ANGEL AMONG US

Vol. 89, No. 12

Angel Elderkin named women’s head basketball coach

by Cory Spiers Sports Editor

Former LSU assistant women’s basketball coach Angel Elderkin has been named the eighth head coach in Appalachian State University women’s basketball history, interim director of athletics Rick Beasley announced Wednesday.

The search for a new head coach began immediately after former head coach Darcie Vincent resigned Sept. 5.

“Right after we had the resignation, we had about 40 applicants,” Beasley said. “We were looking for who was the right fit.

We were also looking for a leader to develop our student athletes.

Angel’s resume speaks for itself.”

Elderkin has been coaching since 1999, when she served as a special assistant to the head coach at East Tennessee State before taking an assistant coaching job at Siena in 2001.

Elderkin also worked at Tennessee, Virginia and St. John’s in various capacities including director of video operations before taking her most recent job as an assistant coach at LSU. Last season, Elderkin’s LSU team went 21-13 overall and ranked No. 24 nationally in the final USA Today women’s basketball poll.

Throughout Elderkin’s 12 seasons as an assistant coach, video coordinator and graduate assistant, Elderkin’s teams have advanced to postseason play 10 times and won five conference championships. She has

also coached two all-American players and four student athletes who went on to play in the WNBA. Elderkin also served as a recruiting coordinator for four recruiting classes ranked in the top 20 nationally.

Elderkin has worked with Women’s Basketball Hall of Famers Debbie Ryan and Pat Summit at Virginia and Tennessee, respectively.

However, Elderkin credited LSU head coach Nikki Caldwell the most for the things she has learned.

‘Ugly Instinct’ explores the dark side of nature

Courtesy of Samuel Monroe Brown Senior journalism major Kate Smith (left) and junior studio art major Lindsey Willis (right) pose to promote their collaborative show ‘Ugly Instinct’ happening at Nth Gallery on Friday.

by Lovey Cooper Senior A&E Reporter

Senior journalism major Kate Smith and junior studio art major Lindsey Willis open “Ugly Instinct,” their first collaborative art show together as friends and creators, this Friday at Nth Degree Gallery located on King Street.

The body of work circles around the natural instincts to pray, to mate, to possess things and conquer them. In animals, these are seen as almost beautiful, Smith explained.

“But when you take that instinct into yourself it can destroy you,” Smith said. “I feel like it’s so natural for us to want to do those things to other human beings, but that’s almost like succumbing to a baser intuition.”

Their combined work plays off of that “ugliness” with the visual themes of organic conflict – almost disturbing subject matter treated with peaceful, serene imagery. The hope is to shed some light on this essential conflict that cannot be removed from humanity and the role it plays in human relationships. For them, the drive to be selfish is the drive to survive, both artistically and as a person.

“It’s the only reason we make art,” Smith said. “But at the same time it’s the reason why we have burned bridges in the past or hurt people in the past, or have regrets – it’s the same exact instinct in both of us that does so many good things and so many bad things.”

These underlying feelings came to fruition throughout the growth of the two artists’ friendship, which began when they first met in a mosh pit at a metal show in February.

“She looked like she was in heaven,” Willis said of Smith’s crowdsurfing.

After a few chance encounters, Smith and Willis began

es and people,” Elderkin said.

“Caldwell has been my mentor.

She has guided me and made me the coach I am today.”

Caldwell said Elderkin is prepared for success at App State.

“Elderkin is going to be a great head coach for Appalachian State,” Caldwell said in a statement. “She understands how to motivate people while maintaining a positive relationship with her players. Angel has a love and passion to grow the game and fully understands the importance of giving back to the community.”

Elderkin said she already feels a connection with the team and

community.

“When I left the meeting, my heart told me App State was home,” Elderkin said. “I’m so excited to be a part of this Appalachian State family.”

Elderkin said she plans on being active in the community. As for the mindset she brings to the team, she said to expect the Mountaineers to put on a show for fans.

“We are going to play hard, smart and together,” Elderkin said. “That is going to be App State basketball. I promise you’ll have a product you’re proud of on and off the court.”

Elderkin’s introduction to the

team was emotional. The team attended the introductory press conference for Elderkin Wednesday, sitting in the front rows.

“I met my new family and they greeted me with a hug,” Elderkin said. “It was one of the greatest welcomes I’ve had in my coaching career. I am really excited and grateful. I can’t even express it.”

The Mountaineers will practice for the first time under Elderkin on Sunday at the Holmes Convocation Center.

The practice will be open to the public. Elderkin said that all of the team’s practices will be open throughout the season.

Feminist Pride Day inclusive to all

by Nicole Caporaso News Reporter

Feminist Pride Day was hosted by the Appalachian State University Women’s Center on Oct. 1, with the theme “Feminism is for Everybody,” held on Sanford Mall from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“Feminist Pride Day is an event to spread the message of what feminism really is, trying to help people understand that it’s not about tearing down different people,” said Bevin Robinson, a volunteer at the Women’s Center.

“It’s about making everyone equal.”

Under the tent, buttons were sold for $1 and T-shirts for $5.

Debate team argues its way to victory

by Thomas Culkin Intern News Reporter

The Appalachian State University debate team was one of eight schools that competed in a national competition in Chicago from Sept. 26-28.

In debate competitions, the teams are broken into groups of two. Appalachian took ten members, entering five teams into the competition. Mark Bentley, the Appalachian debate team coach, said a total of 40 teams were competing from the eight schools that attended.

The debate topics ranged from national affairs, such as whether the federal government should increase regulation of drones in the United States, to international issues, such as whether or not the British House of Commons should pass a vote of no confidence on Prime Minister David Cameron.

Everts addresses ‘Appalachian family’, diversity at SGA meeting

by Nicole Caporaso News Reporter

Chancellor Sheri N. Everts spoke at Tuesday night’s Student Government Association Senate meeting, addressing the Appalachian family, the university’s strengths and what she would like to see improved.

Everts said she wanted to tell members of SGA “what they already knew, from an outsider’s perspective.”

“I’ve always chosen universities based on whether or not students are what matter most,” Everts said at the meeting. “When I was named your chancellor in March, you were everywhere and so welcoming and kind and talking about this thing called the Appalachian family, which I’ve seen such dramatic evidence of in my first few months.”

Everts said she learned the most about the reality of the Ap-

palachian family on some of her toughest days as chancellor.

“The toughest thing about being a chancellor is losing a student – that was a really difficult time,” Everts said. “I think if there’s any good that comes from that time, it is that trying times that help you see what the university is made of.”

Everts said she has talked with various groups and students on campus and has heard one repeated concern that she

Visiting speaker discusses the power of human actions

by Nicole Caporaso News Reporter

Daniel Barbezat, the co-author of “Contemplative Practices in Higher Education: Powerful Methods to Transform Teaching and Learning” spoke to faculty, students and staff in the Parkway Ballroom Tuesday afternoon.

Barbezat is also a professor of economics at Amherst College and executive director at The Center for Contemplative Mind in Society.

Vachel Miller, the interim director of the doctoral program in Educational Leadership in the College of Education, said one of the most important things for educational leaders to do is “creative nothing.”

“What that means – and I think what Dan Barbezat is here to talk with us about – is an art and a science of doing nothing, but it’s not just any kind of nothing,” Miller said. “Cultivating a contemplative presence in the world is about openness and spaciousness, curiosity and affirming that kind of nothing.”

The main focus of Barbezat’s talk was how every action we, as humans, take “cultivates something.”

“Our actions, our thoughts, our interactions have profound and absolute impact on the planet, that’s a fact,” Barbezat said. “The question is, given that there is this impact, given that everything we do cultivates something, produces something, the question becomes, what are we going to cultivate?”

Barbezat noted in his speech that in 2013 there were 400 Americans that were in possession of more wealth than half the population of the United States.

“Millions, billions, several billion [people] don’t have access to clean water,” Barbezat said. “Something is amiss, something is profoundly amiss and our activity is generating this result.”

The key point of Barbezat’s solution was education.

“Higher education should be about answering this question: do we provide our students the means to create such a meaningful inquiry?” Barbezat asked of the audience. “Community can be a place where intention can interact, if we have that intention and vision and develop a way to engage with that inquiry, we can begin to see with awareness.”

Barbezat’s steps for the groundwork of change were broken down to vision and intention, awareness, discernment and focus, action and analysis.

“Practices that cultivate awareness are essential for living a life of meaning,” Barbezat said. “In order to engage in action in this wider world, we need – we absolutely need – to examine, explore and discern what is arising within us. It is the only way in fact we can meet one another, be with one another.”

Barbezat said it is possible to create the vibrant world in which we would like to manifest and the concepts he presented can not only be used in the classroom, but also in other areas.

“We can engage these practices in residential halls, in cafeterias, in the counseling center, in athletics,” Barbezat said.

Barbezat’s lecture was sponsored by Appalachian’s University College and a grant from the Center for Contemplative Mind in Society, according to news. appstate.edu.

would like to work on during her time as chancellor.

“One of the things I have heard repeatedly is associated with diversity,” Everts said.

“Making progress in regard to student body numbers and diverse faculty and staff.”

Everts said when she left Illinois State University, 25 percent of the university’s student body was made of a diverse background, while six years ago the university only had 11 per-

Two Appalachian students also scored well in the individual rankings, with Mackenzie Bruckner, a sophomore communication studies major finishing third and Sam Vaughn, a junior theatre arts major finishing fifth.

“In addition to winning and losing the round, you get speaker points in each debate,” Bentley said. “[They’re] given for presentation, but also the quality of your arguments.”

Amanda Bass, a senior advertising major, said Appalachian’s debate team has a storied tradition.

FEMINISM

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 There was also information available to the public and an “I heart feminism” photo shoot.

Robinson said the purpose of the photo shoot gave people the opportunity to display why feminism is important to them.

Eli Farmer, a first-time Women’s Center volunteer, said he plans on volunteering with other events in the future.

“As a male I can use my male privilege to benefit the women’s movement,” Farmer said. “At the base level, all feminism is women wanting the same rights as men – what’s

cent.

Everts said she would also like to work on include increased leadership opportunities for faculty and staff, increasing graduation rates and more online opportunities for students.

“She’s relatively new to the Appalachian family, but she has definitely put a lot of time, a lot of passion and effort to helping this university grow, as well as helping students,” SGA vice president Daniel Tassitino said.

“We have been very successful in the past,” Bass said. “Two years ago, we won the [Georgia State University] college debate tournament – a huge national tournament – and we probably went against two hundred other teams.”

This is Mark Bentley’s first year as the head coach of the debate team.

He was previously the debate coach at Cedarville University in Cedarville, Ohio.

Members of the team said they hope the addition of Bentley will bring some stability to a team that has experienced turmoil in recent semesters.

“For the past couple years, we’ve lagged a little bit,” Bass said. “It was mainly changing leaderships.”

The debate team will attend another competition in St. Louis over Appalachian’s fall break.

wrong with that?”

Farmer said the stigma surrounding feminism that it is “anti-men” is not true.

“I think people get hung up on that, but if people sit down and do maybe three seconds of research they’ll realize that’s not the case,” Farmer said.

Robinson said Feminist Pride Day is an important day to the Women’s Center.

“It helps to get our message out, people will understand that we’re here to help everybody and we’re here for benefitting everybody,” Robinson said. “We’re here to help students who may not have the funds to come to school.”

Christians are not discriminated against in America Opinion Writer

A recent Pew Research study has helped confirm what many who have been observing religion in this country have already noticed. Many Christians feel that they are highly discriminated against in the U.S. Half of white, evangelical Protestants believe they receive a great deal of discrimination, while only 31 percent of the general public feels the same, according to the Sept.

22 study.

Any objective look at the reality shows this is nonsense.

Around 83 percent of the country is Christian, according to a July 18 ABC News poll. Every day in this country, Christians practice their religion freely.

There is no denial of basic

gion.

Particularly, conservative Christians, view these changes as an assault on their religious views. They conflate not getting one’s way with being discriminated against or persecuted.

Having your religion mocked or criticized public is not persecution. It is a necessary part of a free society of individuals who get to choose what they believe.

A second, but no less important, dimension to this problem is the role of persecution in Christian history.

Throughout history, Christians have been genuinely persecuted for their beliefs.

Many still are today in places around the world.

The central story in Christianity is that of Christ’s unjust suffering, and believers are told to model themselves after Christ.

In the New Testament, there are numerous verses associated with suffering for the cause, and the expectation

Opinion Copy Editor

Christians must suffer for that cause.

“Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution,” proclaims 2 Timothy 3:12 of the King James Version of the Bible.

For Christians living safely in America who have encountered these messages all their lives, there is some idea that suffering for the cause is part of being Christian.

The attitudes many Christians hold are important for the larger question of religion in America.

For some, particularly young people and those not associated with religions, this false sense of victimization can easily be interpreted as out of touch with reality and pathetic. It is.

If Christians at large want to engage people, they have to find a way of dealing with these peculiar attitudes.

services to Christians. We do not jail, torture or murder Christians for practicing their religion.

It is possible one might find an isolated case in which a Christian has been discriminated against, but the idea of widespread Christian persecution has no basis.

What underpins this skewed perception of reality has roots in the social changes that have taken place over the past few decades and in basic elements of Christianity.

For a long time in this country, Christians pretty much got their way in public life.

The questions of sexual freedom, gay rights, abortion, the separation of church and state and the broader religious discourse were squarely on the side of conservative Christians.

Now, Christianity has lost the sanctity it once had. Social attitudes on those issues have shifted from the old way of thinking and there is a greater tolerance for criticism of reli-

In the ongoing debate on education in the United States, it’s no surprise that the public favorability of importance of college education has decreased.

But in the eyes of that same public, proper education for future educators is of the utmost importance.

The second portion of the 46th annual PDK-Gallup poll published in September revealed only 43 percent of the national polling population believes a college education is very important, according to the Washington Post.

At first glance this seems like a shockingly negative black-and-white statistic.

However, 48 percent of the polled population believes college education is fairly important, and 9 percent finds it not too important.

The same poll asked whether or not teachers should be held to the same board certification standards as in other professions such as medicine and law. Surprisingly, 85 percent of the national total said yes. Furthermore, 44 percent of the national total polled believe teachers in training should receive guided instruction for at least one year.

Americans are contradicting themselves. We don’t find college education as important as we used to, but we are pushing for teachers to be more qualified. We don’t think that college graduates are career-ready, but college education is seen as very important to fewer people.

Fortunately, and regardless of prestigious qualification, Teach For America is an organization that is working toward giving future teachers and students the best preparation possible.

This poll goes against the philosophy of the organization, which recruits recent college graduates and places them in five-week programs during the summer to prepare them for teaching at the beginning of a school year.

Teach For America corps members are placed based on need in specific regions, and are offered competitive salaries and benefits. Within the last 25 years, Teach For America has recruited over 47,000 individuals to commit to two years to teaching in some of America’s neediest schools, according to the Washington Post.

It is disheartening to read that for the population, college education is not at a higher percentage of favorability. We are preoccupied with getting the best teachers possible, but do not favor the very institutions that can provide them.

For hopeful future educators, we are discouraging.

What’s worse is that when those students prepare themselves to enter the workforce, we tell them that they are not qualified enough.

Teach For America thankfully recognizes the importance of education and hopes to ignite the attention and energy for every person to care about the education of our future leaders.

Keller Williams returns to the High Country

by Aleah Warner Intern A&E Reporter

K

eller Williams returns to the High Country for the first time in four years Thursday, bringing his one-ofa-kind performance to fans at Appalachian State University.

The show will take place at Legends and is brought to students by Appalachian Popular Programming Society concerts council.

Williams has been performing since childhood, starting in his church choir at a young age and moving on to playing acoustic guitar with a band in his teenage years. Realizing he was more profitable on his own, Williams eventually departed from the band and started his career as a solo performer.

In order to distinguish himself from other solo artists, Williams began using the technique of live phrase looping in his performances. Live phrase looping allows him to record himself playing an instrument, which he is then able to loop and playback as he joins in on

other instruments.

Williams’s music has been known to combine a variety of genres, effortlessly flowing an acoustic sound with elements of electronic, jam and dance grooves.

“He’s considered within the music industry one of the foremost guitarists out there,” said Randy Kelly, the APPS program coordinator. “It’s great acoustic music done clearly and perfectly and with a pleasant beat that makes everybody feel good. I’ve never seen anyone come to a Keller Williams show and not leave with a smile on their face.”

Williams considers himself to have a weekend warrior mentality, focusing largely on performing at music festivals year round. He has performed at events such as the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, Summer Camp Music Festival, Lockn’ Music Festival and more locally, Merlefest.

In addition to performing solo, Williams often collaborates with musicians to achieve a different sound. His more popular collaborations have

been the Keller Williams Incident, Keller & the Keels and Keller Williams with Moseley, Droll and Snipe.

“I’ve seen Keller play a number of times and every time I see him I’m impressed by how much energy he brings to the stage,” said Alexander Adzima, a senior construction management major. “He always looks super happy up there. He also is very creative. He will make up songs on the spot and improvise the lyrics.”

Williams said he is looking forward to returning to Boone and reconnecting with old friends and new faces.

“I definitely think there’s an element of coolness that flocks to Boone and it’s a special east coast city that’s unlike other cities,” Williams said.

Keller Williams performs Oct. 2 at 9 p.m. at Legends.

Tickets are $12 for students in advance and $16 at the door.

‘Horn in the West’ outdoor drama faces uncertain future

Rachel Krauza Horn In The West Wednesday afternoon. Horn In The West has been granted an extension on their permit to operate after being challenged by the town of Boone.

by Lovey Cooper Senior A&E Reporter

Following a nearly year-long struggle between the Town of Boone and Horn in the West, the local historical outdoor drama that has been running since 1952 now has until the end of the year to sort out their licensing agreement in response to safety demands from the town.

Students and community members spoke out at a public hearing Sept. 18 in

response to mounting debates, but the future of the space is currently unknown past the end of the year.

The Southern Appalachian Historical Association, the organization that runs Horn in the West, as well as the Hickory Ridge Homestead Museum, has had an ongoing miscommunication issue with the Town of Boone.

The Town of Boone owns all of the Horn in The West theater space, Hickory Ridge Living History Museum,

Strawberry Hill trails and Daniel Boone gardens, as well as the parking lot that houses the Watauga County Farmer’s Market and student parking. Individual agencies, like Horn in the West, then receive licenses to use the property.

“Back in November, there was an issue and I came into the matter when I heard that the town was going in and tearing the stage and scenery down without any notice; them having decided that because we had an absolute terrible season that prior summer and they were planning to spend $20,000 to tear the decrepit stage down with no plans to rebuild,” said Emily Candelario, a senior theatre major and past participant with Horn in the West, who fronted student efforts against this issue.

Katy Cook, a SAHA spokesman, told the High Country Press in May that the two primary factors leading to the financial difficulties that caused the facilities to suffer in quality and upkeep were due to rained out shows the season before and the loss of a $5,000 N.C. Arts Council grant.

Members of the student body and community protested this first move against Horn in the West at the Jones House during a meeting of the cultural arts board in November 2013. SAHA was able to work out a new license agreement with the town for that summer’s upcoming season of performances.

However, “SAHA also failed to complete agreed upon work prior to the

start of the 2014 season of Horn in the West and has yet to finish it…. The town, in good faith, issued a conditional certificate of occupancy so SAHA’s season could begin on time, based on SAHA’s promise to complete this work,” Mayor Andy Ball wrote in a letter to the organization dated Aug. 22 – that SAHA officials said they received days late, in one of many communication issues.

During the last week of the show that summer, theater technicians, including Candelario, arrived one night to find that the town had cut off the power supply.

“To my knowledge, someone from the Town of Boone came in on our only day off and claimed that our lighting design, the footlights at the front of the stage, were not properly wired, etc., for safety standards,” Candelario said. “Keep in mind, we perform on a sand stage.”

Horn in the West convinced town council to allow them finish the final 6 shows of their season, but revoked their license shortly after.

Candelario became the grassroots leader in student involvement for an organization called Supporters of SAHA, or SOS, who gathered nearly 1,500 signatures on a petition to keep the theater in business.

A public debate went on for over two hours at the town council meeting to decide the issue on Sept. 19, ending in a 4-1 vote, with Jennifer Peña opposed to the reinstatement of the license until the end of this year.

SAGA hosts annual Amateur Drag Show at Legends

by Kelsey Hamm Intern A&E Reporter

The Sexuality and Gender Alliance will put on its annual fall Amateur Drag Show on Thursday at 7:30 p.m at Legends.

The theme of this year’s show is musical legends, which will have performers bring life to some of the iconic artists and songs of all time. The show will feature seven performances, including solo acts, duets, trios and quintets, said Jerry Yelton, the SAGA Vice President of Community Outreach. Every performer will be making their drag show debut.

“The competition categories are Mr. and Miss Appalachian,

one title for a queen and one title for a king,” Yelton said. “The five judges are figures from around the Appalachian community, all of whom have shown dedication to the LGBTQ community by making certain that they have a home in the Appalachian Family.”

The event in previous years has been either sold out or near maximum capacity. This year’s show will last two hours, and audience members will be allowed to tip performers throughout the night.

Kate Rawson, a junior psychology major and first time drag show performer, never would have participated if it wasn’t for the support of SAGA

“There are those really overwhelming moments that you get when you’re by yourself, and it’s almost like nature or an animal or a person is so present that you almost feel claustrophobic,” Smith said.

“For me, a lot of those moments feel like

and the LGBT community.

“I think attending a drag show can be uncomfortable the first time, but this is good because [attending] makes you question your definitions of acceptable gender expression,” Rawson said. “Most importantly, this event shows that anyone is free to be themselves, or someone else, and have a great time doing it. The audience is sure to have a blast.”

Yelton said the drag show and other events hosted by SAGA, TRANSaction and the LGBT Center are important for showing students of all sexual and gender minorities that they have a place and a home at Appalachian, in conjunction with the

the revelations where art comes from.”

They connected on a level without judgment, something that Willis notes is hard to find in an artistic collaborator.

When Willis’ studio professor encouraged her to seek out a showing at the Nth, she wasn’t confident in her own solo work, and instead reached out to Smith with the idea to collaborate in July.

Both realized they each had their own collections of bones and skulls, which they had accumulated on their own for

organizations’ goal to provide students with a place to be themselves without judgment.

“Drag allows people to engage themselves in manners that may not be societally ‘normal’ or ‘acceptable’ under other circumstances,” Yelton said. “We are here to provide a time for students to explore the gendered norms that have been created on male and female genders. This is a time to break down barriers and let people simply have fun and enjoy themselves.”

Sophomore biology major Matt Brown attended the Amateur Drag Show last year and found the event to be educational about gender identity.

“I think many people have a

These two entirely separate things that brought them together now play out in “Ugly Instinct.” The bones that brought them together will be featured in installation pieces at the gallery.

“I think we saw something similar in each other’s art – there was the skull collection, but there was also something deeper,” Smith said.

view of gender as either male or female,” Brown said. “It can be much more complex than that.

Gender is fluid, and what you are physically can be much different than how you identify mentally.”

Yelton hopes that the presence of SAGA and other campus LGBT organizations will continue to foster an inclusive and safe environment for Appalachian students, for those that identify within the LGBTQ community and as allies.

“We need to continue striving toward better inclusion of transpersons and less known genders and sexual identities,” Yelton said. “But, we are making the beginning steps to make differences one day at a time.”

For the past few months, the two have been working daily on their own works and a single piece together, channeling their bad feelings into each other and their art, and coming out with something beautiful.

“We don’t want anyone to give in to us, and we don’t want to give in to each other,” Smith said. “All good art and all good literature has some core tension, and our friendship kind of does too.”

“Ugly Instinct” opens Friday at 7:30 p.m. in the Nth Degree Gallery.

Caging the Jaguars

8

by Cory Spiers

Sports Editor

Leaning on Law Sophomore inside linebacker John Law led the way against Georgia Southern in App State’s last game as he amassed a career-high 16 tackles.

Law leads all App State defensive players with 34 tackles on the season and will have to continue to be a force if the Mountaineers are to notch its first Sun Belt win.

Law has three tackles for a loss and one sack on the season.

Home cooking App State has not played at Kidd Brewer Stadium in almost a month.

The Mountaineers will finally get support from the home crowd Saturday against South Alabama – a factor that should not be overlooked when considering App State’s chances in this game.

Since throttling Campbell 66-0 in Boone, App State has dropped two straight decisions on the road.

During that stretch, the Mountaineers played two games in a six-day span and traveled 2,294 miles.

The crowd should be ready to cheer for the Mountaineers with the matchup being the first home Sun Belt game of the year. A home game might be just what the team needs at this point in the season.

Stout Jaguars defense The South Alabama defense is one of the toughest in the Sun Belt which presents an intriguing challenge for redshirt freshman quarterback Taylor Lamb and the rest of the App State offense.

The Jaguars rank second in the conference in points allowed (21.5) and yards allowed per game (370) and also have the second-highest scoring defense in the conference (21.5 ppg).

The App State offense has moved the ball well with Lamb at quarterback, but this could very well be the team’s toughest test since Michigan in week one.

Stopping a veteran squad The Jaguars have 13 underclassmen on its roster.

The other 44 are juniors and seniors, making South Alabama one of the nation’s most veteran teams.

The Mountaineers have their share of veteran leaders like Simms McElfresh and Deuce Robinson, but facing an older South Alabama team should be an interesting test.

The majority of the players on the South Alabama roster know what it takes to play at this level and have had their share of games in hostile environments.

That means they’ll be ready to play at The Rock.

Jaguars’ struggling offense As good as the South Alabama defense has been, the same cannot be said for the offense.

The Jaguars rank in the bottom four of the Sun Belt in scoring (16.5 ppg), rushing (155.8 ypg), passing (198.5 ypg) and total offense (354.2 ypg).

South Alabama has been held under 10 points twice in its first four games, and have scored more than 10 only once – in its opening week victory over Kent State.

The Jaguars were held to 10 points against Idaho last week, and scored a combined nine points in two games against Mississippi State and Georgia Southern in September.

QB Taylor Lamb Lamb has had his share of success since taking over the starting job over junior Kameron Bryant in App State’s third game, but is 0-2 since earning the position.

In his debut, Lamb completed 28 of 40 passes for 264 yards and two touchdowns. He followed up that performance by completing 23 of 42 passes for 256 yards.

While Lamb has looked relatively comfortable in two road starts, he has also thrown four interceptions in the two games.

Lamb should be able to settle down more this week with his first home start.
