Appalachian State was dominant in 2018.
The Mountaineers had two losses all season. The team fell 45-38 in overtime at No. 10 Penn State in its season opener on Sept. 1, 2018, and 34-14 at Georgia Southern on Oct. 25, 2018, against the Eagles’ triple option offense — one of the toughest to prepare for in the Sun Belt.
Aside from those two games, App State flattened everyone in its path, with an average margin of 21.6 points. Texas State was no match when it squared off with the team on Nov. 10, 2018, losing 38-7 inside Bobcat Stadium. The Mountaineers finished the season 11-2, with wins at the Sun Belt Conference Championship Game and the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl.
