Takeaways
None of Appalachian’s three opponents have even fumbled this season, much less lost a fumble.
Coach Jerry Moore of the Mountaineers was pleased with his team’s defensive performance against Samford yesterday, but would like to see more turnovers created.
The Mountaineers typically do, but don’t have a forced fumble to date. They do have four interceptions (two against East Carolina and one each against McNeese State and Samford).
More notes from the Samford game: Moore was pleased with the punting of freshman Sam Martin, who kept the Bulldogs pinned in much of the day. Martin had five punts downed inside the 20-yard line…. Backup quarterback Travaris Cadet saw some time at receiver. The Mountaineers want Cadet on the field, and Moore said the hope to use him some in a non-quarterback situation.
