But in the end, the one that stood by their word was Appalachian State. I think he's going to make an awesome student-athlete for them.

We lost our top runner and had to move Travis Thompson from wingback to tailback. And we were going against a lot of beef up front there. They really packed it in there, and we couldn't get anything going.

That was probably the best match of his career. He was working that ring to perfection. It's a perfect example of a guy peaking at the right time.

Only one of them is a junior. It doesn't matter who you put in the backfield. You've got to have someone hammering away at those defensive linemen. They also give us time to throw the ball.

Holding them to a 7-0 halftime lead was huge. But we just couldn't get anything going offensively.

He was unbelievable. He can check off. He checked off running that quarterback sneak. That was all him.
