BOONE, N.C. — Appalachian State showed no signs of rust in its 2018 debut at The Rock.
The Mountaineers rolled to a 72-7 home victory against Gardner-Webb on Saturday at Kidd Brewer Stadium. Playing a week after the scheduled home opener against Southern Miss was canceled because of Hurricane Florence, App State (2-1) scored twice on special teams during a 52-point first half and posted the third-highest point total in program history.
App State put up 692 total yards during a performance that, in terms of scoring, ranks behind only a 115-0 win against Piedmont in 1936 and a 79-35 win against Western Carolina in 2007.
