OUTLOOK
East Tennessee State is a young team with a lot of potential. The Buccaneers have a talented offense led by Riddell, Saylors, and Holmes. However, the defense struggled last season and will need to improve in order for the Buccaneers to be successful this year.
Appalachian State is a more experienced team and is the favorite to win this game. The Mountaineers have a strong offense and defense and are looking to make a run at the Sun Belt Conference championship this season.
