BOONE, N.C. — The national success of and interest in App State Football has caught the eye of CBS.
When the 23rd-ranked Mountaineers (1-0) face Marshall (1-0) on Saturday in Huntington, W.Va., the game will air in the highly coveted 3:30 p.m. time slot on the primary CBS channel. Rich Waltz, former Georgia and NFL quarterback Aaron Murray and Sherree Burrruss will announce the game for CBS.
The game previously had been scheduled for 1:30 p.m. on the CBS Sports Network before being elevated to appear on "America's Most-Watched Network." While App State has made frequent national television appearances on networks such as ESPN, this will be just the second time the Mountaineers have played on CBS.
