Texas State (2-3, 0-1) is looking to shake up the Sun Belt Saturday.
The Bobcats are coming off a 40-13 loss in Harrisonburg, Va., to James Madison, and it won’t get any easier when they face off with Appalachian State (3-2, 1-1) on Oct. 8. The Mountaineers were up 28-3 against James Madison in week four, and then the Dukes mounted a colossal 29-point comeback to win 32-28. Regardless of the second-half woes for the Mountaineers, they had much more success against JMU than the maroon and gold.
The transitive wins property doesn’t always tell the whole story in college football, but Appalachian State also has a giant 17-14 win in College Station over Texas A&M on their resume. They also took North Carolina to the wire in a 63-61 thriller against the Tar Heels, giving them one of the best resumes in the group of five.
