DEC 14 SUN BELT SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Jalen Virgil, App State, (#11, Sr, WR - Lawrenceville, Ga.),...Jalen Virgil's 100-yard kickoff return gave App State its first lead of the game at 24-20 in the fourth quarter and helped lift the Mountaineers to a 34-26 road win at Georgia Southern. Virgil's first career touchdown return was the third 100-yard return in school history (Darrynton Evans in 2018 and Keith Nash in 1968). After fielding the kickoff over his head, Virgil sprinted left and weaved his way through a couple of defenders, untouched, before using his sprinter's speed to streak down the left sideline to the end zone. Virgil finished the game with 171 all-purpose yards and two total touchdowns (one receiving). - Sun Belt Football

Nebraska had to deal with an apparent injury before the game even started. Redshirt freshman Myles Farmer went down with what looked like a lower right leg injury. He was carted off to a waiting ambulance. Trainers put an air cast around Farmer's leg below his knee and a staffer was putting pressure on the area around his right ankle as he was transported toward the ambulance. Defensive coordinator Erik Chinander was down with Farmer, holding his hand while the trainers put the cast on and prepared to load him into the cart. - Lincoln Journal Star

Zac Thomas passed for 279 yards and matched his career high with four touchdown passes as Appalachian State defeated Troy 47-10 on Saturday, rebounding from a loss at No. 16 Coastal Carolina.

App State's Camerun Peoples broke loose for a 63-yard TD run less than three minutes into the game and the Mountaineers added two more scores 49 seconds apart to take a 21-0 lead after a quarter. Thomas fired a 15-yard scoring pass to Malik Williams, and Steven Jones picked off a Gunnar Watson pass on the next play from scrimmage, returning it 34 yards for a pick-six. Thomas was 22-for-29 passing and threw four touchdowns for the fourth time, Peoples gained 95 yards on 10 carries and Williams had seven receptions for a career-high 113 yards.

11/14/20 - Camerun Peoples, rSr/2023, Appalachian State, 6-1, 217 (DS#21 RB) + More +

Camerun Peoples scored on a 10-yard touchdown run with just under five minutes remaining as Appalachian State came from behind for a 17-13 win, foiling an upset bid by Georgia State in a bruising game on Saturday. Peoples dragged safety Chris Moore with him over the goal line. The Mountaineers (6-1, 4-0 Sun Belt Conference) lost quarterback Zac Thomas to injury when he was tackled while scrambling out of bounds during the game-winning drive. Jacob Huesman came off the sidelines, promptly hit Peoples with a screen pass for 12 yards and finished an 11-play, 77-yard drive for App State's first lead of the game. Georgia State (3-4, 2-4) took the opening kick 75 yards in 13 plays and grabbed a 7-0 lead when Cornelious Brown IV tossed a 19-yard pass to Sam Pinckney.

Zac Thomas threw for three touchdowns, Daetrich Harrington ran for 113 yards and Appalachian State pulled away from Texas State for a 38-17 win on Saturday. It's the seventh straight season in which Appalachian State has put together a four-game win streak. Tyler Vitt put the Bobcats on the scoreboard first when he threw a 75-yard touchdown catch-and-run to Javen Banks just 44 seconds into the game. The Mountaineers (5-1, 3-0 Sun Belt Conference) responded with a seven-play, 72-yard scoring drive that ended with Thomas throwing a 32-yard touchdown pass to Miller Gibbs. With 64 seconds left before the end of the first quarter, Brendan Harrington picked off Vitt, returned it 49 yards for the score and App State never trailed again. Vitt threw for a pair of touchdowns but was intercepted twice. Jahmyl Jeter had 135 yards rushing on 11 carries for Texas State (1-8, 1-4). - AP College Football

OCT 26 SUN BELT CO-OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK Zac Thomas, App State,...Zac Thomas accounted for a career high-tying five touchdowns in leading the Mountaineers to a 45-17 Sun Belt-opening win against Arkansas State. He completed 16 of 23 passes for 216 yards and a career high-tying four touchdowns, while rushing for a career-high 82 yards and another score on the ground. With top receiver Thomas Hennigan limited and another starter, Jalen Virgil, out due to injury, Thomas spread the ball around to seven different receivers.

Up 31-17 late in the third quarter and facing a third-and-14 scenario that would put the Red Wolves in position to get the ball back, Thomas sprinted up the middle for a big gain, made a hard right cut and stayed in bounds along the sideline before making a Superman-style dive into the front-right pylon for a 60-yard score to put App State ahead by 21 again. Thomas won his 26th game in 30 tries as App State's starting QB. His 26 wins rank No. 2 among active FBS quarterbacks. - Sun Belt Football

Junior running back Jahmir Smith has left the team, Kelly said. "He's decided that he's not going to play football," Kelly said. "We'll have some further conversations about what his plans are moving forward. But he's decided at this time that he is not going to be playing football." The 5-foot-11, 205-pound Smith hadn't played in a game since the season opener against Duke in which he recorded five carries for 15 yards. Smith came to the Irish as a three-star running back out of Sanford (N.C.) Lee County in the 2018 class. He played in 10 games last season and rushed 42 times for 180 yards and two touchdowns. - South Bend Tribune

Zac Thomas tied a career high with four passing touchdowns and he added a 60-yard rushing score to lead Appalachian State past Arkansas State 45-17 on Thursday night. Appalachian State scored 24 unanswered points in the first half to take a 31-7 lead at halftime.

Thomas' TD run was two yards short of tying the longest run of his career, set in 2018 against Arkansas State.

Harrington carried it 18 times for 137 yards and a touchdown for Appalachian State (3-1, 1-0 Sun Belt Conference). Malik Williams made six catches for 78 yards and a TD, and Wells scored on both of his receptions. Appalachian State's defense had two interceptions and six sacks.

10/20/20 - Chase Brice, rSr/2023, Appalachian State, 6-2, 236 (DS#19 QB) + More +

Duke coach David Cutcliffe said after the game that he liked the "fight" of his team and at every position Saturday at Carter-Finley Stadium. Quarterback Chase Brice was "fierce" in the way he played, Cutcliffe said, shouldering the blame for a couple of Brice's three interceptions. Turnovers have been a season-long malady for Duke. The Blue Devils had 19 before the game, more than any other FBS team, and added to that troubling total. The Pack's second TD came on a blocked punt late in the first half. Third downs were a problem - Duke was 4 of 16 on conversions while the Pack was 7 of 15. - Herald Sun
