Appalachian State’s football team returns to Sun Belt Conference play when it faces New Mexico State on Saturday in the first league game at Kidd Brewer Stadium in 2017.
Kickoff for the homecoming matchup is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. on ESPN3.
Here’s a closer look at the Aggies:
App State won 37-7 in Las Cruces, N.M., last season, when Taylor Lamb accounted for 291 total yards and Jalin Moore rushed for 111, but standout quarterback Tyler Rogers and several key offensive linemen didn’t play for New Mexico State because of injuries.
With Rogers ranking among the national passing leaders this year, the Aggies (2-3, 0-1) will bring a much-improved team to Boone to take on the Mountaineers (2-2, 1-0).
