For the third consecutive year, the App State football team is bowl bound, this time to the Dollar General Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, where they will rematch their opponent from the 2016 Raycom Media Camellia Bowl, the Toledo Rockets. The bid was announced on Sunday afternoon, and it will be played on Dec. 23 and televised on ESPN.
“This is an exciting opportunity for Appalachian State University,” Director of Athletics Doug Gillin said. “We’re proud of what our student-athletes, coaches and staff have accomplished as co-champions of the Sun Belt Conference, and this is a deserved reward for their hard work and dedication.
