SAN MARCOS, Texas — Zac Thomas wasted little time announcing his return, even though Appalachian State chewed up plenty of clock with its scoring drives.
Thomas' 43-yard pass to Collin Reed on App State's first play triggered a productive day for the sophomore quarterback, and Chris Willis' backfield pressure set up Noel Cook's goalline interception that served as the biggest momentum swing in a 38-7 victory at Texas State on Saturday.
Thomas, who sat out last weekend's win after playing only one series in the previous game, completed 25 of 36 passes for 247 yards and two touchdowns.
