Louisiana-Lafayette beat Appalachian State for a second time during the 2021 season Saturday-both on the former’s home field-and the latter in the Sun Belt Conference Championship game by a 24-16 tally.
The Mountaineers (10-3), who won the Sun Belt’s East Division, will learn their bowl destination Sunday. Appalachian State has won bowl games in all six of its seasons since moving to the Football Bowl Subdivision (Major Level).
This also marks the fifth time in seven seasons that the Mountaineers have won 10 or more games.
The Ragin’ Cajuns (12-1) have won 12 straight since a season-opening loss to Texas, including an October 12 win (41-13) over Appalachian State.
