HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — App State and Marshall are facing each other for the third straight season, but this throwback matchup has received a modern-day makeover now that they're Sun Belt Conference counterparts.
Squaring off in a league game for the first time since 1996, the Mountaineers and Thundering Herd will meet Saturday at 3:30 p.m. in Joan C. Edwards Stadium. The game will be streamed on ESPN+.
Longtime App State fans can recall the intense rivalry with Marshall from their time together in the FCS-level Southern Conference from 1977-96, with both teams being ranked in eight of their last 13 meetings during that time period.
