App State football released its schedule for the 2021 season. The slate is highlighted by two games in NFL stadiums, a home rematch against former Southern Conference rival Marshall and a date with Georgia Southern on Senior Day Saturday at The Rock.
The Mountaineers kick off their season Sept. 2 against in-state opponent East Carolina at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, home of the Carolina Panthers. Next week, the Mountaineers head to Miami Gardens, Florida to take on the Miami Hurricanes at Hard Rock Stadium, where Super Bowl LIV was played in 2019.
“Playing in NFL stadiums each of the first two weeks of the season is a big deal for our players,” head coach Shawn Clark said.
