BOONE, N.C. – Senior quarterback Taylor Lamb tied Appalachian State's single-game record by throwing five touchdown passes in a 54-7 victory against Savannah State on Saturday.
Lamb played only two quarters of the 2017 home opener, completing 12 of his 15 passes for 327 yards as the Mountaineers (1-1) took a 45-0 lead into halftime of the "Gold Out" at Kidd Brewer Stadium. He matched the five-TD total accomplished previously by four App State quarterbacks: DeAndre Presley in 2010, Armanti Edwards in 2008, Richie Williams in 2004 and Pat Murphy in 1967 and 1968.
