Mountaineers welcome Dukes in their Sun Belt Conference debut

App State football prepares for another tough Sun Belt battle, hosting James Madison Saturday in Kidd Brewer Stadium.

After squeaking past Troy with a last second Hail Mary, the Black and Gold look ahead to their Black Saturday matchup against James Madison. The Mountaineers have had some tough battles with the Dukes in the past, a team that enters week four coming off a bye week.

The most noticeable matchup came in 2007, when a forced fumble with only 22 seconds left led the Mountaineers to shock the Dukes 28-27 in Kidd Brewer Stadium. The Dukes got their revenge the following season with a 21-point second half comeback to win 35-32.
