It appears the AP Top 25 wasn’t the only thing Appalachian State shook up after its shocking upset of Texas A&M last weekend.
App State’s 17–14 victory thrusted the formidable Sun Belt program into the national spotlight, and paved the way for the school to welcome ESPN’s College Gameday for the first time in its history. As it turns out, the Mountaineers’ emphatic win proved to be the deciding factor behind the popular program’s trip to Boone, NC, according to GameDay host Rece Davis.
Speaking with reporters on Friday, the longtime ESPN personality revealed, per WXII’s Louie Tran, the show decided to pivot and cover App State’s game against Troy on Saturday.
