TOP STORYLINES ? A new era begins for Appalachian State football on Saturday when the 12th-ranked Mountaineers open the 2013 season at No. 20 Montana.

? Most notably, Saturday's season-opener marks the debut for Appalachian State head coach Scott Satterfield. Satterfield was named Appalachian's 20th head coach Dec. 14, 2012. Satterfield replaces legendary head coach Jerry Moore, whose 24-year run at the helm of the Mountaineers came to an end following the 2012 campaign. For more on Scott Satterfield, see p. 5.

? Saturday's game also marks the beginning of the end of an era for Appalachian State football, as the Mountaineers open their final season in NCAA Division I FCS. On March 27, 2013, Appalachian officially accepted an invitation to join the NCAA Division I FBS Sun Belt Conference on July 1, 2014. For more on the transition to FBS, see p. 4.

? Saturday's game also wraps up perhaps the most anticipated regular-season series in FCS history, when Appalachian and Montana play the final game of a home-and-home series.

? The series began last Sept. 8 in Boone, N.C., when Appalachian scored its first-ever win over Montana with a 35-27 triumph in front of 30,856 at jam-packed Kidd Brewer Stadium.

? Despite last year's victory over the Griz, the Mountaineers still trail in the all-time series versus Montana, 2-1.

? Montana has won both previous meetings played in Missoula, Mont.

? Both of the previous App State-Montana matchups played at Washington-Grizzly Stadium came in the semifinals of the NCAA Division I-AA/FCS playoffs. The Griz topped the Apps in overtime, 19-16, in the 2000 national semifinals and eeked out a heartstopping 24-17 victory in the 2009 semis.

? Appalachian State and Montana have combined to win five NCAA Division I-AA/FCS national championships, make 10 I-AA/FCS championship-game appearances and earn 41 I-AA/FCS postseason berths.

? Appalachian State is opening the season versus an FCS opponent for only the fifth time in the last 20 seasons. Appalachian has not lost an opener to an FCS opponent since a 22-10 loss at North Carolina A&T in 1993.

AN APPALACHIAN STATE WIN WOULD ... ? be its first in three attempts at Washington-Grizzly Stadium.

? even the all-time series between Appalachian State and Montana at 2-2.

? be the program's first in 10 games played west of the Mississippi River.

? be its first in a season opener since 2010 and only its fourth in its last 12 openers.

AN APPALACHIAN STATE LOSS WOULD ... ? drop it to 0-3 all-time at Montana and 1-3 overall versus the Griz.

? drop it to 0-10 all-time in games played west of the Mississippi River.

? be its third-straight season-opening setback and ninth in its last 12 openers.

? mark the first time it lost a season opener to an NCAA Division I FCS opponent since it dropped a 22-10 decision at N.C. A&T in 1993.

GAME 1 ? AUGUST 31 at MONTANA

2013 Appalachian State FOOTBALL

NOTING MONTANA ? Montana is coming off an uncharacteristic 5-6 campaign in 2012 that snapped a string of 25-consecutive winning seasons. Prior to last season, the Griz hadn't had a losing season since it went 3-8 in 1985.

? Last year also marked just the second time in 20 seasons that Montana did not earn a berth in the NCAA Division I-AA/FCS playoffs. The Griz made 17-straight postseason appearances from 1993-2009 before the streak was snapped with a 7-4 campaign in 2010.

? The Griz earned a spot in the 2011 NCAA Division I Football Championship field and advanced to the national semifinals but that playoff berth, along with five victories from that season, were vacated as part of sanctions for NCAA rules violations that were announced this past summer.

? Montana is poised to make a return to the postseason this year with 19 full-time starters back from last year's squad.

? The Griz are especially loaded on defense, where they return 10 starters from a year ago. Montana's projected starting lineup on defense features six seniors and just two underclassmen (both sophomores).

? On offense Montana returns seven full-time starters and is also buoyed by the return of junior quarterback Jordan Johnson, who redshirted last season. Johnson threw for 2,400 yards and 21 touchdowns as a sophomore in 2011, helping lead the Griz to the national semifinals.

? Montana's Washington-Grizzly Stadium is one of the most difficult venues for a visiting team in all of college football. The Griz have won a whopping 88 percent (176-24) of their games at WGS since it opened in 1986 (including five wins from 2011 that were later vacated due to NCAA sanctions).

? Montana has lost consecutive home games just once in this millenium -- when it dropped back-to-back home contests to Northern Arizona (41-31) and Southern Utah (30-20) on Sept. 22 and Oct. 13 of last season. The Griz also lost their home finale last year (a 16-7 loss to archrival Montana State), meaning that an Appalachian State victory would give Montana consecutive home losses for only the second time since 2000.

? Appalachian is looking to become just the second Southern Conference team to ever win at Washington-Grizzly Stadium. Wofford topped the Griz, 23-22, in the opening round of the 2007 NCAA Division I Football Championship. SoCon teams are 1-4 all-time at WGS (App State - 0-2, ETSU - 0-1, Georgia Southern - 0-1, Wofford - 1-0).

APPALACHIAN-MONTANA SERIES HISTORY ? Longtime NCAA Division I FCS powers Appalachian State and Montana are squaring off for the second-straight season and fourth time overall.

? Montana leads the all-time series, 2-1.

? Appalachian downed UM, 35-27, on Sept. 8 of last season in the programs' first-ever regular-season meeting at Kidd Brewer Stadium in Boone, N.C. (see more in next column).

? Prior to last season, the Mountaineers and Griz had only met in the postseason, staging epic battles in the 2000 and 2009 NCAA Division I-AA/FCS national semifinals at Washington-Grizzly Stadium.

? In 2000, Montana's Drew Miller threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Jimmy Farris in overtime that lifted the Griz to a 19-16 victory over the Mountaineers. Appalachian, which trailed 13-3 in the fourth quarter, rallied to send the contest to overtime on a Mark Wright 27-yard field goal as time expired. Wright hit a 36-yarder on the first series of overtime before Miller and Farris' game-winning connection.

? In 2009, Appalachian returned to Missoula, Mont. for the national semifinals and once again lost in heartbreaking fashion, 24-17. The Mountaineers led, 17-14, going into the fourth quarter but Montana took a 24-17 lead on a 25-yard pass from Andrew Selle to Jabin Sambrano with 1:37 to go. In his final collegiate game, Armanti Edwards led Appalachian all the way to the three yard line but on the final play of the game, a would-be game-tying touchdown pass slipped through the hands of Brian Quick to seal the win for the Griz. Edwards racked up 407 yards of total offense (353 passing, 54 rushing) and Quick caught 10 passes for 135 yards in the loss.

? Appalachian and Montana have combined to win five NCAA Division I-AA/FCS national championships, make 10 I-AA/FCS championship-game appearances and earn 40* I-AA/FCS postseason berths.

? Since 2005, App State and Montana are FCS's winningest programs with 87 and 77* victories, respectively.

* Montana also had five victories and a postseason appearance in 2011 that were vacated this summer due to NCAA sanctions.

NOTING LAST YEAR'S WIN OVER MONTANA ? Perhaps the most anticipated regular-season matchup in NCAA Division I FCS history certainly lived up to the hype on Sept. 8, 2012 when No. 11/8 Appalachian State topped No. 12/9 Montana in an epic battle at The Rock.

? A raucous crowd of 30,856, the third-largest in Kidd Brewer Stadium history, saw the FCS powerhouses combine for 900 yards of offense and 19 third- and fourth-down conversions in a contest that, like the two Appalachian State-Montana matchups before it, came down to the wire.

? Appalachian forced two of Montana's four turnovers in the first quarter and turned both miscues into touchdowns to jump out to a 21-7 lead after just one period. The Griz roared back with 14 points in the second quarter to send the game to halftime tied at 21-21 and the score remained deadlocked until a heart-stopping fourth quarter.

? The Mountaineers regained a 28-21 advantage early in the final period when it marched 67 yards in just 1:44. A 32-yard pass from Jamal Londry-Jackson to Sean Price on the drive's first play and a 25-yard touchdown strike from Jackson to Andrew Peacock accounted for 57 of the 67 yards but the biggest play of the possession when Jackson scrambled for a first down on fourth-and-one to keep the series alive and set up the go-ahead touchdown pass to Peacock.

? Later in the fourth quarter, Montana drew within a point on an 87-yard touchdown reception by running back Dan Moore but App State maintained a 28-27 advantage when Griz kicker Chris Lider missed the extra point.

? On the ensuing possession, Appalachian put together a vintage 11-play, 78-yard touchdown drive to stretch its lead to 35-27. Facing third-and-16 from the UM 46 midway through the series, Jackson found true freshman Malachi Jones for a 17-yard first-down pass to keep the drive alive. Steven Miller (now with the Detroit Lions) picked up the final 29 yards from there, capped by his second touchdown of the game with 5:05 to play.

? Thanks to a third-down conversion and two fourth-down conversions, Montana marched

SEASON OPENERS ? Appalachian State is 47-33-3 all-time in season openers (.584).

? Appalachian has won just three of its last 11 and seven of its last 21 openers, dating back to 1992. However, that mark is a bit deceiving considering that 16 of those 21 contests have come against NCAA Division I-A/FBS opponents.

? The Mountaineers have not lost a season opener to a I-AA/FCS opponent since a 2210 setback at North Carolina A&T on Sept. 4, 1993.

? This year also marks the 12th-straight season that Appalachian State opens the campaign on the road. Appalachian has not played a season opener at home since it defeated Liberty, 46-26, to open the 2001 campaign.

TRANSITIONING TO FBS, SUN BELT ? On March 27, 2013, Appalachian State University announced that it would join the Sun Belt Conference on July 1, 2014.

? With the move to the Sun Belt, Appalachian State football will transition to college football's highest level, the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS -- formerly known as Division I-A).

? Appalachian State football must complete a two-year reclassification process from FCS to FBS. Among other requirements, Appalachian State must raise the number of football scholarships it offers from 63 to 85 during the reclassification period.

? In the first year of the reclassification process (2013), Appalachian State will play a full Southern Conference schedule but will be ineligible for participation in the NCAA Division I Football Championship. Appalachian will also be ineligible to officially win the Southern Conference title, as the league would forfeit its automatic berth in the Division I Football Championship if its champion were ineligible to participate in the postseason.

? The SoCon originally ruled that Appalachian State and Georgia Southern (which is also in the first year of transition to FBS and the Sun Belt) would be listed in the league's regular-season standings in 2013, much like Chattanooga was in 2009 when it was ineligible to participate in the NCAA postseason and, therefore, could not officially win the SoCon title.

? However, on Aug. 12, four-and-a-half months after App State and Georgia Southern accepted their invitations to join the Sun Belt and move to FBS and nearly three weeks after the SoCon reiterated on its media day that

Appalachian and GSU would be listed in the conference standings, the SoCon abruptly changed course and bucked precedent by announcing that the Mountaineers and Eagles would be listed below the league's other seven teams in the 2013 standings, regardless of their records in conference play.

? In the second year of the reclassification process (2014), Appalachian State will play a full Sun Belt Conference schedule and be eligible to win the Sun Belt championship but will not be eligible to participate in a postseason bowl game.

? Appalachian State becomes bowl-eligible in 2015.

SoCon SUPREMACY -- PART I ? In what turned out to be its final chance to win the Southern Conference, Appalachian State claimed its record-tying 12th SoCon championship in 2012.

? Since the SoCon began crowning a champion in 1933, only Furman, which won 12 titles in its first 73 years in the conference, has claimed more championships than the 11 that Appalachian won in its first 41 seasons in the league.

? Last year's SoCon title was Appalachian State's seventh in eight years. In the SoCon's championship era (1933-present), Georgia Southern (1997-2002, 2004) is the only other program to win seven titles in an eight-year span.

? Appalachian also matched a SoCon record with its six-consecutive conference championships from 2005-10, matching the mark originally set by Georgia Southern from 19972002.

? Since the beginning of the 2005 campaign, Appalachian is 36-1 against SoCon foes besides Georgia Southern, Wofford and Furman (and a still-impressive 17-7 against the Eagles, Terriers and Paladins). The Mountaineers' loss to The Citadel on Sept. 15 of last season marked the first time since a 30-27 setback at Western Carolina on Nov. 13, 2004 that App State lost to a conference opponent outside of the GSU-Wofford-Furman trio.

CAROLINAS' BEST ? Prior to winning its first national championship in 2005, a quantitative study by the Charlotte Observer tabbed Appalachian State as the Carolinas' most successful Division I football program over the previous two decades (1985-2004).

? A look at the numbers since the turn of the millenium seem to vaildate the Observer's findings. Since 2000, Appalachian easily has the best winning percentage of any Division I program in North or South Carolina.

IN THE NATIONAL POLLS ? Appalachian State is ranked No. 12 nationally in The Sports Network's NCAA Division I FCS preseason top-25 poll.

? However, the Mountaineers' ranking is very likely not an actual indication of where prognosticators truly feel Appalachian stacks up nationally in its final FCS season. The Mountaineers' No. 12 ranking came despite some voters leaving Appalachian off their ballots altogether in response to the Apps'

impending move to the Sun Belt Conference and NCAA Division I FBS ranks in 2014.

? Appalachian State has been ranked in The Sports Network poll for 109-straight weeks, dating back to the Sept. 19, 2005 rankings.

? Appalachian is 203-79-1 (.721) all-time in games in which they are nationally ranked.

? Appalachian is 5-0 all-time when playing as the No. 12 team in The Sports Network poll. Most recently the 12th-ranked Mountaineers defeated Furman, 33-28, to claim its 12th Southern Conference title in last year's regular-season finale (Nov. 12, 2012).

? Much like the Southern Conference did with regards to its regular-season standings, the FCS coaches' poll (which is administered by the SoCon) bucked precedent by making Appalachian State ineligible for its rankings in the Mountaineers' first year of transition from FCS to FBS. The policy represents a change of course from 2011 when Massachusetts and Texas State were eligible for the poll during their initial year of transition.

GAME 1 ? AUGUST 31 at MONTANA

2013 Appalachian State FOOTBALL

Offense

TEAM ? Appalachian State returns 10 starters from last season's high-powered offense. The 10 returning offensive starters are the Mountaineers' most since Appalachian began tracking starters returning/lost in 1983.

? With a relatively inexperienced offensive unit a year ago, Appalachian State ranked among the nation's top 25 in total offense (ninth - 464.0 ypg), passing efficiency (ninth -152.03 rating), passing yardage (14th - 293.8 ypg) and scoring (23rd - 32.92 ypg).

? Appalachian also ranked 39th in rushing yardage a season ago (170.3 ypg), making it one of only four FCS programs to rank among the nation's top 40 in all five major offensive statistical categories -- scoring, rushing, passing, passing efficiency and total offense. Coastal Carolina, Harvard and Northern Arizona were the only other squads to accomplish the feat.

? Since installing its patented spread offense in 2004, Appalachian State has finished among the nation's top 25 in the five major offensive statistical categories 30 out of a possible 45 times. That impressive percentage includes an 0-for-5 in 2011, when it did not finish higher than 37th in any category.

? Appalachian's 464 yards of total offense per game last season was the second-highest average in program history, behind only the 488.3 that the Mountaineers averaged in 2007, when it won its last of three-straight

national championships, and the 465.1 that they averaged in 2009, the senior season of two-time Walter Payton Award-winning quarterback Armanti Edwards.

? Appalachian State set a school record by amassing at least 400 yards of total offense 10 times in 11 regular-season games last season. The previous record for 400-yard games during the regular season was eight, also set in 2007.

? In each of their final 11 games of the season, the Mountaineers gained more yards than their opponent's season average for yards allowed going into the ballgame.

? Despite fielding a total of nine first-time starters on offense over the course of last season, Appalachian's increased its offensive output by 18.9 percent over 2011, when current NFL players Brian Quick, Travaris Cadet and DeAndre Presley all played prominent roles in the unit (464.0 ypg in 2012, 390.2 ypg in 2011).

? Since the beginning of the 2004 (when Appalachian State started running its spread offense), the Mountaineers have scored 30 points or more 82 times in 121 games (67.8 percent of all games) and have scored 40 points or more 43 times (35.5 percent of all games).

? Also since the beginning of the 2004 campaign, Appalachian has gained 20 yards or more on 7.4 percent of its offensive plays (580 times in 7,791 plays).

? Last season, the Mountaineers gained 20 yards or more on 6.8 percent of their offensive plays (60-of-877).

QUARTERBACKS ? Senior quarterback Jamal Londry-Jackson returns for his third and final season as Appalachian State's starting signal-caller in 2013.

? Londry-Jackson is coming off one of the best seasons by a passer in Appalachian history. He set school records for single-season completions (268) and pass attempts (406) last season and threw for 3,278 yards, just 13 yards shy of the school record of 3,291 set by Armanti Edwards as a senior in 2009.

? Londry-Jackson owns six school records and ranks among the program's all-time leaders in virtually every category for a QB.

2013 Appalachian State FOOTBALL

GAME 1 ? AUGUST 31 at MONTANA

2013 Appalachian State FOOTBALL

Offense

? Last season, Londry-Jackson became the third player in Appalachian State history with 3,000 passing yards in a season (Edwards - 2009, Richie Williams - 2004), the fourth with 3,000 yards of total offense in a season (Edwards - 2006-09, Williams - 2004-05 and DeAndre Presley - 2010) and the fifth with 20 touchdown passes in a season (Edwards 2008, Williams - 2004-05, Presley - 2010 and Pat Murphy - 1968).

? For his career, Londry-Jackson is one of five players in Appalachian State history with 6,000 yards of total offense (Edwards, Williams, Steve Brown - 1977-80 and D.J. Campbell - 1989-92), seven with 400 completions (Edwards, Williams, Campbell, Joe Burchette - 1999-2002, Randy Joyce - 1981-84 and Brown) and eight with 5,000 passing yards (Edwards, Williams, Brown, Burchette, Murphy and Joyce).

? In 19 career starts, Londry-Jackson has passed for at least 200 yards and amassed at least 250 yards of total offense 17 times.

? Londry-Jackson has also completed at least 57.5 percent of his passes in 17 of his 19 starts. He has never completed less than half of his passes as a starter.

? Despite throwing 28 more passes than any Mountaineer has ever thrown, Londry-Jackson completed 66.0 percent of his attempts in 2012, good for fourth in single-season school history.

? Londry-Jackson has completed 63.9 percent of his 628 career pass attempts (436 completions), good for second in school history behind Edwards (768-1,180 - 65.1 percent).

? With 300 passing yards on Saturday at Montana, Londry-Jackson would become the first player in Appalachian State history with four-straight 300-yard passing games. He is currently tied with Edwards for the school record of three-consecutive 300-yard games.

THREE-CONSECUTIVE 300-YD PASSING GAMES APPALACHIAN STATE HISTORY

Jamal Londry-Jackson ? 383 vs. Georgia Southern, Nov. 3, 2012 ? 332 vs. Furman, Nov. 10, 2012 ? 373 vs. Illinois State, Dec. 1, 2012

possessions with him behind center (30 percent). For comparison's sake, in its previous 23 possessions before Londry-Jackson took over as starting quarterback on Oct. 15, 2011 at The Citadel, Appalachian's offense had reached the end zone only twice (8.7 percent).

? Although they're inexperienced at the position, the Mountaineers enjoy great depth behind Londry-Jackson at quarterback.

? Sophomore Kameron Bryant put together a terrific fall camp to solidify his standing as Londry-Jackson's top backup.

? Bryant made his collegiate debut in a 55-14 rout over Coastal Carolina on Sept. 29 of last season but just 13 snaps in, he sustained a season-ending knee injury.

? Also adding depth at QB is junior Logan Hallock, who turned in one of Appalachian State's most memorable performances of the 2012 campaign in a 38-27 win at Western Carolina on Oct. 27.

? After Londry-Jackson went down with a knee injury that would eventually require offseason surgery just 10 minutes in to the win over WCU, Hallock entered the game and completed 20-of-21 passes for 230 yards and two touchdowns.

? Hallock's .952 completion percentage was a single-game school record and ranked fourth in Southern Conference history (min. 10 completions).

? Hallock, whose only two previous plays as a college quarterback came when he handed off twice to close out Appalachian's 55-14 win over Coastal Carolina on Sept. 29, completed the first 20 passes he threw against WCU (the first 20 passes of his collegiate career). The 20-consecutive completions were good for a tie for second in SoCon history, behind only the NCAA all-divisions record of 28 set by former Mountaineer Richie Williams versus Furman in 2004.

RUNNING BACKS ? The only offensive position where Appalachian State does not return a starter this season is running back.

year are also no longer at the position. Rod Chisholm (41 att., 154 yds., 2 TD) graduated and Michael Frazier (17 att., 93 yds., 1 TD) returned to his natural position at outside linebacker during the offseason.

? The Mountaineers' only running back that saw any game action last year is sophomore Ricky Fergerson, who had five carries for one yard as a true freshman in 2012.

? Despite the inexperience, Fergerson has earned the starting assignment at running back with strong performances during spring practice and fall camp.

? Among those expected to back Fergerson up are redshirt freshman Paul Magloire, true freshman Marcus Cox and sophomore Eric Davidson, a transfer from the University of Utah.

WIDE RECEIVERS ? Appalachian State boasts what many prognosticators consider to be the nation's top corps of wide receivers.

? Appalachian wideouts combined for 242 receptions for 2,966 yards and 17 touchdowns a year ago and all six players that contributed to that production -- seniors Andrew Peacock and Tony Washington and sophomores Sean Price, Malachi Jones, Simms McElfresh and Tacoi Sumler are back in 2013.

? Price, Peacock, Washington and Jones all ranked among the Southern Conference's top 20 in receiving yards and receptions per game.

Malachi Jones 16th - 370 (30.8 ypg) 18th - 32 (2.7 pg)

? Over the last 19 games (which coincide with classmate Jamal Londry-Jackson's 19 starts at quarterback), Peacock and Washington have combined for 166 receptions, 1,844 receiving yards and 10 touchdown catches.

Armanti Edwards ? 415 vs. Wofford, Oct. 17, 2009 ? 320 vs. Georgia Southern, Oct. 24, 2009 ? 355 vs. Furman, Oct. 31, 2009

? Since Londry-Jackson took over as Appalachian's starting quarterback six games into the 2011 season, the Mountaineers have scored touchdowns on 71-of-237 offensive

? Most notably, Appalachian must fill the shoes left by the departure of Steven Miller, who rushed for 1,368 yards last season, good for seventh in school history, and amassed 377 receiving yards and 15 total touchdowns (11 rushing, four receiving).

? In addition to Miller, the only other running backs to receive double-digit carries last
