Brad Lawing

Former App State DL coach, Brad Lawing, joined us in December to talk about the beginning of what we now know as the App State football. We had a blast hearing stories from coach's time in Boone and how that entire staff viewed recruiting and how they built a powerhouse program. Unfortunately, Coach Lawing passed away on June 14th. To honor his memory and the period of time coach was so passionate about, we brought back Chip Sigmon who coached with Coach Lawing in Boone in the 1980s. It's a great tribute to a man who has had a tremendous impact on so many App State legends. We also reveal the winners of the football video crew raffle.

The last time the Mountaineers played on Halloween, a high powered App State offense destroyed the Wofford Terriers 70-24.But this isn't 2008. And the Mountaineers have a new element to match a high powered offense... the Zombies on the Mountaineer defense.From the beginning of fall camp, the members of the Mountaineer defense have been completely sold on defensive coordinator Nate Woody's strategy. Play your asignment. Do your job. Get your man. No more. No less.Combine that approach with the outstanding talent on defense and an intense strength and conditioning program and you get defensive ZOMBIES! They play together. They repeat the same thing about the App State defensive philosophy. They feed on opposing offenses and they are not to be trifled with. Oh, and they're in the top ten defenses in the entire country and by far the best defense in the Sun Belt.This week's show previews the Halloween matchup of the Mountaineers against the Trojans of Troy. With Troy coming off their BIGGEST conference win in a long time, it's time for App State and the Zombie defense to step up and continue their quest for a Sun Belt Championship!
