This Sun Belt matchup will see the Texas State Bobcats travel to Boone to take on the Appalachian State Mountaineers.
Note that Texas State has never beaten App State in three meetings. The Mountaineers won last years game 38-7.
Texas State Bobcats
The Bobcats have had a miserable season and just got rocked by Troy last week 63-27. They have nothing to play for expect they can be a spoiler by upsetting the Mountaineers.
Texas State’s offense has not been good at all, yet they still have the 56th best passing attack in the country. This is nothing to show off about, but at least there are signs that they can move the ball. Passing the football is about the only thing they do well as their rushing attack ranks 126th in the country. They only average 83 yards per game on the ground, which has put all the pressure on the quarterback.
They are also not putting up enough points, averaging just 18.7 per game. This ranks 119th in the country. Especially against a team like App State, they must find a way to score more than this average.
Their offense has improved ever so slightly against Sun Belt teams, and they are averaging 20.8 points per game.

Defensively, the Bobcats cannot stop anyone. Especially on the ground where they give up an average of 209.8 yards per game. I will give them credit for a solid secondary as they allow 204.6 passing yards per game. This ranks 34th in the country and has been the only highlight for their defense.
Appalachian State Mountaineers
App State continues to roll through their schedule and if not for a small slip up on Halloween to Georgia Southern, they would have a real shot to go undefeated. Last week the Mountaineers crushed Georgia State 56-27 and they will be looking to clinch their spot in the Sun Belt title game.
The Mountaineers offense is extremely solid this season and it starts with the ground game. They enter this contest averaging 223.8 rushing yards per game. This gives them the 18th best rushing attack in the country. Their top running back is Darrynton Evans, who leads the team with 1,014 yards and 14 touchdowns.
Luckily for App State, the Bobcats have a horrible rush defense and I look for the Mountaineers to have another big game running the football.

The App State defense is another huge reason why they are having so much success. They defend the pass exceptionally well, allowing an average of 178.4 yards per game and ranking 11th in the country.
Their rush defense has not been great, yet they still sit inside the top half of the country at 59th. Lucky for them, the Bobcats cannot run the ball, so the Mountaineers are likely going to have a ton of success.
Lastly, it is rare that a team can run up the score on this defense. They have allowed more than 30 points three times this season, but since allowing 37 to Coastal Carolina, they have allowed an average of 13.8 over their last six games.

I believe App State is going to run the ball down the throat of Texas State and they are going to have no answer. I do look for App State to do majority of the scoring, but the Bobcats have shown some ability to throw the ball, so I like the over in this game.
