WHAT TO WATCH FOR
Are the Mountaineers back? After some lackluster seasons over the last few years, App State is 2-0 after beating ECU for the fourth straight time. Are they back, or do they just look better due to the competition (a solid FCS school and ECU - enough said)? It remains to be seen, but the Mountaineers are looking good, and a big part of that is the play of quarterback Malachi Singleton. The QB1 has completed 42 of 52 passes for 558 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. That ball-security edge could matter Saturday. Watch whether App State’s so-far stingy defense (13.5 points allowed per game) can pressure Charlotte’s Cole Gonzales, who has thrown three interceptions in two games. It’s always fun when an in-state rival comes to town, so get ready for a good game!
