App State Sidebar: Run Game Enjoys Breakout Performance

BOONE, N.C. — Jalin Moore wasn't the only person seeking more production from Appalachian State's running game.

App State's coaches wanted more. Moore was aware that fans did, too.

The Mountaineers rushed for 350 yards in their 45-31 homecoming victory against New Mexico State on Saturday, with Moore totaling 241 yards and two touchdowns on just 19 carries.

"We've been waiting on this breakout game, not only us, but a lot of people on the outside," Moore said. "It just feels great to give everybody what they've been waiting for."

Coming off a 1,402-yard sophomore season in which he was named the Sun Belt Conference's offensive player of the year, Moore had 47 rushes for 136 yards in App State's first four games of 2017.
