BOONE, N.C. — Quarantined at the team hotel the previous night, Jalin Moore found himself surrounded by Appalachian State teammates at the back of a Malone Stadium end zone.
They had raced downfield to celebrate his long touchdown against ULM. He was hunched over, unable to hold in the fluids he had ingested leading up to the Sun Belt Conference matchup.
Flu-like symptoms put Moore's availability for the ULM game in serious doubt. His sickness wasn't evident on the stat sheet, as Moore came off the bench to score three touchdowns while rushing for 114 yards and posting a career-high 84 receiving yards.
