The Appalachian State Mountaineers proved that all the pre-game hype about a colossal battle of evenly matched teams in Saturday’s showdown against Troy was without substance.
Appalachian State (9-2 over-all; 7-1 conference) thoroughly dominated Troy, 21-10, in a game not as close as the score may indicate to claim the Sun Belt Conference’s East Division title. The win at Boone’s Kidd Brewer Stadium gave the Mountaineers the right to host the league’s inaugural championship game next Saturday, Dec. 1 at 12:00 noon. They will face the West Division winner, Louisiana-Lafayette.
It will be the second time the teams have played this season.
