Coming off a heartbreaking home loss against James Madison, App State football welcomed The Citadel to Boone for family weekend with a shutout 49-0.

“We needed it as a program, it was four tough weeks, four emotional weeks and our program and players needed that,” head coach Shawn Clark said.

The Mountaineers came out firing on the opening possession. A couple of run plays set up a play-action pass from redshirt senior quarterback Chase Brice to sophomore wide receiver Dashaun Davis 44 yards for a touchdown.
