Daetrich Harrington had reason to be happy. The whole Appalachian State running backs group did. A combination of Harrington, Marcus Williams Jr. and Cam Peoples ran for 278 total rushing yards and four touchdowns on Saturday in a 35-20 victory against Charlotte. Harrington accounted for two of those scores, both in the fourth quarter to put the game away. And he grinned when talking about what that trio could accomplish together this season, running behind an offensive line featuring four returning starters. "We all got a chip on our shoulder," Harrington said. "They think since Darrynton (Evans)'s gone, we have nobody. We feel disrespected. So we're going to come out and show, prove to the whole Sun Belt and the whole world that we're a three-headed monster."

Since Evans departed for the NFL, App State coach Shawn Clark described a platoon-style system in the offensive backfield. The thinking was simple: the Mountaineers have three quality running backs, use them. And that's exactly what the team did against the 49ers. Williams played the first offensive series, followed by Harrington and Peoples on the following drives, respectively. Clark said it was an order pecked by seniority - Williams is a senior, Harrington a junior and Peoples is a sophomore. Harrington had 15 carries, Williams 14 and Peoples 13. - Winston-Salem Journal

09/14/20 - Chase Brice, rSr/2023, Appalachian State, 6-2, 236 (DS#19 QB) + More +

Notre Dame, ranked 10th nationally in preseason, is a deep football team with few holes in the lineup. The Irish are physical and that rough-and-tumble element of their game took its toll on Duke as the game wore on, with an experienced offensive line pounding at Duke's defensive front. Brice was fine and said it was a fun experience "playing the Golden Domes" in Notre Dame Stadium. Could the Clemson transfer have been better? Yes, as he was the first to say after the game. And especially so inside the Note Dame 10 in the first half when the Blue Devils came away with two field goals and trailed 10-6 at halftime. "We took advantage of some good field position our defense gave us," Brice said.

"But inside the 5 we shot ourselves in the foot both of those times. We put points on the board and that's our goal, but in those situations we wish we could have come out with 7 instead of 3. "We didn't make enough plays. We left some out there, I left some out there. In critical situations and downs we didn't make those plays." With Cutcliffe calling the plays, Brice tried to bootleg to his right on the second red-zone possession. He found himself staring at onrushing defensive end Isaiah Foskey and dumped the ball - initially called intentional grounding, the call was reviewed and made a 10-yard sack. "You just can't make those mistakes in a game like this," Brice said, blaming himself. - Herald Sun

09/13/20 - Shemar Jean-Charles, rSr/2021, Appalachian State, 5-10, 184 (DS#39 CB) + More +

No one represented the defensive surge more than Shemar Jean-Charles, who had four pass breakups and helped blanket Charlotte all-conference wide receiver Victor Tucker. Tucker had one reception and nine yards. Jean-Charles was part of a unit that forced two interceptions, by Brendan Harrington and Kaiden Smith, respectively, and held Charlotte to 89 total yards in the second half. App State outgained Charlotte in yardage, 512 to 286. 49ers quarterback Chris Reynolds went 11 for 30. It's also worth noting that of Charlotte's two chunk passing plays of the second half (plays of 15 yards or more), both came in the 49ers' first drive of the third quarter. The offensive unit didn't score in the second half, with Charlotte's 10 second-half points coming from a field goal and a kickoff return. Jean-Charles said a lot of time was spent reviewing the 56-41 victory last season, where Reynolds threw four touchdowns in the second half. Much like they did in Saturday's game, Jean-Charles said the defense, and the team, didn't let something in the past linger. "We tried to attack their scheme a little different than how we tried to approach it last year...For the most part we were able to bend but not break in the secondary and limit those explosive plays. "Just made those right adjustments." - Winston-Salem Journal

09/12/20 - Daetrich Harrington, rSr/2023, Appalachian State, 6-0, 198 (DS#75 RB) + More +

Thomas Hennigan caught a 51-yard touchdown pass, Daetrich Harrington added two fourth-quarter scoring runs and Appalachian State beat Charlotte 35-20 in both teams' season opener on a rainy Saturday. The teams exchanged big plays in the final two minutes of the third quarter. Hennigan scored down the right side after a defender slipped on the wet field. Aaron McAllister returned the ensuing kickoff a school-record 97 yards, breaking a tackle on the left sideline to get Charlotte within a point, 21-20. Harrington went up the middle for a 4-yard score to extend the Mountaineers' lead to 28-20 early in the fourth quarter.

After a Charlotte fumble recovery, the Mountaineers held the 49ers to no yards at the Appalachian State 20 and Harrington added a 15-yard score with 1:15 remaining. Herrington had 120 yards receiving. Marcus Williams Jr. ran for 117 yards and a score and Camerun Peoples added 102 yards and another touchdown. The Mountaineers rushed for 308 yards. Zac Thomas aded 204 yards passing with a TD and an interception. Appalachian State has won four straight Sun Belt Conference titles and finished 19th in last season's Associated Press Top 25 poll after a 13-1 season. Due to state COVID-19 restrictions, the school allowed only 50 fans to attend the game, all parents of Mountaineers seniors, and tailgating was not permitted. - Appalachian State/AP College Football

09/08/20 - Chase Brice, rSr/2023, Appalachian State, 6-2, 236 (DS#19 QB) + More +

Duke coach David Cutcliffe, who also has taken over the offensive coordinator duties this year, decided on Brice, a transfer from Clemson, as the No. 1 quarterback after watching him compete in fall camp with Chris Katrenick and Gunnar Holmberg. "I could not be more proud of the three young men who competed for the privilege to be this team's starting quarterback at Notre Dame in the season-opener," Cutcliffe said in a statement. "Chase, Chris (Katrenick) and Gunnar (Holmberg) all have played really well during camp. We have a healthy quarterback room and the competition has made everyone better. Ultimately, Chase has made plays at the highest rate."

Brice was a part of Clemson's 2018 national championship run, serving as the backup to quarterback Trevor Lawrence. The junior is an accurate passer and has the size at 6-3 and 235 pounds to factor into Duke's running game. Brice passed for 581 yards and four touchdowns for the Tigers last season while rushing 14 times for 94 yards and a TD. In 2018, when Lawrence was injured against Syracuse, he came in to lead a 94-yard scoring drive in Clemson's 27-23 comeback win. - The State

Kaiden Smith has played in at least 10 games during the last three seasons. Now he finally gets a chance to lead. Smith popped up in big spots during the last few years: a forced fumble in the 2017 Dollar General Bowl, playing in the fourth quarter against UNC last season. Now he's got his moment. Coach Shawn Clark and defensive coordinator Dale Jones have lauded Smith for his vocal presence this fall. - Winston-Salem Journal

Here's a borderline fact worth remembering: App State defensive backs get NFL chances. The defensive back and safeties coaches have changed the last few seasons, but the results remain consistent. It's why Doug Middleton keeps getting picked up by NFL teams, why A.J. Howard always had a spot on a practice squad before starting his coaching career and why Tae Hayes went from undrafted to a roster spot. Shemar Jean-Charles could get that chance, too. He had a quiet but solid season in a first-year starter combo with Shaun Jolly. And if he can add another, Jean-Charles has smarts to warrant at least a chance. - Winston-Salem Journal

Jalen Virgil is an off-the-bus specimen. He's 6-foot-1, 210 pounds, stacked up and has blazing speed. And if there's one guy who benefits most from the vacated snaps of Sutton's opt out, it's him. Virgil has always shown flashes, and he's worked hard during his App State career to become more comfortable as a pass catcher. He has 61 total receptions, 24 last season, and seven receiving touchdowns. His speed is NFL quality: 10.29 seconds in the 100-meter dash for the track team. If he puts together a quality season for what should be a high-scoring offense, he'll get attention. - Winston-Salem Journal

09/03/20 - Corey Sutton, rSr/2022, Appalachian State, 6-2, 208 (DS#54 WR) + More +

Clark said he and Sutton talked over the past couple of weeks. Clark said that even if Sutton were to play, he wouldn't have been ready for the season opener against Charlotte. Sutton tore an ACL against Texas State last season. Now, Clark said, Sutton has more time to rehab and get healthy. Sutton spent his first college football season at Kansas State in 2016, then opted to transfer to App State before the 2017 season, which he sat out due to NCAA transfer rules. But when he was eligible to play with App State, he immediately made an impact. Sutton had 10 touchdown receptions in 2018, becoming the first App State wide receiver with double-digit TD catches since Brian Quick in the 2011 season. Last year, playing only nine games, he nearly matched his 2018 reception total (41 receptions to 44 previously) under then-head coach Eli Drinkwitz. He had eight catches and 173 yards and three touchdowns at Georgia State the week before the knee injury. Sutton's father, Clarence, was a safety at App State from 1993 to 1995. His younger brother, Coen, will join the program next season as a 2021 wide receiver recruit. - Winston-Salem Journal

Wide receiver Corey Sutton of Appalachian State is opting out of the 2020 college football season. Sutton, who caught seven touchdown passes last season, announced the decision Tuesday on Twitter.
