BOONE, N.C. -- Armanti Edwards threw three touchdowns and Devon Moore rushed for three to lead Appalachian State in a 52-16 rout of Georgia Southern on Saturday.
Edwards was 26-for-34 with 320 yards and rushed for 39 yards for the Mountaineers (5-2, 4-0 Southern Conference), who won their fifth straight game. Travaris Cadet rushed for 131 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries, and threw for 64 yards and an interception.
CoCo Hillary had 104 yards receiving and two scores on seven catches for Appalachian State, and Matt Cline caught 10 balls for 102 yards and a score.
The score was tied 7-7 midway through the opening quarter, but Appalachian State outscored the Eagles (4-4, 3-2) 35-3 until early in the third, capping the spree on Moore's 10-yard scamper for a 42-10 lead. Cadet's 15-yard TD run with 3:15 to play sealed the scoring.
The Mountaineers gained 712 total yards compared to just 171 for the Eagles. The 52 points was the most Georgia Southern has given up in the regular season to a Football Championship Subdivision team in school history.
Lee Chapple was 20-for-34 with 156 yards and an interception.
Georgia Southern defensive back Hudson Presume was taken to Watauga Medical Center in Boone after injuring his neck on the same play in which he forced a fumble. He was carted off the field and rushed to the hospital during the second quarter, but later released to travel home with the team after regaining full movement and his tests came back negative.
