Appalachian State’s 34-17 victory over the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga just completed Saturday night, someone asked ASU coach Jerry Moore how tough the Mountaineers’ practices had been the past week.
After all, this same No. 17 App crew had fallen 52-28 at home to The Citadel a week earlier.
“Well, we had one guy get a concussion in practice and didn’t play tonight,” Moore said. “That should tell you something.”
Given that ASU has won three national championships over the past decade, perhaps that should tell fourth-year UTC coach Russ Huesman how he might want to practice his Mocs in preparation for this Saturday’s trip to, gulp, The Citadel.
At least his son Jacob, the team’s starting quarterback at the moment, seemed to hint at the wisdom of such a strategy.
