POSTGAME NOTES

Team

• Appalachian moved to 1-1 on the season; North Carolina A&T officially fell to 0-1 (A&T's win last Saturday over Virginia University-Lynchburg was not recognized by the NCAA because VUL is not an NCAA institution).
• ASU moved to 60-19-2 (.747) all-time in home openers. It has won 25 of its last 28 and 10 of its last 11 home openers.
• ASU moved to 19-1 in its last 20 games that immediately followed a same-season loss.
• ASU won its 30^th-straight home game versus an in-state opponent. ASU has not lost to an in-state opponent at home since a 34-7 loss to Western Carolina on Oct. 6, 1984 at then-Conrad Stadium.

Individual

• Head coach Jerry Moore won his 200^th game at ASU. He is 200-80 (.714) in 23 seasons at ASU. He became only the 16^th coach ever with 200 victories at one NCAA Division I institution (should Virginia Tech defeat East Carolina this afternoon, Beamer would become the 17^th).
• Senior wide receiver Brian Quick had a career-high 11 receptions, the most by a Mountaineer since DaVon Fowlkes caught a school-record 17 passes versus Elon on Nov. 6, 2004.
• Quick's two touchdown receptions give him 23 for his career, moving him past Fowlkes (22 - 2001-04) and into a tie with current ASU senior associate athletics director Rick Beasley for second in ASU history (record: 25 - Bob Agle, 1965-68).
• Senior running back Cedric Baker Boney rushed for a career-high 111 yards (prev.: 107 at Chattanooga, Nov. 8, 2008).
• Senior Phillip Strickland tied a school record with two punt blocks. It is only the fourth time in ASU history that one player has blocked two punts in a game - Chuck Hill accomplished the feat twice in 1987 (Oct. 10 vs. Liberty, Nov. 21 at Western Carolina) and Dino Hackett did it at East Tennessee State on Nov. 23, 1985.
• Junior Sam Martin kicked a career-long 51-yard field goal. The 51-yarder is tied for the seventh-longest in ASU history and the longest by a Mountaineer since Mark Wright kicked a school-record 57-yarder vs. Troy State on Sept. 9, 2000.
• True freshman Doug Middleton returned his first career interception 97 yards for a touchdown, good for the fourth-longest INT return in ASU history and the longest since Rico Mack returned an interception 100 yards at James Madison on Nov. 17, 1990.
