BOONE, N.C. — The subject at a recent Appalachian State football practice this week turned to weather forecasts and coach Scott Satterfield was quick to remember one of the most challenging of his Mountaineer playing career.
“New Hampshire,” the ex-ASU quarterback exclaimed. “It was 20 degrees and the wind was blowing about 40 miles per hour across the field. I went 4-of-19 (passing). It wasn’t a lot of fun.”
Playing in his first I-AA playoff game on that cold, windy afternoon at ancient Cowell Stadium, Satterfield and his teammates ultimately survived for a 17-10 win in one of the shortest overtime contests in NCAA history without having to throw a pass.
