Appalachian St. 48, Lenoir-Rhyne 7

BOONE, N.C. (AP) -- Jerry Moore looked up and saw every seat filled. The grassy bank was full of fans, too, and it seemed as though every other Appalachian State fan was wearing a T-shirt with a saying that celebrated the monumental upset of Michigan a week earlier.
"I'm going to tell you I was taken aback by it," the Mountaineers coach said. "They were sitting on top of that chicken wagon. They were in the trees. It was awesome thing."
Moore's players made sure the good times continued.
Backup Trey Elder threw four touchdown passes and ran for another -- on the Mountaineers' first five possessions -- in a 48-7 win over overmatched Division II Lenoir-Rhyne on Saturday in front of a record crowd still delirious about the school's recent fame.
A week after pulling off perhaps the biggest upset in college football history, swaths of fans wore T-shirts saying "We Brought Down The House 34-32." Other shirts read "Betcha know where Boone, N.C. is now!!!" and "Where's Ann Arbor?"
