Hall of Fame
Roger Catarino was a talented signal caller for the Mocs from 1965-68. He graduated with a number of passing and offensive records at UTC.
Catarino took over the starting quarterback position late in the 1966 season when Don Shaver went down with an injury. He threw four, second-half scoring strikes in a 27-17 comeback win over Austin Peay in the season finale. Three of those four passes came in the fourth quarter and sparked a great career at UTC.
Catarino was 17-8 as a starting QB. That mark stood until Steve Woods topped it in 1981 and is still No. 3 for wins all-time at Chattanooga.
He was 201-360 for 2,801 yards and 17 TDs in his career. He set school records with 1,273 yards on 93-173 as a junior in 1967. He also set the total yards record with 1,500 that season. He was having an outstanding senior year in 1968 before suffering a season-ending injury.
