That’s right friends, we have burned off September completely and as such, we come running into the warm embrace of weeknight mid-major football. The MAC is showing some restraint and waiting until November to allow us to indulge, but the Sun Belt has stepped up in their place and brought us one hell of an offering to start the midweek football season.
Appalachian State is the market inefficiency according to S&P+, where the Mountaineers are ranked TWELFTH (12th) due to a 13th ranked offense and 41st ranked defense and special teams. Of course, those numbers are bolstered by a close loss to Penn State, a cancelled game against Southern Miss, a pair of beatdowns to Charlotte and Gardner-Webb, 45-9 and 72-7.
