The Mountaineers are coming off a heartbreaking loss in Miami and turning their focus to the Elon Phoenix. Members of the Colonial Athletic Association, Elon is 1-1 on the season with a win against Campbell, who App State throttled 52-21 last season. This is the home opener for the Mountaineers, where a sold-out crowd in Kidd Brewer Stadium awaits.
“We’ve turned our focus now on Elon. This is the biggest game in school history in my opinion and again to get a chance to come back to The Rock with a sold out crowd, and we’re looking forward to it,” App State head coach Shawn Clark said.
