BOONE, N.C. — Despite tight coverage in the end zone, senior receiver and new scholarship recipient Brad Absher came down with a contested catch to score a touchdown.
"He earned that scholarship," an Appalachian State teammate shouted from the sideline.
Moments later, safety Josh Thomas picked off a pass at the goal line and sprinted toward the opposite end zone.
The red zone session, much like every segment of App State's 120-play scrimmage Saturday, featured highlights for both the Mountaineers' offense and defense. Possessions in the red zone and close to the goal line capped team workout No.
