Appalachian Sports Information has released the following regarding a play that took place during Saturday's ASU football win over Samford. It was a truly remarkable play to see. More magic from the 2008 Walter Payton Award Winner.
BOONE, N.C. — Perhaps the most spectacular play in the illustrious career of Appalachian State University quarterback Armanti Edwards (Greenwood, S.C./Greenwood) has been recognized by ESPN’s SportsCenter as the weekend’s No. 2 play in all of sports.
On a second-and-11 play early in the second quarter of Appalachian’s 20-7 win over Samford on Saturday at rain-soaked Kidd Brewer Stadium, Edwards escaped a sack, lost control of the slick ball, corralled the loose ball, escaped another sack and, while being dragged to the ground, completed a pass to Cedric Baker (Wilmington, N.C./New Hanover) for a 16-yard gain. The effort set up a field goal that gave ASU a 10-0 lead.
On Monday morning, SportsCenter’s “Top 10 Plays of the Weekend” segment tabbed the play as No. 2, behind only Brett Favre’s 32-yard touchdown pass to Greg Lewis on the final play of the Minnesota Vikings’ 27-24 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
Fans can vote for the play as the weekend’s top moment in the Gatorade “G Moments” poll at the bottom of the front page at ESPN.com.
