LAFAYETTE, La. — The last meeting came with championship stakes.
When Appalachian State plays at Louisiana on Wednesday night, the outcome will shape the rest of the Sun Belt Conference race in 2019.
The Mountaineers and Ragin' Cajuns won the league's East and West division titles last year, with App State claiming a 30-19 victory during the inaugural Sun Belt Championship Game held in Boone.
App State (4-0, 1-0) is one of four unbeaten Group of Five teams left at the FBS level this year, and the only blemish for Louisiana (4-1, 1-0) is a 38-28 loss to Mississippi State.
