BOONE, N.C. — As receiver Thomas Hennigan weaved his way across the field, catching a short pass near the right sideline and gaining 51 yards before running out of bounds along the left sideline, Appalachian State's offensive linemen gave chase.
The final result was worthy of a film-room freeze frame. There were 10 offensive players near the spot, including all five linemen, and only four defenders.
"That was pretty cool to freeze the picture and see your guys hustling downfield to block for a teammate," App State co-offensive coordinator and offensive line coach Shawn Clark said.
