For two solid years many App fans have heard that Charlotte was gunning for our in-state G5 power spot and on Saturday Charlotte was reminded that their time is not now. In front of a record setting crowd at Jerry Richardson Stadium (thanks to App’s presence), the storm trooper clad Mountaineers took a 10-0 1st quarter lead and turned it into a 45-9 route of the 49ers.
Zac Thomas had a career day in the Queen City, going 14 of 14 for 295 yards and three touchdowns through the air. Thomas’ perfect completion percentage marks the first time a Appalachian State or Sun Belt quarterback finished a game with at least 10 completions and no incompletions.
