Their 2012 Record: The Mountaineers were 8-4 overall in 2012 and 6-2 in the SoCon which was good enough for a first place tie with Georgia Southern
Strengths: The Mountaineer offense returns 10 of 11 starters from 2012.
Weaknesses/Losses: A new head coach, replacing the legendary Jerry Moore will roam the ASU sidlines, however, new HC Satterfield is not a stranger to ASU football, as he as 17 years as a player and coach at App State, but, he's unproven as a head coach. Appy lost 5 starters off their defense from last season, RB Steven Miller, LB Brandon Grier, LB Jeremy Kimbrough, S Troy Sanders, CB Jamill Lott, CB Demetrius McCray
