BOONE, N.C. – Appalachian State (1-2) treks toward the banks of Lake Erie on Saturday for a 3:30 p.m. kickoff at Akron (2-1) in what is likely to be a pair of conference championship contenders come November. American Sports Network and ESPN3 will carry the game.
Both teams entered 2016 off of historic bowl wins and have already experienced their share of highs and lows through just three weeks of the season. App State hopes to dust off last weekend’s loss to Miami and revert back to the form that had it in the receiving votes column of the Coaches’ Poll following a 31-7 win over Old Dominion on Sept.
