Black Saturday Preview: App State Faces Unbeaten JMU

BOONE, N.C. — Mousetraps. Meatballs. Another Miracle.

Next up: JMU.

ESPN College GameDay's visit to App State and the subsequent Hail Mary victory against Troy, dubbed "Miracle on the Mountain: Part 2" during Adam Witten's radio call, with WASU student broadcaster Jeffrey Marchin enthusiastically yelling, "Holy Mother Meatballs" on his call, made for a High Country day to never forget. That win capped a week with visible "Don't Take the Cheese" messaging to a team riding high from beating No. 6 Texas A&M.

That was last Saturday.

This is Black Saturday.

A crazy September for the Mountaineers (2-1, 1-0) continues with another home game, this one against FBS newcomer James Madison (2-0, 0-0).
