App State Caps Record-Setting Year By Extending Bowl Winning Streak

NEW ORLEANS — Make it a perfect five for five by App State's quintet of fifth-year seniors.

Whether the 20th-ranked Mountaineers were putting the ball in the air or scooping it off the turf, they extended their record-setting bowl streak and capped a record-setting season with a 31-17 win against UAB in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl on Saturday night.

Despite facing a two-touchdown deficit in the first five minutes, App State (13-1) scored 31 of the final 34 points with help from Zac Thomas' two touchdown passes to Thomas Hennigan and Tommy Dawkins' 2.
