On Sept. 22 redshirt freshman D’Andre Hicks rushed for 150 yards on just 11 carries, averaging 13.6 yards per carry. He added a 73-yard run for a touchdown as well during the game. That run was the first touchdown of what should be many for the running back. What makes this performance even more impressive was that it was just the second game Hicks appeared in at running back in his football career.
This was also the second time in a row that App State had two players rush for over 200 yards at home. Only three other times in App State history has a player rushed for at least 150 yards on less carries than Hicks.
