App State’s season got kicked off with a matchup versus Charlotte on August 29. The Mountaineers were down early but then scored 27 points across the second and third quarters during a 34-11 victory in the end. QB AJ Swann logged 31-of-46 passing for 368 yards and a trio of scores. tops among the rushing attack was Rashod Dubinion with 22 totes for 111 yards and a touchdown, while Jaden Barnes led the receivers with his six catches for 134 yards and a touchdown of his own.
In their game two matchup versus Lindenwood last weekend, the Mountaineers scored 14 points in the first quarter but could only muster a couple of field goals after that during a 20-13 win. Swann was 19-of-34 this time for 294 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Dubinion rushed 25 times for 194 yards to lead the ground attack. Dalton Stroman was the high man among receivers with three grabs for 141 yards and a touchdown. Barnes also had a TD among his eight catches for 71 yards.
Over on the Southern Miss side, they got things started this year with a game against Mississippi State on August 30. The Golden Eagles were only down by a field goal at halftime but then gave up 21 unanswered points in the third quarter along the way to a 34-17 loss in the end. QB Braylon Braxton went 26-of-39 for 199 yards, two scores and one interception while also leading the rushers on 12 carries for 58 yards. Jeffery Pittman had 52 yards on six catches to lead the receivers, but Carl Chester was right there on five catches for 52 yards as well.
Matched up against Jackson State in game two, the Golden Eagles put up 14 points in both the first and fourth quarters on the way to a 38-20 victory. Braxton was 20-of-30 for 214 yards and three touchdowns. Pittman led the rush with 71 yards on 10 carries, and Bralon Brown had three catches for 52 yards and a score.
Heading into Week 3, Michael Montgomery leads the Sun Belt Conference for interceptions (1) this season.
Appalachian State Mountaineers Player Prop Facts
Heading into Week 3, Rashod Dubinion ranks T2nd amongst FBS players for rushing attempts (47) this season.
Southern Miss ranks T124th among FBS teams for Q3 opponent points per game this season (10.5).
Southern Miss ranks T21st among FBS teams for Q4 points per game this season (10.5).
Appalachian State ranks 5th among FBS teams for rushing yards allowed per game this season (37.5).
Appalachian State ranks T7th among FBS teams for interceptions this season (3).
I’ll stick with Southern Miss. The Eagles outclassed Jackson State pretty well in their last outing, holding the Tigers to 131 passing yards and 5-of-16 on third downs while bagging a pair of picks. Jackson State’s 12 penalties for 87 yards didn’t hurt matters, though. It was a nice bounce-back effort following the opener loss to Mississippi State.
As for Appalachian State, they played it way too close last weekend in their seven-point home win over a Lindenwood team that shouldn’t have been on their level. Part of the problem was the four turnovers; another was the nine penalties; still another was the 24:52 in time of possession. If you looked strictly at defensive numbers however, you’d think it was a blowout: 216 yards, 13 first downs and 3-of-17 on third-down tries allowed, along with two picks. I’m not quite sure what App State is just yet, so I don’t trust them enough on a cover.
