Mountaineers embrace chance to play Blazers BY STEVE BEHR sports@wataugademocrat.com
BOONE — A number of fans in Appalachian Nation were disappointed in the bowl the No. 20-ranked Mountaineers were assigned to play. It’s nothing personal about the New Orleans Bowl, where the Mountaineers play Alabama-Birmingham on Dec. 21. It’s just that plenty of fans wanted to play in the Cotton Bowl on Dec. 28. Playing in the Cotton Bowl would have meant that App State would have been the highest ranked Group of Five team in the College Football Playoffs poll. It would have meant they would likely be playing the Power Five representative of that bowl, Penn State. The Nittany Lions face Memphis from the American Athletic Conference. The Mountaineers have a different attitude going into their showdown with UAB: enjoy and then win the game. “It’s a great experience,” senior linebacker Jordan Fehr said. “New Orleans treated us really well last year and we’re excited to do it again next year. They host a great bowl game and playing in the Superdome is awesome. We do a lot of great community work down there, so to play on ESPN one last time together is a good experience.” UAB, the 2018 Conference USA champions, faces a difficult situation in that quarterback Tyler Johnston III has a knee injury and could miss the game. He played in the Conference USA championship game, but struggled against Florida Atlantic’s pass rush. Johnston III threw for 84 yards passing in the 49-6 loss. Johnston has passed for

1,949 and 15 touchdowns, but has also tossed 14 interceptions. Backup Dylan Hopkins has thrown for 563 yards and three touchdowns, but also has tossed five interceptions. The Blazers’ rushing stats are not exactly overwhelming. Spencer Brown leads the team with 527 yards, an average of 3.9 yards per carry, and has scored five touchdowns. UAB receiver Austin Watkins has caught 47 passes for 922 yards — an average of 19.9 yards per catch — and five touchdowns. “I’ve watched them on film and they’ve got a lot of good athletes offensively,” Fehr said. “They’re a solid team overall. You know they’ve got a lot of weapons at (running) back and at receiver. They’ve got a good quarterback and they’re good up front, so we have to prepare for them and be

ready for them.” “I’ve heard a lot of great things about their pro-
gram,” App State offensive tackle Victor Johnson said. “I can’t wait to play them.”
It’s been quite the season for App State this year. Not only did the Mountaineers
finish 12-1, which was the first time the team won 12 games in a regular season, but two of those wins were against Power Five conference teams. App State beat North Carolina 34-31 and South Carolina 20-15. They also beat Louisiana 45-38 in the Sun Belt Conference championship game, giving the Mountaineers their second straight title game victory. But for the second straight season, the head coach who started the season did not finish it with the Mountaineers. Eli Drinkwitz took an offer to be the head coach at Missouri, which left App State looking for a new head coach during bowl season again. The Mountaineers reacted quickly and named assistant head coach and offensive line coach Shawn Clark to be the interim coach on Dec. 9. Four days later, App State made the promotion permanent by naming Clark the head coach. Drinkwitz was hired to replace Scott Satterfield, who led App State to a 10-2 record in 2018, but was hired to be the head football coach at Louisville before the Mountaineers played in the New Orleans Bowl. Mark Ivey was the interim coach and Drinkwitz took over the program after the game. “It’s been unforgettable,” Fehr, who graduated Dec. 13 with a degree in business management and a minor in advance entrepreneurship, said. “It’s the best way to put it, especially senior year. Having the year we’ve had has been unforgettable. It’s been a great ride. There have been ups and downs along the way, but at the end of the day we’ve overcame it all and continue to work hard every day and continue to play App State football the best we can.”

Playing in postseason an Appalachian State tradition BY STEVE BEHR sports@wataugademocrat.com
BOONE — The regular football season is over at Appalachian State. Let the December tradition in the High Country begin. Not the one with the jolly fellow in the red suit and his reindeer. It’s the one that involves those big, fast guys wearing those black and gold uniforms that play in Kidd Brewer Stadium. For the fifth postseason in a row, Appalachian State will be playing in a bowl game. For the second year in a row, the Mountaineers will be the New Orleans Bowl, this time taking on Alabama-Birmingham on Dec. 21. It’s not the first time that a new coach will take the reins of the team after the Mountaineers qualified for a bowl. Scott
Satterfield coached the Mountaineers to qualify for the New Orleans Bowl in 2018, but took the head coaching position at Louisville before the game, leaving Mark Ivey the interim head coach. This year, Eli Drinkwitz coached the Mountaineers to a 12-1 record and a Sun Belt Conference championship. As it was for Satterfield last season, Drinkwitz won’t be around for the game, having taken the head coaching post at Missouri on Dec. 9. This time around, interim coach Shawn Clark was promoted to head coach and he will be in charge on Dec. 21. Clark is used to having unexpected duties placed on him since he called the plays in App State’s 4513 win over Middle Tennessee in 2018. “Last year the receivers were afraid we were going to run the ball 90 times,” Clark said. “We’re going to get the ball to
the play-makers. We’re going to have a dominant offense. We’ll get more into the details as the days go by. We’re going to have a dominant downhill run game and stress to throw vertical. We’re going to be a tough team on offense and a tough football team on defense.” A handful of coaches have guided the Mountaineers through the postseason. Sparky Woods was the first to make what was then known as the Division I-AA playoffs. His Mountaineers made two trips to the playoffs with App State reaching the third round of the 1987 playoffs. Jerry Moore tackled the task when the Mountaineers got back to the playoffs, starting with his first year with the team in 1989. App State made it to the postseason 18 times under Moore, including the 2005, 2006 and 2007 seasons when the Moun-
taineers won the Division I-AA, and what is known now as the Football Championship Subdivision national championships. When the Mountaineers moved into the Sun Belt Conference, it was Satterfield, who quarterbacked App State in the 1994 and the 1995 playoffs, who coached the Mountaineers in two Camellia Bowls (2015 and 2016) and the Dollar General Bowl in 2017. “It goes back to tradition and what this place is built on,” Clark said. “It’s what coach (Jerry) Moore built here — what these players built here. We take a lot of pride in what we do. We expect to win every football game. I don’t care who we’re playing, if we were playing the Dallas Cowboys, we expect to win. We don’t go anywhere to be second fiddle. It’s what makes us special, makes us unique.”

Thomas grew up close to UAB campus BY STEVE BEHR sports@wataugademocrat.com
BOONE — Appalachian State quarterback Zac Thomas, a junior, has thrown for 4,615 yards and 47 touchdowns in his last two seasons. He has been the Mountaineers’ starter in 24 of the games he’s played during those two years. He was named the Sun Belt Conference’s Oensive Player of the Year in 2018 and returned to the All-Sun Belt Conference team this season. When No. 20 Appalachian State plays Alabama-Birmingham in the New Orleans Bowl on Dec. 21, Thomas will recognize the Blazers’ uniforms better than most of his teammates. The Trussville, Ala. native grew up living a short distance away from the UAB campus. “Actually, UAB is about 10 minutes from me,â€? he said. “That was kind of like
a hometown team for us. They’ve got a lot of athletes who I played high school football with. Their starting safety, I played high school football with. Their quarterback is one of my good friends. I have a lot of respect for those guys and what they’ve done.� Thomas said they did not pursue him out of high school, which is Appalachian State’s gain. “They’re a really good football team,� Thomas said. “They’ve got a really good program and they’ve done some successful things.� The same could be said about the two years Thomas has been the starter for the Mountaineers. Appalachian State’s record under Thomas’ leadership at quarterback is 22-2 with two Sun Belt Conference championships, including two conference championship game victories. Appalachian State also

and reached No. 20 in the College Football Playos
poll this season. App State is the highest ranked Sun
Belt Conference team in the league’s history and is the only team ranked in the CFP in conference history. Thomas led App State to a 45-13 win over Middle Tennessee in the 2018 New Orleans Bowl. He did not have much of a chance to look at UAB, but had an idea of what to expect from his former hometown team. “They’ve got some really good defensive linemen,� Thomas said. “They’ve got two interior linemen who are really good and really destructive in the run game. They get after the quarterback and they’ve got some good linebackers and good safeties.� Thomas said that although the Mountaineers are ranked, they should take UAB seriously both in preparation and on the field. “You can’t overlook them,� Thomas said. “You SEE THOMAS ON PAGE 6

Clark’s influence on OL is appreciated by the quarterback BY STEVE BEHR sports@wataugademocrat.com
BOONE — There is a line in the football movie “North Dallas 40” when the quarterback says that the receiver keeps him on the sports pages, but the offensive linemen keep him off the obituaries. Coaching those linemen the past four seasons at Appalachian State was Shawn Clark. As of Dec. 13, Clark is the head coach at App State. His first assignment is coaching the Mountaineers in the New Orleans Bowl, where they face Alabama-Birmingham on Dec. 21. The Mountaineer that the team’s offensive line is protecting in the passing game is quarterback Zac Thomas. He places the confidence of his own health in the offensive linemen to protect him long enough to lead the Mountaineers to a win. “He does a phenomenal job with those offensive
linemen,” Thomas said. This year has been similar “You can tell that those to last year in that the guys respect him greatly. Mountaineers can still run The amount of respect the football with Darrynthat he has not just from ton Evans and Marcus those guys, but this team is Williams Jr., and still pass unreal.

put us in a position to score and that’s what it’s all about.” Appalachian State’s offensive line can take its share of the credit for having a running game that churned out an average of 229.2 yards per game. The line can take credit for Darrynton Evans gaining 1,323 yards and scoring 16 touchdowns and for the team averaging 5.3 yards per carry. But Johnson said there’s a little more to it. It starts with the line, but it goes to the receivers blocking once the running back breaks through. It helps when the passing game is clicking, so the linebackers have to keep that in mind on every down to keep an eye on their zones. But Johnson has found himself watching Evans turn a running play into a long touchdown run and feeling some satisfaction that he helped make that happen. “Every once in a while, Darrynton gets to the second level and you’re kind of far behind,” Johnson said. “You can watch and it’s amazing what those running backs do on the second level. We block the first downs and we block the touchdowns, so when a receiver gets out on his guy and Darrynton bounces it out, it’s a good feeling. It’s a team effort when you score.”

Josh Thomas to face Alabama school in bowl game again BY STEVE BEHR sports@wataugademocrat.com
BOONE — Appalachian State safety Josh Thomas probably has had more geographical ties to his home state of Alabama than anybody on the Mountaineers’ roster when it comes to playing opponents in bowl games. Thomas is a senior from Montgomery, Ala. The Mountaineers played their first two bowl games, the Camellia Bowl, in Thomas’ hometown when he was a freshman and sophomore. App State won both games, taking the first one 31-29 against Ohio on a 23-yard Zach Matics field goal as time ran out of the game in 2015. App State returned to the 2016 Camellia Bowl and claimed a 31-28 victory over Toledo thanks to a Michael Rubino 39-yard field goal

with 5:14 left in the game. Appalachian State takes on an Alabama team, this time Alabama-Birmingham in the New Orleans Bowl, on
Dec. 14. The Blazers, who lost the Conference USA championship game 49-6 to Florida Atlantic on Dec. 7, recruited Thomas out of
Montgomery Academy. “I don’t know anybody on the team but I know coach (Bill) Clark,” Thomas said. “He was still there at UAB and he recruited me there. I kept up with him over the past couple of years and they’ve had a lot of success since he’s been there. They’re a good football team and I’m excited for the challenge.” Alabama-Birmingham’s loss was definitely Appalachian State’s gain. Thomas has been a team captain the last two seasons, starting each game during both years. He was named to the Jim Thorpe watch list, an award that goes to the top safety in the country. Thomas is third on the team with 72 tackles. He has one interception, giving him seven in his collegiate career. Thomas has also recovered a fumble this season and has broken up three passes. He
intercepted a pass against South Carolina, but it was called back because of an App State penalty. His picksix against Louisiana in the Mountaineers’ 45-38 win in the Sun Belt Conference championship game did count and gave App State a 42-17 lead. He also anchors a secondary that has surrendered just 18 touchdown passes and an average of 199.6 yards per game. Thomas said that Appalachian State would have its hands full with UAB receivers Myron Mitchell and Austin Watkins Jr. Thomas said both are potentially explosive players who must be contained. “They’ve got three good receivers, especially (Mitchell) and (Watkins),” Thomas said. “They are deep threats. They’re really good at stretching the field vertically and power running. They’ve
Any Hat or Apparel Item Exp 12/31/19
Exp 12/31/19
got two big running backs and they lean on them a lot. You’ve got to stop the run and stay deep in pass coverage.” Thomas is aware that this will be his final college football game. He’s more concerned about winning the game than the fact that the Mountaineers are playing a team from Alabama, but that coincidence has crossed his mind. Instead, he wants his teammates, particularly the seniors, to have a memorable final game. “It doesn’t matter just because it’s UAB,” Thomas said. “It matters because it’s our last game of the season. My teammates, guys I’ve been in battle with for five years or so, that’s the most important thing. I want to help these guys go out with a bang. The fact that it happens to be UAB — that’s just whipped cream on top.”
