The Mountaineers played the Elon Phoenix in its home opener of the 2021 season, winning comfortably 44-10. App State put on a show with 528 yards of total offense in front of a sold out crowd at Kidd Brewer Stadium.
“I just want to say thank you to the fans. I think the fans were a big part of today and helping us get over the hump,” App State head coach Shawn Clark said. “It was exciting coming back to The Rock.”
The Elon Phoenix started with the football after winning the coin toss and its first drive ended in a punt.
