BOONE, N.C. — Twenty years removed from winning App State Football's first national title, the Mountaineers' 2005 championship team will be recognized and celebrated this fall during the Nov. 22 home game against Marshall.
App State's streak of three consecutive FCS national championships from 2005-07 began with a breakthrough triumph from a 12-3 team that claimed an outright SoCon title before completing a 4-0 postseason run with a 21-16 victory against Northern Iowa on Dec. 16, 2005 in Chattanooga, Tenn. Head coach Jerry Moore, now a member of the College Football Hall of Fame, led the Mountaineers to their first title during his 17th season in Boone.
