• Appalachian won its 28th-consecutive home game over an in-state opponent. ASU has not lost to an in-state opponent at home since it dropped a 34-7 decision to Western Carolina on Oct. 6, 1984 at what was then called Conrad Stadium.

Individual
• ASU junior running back Travaris Cadet rushed for a career-high 149 yards on just eight carries, good for an 18.6-yard average. His 52-yard touchdown run was a career long.

• ASU junior starting quarterback DeAndre Presley, who was removed from the game after the first series of the second half, completed 7-of-12 passes for 95 yards and rushed six times for 57 yards (9.5 avg.).
