LIVE FROM "The Rock:" Apps Host Elon in Polar Weather

We're live @ the Rock for today's rainy, chilly ballgame. We'll keep bringing updates as the weather allows (an outdoor press box means dealing with elements.)
App State wins the toss and chooses to receive. The Mountaineers get the ball first. A nasty weather forecast but no precip yet. If ASU wins today they will take at least a share of the SoCon Championship and the automatic bid for the upcoming FCS playoffs.

ASU drives inside the Elon 30 yard line, but an Armanti Edwards fumble gives possession to the Phoenix for their first series of the ballgame.

3:45 PM Elon drives downfield with the help of a couple key pass plays and a pass interference penalty, but ASU's defense forces an Elon field goal attempt which sails wide left. Still scoreless with just under seven minutes left in the opening quarter. The rain has begun to fall again on the field.
Note: Due to the weather elements, we were unable to blog from Saturday's game like we normally do.
