At the end of three quarters, Appalachian State leads Delaware 35-14 in the Football Champion Subdivision title game.
James Madison was the only team that held the Mountaineers under 30 points this season, and I can only imagine what it must feel like for JMU players to watch Appalachian march towards its third straight NCAA championship.
Appalachian quarterback Armanti Edwards has three passing touchdowns through as many quarters, but surprisingly hasn't rushed for a TD. He appears headed towards another 100-yard rushing performance though, as he has 82 yards on 16 carries with a quarter left.
While Madison fans can only wonder what could have been, Armanti Edwards is attracting Heisman attention for next season. That's right, Edwards will be a junior in 2008, and this Sports Illustrated article by Stewart Mandel points out that three I-AA players have finished in the top 10 of Heisman voting since the I-A/I-AA distinction was established in 1978. Among them: Jerry Rice.
Just something else to think about, other than what Madison could have accomplished if not for a failed fourth-down attempt at its own 32-yard line and a fumble inside the Appalachian 10-yard line with 25 seconds left.
