Mountaineer Day gives fans first experience of Drinkwitz era, Howell awarded scholarship

Fans got their first taste of what App State football will look like under new head coach Eliah Drinkwitz during an open scrimmage at Kidd Brewer Stadium on March 30.

A few hundred dedicated fans and students showed up on the brisk, cloud-covered morning to watch the scrimmage. Coaches didn’t split the team into two squads, but chose to have the offense face the defense, making adjustments as they saw fit. Players were usually switched out after every score or defensive stop.

“(I saw) continuity. Doing the same thing over and over again and getting better results,” Drinkwitz said.
