MOSCOW, Idaho (AP) - Jalin Moore rushed for a freshman school-record 244 yards, and Appalachian State beat Idaho 47-20 on Saturday night.

Moore, whose previous high was 75 yards, carried the Mountaineers up and down the field with 27 carries though he didn't score. The Mountaineers finished with 401 yards rushing and outgained Idaho 511-299 in total offense.
