Appalachian State rolls over Delaware for third straight title Chattanooga, TN (Sports Network) - Armanti Edwards threw for three touchdowns, and Appalachian State captured its unprecedented third straight national crown by routing Delaware, 49-21, in the Football Championship Subdivision title contest.
The Mountaineers (13-2), who pulled off a shocker by beating Big Ten powerhouse Michigan on the road in their season opener, and won the Southern Conference, culminated the season with their 12th consecutive playoff victory.
ASU became the first Division I squad since Army in 1946 to win three national championships in a row.
The Mountaineers are undefeated in all three trips to the national championship game. The Mountaineers topped Northern Iowa, 21-16, in 2005 and defeated Massachusetts, 28-17, last year.
Joe Flacco threw for one score for Delaware (11-4), which was trying for its seventh national title.

Next week starts the bowls. Go UConn, beat Wake Forest on the 29th in Charlotte!
App State is really having a year. First they beat #5 Michigan, now Delaware! Wow.
I hope not. Why should you move up with a goal to play in the Muffler Bowl (in Charlotte)? At App States level they can play to be the best. They went through the playoffs and won it all.
OT, but an interesting piece. Rodriguez to Michigan???

Just heard during the Steelers game, Coach Rick is gone!
I was listening to the falcons-bucs game on the radio today and they said Tebow was at the game and when they showed Tebow on the bigscreen the crowd cheered.
