CLEMSON, S.C. — From Howard's Rock, they run down The Hill.
At App State, it's often about uphill battles, whether that's the preseason test of climbing Howard's Knob or overcoming long odds to beat bigger opponents from bigger leagues.
The next high-profile challenge awaits Saturday night, with travel from one Rock to another, as the Mountaineers (1-0) face Clemson (0-1) in 81,500-seat Memorial Stadium. The Tigers are ranked No. 22 in this week's Coaches Poll and No. 25 in the AP Top 25 in advance of the 8 p.m. matchup being televised by the ACC Network.
