NEW ORLEANS — A quarterback in a black No. 24 jersey throwing passes. The player in a red No. 12 jersey lining up at outside linebacker.
Day 4 in New Orleans included App State's final team practice of the 2019 season, as the 20th-ranked Mountaineers (12-1) face UAB (9-4) on Saturday in the R+L Carrier New Orleans Bowl.
Players ditched their normal workout jerseys for new numbers and colors Friday during their workout at the New Orleans Saints' practice facility in Metairie. Senior linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither swapped with quarterback Zac Thomas, for instance, and the most thoughtful change involved senior safety Josh Thomas.
