Day After: Blocking Effort Sets Tone For Explosive Day

BOONE, N.C. — Appalachian State offensive linemen pride themselves on appearing in the picture.

Sometimes they do their jobs so well that Darrynton Evans makes it impossible.

Winning as a ranked FBS team for the first time, No. 24 App State rushed for a season-high 302 yards in a 52-7 victory against ULM on Saturday. Evans' 59-yard touchdown run started a 136-yard day that required just 17 carries, Marcus Williams Jr. added 79 yards and quarterback Zac Thomas rushed for 58 more.

When App State's linemen are performing like they've been instructed to by coach Shawn Clark, ESPN cameras will catch them hustling downfield to provide a late block or push a pile forward.
