Special Teams Earn Deserved Praise For Role in Win

BOONE, N.C. — Another season, another strong start for Appalachian State's special teams.

For the second straight year, thanks to D'Marco Jackson's 16-yard return of Shaun Jolly's blocked punt and Darrynton Evans' 45-yard return of an onside kick against Charlotte, App State has recorded multiple special teams touchdowns in an early season home victory.

The Mountaineers finished 2018 with four special teams touchdowns. With special teams coordinator Erik Link overseeing Saturday's output, Appalachian leads the nation with six special teams touchdowns since the start of last season.
