American college football season
The 2008 Appalachian State Mountaineers football team represented Appalachian State University in the 2008 NCAA Division I FCS football season . It was the 79th season of play for the Mountaineers. The team was led by Jerry Moore , the 2006 Eddie Robinson Award winner for Coach of the Year. It was his 20th season as head coach. The Mountaineers played their home games at Kidd Brewer Stadium in Boone, North Carolina .[ 4]
Appalachian completed a perfect Southern Conference season at 8–0, and became just the fourth football program in conference history to win four straight conference titles .[ 5] A quarterfinal playoff loss to the Richmond Spiders ended Appalachian's season, the quest for four consecutive national titles , and snapped the Mountaineers' record string of consecutive playoff victories at 13.[ 6] [ 7] Ending the season on a positive note was quarterback Armanti Edwards , who was honored with the Walter Payton Award , given annually to the Division I FCS most outstanding offensive player.[ 8]
