But after an up-and-down start to the season, the Mountaineers are looking to lock in for their conference slate. They'll open up Sun Belt play against South Alabama (7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN) with a 2-1 record, and hopes of recapturing their first conference title since 2019. To get here, App State has traveled a winding road.
By John C. Byrum, Harry Lyles Jr. Verified, Ryan McGee| ESPN India Verified The Week 0 matchup between Georgia Tech and Florida State at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland, is a neutral site game for everybody on both teams -- except for Yellow Jackets punter David Shanahan. Shanahan is from Castleisland, County Kerry, Ireland, and is believed to be the first Ireland native ever awarded a full scholarship to play American college football. On Aug. 24, he'll have the opportunity to play in his home country.
