ORLANDO, Fla. — A season that began with up-and-down results gave way to a division-clinching run of success and closes with an opportunity to secure a ring-worthy bowl victory.
Champions of the Sun Belt Conference's East Division, App State will face MAC champion Miami (Ohio) on Saturday in the Avocados from Mexico Cure Bowl at UCF's FBC Mortgage Stadium in Orlando. The game, which will be televised by ABC and kick off — likely in rainy conditions — at 3:30 p.m., will be the first football meeting between App State (8-5) and the RedHawks (11-2).
