NCAA STATISTICAL POLICY Before 2002, postseason games were not included in NCAA final football statistics or records. Despite the NCAA policy, Appalachian previously recognized statistics from all games — regular season and postseason — in its single-season and career records. However, in order to maintain consistency with NCAA and Southern Conference records, beginning in 2006, Appalachian readjusted its single-season and career records, eliminating statistics compiled in 19 NCAA Division I-AA playoff games played before 2002. Many thanks to former associate sports information director Ty Patton for his assistance in this task.
