BOONE, N.C. – It’s been an impressive – almost historic – two weeks for the Appalachian State (4-2, 2-0 Sun Belt) defense in sparking the Mountaineers to a 2-0 start in Sun Belt play. They’ll try to keep rolling on Saturday when the Apps welcome Idaho (4-3, 2-1 Sun Belt) to Kidd Brewer Stadium. Kickoff is at 3:30 p.m. on ESPN3.
Whether you go back to 1998 when App last posted back-to-back shutouts, or to 2002 when North Texas allowed all of two points over three Sun Belt games, App’s defensive numbers are putting record books to heavy use and making things more than a little tough on opponents to open league play.
