BOONE, N.C. — The answer for some Appalachian State football friends was blowing in the wind as the Mountaineers treated a homecoming crowd of 26,931 to a 37-19 victory over Idaho Saturday afternoon at Kidd Brewer Stadium.
Struggling to finish drives in a contest peppered with exchanged field goals, a wind-blown pass from Idaho quarterback Matt Linehan sailed into the hands of ASU cornerback Clifton Duck, who intercepted the ball and scampered 44 yards for the game-breaking touchdown as the Mountaineers (5-2 overall, 3-0 in Sun Belt Conference play) turned their tight, 13-6 advantage into a 20-6 lead with 10 minutes left in the third quarter.
