After a spirited workout Tuesday morning, the Chattanooga football team will add a little flavor to its Wednesday practice.  After a couple of days in shorts with helmets and shoulder pads, the Mocs will be in full pads tomorrow.

“You'll hear it,” said head coach Russ Huesman.  “It's just a different feeling to it…the excitement level grows.  The players will be hyped up about being in full pads, but we will continue to work in the same environment.”

Be sure to check out the video highlights and an interview with Huesman which is available at the top of the page, along with a photo album from today's action.

The Mocs kick-off the 2009 season with their home opener against Glenville State on Thursday, Sept. 3, at 7 p.m. (E.D.T.) at Finley Stadium.  Season tickets begin at $22 for youth, alumni, faculty and staff and can be purchased at the UTC Ticket Office – (423) 266-MOCS (6627) – or online at GoMocs.com by clicking here.
