Coach Jerry Moore often points out how young his teams are.

He might be on to something this time considering last week’s movie fare. The Appalachian State football team gathered and watched a Disney movie the night before the Samford game.

“That’s how young we are,” Moore said.

The Mountaineers do have four freshmen on the offensive and defensive lines, and now a sophomore quarterback to go along with three sophomore receivers.

And a lot of them know the tunes from The Lion King, last week’s movie choice. “They started singing those Friday night about 9 o’clock,” Moore said.

This week’s movie choice heading into the game against No. 1 Georgia Southern?

“I don’t know, we might have to find Miracle or something,” Moore said.
