“This has been an unforgettable week for App State,” said Chancellor Sheri Everts. “After our football team won a tremendously important game against Texas A&M, College GameDay decided to broadcast from our campus for the very first time.”
Appalachian State has been getting lots of attention lately. Known as college football’s “Giant Killer”, the Mountaineers beat Texas A&M on the road on September 10th by a score of 17-14. Winning in College Station is no easy feat. The stadium is known for the “12th man.”
There is some history for the Mountaineers beating larger schools. App State beat South Carolina in 2019. The game that started it all was in 2007. They beat Michigan 34-32.
By the way, the magic continued on Saturday night, beating Troy. They did it with a Hail Mary pass.
