Appalachian State follows a big non-league win against Power Five conference opponent North Carolina (34-31) this Saturday, September 28 (3:30 p.m.), with another important game: its Sun Belt Conference opener in Boone’s Kidd Brewer Stadium against Coastal Carolina, which also has a P5 victory this season thanks to its 12-7 win at Kansas.
Coach Eliah Drinkwitz’s Mountaineers are unbeaten at 3-0 and coach Jamey Chadwell’s Coastal Carolina’s Chanticleers are 3-1.
The Chanticleers are coming off a 62-28 rout of UMass.
The game is officially sold out, as was the road win at 50,500-seat Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill, and Appalachian State’s 12 straight home wins are tied for the eighth-longest active streak in the nation.
