The University of Michigan announced Thursday that in 2014 the Wolverines will open the season against Appalachian State, a team that beat them in what was one of college football’s all-time biggest upsets.
Back in 2007, which would be Lloyd Carr’s final season as head coach and a year in which the National Title was one everyone’s mind, Appalachian State came into the Big House and defeated then #5 Michigan 34-32 in front of a stunned Michigan fan base. The division I-AA school did it with the help of Mountaineers QB Armanti Edwards passing for 227 yards and three touchdown as well as rushing for 62 yards and another score.
