Appalachian State took care of business Saturday in its first-place showdown at Georgia State. A Sun Belt Conference Championship will be at stake next Saturday.
Capitalizing on big third-quarter plays from captains Jalin Moore and A.J. Howard, Appalachian State claimed a 31-10 road victory against the Panthers at Georgia State Stadium (old Turner Field) in Atlanta.
The Mountaineers and Georgia State were two of four teams that are part of a first-place tie in the Sun Belt. Appalachian State (7-4 over-all, 6-1 conference) can clinch at least a share of a second straight league title by winning its December 2 finale against Louisiana in Boone’s Kidd Brewer Stadium.
