Junior linebackers lead the defense
Oct. 9 at Arkansas State, the App State football team won 35-9 behind a commanding defensive performance. As a team, they limited Arkansas State to only 317 total yards while forcing three turnovers. The defense was anchored, as it has been all season, by the linebacking core, led by junior linebackers Akeem Davis-Gaither and Jordan Fehr.
Both Davis-Gaither and Fehr recorded 14 tackles against the Red Wolves, and Fehr also had a sack. Their 14 tackles is the highest of any Sun Belt player in a single game this season.
