APPALACHIAN STATE MAKING FBS NOISE
Hats off to Scott Satterfield. Earlier this week, he had the distinction of being written up as the lowest-paid FBS head coach in the country at $225,000 a year. The 41-year-old former Appalachian State QB, a former FIU OC who was the QB coach for the Mountaineers when they won three FCS national titles, has produced a nice bounce-back year after a shaky 4-8 debut season in 2013.
On Saturday, Appalachian State went to ULL and gave the Ragin Cajuns their first loss in the Sun Belt this season in a 35-16 romp. The win was App State's fifth in a row and enabled the Mountaineers to become the first team since FIU in 2010 to beat Sun Belt powers Arkansas State and UL-Lafayette in back-to-back games. Satterfield, who runs a no-huddle, spread attack, was actually the FIU OC when the Golden Panthers pulled off that double too. The win over ULL also means they are guaranteed to finish at .500 or better in their first NCAA Division I FBS season.
The Mountaineers figure to just be getting started. Of their 22 starters, 14 are freshmen and sophomores and they have only one senior starter on each side of the ball, Satterfield told FOXSports.com Sunday night.
"Midway through the season the kids just kept getting better and better," he said. His two budding stars are workhorse running back Marcus Cox, a sophomore, and dual-threat QB Taylor Lamb, a freshman. The 195-pound Cox has run for almost 1,300 yards and 17 TDs, rolling up 724 yards and eight TDs in the past four games. Lamb, the son of Mercer head coach Bobby Lamb, leads the Sun Belt in passer rating. His O-line also is doing a very nice job too, having surrendered only one sack in four games in November.
