GAME 1 FINAL App State Opens Year With Win In Drinkwitz’s Debut ETSU 0 0 7 0 — 7 APP STATE 7 7 14 14 — 42 BOONE, N.C. — Junior quarterback Zac Thomas accounted for three Aug. 31 - Kidd Brewer Stadium - Boone, N.C. - 25,147 touchdowns, including two through the air to Malik Williams and Thomas Hennigan, as Appalachian State won 42-7 against visiting East Tennessee State in the FBS head coaching debut for Eliah Drinkwitz. On the day App State celebrated the 30th anniversary of Hall of Fame coach Jerry Moore’s arrival in Boone, Drinkwitz picked up his first victory in his first game since being hired in December 2018. Starting a season at home in Boone for the first time since 2015, the Mountaineers increased their lead to 21-0 on the opening drive of the third quarter against the FCS-level Buccaneers. “When you win, it’s a lot of fun,” said Drinkwitz, who is also App State’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. “There were a couple times I was sitting back there talking, and I forgot that I needed to be watching the defense. It was different. I had a couple of times that I needed to lock in and flip over to defense to make sure I was on top of that. When I was a seventh-grade coach, I coached both offense and defense, so I never had to switch over the headsets, but this was a little bit different.” TEAM TOTALS ETSU APP Darrynton Evans and receiver Jalen Virgil joined Thomas in rushing 2018 REVIEW GAME NOTES FIRST DOWNS Total 17 25 for one touchdown apiece, and Jacob Huesman threw a fourth-quarter Appalachian State increased its Rushing 8 13 touchdown pass to true freshman Christian Wells. home winning streak to 11 games, Passing 7 11 a total that ranks fourth among the Penalty 2 1 Hennigan made a career-high seven catches for 79 yards to lead the nation’s Group of Five programs.

They needed every bit of it, with Darrynton Evans answering each big second-half play from the 49ers. “Any win is a good win,” coach Eliah Drinkwitz said. “I’m really proud of some guys stepping up and making some individual great plays.” In a White Out game that drew 29,182 fans to The Rock, Evans rushed for a career-high 234 yards and totaled four touchdowns, including an 87-yard run on the first play from scrimmage and a 68-yard touchdown run after Charlotte had cut its deficit to 42-34 midway through the fourth quarter. The 49ers scored again on a 27-yard touchdown pass with 3:17 remaining, but Evans fielded the onside kick and sprinted 45 yards untouched for his school-record third touchdown via a kickoff return in his career. Shaun Jolly’s first career interception sealed the victory for App State.

GAME 3 FINAL Mountaineers Claim Historic Victory in Chapel Hill APP STATE 13 14 7 0 — 34 North Carolina 7 10 7 7 — 31 CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — What a time for a Black and Gold breakthrough. Sept. 21 - Kenan Stadium - Chapel Hill, N.C. - 50,500 The kick is blocked — again. National defensive player of the week Demetrius Taylor forced two turnovers to help Appalachian State build a first-half lead on the road, and Darrynton Evans rushed for three TDs as the Mountaineers won 34-31 against in-state ACC program North Carolina. The Tar Heels reached App State’s 39-yard line with five seconds left, and Akeem Davis-Gaither pushed through a gap in the line to tip a 56-yard attempt at a field goal as time expired. The second-ever football meeting between the two schools and first since 1940 drew a spirited, sold-out crowd to Kenan Stadium, and the Mountaineers posted their first win against a Power Five conference team since the historic upset of Michigan in 2007. Taylor led App State’s defense by recording 2.5 sacks, forcing two fumbles, turning a post-sack recovery into a 20-yard fumble return for a touchdown and setting up another touchdown with an interception. Jordan Fehr set a career high with 16 tackles, and six reserve defensive backs performed well under pressure throughout the fourth TEAM TOTALS APP UNC quarter on an extremely hot afternoon in Chapel Hill. 2018 REVIEW GAME NOTES FIRST DOWNS Total 16 29 Evans’ three rushing touchdowns contributed to his 78 yards on the App State recorded its eighth victory Rushing 7 10 ground, and Zac Thomas accounted for 281 yards of total offense. against an ACC program and their Passing 8 17 first since beating Wake Forest 20-16 Penalty 1 2 UNC (2-2) scored with one second left in the first half and again in in 2000.

Zac Thomas had two touchdown passes while throwing for 246 yards and App State’s three primary running backs accounted for a combined five rushing touchdowns in a 56-37 home win against Coastal Carolina on Saturday. The sold-out game at Kidd Brewer Stadium featured a two-hour, three-minute weather delay late in the first quarter. “I thought our guys handled the adversity well,” head coach Eliah Drinkwitz said. “We also had the factor of where we spent a lot of energy against UNC, so to be able to come back and sustain that energy for as long as we did today made me real proud of our guys.” Thomas ended up completing 19 of his 23 pass attempts against the league’s top-ranked defense, and walk-on Matthew McQuinn delivered a huge forced fumble on special teams to help the Mountaineers turn a tie game late in the first half into a 42-21 lead in the third quarter.

Zac Thomas scored his second touchdown of the night when he made a leaping high-step into the end zone to end a 7-yard bootleg keeper around left end with 1:55 remaining, and the Mountaineers could begin celebrating when a fourth-down pass from the Ragin’ Cajuns (4-2, 1-1) fell incomplete in the final minute. “That drive said a lot about our offense, and we owe it all to our defense,” Thomas said. “They played lights-out, and we owed it to them TEAM TOTALS APP UL for keeping us in the game.

After warming up in a downpour at Ladd-Peebles Stadium, the Mountaineers shut down South Alabama’s offense in a 30-3 victory that kept them alone atop the Sun Belt Conference standings. Elijah Diarrassouba recovered a fumble, Demetrius Taylor blocked a field goal and the Mountaineers (7-0, 4-0) recorded three sacks as they limited the Jaguars to 139 yards of total offense — the second-smallest total against App State in a Sun Belt game. “I thought our defense played unbelievable today and held them in check all game,” App State coach Eliah Drinkwitz said. “It really allowed us offensively to kind of find ourselves. We struggled converting third downs and really didn’t play solid enough offensively, but we played well enough to win and we’ll be on to the next one.” With 13 straight wins, the Mountaineers have the nation’s third-longest active streak, and it’s the second-longest streak in program history.

GAME 8 FINAL Fourth-Quarter Comeback Falls Short for App State Ga. Southern 7 3 14 0 — 24 #20 APP STATE 0 7 0 14 — 21 BOONE, N.C. — A windy and spooky Halloween night included plenty Oct. 31 - Kidd Brewer Stadium - Boone, N.C. - 18,796 of rain, flurries of snow and a rare home setback for App State. The first-place and 20th-ranked Mountaineers became the last Sun Belt team to suffer a league loss in 2019, as Georgia Southern used two long touchdown runs early in the second half to gain separation before holding on for a 24-21 victory. App State receiver Corey Sutton’s touchdown catches with 8:22 and 4:47 remaining cut the deficit from 17 points to three, and the Mountaineers had possession twice in the final four minutes. A fourth-and-4 pass from midfield fell incomplete to end one series with 2:16 left, and App State got the ball back at its 16 with 1:10 remaining but no timeouts at their disposal. The game ended with a completion and multi-lateral effort near midfield. “We’ll move forward,” App State coach Eliah Drinkwitz said. “It’s all about being 1-0 and all about those things we preach when we win. We have to keep preaching them when things don’t go in our favor, and we have to keep believing in them. That’s what our team will do.” TEAM TOTALS GS APP Thursday’s result ended a 14-game home winning streak for App GAME NOTES FIRST DOWNS Total 15 23 State, which had won its last 16 home games against Sun Belt The loss snaps App State’s 13-game Rushing 13 8 competition since a midweek loss to Arkansas State in 2015. win streak that was the third-longest Passing 1 14 2018 REVIEW active streak in the country behind Penalty 1 1 Akeem Davis-Gaither led App State with 16 tackles, and Zac Clemson (23) and Ohio State (14).

Moments later, true freshman Nicholas Ross returned a second-quarter interception for a tiebreaking touchdown. Make that two dramatic wins against the SEC program.

GAME 10 FINAL App State Overcomes Adversity, Rolls to Road Win #25 APP STATE 14 21 7 14 — 56 Georgia State 21 0 0 6 — 27 ATLANTA, Ga. — Facing a two-score deficit after a momentum-swinging Nov. 16 - Georgia State Stadium - Atlanta, Ga. - 17,908 touchdown on the road, App State swung back and kept landing punches. The first-place Mountaineers, ranked No. 24 in the Coaches Poll and No. 25 by the College Football Playoff committee, responded to the early adversity by scoring seven consecutive touchdowns en route to a 56-27 victory against Georgia State. A defensive touchdown gave the Panthers a 21-7 lead late in the first quarter, but App State (9-1, 5-1) accounted for the next 49 points, with the first 28 producing a 35-21 halftime advantage. “It’s about staying in the fight,” App State head coach Eliah Drinkwitz said. “Every play has a life of its own.” During the 49-0 run, the Mountaineers’ defense forced seven three- and-outs in nine possessions, and one of the other two possessions in that stretch ended with Shaun Jolly’s second interception. Jolly’s second pick followed his tiebreaking interception return for a touchdown late in the first half, and Corey Sutton’s three receiving touchdowns were part of a career-high 173 yards on eight catches. Zac Thomas threw for 256 yards with four touchdowns through the TEAM TOTALS APP GSU air and one with his legs, while Darrynton Evans surpassed 1,000 GAME NOTES FIRST DOWNS Total 25 13 rushing yards for the second straight season thanks to a 131-yard night.

GAME 11 FINAL App State Clinches Division Title On Senior Day Texas State 0 10 3 0 — 13 #24 APP STATE 7 7 14 7 — 35 BOONE, N.C. — App State’s Senior Day streak continued thanks to a Nov. 23 - Kidd Brewer Stadium - Boone, N.C. - 22,215 second-half surge on a rainy, division-clinching afternoon at The Rock. Darrynton Evans’ three touchdown runs after halftime allowed the 24th-ranked Mountaineers to break free from a close game and claim a 35-13 victory against Sun Belt foe Texas State. Senior linebacker Noel Cook made a key interception against the Bobcats for the second straight year, and his third-quarter pick followed a pass deflection from senior defensive tackle E.J. Scott, who recorded two sacks. The win for App State (10-1, 6-1 Sun Belt) and Georgia Southern’s loss at Arkansas State means the Mountaineers clinched the East Division title and a spot in the Sun Belt Championship Game. With a win at Troy in the regular-season finale, they’d host the championship game in Boone against West Division champ Louisiana. Evans rushed for 154 yards and Zac Thomas threw two touchdown passes to lead the offense for App State, which won on Senior Day at Kidd Brewer Stadium for the 22nd straight year. Seventeen players were honored before the game, and the fifth-year quintet of Johnson, Akeem Davis-Gaither, Desmond Franklin, Collin Reed and Josh Thomas TEAM TOTALS TXST APP improved their career records to 51-12 overall, 35-5 against Sun Belt GAME NOTES FIRST DOWNS Total 11 23 programs and 26-4 at home.

Three early touchdowns from belt-winning MVP Darrynton Evans gave the 21st-ranked Mountaineers a 21-0 lead late in the first quarter, and captain Josh Thomas’ first career interception return for a touchdown accounted for one of three turnovers forced by a senior on App State’s defense.

After failing to connect on a 39-yard attempt on the first drive for the Apps, Taylor Lamb’s 21 yard scam- per 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 con- duct penalty that put the ball in the Bobcats’ territo- ry. 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 ad- vantage in total yardage through a quarter-and- a-half but, due mainly to the two errant field-goal SCORING SUMMARY attempts, led just 7-0.
