BOONE, N.C. — App State's Senior Day streak continued thanks to a second-half surge on a rainy afternoon at The Rock.
Darrynton Evans' three touchdown runs after halftime allowed the 24th-ranked Mountaineers to break free from a close game and claim a 35-13 victory against Sun Belt foe Texas State on Saturday. Senior linebacker Noel Cook made a key interception against the Bobcats for the second straight year, and his third-quarter pick followed a pass deflection from senior defensive tackle E.J. Scott, who recorded two sacks.
Evans rushed for 154 yards and Zac Thomas threw two touchdown passes to lead the offense for App State, which won on Senior Day at Kidd Brewer Stadium for the 22nd straight year.
