BOONE, N.C. — Welcome (back) to The Rock.
Done with a three-game road swing, Appalachian State will play its first home game in nearly a month with a lot on the line. If the Mountaineers (7-2, 5-1) defeat Georgia State (2-8, 1-5) on Black Saturday in Kidd Brewer Stadium, they would be in position to host the inaugural Sun Belt Conference Championship Game with a home win against Troy in the Nov. 24 regular season finale.
App State is moving forward from a trip to Texas State and a 38-7 victory that kept it in contention for a third straight conference title.
