BOONE, N.C. — Appalachian State University Football once again received recognition from Athlon Sports college football columnist Steve Lassan, as he ranked the Mountaineers’ running backs unit the 23rd-best group out of 50 units on Tuesday.
App State is one of three schools from the Sun Belt to make the list with archrival Georgia Southern coming in at 21st and New Mexico State landing the 50th spot.
Appalachian boasted one of the most consistent and lethal ground attacks in the nation, where it ran for at least 200 yards in 11 of 13 contests, six 300 yard outputs and a 401-yard performance on the ground at Idaho.
