THE GAME• NightfootballreturnstotheHighCountryon Saturday when No. 3 Appalachian State University (1-2) renews its rivalry with Presby-terian (1-3) at Kidd Brewer Stadium.

• Saturday’smatchupmarksthefirstregular-season night game at The Rock since the 2001 season opener, a 46-26 Appalachian win over visiting Liberty.

• ASUalsocelebratesitsannualHallofFameDay on Saturday, as four new members are inducted to the Appalachian Athletics Hall of Fame. All four inductees — football stand-outsWayneByrdandDexterCoakley,men’sgolfer Andrew Pitts and longtime field hockey coach Dr. Jan Watson — as well as Special Service Award winner Dr. Judy Clarke will also be recognized during a special ceremony at halftime.

• AppalachianandPresbyterianaremeet-ing for the first time in 39 years. ASU and PC squared off 16 times between 1946-69. Three of those contests (1965-67) came as members of the Carolinas Conference.

• TheBlueHoseholda9-7advantageintheall-time series. PC is one of only three teams on this season’s schedule that the Mountain-eer have a losing record against (LSU and Furman are the others).

• Presbyterian,whichbeganitstransitiontoNCAA Division I status a year ago, is in its first season as a member of the Big South Confer-ence. ASU is 40-15-2 all-time against current members of the BSC.

• RecenthistorypointstowardstheMoun-taineers bouncing back from last week’s heart-breaking setback at James Madison, as the Apps have followed each of their last 15 losseswithawininthenextgame.Appala-chian last lost back-to-back games when it dropped the first two decisions of the 2003 season at Hawaii and Eastern Kentucky.

• Apairofrecord-breakingquarterbackswill be on display in Appalachian’s Armanti Edwards and Presbyterian’s Tim Webb. One of only seven quarterbacks to ever pass for 2,000 yards and rush for 1,000 yards in the same season, Edwards set the NCAA Division I (FCS or FBS) record for rushing yards by a quarterback when he torched Richmond for 313 yards on the ground in last year’s national semifinals. Webb, who set Big South records for pass completions and attempts (37-for-56) in this season’s opener versus Wofford, lit up North Greenville for 648 yards through the air last season. The 648 passing yards were the most ever by an FCS signal-caller, but are not officially part of the record book due to Presbyterian’s transitional status.

ALPHABETICAL ROSTER



NO. 7 (FBS) LSU 41, NO. 1 APPALACHIAN 13AUG. 30, 2008 • BATON ROUGE, LA.TIGER STADIUM (ATT. 91,922)

BATON ROUGE, La. — A year after stunning the college-football world with a season-opening victory at Michigan, No. 1 (FCS) Appalachian State University football couldn’t repeat the same feat at LSU in the 2008 season opener, falling 41-13 to No. 7 (FBS) LSU at Tiger Stadium. LSU’sfrontlinesstymiedtheMountaineersallday,astheTigersrushedfor266yardswhilelimitingtheAppalachiangroundattacktojust52rushingyardson28carries.CharlesScottdidthemajorityofLSU’sworkonthegroundwith160yardsandtwoscoreson16carries.ASUquarterbackArmantiEdwards,facingstrongpressure all afternoon, completed 13 of his 31 attempts for 155 yards to pace an offensive attack that had difficulty getting in rhythm before the hostile crowd of 91,922. His target of choice for most of the afternoon was CoCo Hillary set career highs with nine receptions for 80 yards. Appalachian appeared to emerge from the locker room at halftime invigorated, forcing a three-and-out on LSU’s first possession and then stalling the Tigers’ second series of the half. The Mountaineers took over possession on their own 40-yard line and marched 74 yards to cross the goal line for the first time with a 44-yard strike from Edwards to Robert Welton on a route out of the backfield. The 44-yard touchdown pass, ASU’s longest offensive play of the game, capped a 7-play, 60-yard drive. After a 33-yard field goal from LSU’s Josh Jasper made the score 34-7, the Mountaineer defense continued to make plays with Jacque Roman picking off a Jarrett Lee pass on the LSU 24 yard line near the end of the third quarter. Roman returned the ball to the 11 yard line but the Mountaineer offense couldn’t fully capitalize on the field position, settling for a 24-yard Jason Vitaris field goal on the first play of the fourth quarter. LSUextendeditsleadto41-10onBrandonLaFell’ssecondtouchdowncatchoftheafternoon,a39-yardconnectionfromLeewitha10:03leftinthecontest.TheMountaineers narrowed that margin on their final possession of the game as freshman quarterback DeAndre Presley drove the Apps to the LSU 13 yard line with a 32-yard pass to Devin Radford. Presley was shaken up on the play and a botched snap and a sack quickly forced the Mountaineers to settle for a 44-yard field goal from Vitaris to close the scoring. TheTigersjumpedtoaquick14-0leadwith5:40remaininginthefirstquarter,needingjusttwoplaysfromscrimmagetotakea7-0leadaftertheApps’openingdrive stalled at LSU’s 36-yard line. Taking over after a failed fourth-down conversion, Scott went 55 yards on the Tigers’ first play from scrimmage all the way to the ASU8-yardline.Ontheverynextplay,Scottscoredfromeightyardsout. The Tigers’ ensuing possession found paydirt when a 10-play, 56-yard drive culminated with a 17-yard pass from Andrew Hatch to Demetrius Bryd. Appalachian’s defense began to settle down at the onset of the second quarter when the ASU linebacking corps made a pair of stops at its own 3 yard line to limit the Tigers to a 21-yard field goal that gave LSU a 17-0 lead. D.J. Smith made both of the big stands with Pierre Banks and Roman assisting on one each to stymie the 9-play, 60-yard drive. For the game, Roman led the Apps with 12 tackles and Smith chipped in 11. LSU added to its first-half lead with a pair of touchdowns in the second quarter to carry a 31-0 lead into halftime. The Tigers added points on a 31-yard Jarrett LeepasstoawideopenBrandonLaFellwith5:35leftbeforeintermission.A29-yardtouchdownjauntbyScottonfourth-and-incheswithlessthanaminutetoplayin the opening half gave the Tigers’ the 31-0 halftime advantage. In all, the Tigers out-gained the Apps, 323-119, in the first half, with 193 of those yards coming on the ground. Scott accounted for 144 rushing yards on 12 carries and two touchdowns in the first half alone. NOTES: Eight Mountaineers made their first career starts (DT Malcolm Bennett, WR Blake Elder, WR B.J.

Robert Welton’s 44-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter were the first reception and touchdown of the sophomore’s career ... Jacque Roman’s third-quarter interception was the first of his career and it set up the first field goal of kicker Jason Vitaris’ career ... the crowd of 91,922 at Tiger Stadium was the second-largest to ever see ASU play, behind only the 109,218 on hand for last year’s opener at Michigan ... the crowd included a contingentof3,500Mountaineerfaithful...sixtruefreshmenplayedintheirfirstcollegiategames–DemeryBrewer,WilsonFitchett,EdGainey,McDuffie,DeAndrePresley and Lanston Tanyi ... due to the time change associated with Louisiana’s preparations for Hurricane Gustav, the game was broadcast on ESPN Classic and ASU’s perfect 12-0 record on ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU remained intact ... however, Appalachian’s 13-game winning streak in nationally televised games was snapped ... it was the Mountaineers’ first loss on national TV since a 24-14 setback to Wofford on The Football Network in 2003.

NO. 5 JAMES MADISON 35, NO. 1 APPALACHIAN 32SEPT. 20, 2008 • HARRISONBURG, VA.BRIDGEFORTH STADIUM (ATT. 17,163)

HARRISONBURG, Va. — The meeting between NCAA Division I FCS powerhouses Appalachian State University and James Madison lived up to the billing with No. 5 JMU overcoming a 21-point halftime deficit to upend No. 1 Appalachian, 35-32, in a thrilling contest at soldout Bridgeforth Stadium. The Mountaineers (1-2) built up their 21-0 halftime advantage by winning the field position battle and outgaining the Dukes 223-66 in the half. However, the tide quicklyturnedafterhalftimewithJMU’sScottyMcGeereturningtheopeningkickofthehalf99yardsforthefirstsixof14-straightpointsfortheDukes.

TheAppstriedtoquelltherallyonJMU’snextpossessionwhenLeonardLoveinterceptedaLanders’pass,givingASUtheballontheJMU34-yardline.ASU’sdrivestalled out but Jason Vitaris was able to boot a 30-yard field goal through the uprights to make the score 24-14 with 6:09 left in the quarter. Unfortunately, the three points did little to strip the Dukes of their momentum as a perfect Landers pump fake made for a wide open Griff Yancey up the middle of the field. Landers completed the play for a 35-yard touchdown to cap the two-play strike. JMU took their first lead of the evening to open up the fourth quarter scoring with 4-yard Eugene Holloman carry off left tackle to make the score 28-24 with 10:48 remaining in the contest. The Apps appeared poised to answer and drove the ball down to the JMU 24-yard line before the JMU defense managed to strip Welton of the ball after a hard-fought 11-yard run. JMU recovered the loose ball on their own 13-yard line and 10 plays later Landers carried the ball in from the 1-yard line put JMU up 35-24 with less than three minutes to play. ASU kept fighting as Edwards pulled a few more tricks out of his bag, engineering a 49-second drive that ended with a Welton 1-yard carry to the endzone. The Apps elected to go for two and Edwards, unable to find an open receiver, carried the ball across the goaline to put ASU within a field goal at 35-32 with 1:42 left in the contest. The Mountaineers had two chances to recover the onside kick as JMU was whistled for an offsides infraction on the first attempt. However, the Dukes managed to recover the second attempt and a Landers quick kick on fourth down ran out the clock and ASU’s comeback hopes. ASU scored first on a 6-yard run from Devon Moore that was set up by a Mark LeGree interception. In the second quarter, Edwards found Josh Johnson on the endline for an 11-yard strike. Welton added ASU’s third first-half touchdown with a 2-yard score with 31 seconds left in the half.
