The highly-anticipated in-state football showdown between UNC and Appalachian State on Saturday, Sept. 21 will begin at 3:30 p.m.

That game is sold out at Kenan Stadium, but will be televised on Fox Sports Carolinas and broadcast live on WCHL.

This will be the first meeting between the two programs since 1940, and just the second overall.
