With anticipation building in the 1,000-plus days since the game date was first announced, Appalachian State and Wake Forest finally have a set kickoff time and broadcast channel.
The non-conference football game between the Mountaineers and Deacons in Kidd Brewer Stadium on Sept. 23 will begin at 3:30 p.m. and be broadcast on ESPN3, the Sun Belt Conference announced Monday afternoon. With broadcast appeal in mind, the times and channels for many college football games are set 12 days in advance.
The agreement to resume the App State-Wake Forest series was announced in October 2014. The 23rd meeting between two programs separated by only 89 miles will be the first time the Demon Deacons have played football in Boone.
