BOONE, N.C. - As Appalachian State found out in 2015, special teams can change the whole complexion of a season.
Whether it was a big play from punter Bentlee Critcher, or a clutch field goal from the graduated kicker Zach Matics, the unit played a big part in helping the Mountaineers set the Sun Belt record for wins in a single season. App State also set a new record for victories by a team in its first season as a full-fledged member of NCAA Division I FBS.
