BOONE, N.C. — Another sellout awaits the next installment of another compelling in-state series, with more history being made at The Rock.
For the first time since 1979, East Carolina is traveling west to Boone to face the Mountaineers (1-1). Kickoff in Kidd Brewer Stadium against the Pirates (0-2) is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, and a sellout crowd approaching or surpassing 40,000 is expected.
After drawing 36,075 fans for the home opener against Gardner-Webb and playing a double-overtime thriller at No. 17 North Carolina in a sold-out Kenan Stadium last weekend, App State faces a third straight in-state opponent.
