BOONE, N.C. — An unofficial homecoming for several Appalachian State players occurs a week before the 2018 home opener.
App State hits the road again this weekend, as the Mountaineers (0-1) will play at Charlotte (1-0) on Saturday at 6 p.m. in a sold-out Richardson Stadium. The first football meeting between two in-state, FBS schools separated by less than two hours, with a pair of sixth-year head coaches in Scott Satterfield and Brad Lambert, will be shown on ESPN+.
The Charlotte metro region represents the largest alumni base for Appalachian State, and App State's roster includes 12 players who attended a high school in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County or a county adjacent to Mecklenburg.
