App State head coach Eliah Drinkwitz speaks postgame after the Mountaineers beat UNC 34-31 in Chapel Hill on Sept. 21.
App State football is preparing for its Sun Belt Championship matchup against Louisiana on Saturday. Last Friday, the Mountaineers defeated Troy 48-13 which put their final regular season record at 11-1 — the best record since joining the FBS in 2014. On Saturday, Louisiana secured their 10th win of the season with a 31-30 win over ULM, making the Sun Belt championship game the first matchup between two 10-win teams in conference history.
This is the second time App State and Louisiana will play this season, but head coach Eliah Drinkwitz isn’t focused on the last time these two teams played when App State defeated Louisiana 17-7 on Oct.
