App State Stays Unbeaten in Sun Belt Play

BOONE, N.C. — Another second-half shutdown from Appalachian State's defense. Another strong rushing performance from Darrynton Evans.

It added up to another Sun Belt Conference victory for the Mountaineers.

Evans rushed for a career-high 183 yards on 26 carries and scored two touchdowns, including a tiebreaking one on a 20-yard reception late in the first half, as App State remained unbeaten in league play with a 27-17 home win against Louisiana on Saturday at Kidd Brewer Stadium.

The Mountaineers (5-1, 3-0) were close to pitching a second-half shutout for the fifth straight game, but the Ragin' Cajuns (3-4, 1-2) cut into a 27-10 deficit by scoring with 1:03 remaining.
