A Look At Appalachian State's Historic 2006 FCS National Championship Season

The second of App State's three FCS National Championships is often overshadowed by the Michigan upset the following season. But man was that team great.

In the three years of Appalachian State's FCS National Championships, the 2006 title team suffers from middle child syndrome. The first, 2005, will always be the favorite because it's the first. The third, 2007, will be special because that was the Michigan year.

2006 doesn't get the love the other two receive, which is a pity because it was the best team of the three. 2005 had the best defense and 2007 the best offense, but 2006 had the best balance.
