Armanti Edwards, the junior quarterback of the ASU Mountaineer football team.
The most celebrated athlete in Appalachian State University’s history isn’t flashy, or loud.

- MEET THE ENEMY—Anthony Eifler, president of the Student Duke Club at James Madison, shows off a JMU fan T-shirt designed specifically for this Saturday’s game against ASU.
No matter how much anyone tries to say that last year’s ASU football defeat of James Madison in the first round of the playoffs is in the past, it’s clearly not.
