Moments like these are why we watch the games, and why the players and coaches work as hard as they do. They all aspire to participate in a game that might give them another week to play. That is exactly what is in front of Arkansas State and Appalachian State this weekend. One teams wins and likely is selected to play a in bowl game, that will deem their efforts leading up and through this season as a success. That is especially true for the Mountaineers, who are looking to return to the bowl season after missing out last season. A seven in the loss column makes the offseason much more difficult, longer and only intensifies the pressure on that coaching staff to get better the following season. The road to six wins is never an easy one. I doubt we expected that App State would need the last game of the season to get there. Especially not after a four game losing streak. Saturday sets the table for next year, whether there is a 13th game or not.
