When Appalachian State has the ball: When Appalachian State has the ball, the Mountaineers must account for Arkansas State Rolland-Jones, who has six sacks this season, which leads the Sun Belt Conference. Arkansas State linebacker Blake Dees is tied for third in the conference with 63 tackles, including 38 solo.
Mountaineers offensive tackle Beau Nunn was upgraded to probable after missing the Troy game with an injury. Marcus Cox will lead the Mountaineers’ running game against an Arkansas State defense that is sixth in the conference overall, giving up 403.9 yards per game, but just 150.9 yards rushing.
When Arkansas State has the ball: When Arkansas State has the ball, quarterback Fredi Knighten returns to full health after missing two games because of an injury in the Red Wolves’ game against Missouri. Knighten is a dangerous runner, which presents the
