-longest in NCAA Division I FBS (Memphis, which brought a seven-game winning streak into the 2015 campaign, hosts Missouri State on Saturday night). After surrendering 68 yards over Howard’s first two possessions, Appalachian’s defense allowed only 104 yards the rest of the game to become the first Mountaineer team in 16 years to shut out an opponent three times in as few as 12 games. The Mountaineers recorded three shutouts over an eight-game stretch spanning the 1998-99 seasons. Offensively, Appalachian State scored touchdowns on four of its first five possessions to grab a commanding 28-0 halftime lead. After Lamb tossed his third touchdown pass of the day to cap the opening series of the second half, Appalachian pulled its starters from the game. However, redshirt freshman J.P. Caruso engineered back-to-back scoring drives on the first two series of his career to stretch the Mountaineers’ lead to 49-0 with 1:29 still left to play in the third quarter. Lamb’s sterling day included touchdown passes of five yards to junior tight end Barrett Burns, 50 yards to sophomore wide receiver Shaedon Meadors and 20 yards to senior wideout Simms McElfresh. The reigning Sun Belt Conference Freshman of the Year finished 16-of-21 for 209 yards and the career-high-tying three touchdowns, despite playing only one series in the second half. His 206.93 passer rating was a career high, surpassing his previous best mark of 198.16, set in last season’s finale versus Idaho. Cox’s 105 yards came on just 11 carries and included a 68-yard touchdown run, the second-longest of his career. The 100-yard rushing effort was his 15th in 25 career games and moved him into a tie with Chip Hooks (1991-94), who was inducted into Appalachian’s Athletics Hall of Fame on Saturday, for the fifth-most 100-yard rushing games in school history. Cox (9.5 ypr) was one of six Mountaineers that averaged at least 7.0 yards per rush on Saturday, joining McElfresh (17.0), Caruso (10.2), Lamb (10.2), redshirt freshman running back Jalin Moore (7.1) and senior running back Ricky Fergerson (7.0). McElfresh scored his first of two touchdowns on a 17-yard run in the second quarter and Moore scored the first touchdown of his career on a seven-yard run in the third period. Twelve different Mountaineers caught passes, led by Meadors (4 rec., 64 yds.) and McElfresh (4 rec., 51 yards). Sophomore Ike Lewis hauled in a 37-yard touchdown pass in the third period. Inside linebackers Eric Boggs and John Law led App State’s stout defensive effort with nine and eight tackles, respectively. The Mountaineers amassed seven tackles for loss, led by senior defensive end Ronald Blair’s one-and-ahalf. Sophomore cornerback Latrell Gibbs had Appalachian’s lone takeaway on an acrobatic interception in the third quarter. NOTES: Opening the season at home for the first time in 14 years, Appalachian State won its season opener for the first time since a 42-41 triumph at Chattanooga on Sept. 4, 2010 ... despite being just 4-10 in its last 14 season openers, Appalachian moved to 48-35-3 all-time in lid-lifters ... the Mountaineers also moved to 63-20-2 all-time in home openers, including a sterling 26-2 mark when opening the campaign at home ... the shutout was App State’s first in a season opener since a 7-0 win over Emory & Henry on Sept. 17, 1960 ... with a crowd of 24,314, Appalachian’s attendance surpassed Kidd Brewer’s seating capacity (23,150) for 55th time in the last 59 games ... the Mountaineers moved to 72-14 in their last 86 home games.

2016

APPALACHIAN STATE FOOTBALL GAME 2 • SEPTEMBER 12 at CLEMSON

ATTENDANCE: 81,467 CLEMSON, S.C. — Interceptions on three-straight series early in the game squelched Appalachian State University football’s upset hopes in a 41-10 loss at No. 12 Clemson at Memorial Stadium. Trailing just 3-0 late in the first quarter, Appalachian State (1-1) had the ball on the Clemson 24-yard line after a beautifully executed screen pass from Taylor Lamb to Terrence Upshaw. However, Clemson (2-0) would go on to intercept three of Lamb’s next four passes to turn what might have been a 7-3 Mountaineer lead into a 17-0 deficit in the span of just 6:29. Clemson’s first interception came on the play immediately following Upshaw’s long gain on the screen pass. Lamb escaped what looked like a sure sack and threw on the run to tight end Barrett Burns in the end zone. Six-footfive Clemson safety Jayron Kearse trailed Burns by several yards when the ball was thrown but made up the ground and made an incredible leaping interception to keep the Tigers’ 3-0 advantage intact. Appalachian’s defense forced a punt after Kearse’s interception but three plays into the ensuing drive, defensive tackle Carlos Watkins dropped into coverage and picked off a pass intended for Simms McElfresh in the middle of the field. After his first-career interception, Watkins rumbled 15 yards for a touchdown to give the Tigers a 10-0 lead. Two plays later, Clemson linebacker Ben Boulware intercepted a pass to give Clemson the ball at the Appalachian 27-yard line. The Tigers needed only three plays to make the Mountaineers pay for their third miscue, as Charone Peake hauled in a 24-yard touchdown pass from Deshaun Watson to stretch Clemson’s lead to 17-0. App State’s defense, which was spectacular for much of the afternoon, would give up two more touchdowns in the second quarter and Clemson took a commanding 31-0 halftime lead. The Mountaineers’ taxed defense withered late in the first half, as it was on the field for a whopping 18:57 before halftime, including 9:37 in the second period alone. Clemson extended the lead to 38-0 early in the second half before the Mountaineers battled to make the final outcome respectable. Appalachian State got on the board late in the third quarter on a 31-yard field goal by Zach Matics and scoring its lone touchdown one possession later when Lamb found Burns for a one-yard touchdown pass to cap an eightplay, 80-yard drive. Aside from the second quarter, the Mountaineers played evenly with the 12th-ranked Tigers for much of the afternoon. Clemson finished the day with a 392-298 advantage in total yardage, but the majority of the damage came in the second period, when the Tigers outgained the Mountaineers191-38. The story of the day was Clemson’s magnificent pass defense. The Tigers limited Appalachian to just 95 yards through the air, which was App State’s lowest passing total since it managed only 98 passing yards during a driving snowstorm in a 44-0 win over Georgia State on Nov. 1 of last season. The last time that the Mountaineers failed to reach the 100-yard passing mark during normal weather conditions was on Sept. 6, 2008 when it threw for only 92 yards in a 56-7 rout over Jacksonville (App State passed for just 47 yards during another snowstorm against Western Illinois on Dec. 4, 2010). Additionally, App State was intercepted three times for the first time since a 66-13 loss at No. 13 Virginia Tech on Sept. 3, 2011. Coincidentally, that was the Mountaineers’ last game against a nationally ranked NCAA Division I FBS squad and an Atlantic Coast Conference opponent prior to Saturday. Appalachian State enjoyed some success on the ground, rushing for 203 yards. Junior Marcus Cox reached the 100-yard plateau for the 16th time in 26 career games, finishing with 104 yards on 25 carries. Upshaw added 69 yards on 11 rushes (6.3 avg.) to go along with his 27-yard reception. Defensively, senior defensive lineman Ronald Blair tallied a game-high eight tackles, including a career-hightying two sacks. Sophomore cornerback Latrell Gibbs and junior inside linebacker John Law each had interceptions for the Mountaineers. Playing just five days after the sudden death of his 11-day-old daughter, Noelle, outside linebacker Devan Stringer recorded six tackles. NOTES: The loss snapped Appalachian State’s seven-game winning streak, which was the fifth-longest in FBS ... Appalachian went 336 days between losses ... the Mountaineers’ previous last loss was a 55-48 overtime defeat versus Liberty on Oct. 11, 2014 ... Appalachian State fell to 0-5 all-time versus Clemson ... Cox became the seventh studentathlete in App State history with 2,800 career rushing yards ... in 26-career games, Cox has rushed for 2,874 yards ... Saturday’s sellout crowd of 81,467 at Memorial Stadium was the seventh-largest to ever see Appalachian State play ... the Mountaineers fell to 1-12 all-time versus nationally ranked FBS opponents ... App State has not beaten a nationally ranked FBS squad since its historic 34-32 win over No. 5 Michigan on Sept. 1, 2007.

49 0

1 2 3 4 F 7 28 14 0 — 49 0 0 0 0 — 0

ATTENDANCE: 20,118 NORFOLK, Va. — Appalachian State University football outgained Old Dominion, 501-175, and handed the Monarchs their first-ever shutout in a 49-0 romp at rainy Foreman Field. The shutout win was Appalachian State’s second in three games this season and its fourth in its last 14 games overall. However, it had been 16 years since the Mountaineers’ last road shutout at The Citadel in 1999 (51-0 on Sept. 25, 1999). Terrence Upshaw opened the scoring with a six-yard touchdown run late in the first quarter but the tide of the game turned in the second period when Taylor Lamb threw three of his career-best four touchdown passes and linebacker Devan Stringer returned a fumble 77 yards for a score to help the Mountaineers grab a commanding 35-0 halftime lead. Bobo Beathard, Shaedon Meadors and Marcus Cox hauled in touchdown passes of 53, 41 and 24 yards from Lamb in the second quarter but the highlight of the period came when Stringer scooped up a fumble by Old Dominion quarterback Shuler Bentley and showed game-breaking speed to pull away from all 11 Monarchs. The 77yard touchdown was the first of the sophomore’s career. In all, Appalachian State (2-1) scored on four of its six offensive possessions and outgained ODU (2-2), 296-116, en route to the 35-0 halftime lead. After the break, the Mountaineers picked up where they left off in the first half, as a one-yard touchdown catch by tight end Hunter Nunn and a 22-yard touchdown run by Jalin Moore stretched the advantage to 49-0 and signaled the end of the day for most of App State’s starters with more than four minutes still to go in the third quarter. While Appalachian State took the foot off the pedal offensively in the final 19 minutes of the ballgame, the defense kept the Monarchs off the board to preserve the shutout. In fact, the Mountaineers’ defense was even more stingy in the second half than it was in the first, limiting ODU to just 59 yards after the break. Linebacker John Law led the defensive effort with a team-best seven tackles, a tackle for loss and his second interception of the season. Defensive end Nate Norwood added six stops, including a sack and one-and-a-half tackles for loss, and cornerback Latrell Gibbs picked off his third pass in as many games this season. Appalachian’s defense limited ODU running back Ray Lawry, the nation’s No. 4-leading rusher, to 22 yards on eight carries (129 yards below his 151.0-yard average coming in). One game after throwing a career-high three interceptions during a four-pass stretch at No. 12 Clemson, Lamb was nearly flawless in a steady rain on Saturday. The sophomore completed 11-of-15 passes without an interception for 187 yards and the career-high four touchdowns in less than three quarters of work. His 266.05 pass-efficiency rating shattered his previous career high of 206.93 set in the Mountaineers’ season-opening win versus Howard. Cox rushed for 107 yards on 23 carries and a score to go along with his 24-yard touchdown reception. The 100-yard rushing effort was the junior’s sixth-straight and his 17th in 27 career games. He also moved into sixth on Appalachian State’s all-time rushing list with 2,976 career yards. Meadors and Beathard led the Mountaineers’ receiving corps with 68 and 60 yards, respectively. Both totals came on only two receptions and included a touchdown catch. Appalachian State returns home for the first time in a month next Saturday when it hosts Mountain West Conference opponent Wyoming. Kickoff for the homecoming contest at Kidd Brewer Stadium is set for 3:30 p.m. NOTES: Appalachian State’s 35-0 halftime lead was its largest in a road game since it led 35-0 at the half at Chattanooga on Oct. 7, 2006 ... prior to Saturday, Old Dominion had never been shutout in an opening half, much less an entire game ... the margin of defeat was ODU’s biggest ever at home, surpassing its 42-point home loss at the hands of Conference USA champion Marshall on Oct. 4 of last season (56-14) ... the win was the first by a Sun Belt Conference team over a C-USA opponent since UL Lafayette beat Tulane, 24-21, in the 2013 R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl ... Appalachian moved to 20-13 all-time versus current members of C-USA ... however, the win was the Mountaineers’ first-ever over an active member of C-USA — App State was 0-3 previously against teams that were C-USA members at the time of the contest (29-24 and 35-13 losses at East Carolina in 2009 and 2012, respectively, and a 21-20 loss at Southern Miss last season) ... Stringer’s 77-yard scoop-and-score was Appalachian State’s first defensive touchdown of the season ... all three passes caught by App State tight ends this season have been touchdowns (Barrett Burns – 2 ; Nunn – 1).

SCORING SUMMARY COWBOYS (0-5) MOUNTAINEERS (3-1) ATTENDANCE: 19,345

BOONE, N.C. — Behind a slew of big plays in all three phases of the game, Appalachian State University football earned a workman-like 31-13 homecoming victory over Wyoming at water-logged Kidd Brewer Stadium. Appalachian State (3-1) got all the scoring it would need in the first 4:55 of the ballgame, as it took a 14-0 lead on Marcus Cox’s 59-yard touchdown run on the first play from scrimmage and Latrell Gibbs’ 91-yard interception return seven snaps later. However, the Mountaineers’ biggest play of the game likely came on a six-yard run by their kicker with less than 30 seconds to go in the first half. Despite the Mountaineers’ early 14-0 advantage, Wyoming dominated the action for much of the first half, holding the ball for 21:58 and cutting App State’s lead to 14-7 on a two-yard touchdown run by Brian Hill early in the second period. The Cowboys were threatening to tie the ballgame late in the second quarter when they took over deep in Appalachian territory after an interception. However, on fourth-and-one from the Mountaineers’ 20 yard line, linebacker Osvaldo Sombo recovered a fumble by Wyoming quarterback Cameron Coffman to stall the scoring threat. Thanks primarily to a 38-yard pass from Taylor Lamb to Shaedon Meadors, Appalachian State drove 54 yards in three plays to the Wyoming 24-yard line but appeared to settle for a field goal when Zach Matics lined up for a field goal on fourth-and-five with 24 seconds to go in the half. However, after a timeout, Appalachian rolled the dice and came away with perhaps its biggest play of the season to date. Still lined up for a field goal, holder Bentlee Critcher took the snap and rolled right. He was stopped in the backfield by two Wyoming defenders but as he was going to the ground, he tossed an option pitch to Matics, who picked up six yards for the first down on the perfectly executed fake field goal. On the very next play, the gamble paid dividends, as Lamb threw a beautiful pass to Simms McElfresh in the corner of the end zone for an 18-yard touchdown that gave the Mountaineers a commanding 21-7 halftime lead. After a taxing first half, it was all Appalachian State after the break. The Mountaineers stretched their advantage to 28-7 on Lamb’s nine-yard touchdown run on its first possession of the second half and made it 31-7 on Matics’ career-long 51-yard field goal with 3:06 to go in the ballgame. Wyoming (0-5) scored the final points of the game on an eight-yard touchdown pass from Coffman to Josh Tapscott with 44 seconds remaining but botched the snap on the extra-point attempt to account for the final margin. While Appalachian controlled the scoreboard from the outset, Wyoming held the statistical advantage throughout the afternoon. The Cowboys outgained the Mountaineers, 373-314, including a 155-65 advantage through the air, but the most glaring edges came in time of possession (37:54-22:06) and total plays (70-46). App State ran fewer than 50 plays in a contest for the first time since it had just 44 snaps in its 16-15 victory over Furman on Oct. 12, 2002 (the famous “Miracle on the Mountain” game). However, the Mountaineers made the most of their 46 snaps, averaging 6.8 yards per play (compared to 5.3 for Wyoming) and picked up 10 yards or more seven times. As has been the case for much of the last two-plus seasons, Cox led the way for Appalachian State, rushing for a season-high 178 yards on just 15 carries (11.9 avg.). The 100-yard effort was his seventh-straight and 18th in 28 career games. In the process, the junior became the sixth student-athlete in school history to reach the 3,000-yard rushing plateau, upping his career total to 3,154 yards. Appalachian State’s defense also proved to be opportunistic with three takeaways, four sacks (for 43 yards) and 10 tackles for loss (for 58 yards). The defense’s big-play proficiency overcame a 208-yard effort on the ground by Hill, who became the first player to rush for 200 yards against the Mountaineers since Chattanooga’s Eldra Buckley went for 210 yards all the way back on Oct. 29, 2005. Linebacker John Law led the way defensively with 13 tackles, two-and-a-half tackles for loss and a sack. Gibbs had five stops to go along with his 91-yard interception return, which was the fifth-longest in school history and the first INT return for a touchdown by a Mountaineer since Doug Middleton had a 52-yard return for a score against Campbell on Sept. 6 of last season. Gibbs’ interception was his fourth in four games this season. NOTES: A steady, and sometimes heavy, rain fell throughout the game as part of a deluge that had dumped 15-plus inches of rain on the High Country over the past 10 days ... Appalachian State moved to 39-13-2 all-time in homecoming games played at Kidd Brewer Stadium but snapped a two-game skid in homecoming contests ... the Mountaineers scored on their first offensive play for the third time in their last 11 games ... Cox’s seven-straight 100yard rushing games are two shy of the school record of nine-straight compiled by John Settle in 1986 ... his 18-career 100-yard rushing efforts are tied for fourth in program history with Armanti Edwards (2006-09) ... Settle holds the school record with 22 rushing games in his career (1983-86) ... Appalachian won for the ninth time in 10 games and claimed its fifth-straight home victory ... the game was App State’s first-ever non-conference home game versus an NCAA Division I FBS opponent ... the win was the Mountaineers’ first-ever over an opponent from the Mountain West Conference.

2015 IN REVIEW

APPALACHIAN STATE GEORGIA STATE

37 3

SCORING SUMMARY 1 2 3 4 F MOUNTAINEERS (4-1, 1-0) 17 3 10 7 — 37 PANTHERS (1-4, 1-1) 0 3 0 0 — 3 ATTENDANCE: 10,101 ATLANTA — Appalachian State University football opened Sun Belt Conference play in style with a 37-3 romp over Georgia State at the Georgia Dome. Appalachian State (4-1, 1-0 Sun Belt) outgained Georgia State (1-4, 1-1 Sun Belt) by a 498-225 margin en route to its seventh-straight Sun Belt victory and its 10th win in the last 11 games overall. The impressive performance was highlighted by air supremacy on both sides of the ball. The Mountaineers threw for a season-high 314 yards offensively and limited the nation’s 12th-ranked passing attack to just 166 yards through the air defensively. Appalachian’s advantage on both sides of the passing game was even more pronounced when considering that it attempted just 28 passes, compared to 39 for GSU. The Mountaineers averaged 11.2 yards per pass attempt and 15.0 yards per completion, compared to just 4.3 yards per attempt and 7.9 yards per completion for the Panthers. The tone of the game was set on the very first play from scrimmage when Appalachian State quarterback Taylor Lamb connected with Malachi Jones for a 45-yard gain and the first of four completions of 20 yards or more for the Mountaineers in the first half alone. The long completion on the game’s first play also set the stage for a first quarter that saw Appalachian score on each of its first three possessions and outgain Georgia State, 199-19, and take a commanding 17-0 lead. For all intents and purposes, the Mountaineers put the game away during the opening period, as Georgia State was never able to find any sustained success against Appalachian State’s defense. In 12 defensive series, Appalachian forced GSU to punt eight times and recorded an interception, a fumble recover and a turnover on downs. Sixty-seven of the Panthers’ 225 total yards came on the final drive of the first half when they kicked a 25-yard field goal for their only points. The defensive effort was so dominant that App State’s defense scored more points (7) than it allowed (3). Once again, it was cornerback Latrell Gibbs that made the big defensive play for the Mountaineers, returning an interception 47 yards for a touchdown to close the scoring midway through the fourth quarter. Outside linebacker Devan Stringer drilled GSU quarterback Nick Arbuckle as he attempted to throw and Gibbs plucked the floating ball out of the air near the line of scrimmage, hurdled a would-be tackler and raced untouched for his second touchdown in as many weeks. Gibbs’ interception was his fifth of the season, as he has picked off a pass in every game. Atlanta native John Law led Appalachian with seven tackles (all solo), including a sack and two tackles for loss. Nate Norwood chipped with two sacks and four total tackles. Offensively, Lamb led the way by accounting for 367 of the Mountaineers’ 498 yards of total offense. He completed 21-of-27 passes for 317 yards and three scores — a 29-yarder to Bobo Beathard, a nine-yarder to Levi Duffield and a 30-yarder to Shaedon Meadors. Lamb also ran for a season-high 53 yards on just four carries, headlined by a 41-yard run that sparked a field-goal drive late in the first half. Eleven different student-athletes caught a pass from Lamb, led by Jones, who recorded the second 100-yard game of his career with 102 yards on just three receptions. Despite a concerted effort by Georgia State to stymie the Mountaineers’ potent running game, running back Marcus Cox still managed 76 rushing yards on 19 carries. However, Cox saw his string of 100-yard rushing games snapped at seven, just two shy of the school record of nine-consecutive 100-yard games set by John Settle in 1986. Appalachian State continues Sun Belt play next week at UL Monroe. Game time is set for 7 p.m. ET/6 p.m. CT at Malone Stadium in Monroe, La. NOTES: Appalachian State place kicker Zach Matics was a perfect 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts from 45, 22 and 39 yards ... the three field goals doubled the number of field goals that the senior had made in his career coming into Saturday’s game ... Matics is the first Mountaineer to kick three field goals in a game since current Detroit Lion Sam Martin made four against Furman on Nov. 11, 2012 ... in two all-time games against Georgia State, Appalachian has outscored GSU, 81-3, and outgained the Panthers, 1,065-287 ... App State’s 291 passing yards were its most in 11 games, dating back to its 397 passing yards against Liberty on Oct. 11, 2014 ... Jones became the first Mountaineer with 100 receiving yards since he accomplished the feat with 105 last season against Liberty ... Duffield’s touchdown reception came on the first catch of his career.

APPALACHIAN STATE FOOTBALL GAME 6 • OCTOBER 17 at UL MONROE

59 14 2015 IN REVIEW

SCORING SUMMARY 1 2 3 4 OT F MOUNTAINEERS (5-1, 2-0) 10 14 21 14 — 59 WARHAWKS (1-5, 0-2) 7 7 0 0 — 14 ATTENDANCE: 11,767 MONROE, La. — Buoyed by a goal-line stand late in the first half, Appalachian State University football shook off a sluggish start to rout UL Monroe, 59-14, at Malone Stadium. The victory sets up a mammoth Sun Belt Conference matchup between Appalachian State (5-1, 2-0 Sun Belt) and longtime rival Georgia Southern (5-1, 3-0 Sun Belt) on Thursday night at Kidd Brewer Stadium in Boone, N.C. The showdown kicks off at 7:30 p.m. and will be televised live on ESPNU. Unlike its previous three wins this season, Appalachian State did not dominate from the outset on Saturday. Buoyed by a strong air attack, UL Monroe (1-5, 0-2 Sun Belt) led 7-0 less than four minutes into the game, retook a 1410 lead early in the second quarter and appeared poised to regain the advantage again when it drove all the way to the Appalachian four yard line, trailing 17-10, with less than six minutes to go before halftime. However, on fourth-and-two from the Mountaineers’ four, ULM chose to not settle for a game-tying field goal. That proved to be an ill-fated decision for the Warhawks, as Devan Stringer and Alex Gray met running back Kaylon Watson in the backfield for a one-yard loss and Appalachian maintained its three-point lead. The stop proved to be the turning point in the game, as Appalachian scored the final 42 points of the game to turn the close game into a romp. The post-goal-line-stand onslaught began with a six-play, 95-yard touchdown drive immediately following the stop. A career-long 78-yard rush by quarterback Taylor Lamb got the Mountaineers out of the shadow of their own goalpost and three plays later he scored from 13 yards out to give App State a 24-14 halftime lead. The Mountaineers saved their customary first-half dominance for after the break on Saturday. Appalachian outgained ULM, 350-127, and outscored the Warhawks, 35-0, in the second half to finish off the rout. In all, the Mountaineers held a 654-350 edge in total yardage, including a 379-159 advantage on the ground. The 654 yards were App State’s most ever in 10 all-time Sun Belt games. Lamb paced Appalachian State’s 654-yard offensive output with 364 total yards (261 passing, 103 rushing) and was responsible for four Mountaineer touchdowns (including passes of 43, 58 and 37 yards to seniors Malachi Jones, Bobo Beathard and Simms McElfresh). Marcus Cox led all rushers with 122 yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries (5.3 avg.). The 100-yard rushing performance was the junior’s 11th in the last 13 games and 19th in 30 career contests. Defensively, sophomore linebacker Eric Boggs led the Mountaineers with 11 tackles and two interceptions. With the first two interceptions of his career, Boggs became the first Appalachian linebacker to pick off multiple passes in a game since teammate John Law had two interceptions at Elon on Sept. 21, 2013. The victory was Appalachian State’s 11th in its past 12 games overall and its eighth-straight in Sun Belt action. The Mountaineers also won for the sixth time in its last seven road tilts.

ATTENDANCE: 24,121 BOONE, N.C. — Appalachian State University football handed Georgia Southern its first-ever Sun Belt Conference defeat with a 31-13 thumping at Kidd Brewer Stadium. An electric, overflow crowd of 24,121 and a national-television audience saw Appalachian State (6-1, 3-0 Sun Belt) thoroughly dominate Georgia Southern (5-2, 3-1 Sun Belt) to snap the Eagles’ 11-game Sun Belt winning streak and extend its own conference winning streak to nine games. With the victory, the Mountaineers also became bowl eligible in their first full-fledged season as a member of NCAA Division I FBS. Appalachian State is the 20th team nationally to become bowl eligible this season and the first from North Carolina. Appalachian beat Georgia Southern at its own game, outrushing the nation’s No. 1 rushing team, 231-188. The Eagles’ season-low 188 rushing yards were 211 yards below their average coming in. The Mountaineers also limited Georgia Southern running back Matt Breida, the nation’s No. 3 rusher with a 146.7 yards-per-game average coming in, to just 78 yards. Breida only managed 52 yards through three quarters before picking up a third of his total yardage after the game was decided in the final period. Breida recorded more than half of his yardage on the opening series of the game, as he accounted for 44 of the Eagles’ 86 yards on an eight-play drive that culminated with quarterback Kevin Ellison’s 12-yard touchdown run that gave Georgia Southern an early 7-0 lead. However, after the opening series, it was all Mountaineers. After surrendering 86 yards on Georgia Southern’s opening possession, Appalachian State outgained the Eagles, 227-29, over the rest of the first half to take a 17-7 halftime lead. App State scored on three of its five first-half possessions. Zach Matics opened the scoring for the Mountaineers with a 44-yard field goal on its first offensive series. After being forced to punt on its second possession, Appalachian put together back-to-back touchdown drives, capped by an 18-yard run by Marcus Cox and a nine-yard pass from Taylor Lamb to Simms McElfresh that gave the Mountaineers the 10-point lead at the break. After being forced to punt following each of its first two series to open the second half, junior cornerback Mondo Williams pulled momentum firmly back into Appalachian’s corner midway through the third quarter when he intercepted Ellison to give the Mountaineers the ball at midfield. Three plays later, Lamb found wide-open tight end Barrett Burns down the right sideline for a 33-yard touchdown that gave Appalachian State a commanding 24-7 lead. The Mountaineers erased any doubt about the final outcome with 6:33 to go in the final period when Cox scored from six yards out to make it 31-7. Georgia Southern marched 75 yards to score a meaningless touchdown with 3:31 to go and Appalachian State took a knee at the Eagles’ two yard line in the final minute to account for the final margin. Senior defensive end Ronald Blair led the Mountaineers’ dominating defensive effort with a team-high-tying eight tackles, including a game-high three for loss. Sophomore linebacker Eric Boggs also recorded eight tackles and junior safety Alex Gray added six tackles, one tackle for loss and an interception. As a team, Appalachian State made 10 stops behind the line of scrimmage for a total of 29 yards. The Mountaineers tallied 10 tackles for loss for the second time this month — they also had 10 TFL against Wyoming on Oct. 3. Lamb headlined the Mountaineers’ efficient offensive performance by completing 14-of-20 passes for 202 yards and two touchdowns. His favorite target was McElfresh, who caught six passes for 66 yards. Cox ran for a game-high 90 yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries and also caught two passes for 36 yards. Redshirt freshman Jalin Moore and sophomore Terrence Upshaw added 53 and 48 yards on the ground, respectively. NOTES: Appalachian State beat Georgia Southern for the fourth time in the last five meetings, sixth time in the last eight meetings and ninth time in the last 13 meetings ... the Mountaineers beat the Eagles at Kidd Brewer Stadium for the fourth-straight time and moved to 12-3-1 all-time against Georgia Southern in Boone ... Appalachian now owns the Sun Belt’s longest winning streak in conference games at nine, five games better than Arkansas State’s four-game winning streak in league games ... the Mountaineers’ six wins this season have come by an average score of 43-7 ... Appalachian State’s defense has not allowed more than two touchdowns in any of its six victories ... Appalachian State moved to 74-14 in its last 88 home games ... the Mountaineers played in front of an above-capacity crowd for the 56th time in the last 61 regular-season home games.

APPALACHIAN STATE FOOTBALL GAME 8 • OCTOBER 31 vs. TROY

TROY 41 APPALACHIAN STATE 44 2015 IN REVIEW

SCORING SUMMARY 1 2 3 4 F TROJANS (2-6, 1-3) 7 3 14 7 10 41 MOUNTAINEERS (6-1, 3-0) 14 3 14 0 13 44 ATTENDANCE: 26,130 BOONE, N.C. — Stephen Burns, Kennan Gilchrist and Doug Middleton combined to smother a fake field-goal attempt in triple overtime and Zach Matics followed with a 24-yard game-winner to lift Appalachian State University football to a 44-41 victory over Troy on Saturday in the longest game in Kidd Brewer Stadium history. With the victory, Appalachian State (7-1, 4-0 Sun Belt) remained unbeaten in Sun Belt Conference play, setting the stage for a colossal Sun Belt showdown versus Arkansas State (4-3, 3-0 Sun Belt going in to Saturday night’s home game versus Georgia State) on Thursday night at Kidd Brewer Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. on ESPNU. Saturday’s App State-Troy barn-burner was tied at 31-31 going into overtime and the teams traded touchdowns in the first extra period and field goals in the second to send it to the third overtime knotted at 41 apiece. Troy (2-6, 1-3 Sun Belt) got the ball first in the third overtime and marched 20 yards to the five yard line. Facing fourth-and-two, the Trojans took a timeout then came out in field-goal formation, apparently content to try to take a 44-41 lead. Instead, holder John Johnson took the snap and shoveled a quick pass to Clark Quisenberry. However, the trio of Burns, Gilchrist and Middleton was not fooled and met Quisenberry at the line of scrimmage to snuff out the fake attempt and force the turnover on downs. Needing only a field goal to win, Appalachian State drove all the way to the five yard line on its ensuing possession, thanks in large part to a 15-yard run by Marcus Cox on third and four from the 19. Three plays later, Matics split the uprights from 24 yards out to set off a raucous celebration at The Rock. The Mountaineers pulled out the three-OT win despite being outgained (450-432) for only the third time this season. The contest was a tight affair throughout, featuring six ties and neither team ever leading by more than seven points. Despite being unable to put the pesky Trojans away, Appalachian State never trailed in regulation — its only deficit came when Troy scored first in the opening overtime. Offensively, App State was led by Cox, who ran for 140 yards on a season-high 30 carries and quarterback Taylor Lamb, who was responsible for a career-high-tying four touchdowns (two rushing, two passing). Senior wideout Bobo Beathard was Lamb’s favorite target with four catches for 62 yards. Defensively, the Mountaineers were once again led by senior defensive end Ronald Blair, who had seven tackles, a game-high 2.5 tackles for loss and a 30-yard interception return for a touchdown that gave Appalachian a 7-0 lead just 55 seconds into the game. Sophomore linebacker Eric Boggs led all tacklers with a career-high 14 while junior cornerback Mondo Williams also set a new career high with nine stops. Troy quarterback Brandon Silvers completed 27-of-41 passes for 265 yards and a touchdown, but was intercepted twice, with both pickoffs leading directly to Mountaineer touchdowns. NOTES: Appalachian State moved to 6-6 all-time in overtime games, but snapped a four-game skid in overtime affairs ... the Mountaineers had not won a game in extra time since winning at The Citadel, 30-27, on Oct. 3, 2009 ... App State won an overtime game at home for the first time in school history (the Apps were 0-3 in OT games at Kidd Brewer Stadium prior to Saturday) ... Appalachian State won its 10th-straight Sun Belt Conference game, which is tied for the fourth-longest conference winning streak in Sun Belt history ... the Mountaineers also won for the 13th time in the last 14 games overall ... Blair’s interception return for a touchdown was Appalachian’s fourth defensive touchdown of the season ... the Mountaineers intercepted at least one pass for the ninth-straight game ... Cox’s 100yard game was the 20th of his career, which moved him into a tie with Damon Scott (1993-96) for the second-most in school history ... just 32 games into his career, Cox is just two shy of the program record of 22 100-yard rushing performances, set by John Settle (1983-86) ... Cox also became the fifth student-athlete in Appalachian State history to rush for 3,500 yards in a career, finishing the day with 3,582 career yards.

SCORING SUMMARY 1 2 3 4 F RED WOLVES (6-3, 5-0) 14 3 17 6 40 MOUNTAINEERS (7-2, 4-1) 14 7 14 6 27 ATTENDANCE: 18,721 BOONE, N.C. — Appalachian State University football dominated the action for much of the first half but Arkansas State took control after the break and came back to beat the Mountaineers, 40-27, on at Kidd Brewer Stadium. The loss snapped Appalachian State’s 10-game Sun Belt Conference winning streak and dropped the Mountaineers (7-2, 4-1 Sun Belt) into second place in the league standings. Arkansas State (6-3, 5-0 Sun Belt) took sole possession of first place with its fifth-straight win. Appalachian held a 239-40 yardage advantage just 1:16 into the second quarter but led only 21-14 due to two costly fumbles deep in its own territory in the first quarter — one that led to an eight-yard touchdown pass one play after the miscue and a second that was returned 19 yards for a score. However, after the Mountaineers took the 21-14 lead early in the second period, it was all Arkansas State. The Red Wolves outgained App State, 477-226, over the final 43:44 of the game and scored 26 unanswered points before Appalachian closed out the scoring on sophomore Taylor Lamb’s career-high-tying fourth touchdown pass with 3:32 to go. Despite not doing much offensively over the last 13-plus minutes of the second quarter, App State still led 2117 at halftime. However, Arkansas State scored touchdowns on its first two possessions after the break and never relinquished the lead the rest of the way. Arkansas State racked up 517 total yards in all, including 309 on the ground, both easily the highest totals that Appalachian State’s No. 12-ranked defense has allowed this season. The Mountaineers finished with 465 total yards but managed just 160 after halftime. Lamb threw for 321 of Appalachian State’s 465 total yards, including touchdown strikes of 12, 29, 24 and 27 yards to Malachi Jones, Barrett Burns, Dante Jones and Montez McGuire, respectively. In the process, Lamb became the ninth student-athlete in Appalachian State history with 4,000 career passing yards, finishing the evening with 4,219. Junior Marcus Cox added 74 yards on the ground. With 991 rushing yards this season, Cox is just nine yards shy of becoming the first student-athlete in Appalachian State history to run for 1,000 yards as a freshman, sophomore and junior. Defensively, senior safety Doug Middleton led all tacklers with a career-high 11. Sophomore outside linebacker Devan Stringer added eight stops, two-and-a-half tackles for loss, a half sack and a quarterback hurry. NOTES: Prior to facing Arkansas State, Appalachian State’s season high for yards allowed was 450 last Saturday versus Troy … the Mountaineers’ previous season high for rushing yards allowed was 218 versus Wyoming on Oct. 3 … the Mountaineers lost a game that they led at halftime for the first time since surrendering a 21-14 halftime lead in a 35-28 loss to Chattanooga on Nov. 2, 2013 … Appalachian fell to 7-2 all-time when playing on ESPNU and 16-6 when playing on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU or ESPN Classic … Dante Jones’ touchdown catch was the first of his career … the conference loss was Appalachian State’s first in 398 days, dating back to a 47-21 defeat versus South Alabama on Oct. 4, 2014 … the loss also snapped Appalachian’s seven-game home winning streak and six-game overall winning streak.

SCORING SUMMARY MOUNTAINEERS (8-2, 5-1) VANDALS (3-7, 2-5) ATTENDANCE: 10,113

MOSCOW, Idaho — Jalin Moore ran for an Appalachian State University freshman-record 244 yards to lead the Mountaineers to a 47-20 victory over Idaho at the Kibbie Dome. Moore’s 244 yards on the ground shattered Appalachian State’s previous freshman record of 215, set by current Mountaineer junior Marcus Cox against Western Carolina on Nov. 23, 2013. His 244-yard output was tied for the ninthhighest in school history, regardless of class. Ironically, Moore got the opportunity to shine due to the decision by Appalachian’s coaching staff to rest Cox, who was dressed and available to play but battling nagging lower-body injuries. With Cox on the sideline, Moore eclipsed his previous career total of 203 rushing yards while averaging 9.0 yards over 27 carries. He obliterated his prior single-game highs of 75 rushing yards (Sept. 26 at Old Dominion) and 11 carries (Oct. 22 vs. Georgia Southern). Behind Moore, the Mountaineers amassed 401 of their 511 total yards and 23 of their 29 first downs on the ground. Although Appalachian (8-2, 5-1 Sun Belt) never trailed, the game was relatively close throughout the first half and the Mountaineers led just 21-13 at halftime. However, the second half was all Mountaineers, as they scored on four of their five full possessions (not including a kneel-down to close out the end) to turn the contest into a rout. Conversely, Idaho’s offense surrendered more points (two on a safety) than it scored (0) in the second half until it managed a fourth-quarter touchdown against mostly defensive backups. In all, App State outgained Idaho (3-7, 2-5 Sun Belt), 511-299, including a whopping 401-56 advantage on the ground. In the second half alone, the Mountaineers held a 271-95 yardage edge and dominated time of possession, 20:30-9:30. The Mountaineers featured an efficient passing performance to go along with the prolific rushing attack, completing 10-of-17 passes with four touchdowns and no interceptions. Starting quarterback Taylor Lamb tossed three of the four touchdown passes in an 8-for-15, 90-yard performance. Tight ends Barrett Burns and Bill Cecil and wideouts Malachi Jones and Montez McGuire caught touchdown passes for the Mountaineers. Defensively, Appalachian State sacked Idaho quarterback Matt Linehan five times. Ronald Blair, Stephen Burns and Olawale Dada all got to Linehan early before reserve Caleb Fuller dropped him twice on the Vandals’ final possession.

ATTENDANCE: 16,124 BOONE, N.C. — Led by a defense that limited UL Lafayette to 246 yards and pitched a shutout until the final minute of the game, Appalachian State University football closed the home portion of its 2015 schedule in style with a 28-7 romp over the Ragin’ Cajuns at Kidd Brewer Stadium. Highlighting the dominant defensive effort, Appalachian State (9-2, 6-1 Sun Belt) surrendered just 42 rushing yards on 36 carries (1.2 yards per attempt), tallied nine tackles for loss, sacked UL Lafayette quarterback Brooks Haack six times and hurried him eight times. The Mountaineers allowed just 171 yards, forced eight punts and blocked a field goal through UL Lafayette’s first nine possessions, but the Cajuns spoiled the shutout bid by marching 75 yards against mostly Mountaineer reserves and scoring their only points with 57 seconds to go in the ballgame. Senior defensive lineman Ronald Blair and sophomore linebacker Eric Boggs led the Mountaineers’ spectacular defensive effort. Blair tallied a team-high eight tackles with a tackle for loss and a quarterback hurry while Boggs finished with a career-high three sacks among his six tackles. Playing in his final game at Kidd Brewer Stadium because he has elected to forego his final season of eligibility after graduating, fourth-year junior Tashion Singleton added a sack and two tackles for loss. Offensively, Appalachian State quietly racked up 402 total yards. The Mountaineers gashed the Cajuns for 230 yards and 5.0 yards per rush on the ground and completed 14-of-21 passes for 172 yards through the air. Appalachian scored one touchdown in each quarter to account for its 28 points. Playing for the first time in 23 days, running back Marcus Cox scored on nine- and one-yard runs to give the Mountaineers a 14-0 halftime lead. Freshman Jalin Moore made it 21-0 with a career-long 54-yard run in the third quarter and walk-on tight end Michael Moll closed the scoring with his first-career touchdown catch, a two-yarder in the final period. Moore and Cox combined for 182 rushing yards — 104 for Moore and 78 for Cox. Quarterback Taylor Lamb added 36 yards on the ground to go along with his 14-for-21, 172-yard passing performance. Seniors Malachi Jones, Simms McElfresh and Montez McGuire led the receiving corps by totaling eight catches for 139 yards — three for 58 for Jones, three for 44 for McElfresh and two for 37 for McGuire. With the win, Appalachian stayed in contention for the Sun Belt Conference championship heading into the final week of the season. Appalachian is one game behind league-leading Arkansas State (8-3, 7-0 Sun Belt) with one game to play. The Mountaineers travel to South Alabama (5-6, 3-4 Sun Belt) while A-State hosts Texas State (3-8, 2-5 Sun Belt) next Saturday. NOTES: Appalachian State won for the 15th time in its last 17 games overall and 12th time in its last 13 Sun Belt games ... the Mountaineers’ nine wins are their most in a season since they finished 10-3 in 2010 ... Appalachian finished 5-1 at home this season, good for its most home wins since it went 6-1 at Kidd Brewer Stadium in 2011 ... the Mountaineers won for the seventh time in their last eight games that immediately followed a regular-season bye .. App State fell just 57 seconds shy of recording its third-straight shutout following a bye — the Mountaineers blanked Georgia State, 44-0, following their second bye of last season (Nov. 1) and whitewashed Old Dominion, 49-0, following their first bye this season (Sept. 29) ... in two all-time games against UL Lafayette, Appalachian has totaled 12 sacks and 16 tackles for loss ... the Mountaineers’ six sacks were their most since they had six in last season’s 35-16 win at UL-L ... on his nine-yard touchdown run in the first half, Cox became the first student-athlete in school history to rush for 1,000 yards as a freshman, sophomore and junior ... Cox has run for 1,069 yards through 10 games this season.

SCORING SUMMARY MOUNTAINEERS (10-2, 7-1) JAGUARS (5-7, 3-5) ATTENDANCE: 12,346

MOBILE, Ala. — Appalachian State University football earned its Sun Belt Conference-record-tying 10th win of the season with a heart-stopping 34-27 victory over South Alabama in the regular-season finale at Ladd-Peebles Stadium. Appalachian State (10-2, 7-1 Sun Belt) became the fourth team in Sun Belt history to win 10 games and only the second to accomplish the feat during the regular season. Appalachian also reached the 10-win mark in the regular season for only the fourth time in its 86-year program history. Saturday’s historic win did not come easy. Due mainly to a season-high-tying four turnovers, App State squandered a 24-7 halftime lead and fell behind, 27-24, on a 41-yard field goal by South Alabama’s Aleem Sunanon with with 9:48 to go in the ballgame. However, Appalachian answered with a 50-yard field goal by Zach Matics to knot the score at 27-27, got a huge three-and-out from its defense, then put together perhaps the biggest drive of the season when it marched 65 yards in eight plays and took the lead on Jalin Moore’s 18-yard touchdown run with 1:16 left on the clock. South Alabama (5-7, 3-5 Sun Belt) made it interesting when it returned the ensuing kickoff 46 yards to near midfield but, four plays later, true freshman and Alabama native Tae Hayes broke up a pass on fourth-and-three to seal the nail-biting triumph. Appalachian State had chances to put the game away in the first half, as it outgained South Alabama by a whopping 344-155 margin before halftime. However, the Mountaineers fumbled into the end zone twice and the Jaguars recovered both times to keep App State from blowing the doors off the contest before the break. The Mountaineers’ inability to put the game out of reach in the first half nearly came back to bite them in the second. South Alabama dominated the action for the first 20 minutes after halftime, and aided by two more Appalachian turnovers, scored 20 unanswered points to take the three-point lead on Sunanon’s field goal with less than 10 minutes to play. From the beginning of the second half until South Alabama’s go-ahead field goal, the Jaguars outgained the Mountaineers, 198-31. However, with their backs to the wall, the Mountaineers outgained USA, 107-12, over the final 9:48 of the ballgame. Moore, a redshirt freshman, ran six times for 57 yards on the game-winning drive, including a four-yard gain on fourth-and-two from the USA 46 yard line, followed by 24 and 18-yard runs that capped the Mountaineers’ biggest possession of the season. Despite Moore’s late-game heroics, the story of the game for Appalachian State offensively was junior running back Marcus Cox, who ran for 192 yards on just 14 carries (13.7 avg.). The 100-yard game was the seventh of the season and the 21st in 35 career games for Cox, who moved within one 100-yard game of the school record of 22, set by Appalachian Hall-of-Famer John Settle from 1983-86. Defensively, sophomore linebacker Eric Boggs and senior defensive lineman Ronald Blair both registered career highs with 15 and 11 tackles, respectively. Boggs also recorded his third interception of the season while Blair added 2.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks to lead the Mountaineers’ defensive effort. NOTES: Appalachian State finished alone in second place in the 2015 Sun Belt Conference standings, one game behind conference champion Arkansas State (9-3, 8-0 Sun Belt) … Appalachian has won 16 of its last 18 games overall and 13 of its last 14 Sun Belt games … the Mountaineers won their sixth-straight game in the state of Alabama … App State hasn’t dropped a game in the Yellowhammer State since a 22-15 defeat at Auburn in the 1999 season opener … Appalachian State’s five road wins are its most in a regular season since it went 6-0 on the road in 1995 ... Appalachian’s four turnovers matched the season high it committed in a 41-10 loss at Clemson on Sept. 12 … Matics’ 51-yard field goal in the first half matched his season long, originally set on Oct. 3 vs. Wyoming … before he made two 50-yarders on Saturday, the 51-yard field goal against Wyoming was the lone 5-harder of Matics’ career … with his perfect 2-for-2 night, Matics moved to 13-for-14 this season … his .929 field-goal percentage ranks second nationally … with a 74-yard run on the first play from scrimmage, Cox moved into fourth on Appalachian State’s all-time rushing list, surpassing Damon Scott (3,800 yards - 1993-96) … Cox finished the evening with 3,926 career rushing yards … with an 18-yard touchdown reception, Cox also became only the fourth student-athlete and third non-kicker in Appalachian State history with 400 career points … with a 58-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter, senior Simms McElfresh moved alone into eight place in Appalachian State history with 13 career touchdown receptions … with two touchdown passes, sophomore quarterback Taylor Lamb upped his season total to 29, just one shy of the single-season school record of 30, set by Armanti Edwards in 2009.

ATTENDANCE: 16,124 MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Zach Matics kicked a 23-yard field goal as time expired to lift Appalachian State University football to a historic 31-29 win over Ohio in the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl on Saturday evening at the Cramton Bowl. Appalachian State (11-2) trailed 24-7 going into the fourth quarter but outscored Ohio (8-5), 24-5, in the final 13:52 of the game to become the first 11-win team in Sun Belt Conference history. Appalachian also set a new record for victories by a team in its first season as a full-fledged member of NCAA Division I FBS (previously Division I-A) after transitioning from Division I FCS (previously I-AA) and the first team to win a bowl game in its initial season as a full-fledged FBS squad. All of those feats seemed unlikely when the Mountaineers entered the final period facing a 17-point deficit but they quickly turned the tables, scoring three touchdowns in a 1:56 span and taking a 28-24 advantage barely three minutes into the quarter. After App State’s three-touchdown flurry, it was Ohio’s turn to rally, which it did with a safety and a 21-yard field goal to retake a 29-28 lead with 1:47 to go. However, sophomore quarterback Taylor Lamb calmly led the Mountaineers on a nine-play, 73-yard drive over the final 107 seconds that culminated with Matics’ 23-yard game-winner. Lamb accounted for 51 of the 73 yards on the game-winning drive, including a 32-yard run that moved Appalachian from its own 41 yard line all the way to the OU 27 with a minute left on the clock. With Marcus Cox, who rushed for 162 yards on 24 carries, sidelined with a lower-body injury for the final series, freshman Jalin Moore got the ball on three of the next four plays and picked up 21 yards to move the Mountaineers to the six yard line. App State took a timeout with two seconds left to set up Matics for the role of hero. The fifth-year senior, who was the nation’s second-most accurate kicker during the regular season but missed from 39 and 42 yards in the first quarter, drilled the 23-yard game-winner as the clock hit :00. The walk-off field goal set off a wild celebration among the Mountaineers and an estimated 7,000 Black-and-Gold faithful that easily outnumbered Ohio fans in attendance at the Cramton Bowl. Appalachian dominated the action for most of the first half but the two missed field goals and a pair of costly turnovers in the waning minutes before halftime sent the Mountaineers to the locker room with a 17-7 deficit. The Mountaineers held a commanding 188-33 advantage in total yardage through a quarter-and-a-half but, due mainly to the two errant field-goal attempts, led just 7-0. Despite Ohio putting together a 45-yard drive that it capped with a 36-yard field goal, it still appeared that the Mountaineers would take the advantage into the locker room when they led 7-3 with 1:31 to go in the opening half. However, the tide turned in the final 91 seconds of the half. On the first offensive play after Ohio’s field goal, OU linebacker Quentin Poling picked off Lamb and returned the interception 20 yards for a touchdown to give the Bobcats a 10-7 lead. Things went from bad to worse five plays later when Lamb mishandled a snap and it was recovered by OU’s Tony Porter at the App State 23 yard line. Two plays after the miscue, Ohio running back A.J. Ouellette rumbled in from seven yards out and, in the span of just 1:11, the Mountaineers’ 7-0 lead had turned into a 17-7 halftime deficit. The Mountaineers’ turnover parade continued in the third quarter when Ike Lewis caught a short pass on a speed sweep but, as he tried to turn the corner on the edge, had the ball stripped right out of his hands by OU linebacker Jovon Johnson. Johnson ran 45 yards untouched to paydirt to extend the Bobcats’ lead to 24-7 with 8:06 left in the third quarter, which set up the wild final period. Appalachian State’s comeback began in earnest late in the third quarter when it started what would turn out to be an 11-play, 97-yard touchdown drive. The series was aided by an unnecessary roughness penalty on Ohio defensive back Toran Davis, who clocked wideout Dante Jones several steps after Jones was overthrown by Lamb on a third-and-seven play from the App State 44 yard line. Six plays later, Lamb found junior tight end Barrett Burns for a 17-yard touchdown pass that cut the deficit to 24-14. Just two plays into Ohio’s ensuing possession, sophomore Latrell Gibbs recorded his seventh interception of the year and returned it 11 yards to the OU 26. On the very next snap, Cox ran nearly untouched right up the middle for a 26-yard touchdown to make it 24-21 and awaken the partisan Mountaineer crowd. After Cox’s touchdown, it once again took Ohio only two plays to give the ball right back to the Mountaineers, as Bobcat quarterback J.D. Sprague was picked off by Mondo Williams at the OU 46. Cox nearly scored on the very first play after the turnover again but was pushed out of bounds at the 10 yard line after a 36yard run. Three plays later, Lamb and Burns hooked up again, this time from five yards out, to cap the amazing run of 21 points in 1:56 and give Appalachian a 28-24 lead. Cox was named the Camellia Bowl’s Bart Starr MVP thanks to his 162-yard effort. In the process, the junior became only the fourth student-athlete in Appalachian State history to rush for 4,000 yards in a career, upping his career total to 4,088 yards with a season left to play. Cox also matched a school record with the 22nd 100-yard rushing performance of his 36-game career. Despite a shaky middle portion of the game, Lamb finished 176 yards of total offense (124 passing, 51 rushing) and accounted for three of the Mountaineers’ four touchdowns (two passing, one rushing). His two touchdown passes gave him 31 for the season, which broke the school record of 30, set by Armanti Edwards in 2008. Burns caught both of Lamb’s touchdown passes, giving him eight touchdown receptions for the season, which matched Daniel Bettis’ school record for tight ends set in 2005. Gibbs headlined Appalachian State’s extraordinary defensive effort with seven tackles and three pass breakups to go along with his game-changing interception in the fourth quarter. Outside linebacker Devan Stringer led the Mountaineers with10 tackles while inside linebacker Eric Boggs added nine stops and a sack.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

APPALACHIAN STATE 42 • DELAWARE 14 6:02 TO GO • FOURTH QUARTER With Richardson and the majority of Appalachian’s starters watching from the sideline, senior Trey Elder capped the rout with a 53-yard touchdown scamper that brought the Black and Gold contingent pouring out of the stands and onto the sidelines with more than three minutes still to play. In his last collegiate game, Richardson came up huge once again on FCS football’s biggest stage, finishing with 145 total yards (118 rushing, 27 receiving) and three of Appalachian’s nine touchdowns but the most memorable play of the evening was undoubtedly the touchdown run by Elder, who was Appalachian’s starter behind center in the 2005 title-game victory over Northern Iowa but is best known for the unselfishness that he displayed in backing up a pair of all-America signal-callers in Richie Williams and Armanti Edwards during his four years in the Black and Gold.

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.

After failing to connect on a 39-yard attempt on the first drive for the Apps, Taylor Lamb’s 21 yard scamper from the Ohio’s 21-yard line gave the Black and Gold a 7-0 lead in the opening period. Appalachian took advantage of an Ohio unsportsmanlike conduct penalty that put the ball in the Bobcats’ territory. That was the lone score of the first quarter while it could’ve have been a 13-0 lead. Matics, who had missed just one field goal all season going into the game, failed to connect on two attempts. The Mountaineers held a commanding 188-33 advantage in total yardage through a quarter-anda-half but, due mainly to the two errant field-goal attempts, led just 7-0.

APPALACHIAN STATE 7 • OHIO 0 7:17 TO GO • FIRST QUARTER However, the tide turned in the final 91 seconds of the half. On the first offensive play after Ohio’s field goal, OU linebacker Quentin Poling picked off Lamb and returned the interception 20 yards for a touchdown to give the Bobcats a 10-7 lead.Things went from bad to worse five plays later when Lamb mishandled a snap and it was recovered by OU’s Tony Porter at the App State 23 yard line. Two plays after the miscue, Ohio running back A.J. Ouellette rumbled in from seven yards out and, in the span of just 1:11, the Mountaineers’ 7-0 lead had turned into a 17-7 halftime deficit.

OHIO 17 • APPALACHIAN STATE 7 0:44 TO GO • SECOND QUARTER Appalachian State’s comeback began in earnest late in the third quarter when it started what would turn out to be an 11-play, 97-yard touchdown drive. The series was aided by an unnecessary roughness penalty on Ohio defensive back Toran Davis, who clocked wideout Dante Jones several steps after Jones was overthrown by Lamb on a third-and-seven play from the App State 44 yard line. Six plays later, Lamb found junior tight end Barrett Burns for a 17-yard touchdown pass that cut the deficit to 2414.

Lamb accounted for 51 of the 73 yards on the game-winning drive, including a 32-yard run that moved Appalachian from its own 41 yard line all the way to the OU 27 with a minute left on the clock. The victory set a new record for victories by a team in its first season as a full-fledged member of NCAA Division I FBS (previously Division I-A) after transitioning from Division I FCS (previously I-AA) and the first team to win a bowl game in its initial season as a full-fledged FBS squad.

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. He has been involved with many charitable programs throughout and following his professional football career, including the Salvation Army, the Children’s Cancer Fund Fashion Show, Dallas Cowboys Courage House, and Let Us Play!

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.

APPALACHIAN STATE FOOTBALL MEMORABLE GAMES OF THE NCAA DIVISION I out with five seconds remaining to seal the 19-17 triumph. SEPTEMBER 9, 1972 APPS BREAK UP PAT ATTEMPT TO SAVE WIN NOVEMBER 8, 1975

HISTORY AND TRADITIONS

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

OCTOBER 20, 1973

BRAKEFIELD TAKES DOWN OLD TEAM APPALACHIAN STATE 28, WOFFORD 21

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

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.

PRICE IS RIGHT IN TRIUMPH AT USC APPALACHIAN STATE 39, SOUTH CAROLINA 34

Robbie Price put on an offensive show before 47,489 fans on hand at Williams-Brice Stadium, who saw seven scoring drives over 70 yards, four of which went longer than 80 yards in a 39-34 triumph over South Carolina. After South Carolina scooped up a Price fumble and returned it for the first points of the day, Appalachian State got on the board with a 77-yard drive that was capped off by a John Craig score. The touchdown was especially sweet for Craig who began his career with the Gamecocks two years earlier. Appalachian led at the half, 24-14, but South Carolina came out quick in the third quarter, and reduced the Appalachian lead to four when Jeff Grantz scored from two yards out. Price answered with a 32-yard touchdown pass. However, South Carolina scored late in the third quarter to make it 30-27. The Gamecocks drove 81 yards take the lead, 34-30. However, the Mountaineers responded with a 16-yard touchdown pass from Price to a diving Donnie Holt. Mike Staton sealed the win with an interception that led to a Mountaineer field goal to make the final score 39-34.

SEPTEMBER 24, 1979

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

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

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

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. John Craig (35), a transfer from South Carolina, scored Appalachian State’s first The resiliant Mountaineers responded by marching 61 yards in 11 plays 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 Mountaineers’ 39-34 win at Williams-Brice Stadium in 1975.

APPALACHIAN STATE FOOTBALL MEMORABLE GAMES OF THE NCAA DIVISION I AUGUST 31, 1991

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

All-America punter Harold Alexander was integral in two of Appalachian State’s most memorable victories. He sealed a 15-10 win over Wake Forest with a booming punt in the waning seconds and registered a SoCon-record 55.5 yards per punt in the Mountaineers’ 9-3 win over Marshall in the 1991 season opener. www.PLAYATTHEROCK.com • @APPSTATE_FB

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

NOVEMBER 18, 1995

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

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

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

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

APPALACHIAN NEARLY PULLS OFF UPSET AT AUBURN AUBURN 22, APPALACHIAN STATE 15

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.

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.

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 REWRITES RECORDS IN COMEBACK WIN appalachian STATE 30, furman 29

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

DECEMBER 10, 2005 ELDER, HUNTER LEAD APPS TO FIRST TITLE GAME APPALACHIAN STATE 29, FURMAN 23

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

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

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

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

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.

APP STATE HOME RECORD • 2003-15:

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, compiled 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

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.

2016 HISTORY AND TRADITIONS

APPALACHIAN STATE FOOTBALL

YOSEF

Yosef is mountain talk for “yourself,” with the idea being that if you are an Appalachian alumnus, fan or friend and have a heart filled with black and gold, you are Yosef. In preparing the layout for the 1942 edition of Appalachian’s annual yearbook, The Rhododendron, editor James Storie and associate editor Elizabeth South (who later married in June 1942) were talking with freshman Lloyd S. Isaacs and Bill Mitchell of Observer Publishing about being one picture short of a perfectly balanced annual. The result of their chatter was the creation of a character named Dan’l Boone Yoseff from Appalachian. He was presented as a member of the 1941-42 freshman class. Each member of the foursome deflected credit for the creation of Yosef. Although called the Mountaineers, Appalachian had no mascot prior to Yosef. There were no plans in 1942 for Yosef to continue and evolve into what he is today. His initial publication was such a hit that students went so far as to want to order picture packages of Yosef instead of pictures of themselves. Undoubtedly, the caricature, the name and the idea appealed to Appalachian students. There is a controversy as to where the original image of Yosef came from and who was responsible for the picture. Accounts mention a bookstore staff member generating a sketch but an artist in Charlotte has also been credited with the creation of the mountain man. The next mention of the fictional character came during the years of 1946-49 when Yoseff served as a guest editorial writer in the student newspaper (The Appalachian). He wrote using mountain colloquialism with a penchant for misspelled words. Yoseff dropped the second “f” and became Yosef in January of 1947. On Nov. 22, 1947, the University sponsored a Mr. and Mrs. Yosef contest. Skills needed for the titles included hog and chicken calling. The first mention of Yosef as the mascot of the Mountaineers is a picture in the March 12, 1948 edition of The Appalachian. The photo tabbed him as a perennial freshman. In 1949, John Geffrich, a 48-year-old World War II veteran, was one of the first Yosef mascots. Geffrich helped establish a lineage of male undergraduates portraying a bearded man with coveralls, a pipe and a straw hat. The addition of a musket and a black-and-gold pick-up truck called the “Yosef Mobile” came along through the generations of Yosef. Prior to the 1983-84 academic year, a committee comprised of University students, staff and faculty members modernized Yosef’s look through a cartoon-type head and body. The Yosef mascot has undergone several overhauls over the past three decades, including one this offseason that gives the top Mountaineer a fresh new look as Appalachian State begins a new era in the Sun Belt Conference. Responsible for providing school spirit, Yosef is a officially member of Appalachian State’s cheerleading squad. He was an integal part of App State’s 1986 and 1989 UCA Division I and 2008 Speed Squad, Inc. Large Squad national championships. Yosef goes to mascot instructional camp with the Mountaineers’ cheerleaders each summer. Yosef is also a fixture at community gatherings away from campus, including parades, school assemblies and private events. To request an appearance by Yosef at your event, contact Appalachian State sports marketing at (828) 262-6654.

YOSEF THROUGH THE YEARS

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

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

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

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

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

ABOUT APPALACHIAN STATE UNIVERSITY Appalachian State University, in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains, prepares students to lead purposeful lives as global citizens who understand and engage their responsibilities in creating a sustainable future for all. The transformational Appalachian experience promotes a spirit of inclusion that brings people together in inspiring ways to acquire and create knowledge, to grow holistically, to act with passion and determination, and embrace diversity and difference. As one of 17 campuses in the University of North Carolina system, Appalachian enrolls about 18,000 students, has a low faculty-to-student ratio and offers more than 150 undergraduate and graduate majors. POINTS OF PRIDE In U.S. News and World Report’s 2016 rankings, Appalachian was recognized as: • * 3rd among top regional public universities in the South • * 10th among best public and private universities in the South • * 13th among “Best Value Schools” for regional universities in the South • * 6th in the “Best Undergraduate Teaching” category for southern regional universities • * 4th (tied) among “Most Innovative Schools” category for southern regional universities • * Among “Academic Programs to Look For” for first-year experience programs and learning communities Since 2010, Appalachian has been designated a Military Friendly® School by Victory Media. Appalachian is one of 140 colleges chosen by The Princeton Review for its “Best 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 State University provides opportunity and encouragement for student-athletes to progress toward degrees of their choice and to develop athletic abilities in an environment consistent with high standards of academic scholarship, leadership and institutional loyalty.

MOUNTAINEER ATHLETICS More than 450 student-athletes compete in 20 NCAA Division I varsity sports at Appalachian State University, 10 for men and 10 for women. Appalachian was a dominant force in the Southern Conference for more than 40 years before joining the Sun Belt Conference in July 2014 – one of 10 conferences that are members of the Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). In 2015, Mountaineer football brought home a record-setting win at the FBS Camellia Bowl. Appalachian’s student-athletes continue to excel academically. According to the NCAA, Appalachian posted a Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of 82 percent in the latest released data, ranking Appalachian third among the Sun Belt’s 11 universities.

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.

THE APPALACHIAN EXPERIENCE

Appalachian was founded in 1899 by the Dougherty brothers to provide access to education for children in the “lost provinces.” The pioneering spirit necessary to overcome the mountains’ hardships quickly characterized the institution, giving Appalachian a special niche in higher education that continues today. After more than a century, students still feel the pull of this unique place to transform their lives, and Appalachian has remained focused on providing students with educational experiences that are not only life-changing but world-changing. Alumni go on to earn advanced degrees, approach life entrepreneurially, build distinguished military careers, work overseas and develop careers that take them in many directions, all while giving back to the communities in which they live and work.

WHY CHOOSE APPALACHIAN? STUDENTS CHOOSE APPALACHIAN BECAUSE THEY CAN: • Engage in critical inquiry with a community of scholars • Discover and demonstrate their passion through research or performance • Travel the nation and the world to learn about themselves and the world around them • Engage with communities at home and across the world • Create lifelong bonds and friendships with faculty and fellow scholars • Develop a deep and holistic understanding of sustainability • Channel their desire to make a real and lasting change in the world Appalachian faculty members are known for using innovative, interdisciplinary and integrative curricula, being dedicated to research and student mentorship, and investing in new strategies and technologies. The student/faculty ratio is 16:1.

Small classes, which average 27 students, contribute to a freshman-to-sophomore retention rate of 85.8 percent. Fourteen percent of Appalachian’s students are from underrepresented populations, with the 2015 first-year class having 15 percent underrepresented student enrollment. Appalachian’s community of scholars consists of eight academic units: the College of Arts and Sciences, College of Fine and Applied Arts, Reich College of Education, Walker College of Business, University College, Hayes School of Music, Beaver College of Health Sciences and Cratis D. Williams School of Graduate Studies. Although not a degree-granting college, The Honors College offers an even more enriching academic experience for high-achieving students. To meet the needs of the region’s citizens, Appalachian also offers a variety of distance education degree programs at nearly 20 locations across western North Carolina, as well as online.

2016

At an extremely competitive tuition rate, Appalachian provides a rigorous and challenging academic environment, in which students demonstrate their passion through research and actively develop their intellectual, personal and professional growth.

BOONE AND THE SURROUNDING AREA Boone, North Carolina, is a college town in the best sense—a place where people say ‘Hello’ on the street and with a vibrant downtown a block from campus. Its eclectic hub, known as King Street, features specialty shops, restaurants and cultural attractions that appeal to students, parents, residents and tourists. Whether in town for a weekend or a four-year education, many people find it difficult to leave Boone. 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 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 FBI crime report data. The surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains attract outdoor enthusiasts year-round for hiking, skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, cycling, fishing, kayaking, rock climbing and other activities. The Blue Ridge Parkway, which draws some 20 million visitors a year, and a section of the Appalachian Trail that runs from Virginia and Tennessee through western North Carolina, are both just minutes from campus. Preserving these mountains is essential to Appalachian’s character. An ethic of sustainability resounds through the campus and local community, as evident through an on-campus electricity-generating wind turbine, a commitment to making new buildings efficiently designed and LEED® certified, a biodiesel-powered public transportation system, and research and academic degree programs that focus on issues related to energy, economics and the environment. Many sustainability projects on campus are funded by a Renewable Energy Initiative fee, which students overwhelmingly supported as a way to ensure a better future for all. The natural setting places outdoor recreation and experiential learning programs at our doorstep and the heritage of the region is alive on and around campus. The university’s location also attracts students, faculty and staff interested in sustainable development and the economics of sustainability. As a result, the Research Institute for Environment, Energy and Economics is spearheading cutting-edge research that is making Appalachian a leader in this area. The 2010 U.S. Census lists the population of Watauga County at 51,079 and the population of Boone at 17,186. Boone is known for having friendly, safe neighborhoods and quality schools.

State’s Largest Wind Turbine – This community-scale, 100-kilowatt wind turbine stands 153 feet and feeds enough electricity directly to the grid to power 15 homes. It was paid for primarily through student funds and in partnership with the university-affiliated utility, New River Light and Power. Aside from producing clean energy, the turbine serves as an educational monument to Appalachian’s ethic of sustainability. Howard Knob – Located just a half mile from downtown Boone, this peak has an elevation of 4,420 feet and is known more commonly as Howard’s Knob. It was named for Benjamin Howard, a Revolutionary War loyalist who fled to a cave there to escape American patriots.

The postgame press conference will be held in the Appalachian Athletics Center’s Mountaineer Room, located on the second level of the building.

PHOTOGRAPHERS & VIDEOGRAPHERS Credential requests for photographers and videographers should be made to the Appalachian State sports information office per the above guidelines. Only photographers and videographers shooting the game for an official media outlet or one of the participating schools will be granted credentials. Due to limited space, freelancers can only be accommodated if on a specific assignment for an accredited media outlet or one of the participating schools. Photographers are permitted to work the sidelines (except between the 25 yard lines) and beyond the end zones. Photographers, videographers and live television and radio personnel must stay behind the first dotted line (closest to the playing field) in these areas. All others will be directed to remain behind the second dotted line (furthest from the playing field) so as to not interfere with working media. The Kidd Brewer Stadium press box has ample photographer work space with wireless and hard-wired internet access available. However, photographers should be aware that Appalachian State’s on-campus internet system has firewalls that have blocked access to some photo servers in the past. Photographers should have a backup means to upload photos in case their server is unavilable to receive transmissions through the Appalachian State’s system (wireless air card, mobile hotspot, etc.).

2016 MEDIA INFORMATION

APPALACHIAN STATE FOOTBALL APPALACHIAN IMG SPORTS NETWORK Already with a radio presence in every major media market in North Carolina and in as many as seven states across the Southeast, Appalachian athletics joined forces with Winston-Salem-based ISP Sports in the summer of 2007 to create the Appalachian ISP Sports Network. The venture enhanced what was already one of the strongest mid-major radio networks in the nation by tapping into ISP’s vast resources, knowledge and experience in creating, marketing and managing revenue-enhancement programs around collegiate sports properties. In 2010, sports entertainment giant IMG purchased ISP and the Appalachian ISP Sports Network was rebranded as the Appalachian IMG Sports Network. For the 17th-straight year, the flagship station of Appalachian State athletics is 100,000-watt superstation WKBC, 97.3-FM. WKBC’s coverage area includes 45 counties spread over five states: North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. Combined with the network’s other 10 stations, Appalachian football broadcasts will again have the ability to reach nearly 10 million listeners during the 2015 campaign. There will be a new voice of the Mountaineers, as Adam Witten, a 2004 Appalachian State graduate, returns to his alma mater for his second stint with the Appalachian IMG Sports Network. He previously served in a variety of roles within App State’s radio and video operations, including as a member of the Mountaineers’ football, men’s and women’s basketball and baseball radio broadcast teams from 2000-06. Since 2008, Witten has worked at the IMG headquarters in WinstonSalem. He currently serves as a senior network manager, overseeing audio broadcast operations within several of the company’s Division I properties across the Southeast region. In that role, he has done national play-by-play for some of the ACC’s biggest events, including Thursday night football, bowl games and the league’s men’s basketball tournament. His wide array of play-by-play experience also includes select Duke and Virginia Tech men’s basketball radio broadcasts and assignments with the American Athletic Conference’s regional/national television and radio packages. “There’s no greater privilege in this business than calling games for your alma mater,” Witten said. “I’m extremely grateful to Doug Gillin, Coach (Scott) Satterfield, (assistant A.D.) Mike Flynn and IMG for entrusting me with this opportunity. I also want to thank David Jackson for his 15 years of exceptional work as Voice of the Mountaineers and for being a mentor and friend since my days as a student at Appalachian. I look forward to being back on the mountain this fall.” “On behalf of our football program, I’m happy to welcome Adam back to App State,” Satterfield said. “Adam has a lot of pride in our University and knowledge of the great history of Mountaineer football. He will do a great job of calling our games and promoting our program and University.” Wilcox lives in Atlanta, where he works as a personal trainer and volunteer high-school football coach. He has a wife, Shauna, and two sons, Tristan and Julian. Wilcox was selected for induction to the Appalachian State Athletics Hall of Fame in 2015. Lanny Ford returns to the Appalachian IMG Sports Network football crew in 2015 as a pregame and postgame host. Ford is the general manager of Appalachian IMG Sports Network affiliate ESPN 730 AM in Charlotte. In addition to providing in-game analysis, he also hosts a live, on-site pregame show on ESPN 730 prior to the beginning of the Appalachian IMG Sports Network’s coverage of every Appalachian State football game. A 19-year sports radio veteran, Ford played football at Clemson before earning a bachelor’s degree from Lenoir-Rhyne and a master’s from Appalachian State. He and his wife, Kim, reside in Lincolnton, N.C. Molly Cotten is in her third season as the Carolina Ford Dealers Scoreboard host for Appalachian IMG Sports Network football broadcasts. A senior at Appalachian State, Cotten has served a variety of roles in four years with the Appalachian IMG Sports Network, including as the playby-play announcer for Mountaineer women’s basketball, volleyball and softball and as a pre-, post- and in-game producer for Appalachian State football, men’s basketball and baseball broadcasts. After graduating from Appalachian State in May, she joined the staff at ESPN 730 AM in Charlotte, an Appalachian IMG Sports Network affiliate. The Mooresville, N.C. native graduated from Lake Norman High School in 2011. Steve Zushin is in his fourth season as the Appalachian IMG Sports Network’s on-site engineer. An Akron, Ohio native, Zushin studied at the University of Akron and Ohio Center for Broadcasting and has worked for more than a decade on both sides of the mic. In addition to his work with the Mountaineers, Zushin is a member of the popular morning show, “The Moo Krew with Crockett and Z” on Kicks 103.3 FM in Lenoir. He also serves

as assistant program director for the Foothills Radio Group. He and his wife, Kellie, reside in Granite Falls with their daughter, Alice. Legendary Mountaineer quarterback Steve Brown remains a member of the Appalachian IMG Sports Network crew and will participate in a variety of special segments throughout the 2015 season. Brown served two stints as the color commentator for Appalachian State football radio broadcasts from 1992-97 and 2004-14. A 1982 Appalachian graduate, Brown was a two-time all-Southern Conference honoree. Prior to the record-setting careers of Richie Williams, Armanti Edwards, DeAndre Presley and Jamal Londry-Jackson, Brown held the vast majority of Appalachian State’s passing and total-offense records. He was inducted to the Appalachian State Athletics Hall of Fame in 1990. Employed as a Territory Sales Representative for ASC Volvo Construction Equipment in Arden, N.C., Brown resides in Weaverville, N.C. with his wife, Teresa, and has two children: Christopher and Hannah, a senior at UNC Wilmington. Thanks to a $100,000 upgrade to Appalachian State University athletics’ video production capabilities, App State TV moves beyond the internet and on to the airwaves in 2015, as the Appalachian IMG Sports Network begins producing live television broadcasts of select Appalachian State football games. App State TV telecasts of Appalachian State football are set to air live on television stations across the region and nationwide on ESPN3. Providing color commentary is Appalachian State Hall of Famer Pierre Banks. Hall was a standout defensive tackle at Appalachian State from 198992, earning first-team all-Southern Conference honors all four seasons and first-team all-America recognition as a senior. He is still the Mountaineers’ alltime leader in tackles for loss in a season (35 in 1992) and a career (61.5). He also ranks among the program’s all-time leaders in career sacks (23.5 - fifth) and quarterback hurries (74). He was inducted to the Appalachian State Athletics Hall of Fame in 1999. Hall previously served as the color analyst for Appalachian State football radio broadcasts from 1998-2004. He works as a senior vice president/ business banking manager at Wells Fargo Bank in Greensboro, N.C. and is a member of the Appalachian State University Board of Trustees. Hall and his wife, Kristy, have two children, A.J. and Erin. Former Mountaineer linebacker Karl Anderson will handle sideline reporting for App State TV football broadcasts. Anderson earned secondteam all-Southern Conference accolades as a senior after leading the team with 113 tackles. For his career, the Pilot Point, Texas native racked up 186 tackles in 46 games and 14 starts. Anderson earned a bachelor’s in communication/electronic media and master’s in business administration from Appalachian State. Immediately following the completion of his MBA in 2014, he accepted his current position as Appalachian State football’s academic advisor.
