BOONE, N.C. – App State (5-2, 3-0 Sun Belt) gets their biggest rival in the national spotlight on Thursday night. The Mountaineers head south to Statesboro, Ga. to face rival Georgia Southern (4-3, 2-1) at Paulson Stadium. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. on ESPNU.
Neither team will be working off of ample prep time or a full week of preparation heading into Thursday night's game. The Apps travel on Wednesday, four days after dispatching Idaho to open Sun Belt play with a third consecutive win. Georgia Southern flew back from their 22-19 win at New Mexico State on Sunday.
