The Mountaineers have moved up two spots in the Amway Coaches Poll to No. 20 and moved up one spot in the Associated Press Top 25 poll to No. 20.

This is the third consecutive week the Mountaineers have been ranked in the Top 25 in both polls.

App State (7-0 overall, 4-0 Sun Belt) is coming off a dominating defensive performance that held South Alabama to 3 points and 139 total yards.

The defense has allowed only 17 points and the Mountaineer offense has scored 99 points in the past three games. The Mountaineer offensive yards allowed has decreased each of the past six games.

The No. 20 Mountaineers are back in action at Kidd Brewer Stadium on Oct. 31 against Georgia Southern (5-2 overall, 2-1 Sun Belt) at 8 p.m. The game will be aired on ESPNU.

Our Goal

We hope you appreciate this article! Before you move on, our student staff wanted to ask if you would consider supporting The Appalachian's award-winning journalism. We are celebrating our 90th anniversary of The Appalachian in 2024!

We receive funding from the university, which helps us to compensate our students for the work they do for The Appalachian. However, the bulk of our operational expenses — from printing and website hosting to training and entering our work into competitions — is dependent upon advertising revenue and donations. We cannot exist without the financial and educational support of our fellow departments on campus, our local and regional businesses, and donations of money and time from alumni, parents, subscribers and friends.

Our journalism is produced to serve the public interest, both on campus and within the community. From anywhere in the world, readers can access our paywall-free journalism, through our website, through our email newsletter, and through our social media channels. Our supporters help to keep us editorially independent, user-friendly, and accessible to everyone.

If you can, please consider supporting us with a financial gift from $10. We appreciate your consideration and support of student journalism at Appalachian State University. If you prefer to make a tax-deductible donation, or if you would prefer to make a recurring monthly gift, please give to The Appalachian Student News Fund through the university here: https://securelb.imodules.com/s/1727/cg20/form.aspx?sid=1727&gid=2&pgid=392&cid=1011&dids=418.15&bledit=1&sort=1.
