Scanning the SoCon's preview of Appalachian State

             Appalachian State Preview: Time To Compete

The 2013-14 Appalachian State Mountaineers are a team that will have more expectations and more hopes this season than before.

With how the season ended on an uptick last March, there will be the hope that the team can pick up the school after the drop off this fall on the gridiron.

There's also the ever-present cloud of Jason Capel's contract being up after this season. With a 44-49 record in three years to go along with falling APR scores, constant turnover and the Sun Belt move upcoming, there's an uphill battle for this coaching staff.

However, there are factors that will play in their favor such as a core returning unit, a favorable schedule, a strong freshman coming in and Capel's improving coaching abilities that could help this team surprise some people.
