The Appalachian State Series
Wofford and Appalachian State have played 27 times, with the Mountaineers holding a 17-10 lead
in the series. Wofford won the first game in 1960. As conference members, the Mountaineers hold
a 14-3 lead in the series that began in 1997. Last season Appalachian State won 43-13 in Boone.
In Gibbs Stadium, Appalachian State leads 5-2, however in all games in Spartanburg the Terriers
lead 8-5. The Mountaineers have won six of the last seven meetings and have scored 40 or more
points in four of their last six wins.
Last time against the Mountaineers
The Terriers were defeated 43-13 on November 13 by Appalachian State at Kidd Brewer Stadium.
Four lost fumbles put a damper on the hopes of the Terriers and the Mountaineers won their
sixth-straight Southern Conference title.The Terriers were led by Brian Kass with 42 rushing yards
and 4-of-11 passing with one touchdown. Appalachian State was led by Devon Moore with 115
rushing yards and three touchdowns. The Terriers running game was shut down as Wofford had
only 189 on the ground and 275 total yards, most of which were in the second half. Appalachian
State had 360 yards, 168 of which were rushing. Wofford had the time of possession advantage.
Wofford was 7-of-16 on third downs. Appalachian State was 7-of-13 on third down.
Appalachian State’s LAST GAME
Appalachian State University’s defense not only limited Chattanooga’s high-powered offense to
just 12 points but also provided all of Appalachian’s scoring in a heart-stopping 14-12 win over
the 13th-ranked Mocs on Saturday afternoon at jam-packed Kidd Brewer Stadium. With Chattanooga threatening to stretch a 6-0 lead to a two-score advantage on the final play of the third
quarter, Appalachian’s Rodger Walker scooped up an errant snap on a UTC field-goal attempt and
returned the fumble 73 yards for a touchdown that gave ASU an improbable 7-6 lead going into
the final period. Just 1:22 later, linebacker Jeremy Kimbrough intercepted a pass by Chattanooga’s
B.J. Coleman and rumbled 46 yards for what proved to be the winning points. Offensively, the
Mountaineers squandered a number of opportunities to put points on the board throughout the
afternoon. However, three turnovers and a missed field goal stymied ASU, which did not score
an offensive touchdown for the first time since a 24-0 loss at LSU in 2005. Despite throwing two
interceptions, DeAndre Presley totaled 195 yards of offense (143 passing, 52 rushing) to lead
Appalachian offensively. Travaris Cadet led all rushers with 63 yards and Brian Quick caught five
passes for 65 yards.

the stadium’s construction in 1996.
Overall, the LED board is 57 feet wide and 22 feet tall. The overall size of the entire unit, including
sound system and advertising panels, is 57 feet by 30 feet tall. The football display system uses
Capturion’s newest P22 Discrete LED technology using 22mm full color LED with a 784x308 pixel
