• Appalachian moved to 59-19-2 all-time in home openers.
• ASU has won 10 of its last 11 home openers.
• The Mountaineers avoided dropping consecutive home openers for the first time in 27 years.
• Appalachian moved to 2-0 for only the second time in the last 12 years. ASU was 2-0 with wins at Michigan and vs. Lenoir-Rhyne in 2007.
• Saturday's attendance of 28,708 is the sixth-largest in school history and the third-largest for a home opener.
• ASU has played in front of over-capacity crowds for 29-straight regular-season home games.
Individual• Junior wide receiver
Brian Quick (6 receptions, 132 yards) recorded the fifth 100-yard receiving game of his career. It also marks the first time in his career that he has put together back-to-back 100-yard games (he had 121 receiving yards last week at Chattanooga).
• Quick matched a career high with three receiving touchdowns. He is the first Mountaineer with three receiving touchdowns in a game since he did it against Wofford on Oct. 31, 2008.
• Senior
Mark LeGree's fourth-quarter interception was his first of the season and 18th of his career, moving him into a tie for fourth in ASU history with former all-American Matt Stevens (1992-95).
• Junior quarterback
DeAndre Presley totaled 386 yards of offense (285 passing, 101 rushing), the 20th-highest total in ASU history.
• Presley's four touchdown passes are a career high and tied for fifth in school history.
• Presley became the first player in ASU history with 300 yards of total offense three times in his first four career starts.
• Senior running back
Devon Moore's third-quarter rushing touchdown was his first of the season after sitting out of last week's opener at UTC with a quad injury and the 31st of his career.
• True freshman walk-on
Patrick Blalock recorded ASU's first punt block since Corey Lynch (now a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers) blocked a punt at Elon on Sept. 29, 2007.
• He almost became only the third player in ASU history to block two punts in a game when he blocked another in the third quarter but the play was negated by an offside penalty.
