Anticipation and emotion about an Appalachian State football game is at fever pitch for Saturday’s clash with Wake Forest, schools only 86 miles apart.
It will mark Wake Forest’s first time playing the Mountaineers in Boone. Billed as “Black Saturday” for Appalachian State, the game will kick off at 3:30 p.m. in Kidd Brewer Stadium. It will be televised on ESPN3.
It will be the second time Appalachian State has hosted an Atlantic Coast Conference team. Miami beat the Mountaineers 45-10 in Boone a season ago.
The matchup between the Mountaineers (2-1) and the undefeated Demon Deacons (3-0) will be the 23rd in series history.
