Today's matchup between No. 6 Elon and No. 7/8 Appalachian State is one of the biggest in conference history. In case we need a reminder of what the magnitude of today’s game is:

-          The winner of today’s game will earn the Southern Conference’s automatic bid to the FCS playoffs. The winner will clinch at least a share of the SoCon title.

-          Only time that two 6-0 teams have met this late in the season.

-          Elon has not defeated Appalachian State since 1964.

-          Appalachian State comes into the game with an 18-game SoCon winning streak.

-          Last year’s 24-16 Appalachian State victory was the closest game in the season since the 1971.

-          It is the matchup of the nation’s No. 1 offense with ASU having 491.8 ypg versus the nation’s No. 1 defense in EU with 213.1 ypg.
