The Appalachian defense has finally arrived!

Two straight 3 and outs forced, plus an App punt that was downed at the 1-yard-line.

7-0 App, 5 min left in the first.

App went for it on 4th and 1 on the Samford 35 and didn't get it.

Samford got their first 1st down, but then punted it for the 4th time already.

3rd and 3 for App on their own 47, 1st quarter just ended.

Armanti escaped a blitz, broke 2 tackles, fumbled the ball and picked it up and threw an 8-yard completion on the same play.

Drive stalled in the red zone. Vitaris 21 yd FG good. 10-0 App, 9:50 left in the 2nd.

Taliaferro is 0-5 passing so far. Total yards is 192-33 in favor of App.

3rd down blitz forces Taliaferro to go to 0-6 passing.

Fourth 3 and out forced by App......NOT

Roughing the kicker gives Samford their second 1st down. Damn.

INT on the 3 returned to midfield! Yay!

Samford has 38 total yards and App has 57 penalty yards.

Taliaferro is no 0-7 with a pick.

App now on the Samford 30 after a 20-yard completion to Cline.

Taliaferro just got his first completion. He's now 1 of 9 for 4 yards plus a pick.

EDIT: And the completion was to Evans, the RB. He's got 52 of Samford's 71 yards.

6th punt by Samford.

Taliaferro's pasing stats would be okay in the terrible weather.....if Armanti wasn't 10 of 12 passing for 120 yards and a TD.

App drive halted by a big sack. However, Sam Martin comes up big with a punt to the 2 yard line. His other punt was downed at the one,

Samford's all sorts of messed up. They've used 2 timeouts, had one false start and given up one sack on their opening drive in the 2nd half.

App drive stalled again. Punt to the Samford 13.

However, 3 and out go Samford again.

App ball again after the punt to midfield. 20-0 App, 4:30 left in the 3rd.

Another App punt. Offense is sputtering but the defense and special teams are still coming up huge.

Still 20-0 starting the 4th quarter.

4th and 1 Samford deep in their own zone. They call their final TO.

#57 from App St should be ejected. He leveled the Samford QB with his shoulder....PS....he was on the SIDELINE...not playing.

To be fair to the defense, that penalty mentioned above was after stopping Samford on a 3rd and long at midfield.

Another drive halted. Punt to the Samford 12.

App runs out the clock and that's the ballgame.

Appalachian State 20

Impressive performance by the App defense today.

Good to see and that's what I figured would happen. I knew they were gonna be a real sour group to deal with after letting that McNeese rest on the table for two weeks. Good job to the App's. :thumb:
