SAN MARCOS, Texas (AP) — Zac Thomas threw for three touchdowns and Daetrich Harrington ran for 113 yards and Appalachian State pulled away from Texas State 38-17. It’s the seventh straight season in which Appalachian State has put together a four-game win streak. Tyler Vitt put the Bobcats on the scoreboard first when he threw a 75-yard touchdown catch-and-run to Javen Banks just 44 seconds into the game. The Mountaineers responded with a seven-play, 72-yard scoring drive that ended with Thomas throwing a 32-yard touchdown pass to Miller Gibbs. Later, Brendan Harrington picked off Vitt, returned it 49 yards for the score and App State never trailed again.
