The Coastal Carolina – Appalachian State football rivalry is an American college football rivalry that is fairly young, the first meeting was in 2005, but did not really become intense until Coastal Carolina’s ascension to the Sun Belt Conference in 2017.

History[edit]

The second meeting in this series occurred in 2006. This was just Coastal's third season of football, and was their first playoff matchup. It occurred on November 25, 2006. App St jumped out to a 31-0 lead just before the half, and would end up winning the game comfortably 45-28[1]

Appalachian State would win the first six meetings, finally losing to Coastal in 2020 in Conway, SC. At the time Coastal was ranked 15th in the US in the AP Poll.[2]

The 2021 meeting saw Appalachian State knock off the 14th ranked Chanticleers in Boone, NC. Fans stormed the field following a walk off 24 yard field goal in front of a crowd of 31,061 from Chandler Staton.[3]

In 2022 Coastal Carolina would beat Appalachian State for the first time in front of a full crowd. The students would end up rushing the field, and a few were injured following the game that year.[4]

After the 2023 meeting in Boone, NC, App St fans threw beers on the field following their team's 24-27 loss by field goal as time expired.[5] App State would later denounce the actions of their students.[6]
