The App State Mountaineers football team (1-1) faced off against the Savannah State Tigers (0-1) in their first home game of the season. Appalachian looked to bounce back from a crushing season opener against Georgia, with the hopes of a good game being a kick-starter for a season they hope will end in a bowl game.
The Mountaineers got the kick-starter they wanted, as their high-powered offense seemed to be able to do whatever they wanted to their FCS opponents. The starters only played the first half, where they outscored the Tigers 45-0. Leading the way was senior quarterback Taylor Lamb, whose career day was the highlight of the dominant performance.
