Appalachian State (1-1) vs Elon (1-1) Game Preview
Why Elon Will Win
The Phoenix can throw a bit.
The passing game worked well in the opening week loss to Wofford, and Davis Cheek had a strong game in the win against Campbell. Against the Mountaineers, the running attack isn’t going to be enough; he’s going to have to push the ball deep a wee bit.

The defense is good, the running game is better, and this is over just after halftime.
