MOBILE, Ala. — Appalachian State head coach
Scott Satterfield, senior quarterback
Taylor Lamb and senior linebacker
Eric Boggs appeared in Mobile on Wednesday for a press conference 17 days before the Dollar General Bowl, which will pit the Mountaineers (8-4) against Toledo (11-2).
Kickoff for the Dec. 23 game at Ladd-Peebles Stadium is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET on ESPN.
"The last two years we've been to Alabama, but not here at this bowl game, so we're excited to come down here and play in the Dollar General Bowl against a great football team," Satterfield said. "Obviously, we have a lot of respect for the University of Toledo and Coach (Jason) Candle, his staff, his players and what they've been able to accomplish this year. What an incredible year they've had."
The Dollar General Bowl will be a rematch of last year's back-and-forth Camellia Bowl, which the Mountaineers won 31-28. App State never trailed, four times taking a seven-point lead, only to see Toledo tie the score in each instance.
Michael Rubino kicked a 39-yard field goal with 5:14 left to break the final tie.
