The program
Overview
Appalachian State won three straight FCS national titles from 2005 to 2007 and stunned No. 5 Michigan in 2007 in one of the sport's greatest upsets. After moving to FBS and the Sun Belt in 2014, the Mountaineers quickly became one of the conference's dominant programs. Kidd Brewer Stadium is known as 'The Rock.'
