WEEK 2 SUN BELT OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Darrynton Evans, Appalachian State (Jr., RB, Oak Hill, Fla.),...Appalachian State junior running back Darrynton Evans' career-high 234 rushing yards (on 19 carries), 298 all-purpose yards and four touchdowns (three rushing, one kick return) propelled the Mountaineers to a 56-41 win over Charlotte. Evans' 234 rushing yards and 298 all-purpose yards were the most by an NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision player so far this year, while his rushing total was the fifth-highest in school history for a game with less than 20 carries.

His 87-yard touchdown on the first play from scrimmage was a career-long run, the fourth-longest in the nation this year and the fifth-longest in school history. Evans' other three scores each came immediately after second-half Charlotte touchdowns to keep Appalachian State at least a touchdown ahead each time. After two games, Evans tops the nation with 166.5 rushing yards per game. - Sun Belt Football

Darrynton Evans broke for an 87-yard touchdown run on the first play of the game and closed out the scoring when he returned an on-side kick 46 yards and the Mountaineers held on to get by Charlotte 56-41 on Saturday. Evans, who finished with 298 all-purpose yards, charged through a huge hole in the line and ran untouched to put Appalachian State up 7-0. Evans, who had a 68-yard scoring romp in the fourth quarter, finished with a career-high 234 yards rushing on 19 carries with four touchdowns. Evans plucked the onside kick out of the air and raced untouched for the final score. Zac Thomas finished with 182 yards and three TDs passing.

Shaun Jolly broke through to block a punt that D'Marco Jackson scooped up and returned 16 yards to give the Mountaineers a 28-13 lead late in the first half. Appalachian State took a 42-20 lead late in the third when Thomas hit Jalen Virgil in stride on a 73-yard scoring toss. Charlotte's Chris Reynolds, who threw for 296 yards and four touchdowns, found Victor Tucker on a 23-yard scoring play to close to 42-34 before Evans sprinted 68 yards for the score and a 49-34 advantage. The Mountaineers (2-0) will take a week off before traveling to Chapel Hill, N.C. to face North Carolina. Charlotte (1-1) will face UMass next Saturday. - AP College Football
