Less than four years after coming back to Boone to coach at his beloved alma mater, Shawn Clark not only became App State’s head coach, but he began his tenure with a record-breaking bowl win. Clark was hired as the 22nd head football coach in App State history on Dec. 13, 2019.

Ranked 18th in the final Amway Coaches Poll of the season, App State went 13-1 to become the first Sun Belt team and the first FBS team from North Carolina to win 13 games in a season. Clark has helped lead record-setting runs to conference titles and bowl vic- tories, not just at App State, where he played from 1994-98 and had served as an assistant since 2016, but also in four other leagues during his two decades of college coaching experience. Working for championship-winning programs at Louisville and Eastern Kentucky before being part of a bowl win for Big Ten member Purdue and coaching at Kent State, Clark has also been a vital part of App State’s historic FBS success. Overseeing talented, hard-working offensive lines, he followed a December 2018 coaching change involving college teammate ’s depar- ture for Louisville by excelling as an aggressive offensive play-caller in a 45-13 bowl victory against Middle Tennessee. With valuable experience at his dispos- al, Clark was promoted to assistant head coach before the 2019 season with Eliah Drinkwitz in his first year as a college head coach.

GAME 2 FINAL Nonconference G5 Winning Streak Ends at Marshall #23 APP STATE 7 0 0 0 — 7 Marshall 7 3 7 0 — 17 HUNTINGTON, W.Va. ­— App State’s impressive winning streak against Sept. 19 - Joan C. Edwards Stadium - Huntington, W.Va. - 12,050 Group of Five programs from outside the league ended, as Marshall pulled out a 17-7 home win in front of 12,050 fans. After a highlight-reel touchdown grab by Jalen Virgil helped tie the game to conclude App State’s first drive of the day, Marshall (2-0) kept the high-powered and 23rd-ranked Mountaineers (1-1) from scoring again, even though they advanced inside the Thundering Herd’s 10-yard line on their first two fourth-quarter possessions. App State had won its last seven games against Conference USA op- ponents since falling to Southern Miss in the Mountaineers’ third-ever FBS game in 2014. The loss snapped a 12-game winning streak against Group of Five conference teams from outside the Sun Belt. UMass, an FBS indepen- dent, defeated the Mountaineers in 2017. The win propelled the Thundering Herd to No. 25 in the AP Top 25. Marshall, moving forward from an 8-5 season in 2019, took the lead for good on Shane Ciucci’s 29-yard field goal with 2:28 left in the first half and extended its advantage on quarterback Grant Wells’ 12-yard TEAM TOTALS APP MAR keeper for a touchdown with 4:44 remaining in the third quarter.

GAME 3 FINAL Run Game Overwhelms Camels in Shorthanded Win Campbell 7 6 0 8 — 21 APP STATE 7 10 21 14 — 52 BOONE, N.C. ­— With App State’s veterans working to execute a revised Sept. 26 - Kidd Brewer Stadium - Boone, N.C. - No Attendance game plan while also assisting young teammates in new roles, a shorthanded but motivated squad overcame a slow start to dominate the last three quarters of a 52-21 win against Campbell. A determined offensive line — sometimes with as many as seven linemen on the field at one time — led the way as App State (2-1) rushed for 404 yards even though it was missing several skill position starters. One day earlier, App State and AppHealthCare announced that contact tracing had identified 18 players who are quarantining due to exposure to one of three active cases of confirmed COVID-19, with all three cases recovering in isolation. Daetrich Harrington had career highs of 32 carries for 211 yards and four rushing touchdowns, the most by a Mountaineer since Armanti Edwards against Furman in 2009. True freshman Nate Noel added 131 yards and one touchdown on 14 carries. App State’s defense shut out Campbell (0-3) from early in the second quarter until the closing minutes of the fourth, enabling the Mountaineers to turn a 13-7 deficit into a 52-13 lead.

Playing for the first time in 26 days, after the first two scheduled Sun Belt Conference games were postponed until December, App State (3-1, 1-0) began pursuit of a fifth straight league title by building a 31-7 halftime lead against the high-scoring, pass-happy Red Wolves (3-3, 2-2) in a nationally televised Thursday night game on ESPN. “Our guys like to compete, and that was the message today — go compete to see where we are as a program,” coach Shawn Clark said. With 2,100 fans in attendance based on 7-percent capacity guidelines in Kidd Brewer Stadium, there was plenty to cheer about. For the second straight meeting, the Mountaineers held Arkansas State to less than 20 points, something that’s happened only two other times to the Red Wolves in the last three regular seasons — against Alabama and Georgia.

GAME 5 FINAL App State Runs Wild While Going to 2-0 in Sun Belt APP STATE 14 7 7 3 — 31 ULM 0 7 0 6 — 13 MONROE, La. — App State’s running game was scary good. Oct. 31 - Malone Stadium - Monroe, La. - 5,493 The Mountaineers took an early lead and cruised to a 31-13 win against the ULM Warhawks behind a bruising offensive line and a steady rotation of backs on Halloween afternoon. In the storied program’s 1,000th game, Zac Thomas and Marcus Williams Jr. ran for 109 and 103 yards, respectively, while Thomas also threw a pair of touchdowns to Christian Wells and Malik Williams. The defense from App State (4-1, 2-0 Sun Belt) picked off three passes, including two by free safety Ryan Huff, and held the ULM offense to just 222 total yards. The Warhawks could not get much going other than a second-quarter touchdown drive and a touchdown pass on the final play against App State’s reserves. Despite throwing an interception on App State’s first offensive drive – on an incredible catch by ULM’s Josh Newton who scraped the ball off the back of Wells in the end zone – the Mountaineers responded by scoring touchdowns on their next two drives for a 14-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.
