The Chattanooga Mocs are back in action following their bye-week when they travel to The Citadel this weekend.  The Mocs (2-2, 1-1 SoCon) are set to take on the Bulldogs (2-3, 0-2 SoCon) on Saturday, Oct. 9, at 2:00 p.m. (E.D.T) in Johnson Hagood Stadium in Charleston, S.C.

UTC has faced off against The Citadel a total of 43 times, more than any other team in school history.  Saturday's game is the 84th anniversary of the rivalry that began on Oct. 9, 1926, in Charleston. Chattanooga leads the series with a 25-16-2 advantage, but is just 9-11-1 in games played on the road.  The Mocs are trying to snap a three-game losing streak in Johnson Hagood Stadium.  Their last win at The Citadel was 34-31 on Nov. 9, 2002.

The Bulldogs came away with a 24-21 win on the Mocs' last trip to Charleston on Nov. 15, 2008.  UTC won last year's meeting, 31-28, on Nov. 14 in Finley Stadium, giving the Mocs their first winning season since 2005.  

ON THE AIR
Jim Reynolds, who is in his 31st season as the 'Voice of the Mocs', will have the call on the Mocs Sports Network.  Fans can tune into the flagship station, ESPN Radio 105.1 FM in Chattanooga, or listen online on Chattanooga All Access on GoMocs.com.  Todd Agne will provide the color commentary with Will Poindexter on the sidelines.  

PREVIEWING CHATTANOOGA
The Mocs are riding a two-game winning streak with victories over Eastern Kentucky and Western Carolina.  UTC had last week off, giving the team extra time to prepare for The Citadel's option attack.  This is the first of back-to-back games against option teams with Chattanooga hosting Georgia Southern on Homecoming on Oct. 16. 

UTC's run defense comes into the game ranked No. 9 in the nation, only allowing 89.0 yards per game.  The Mocs will be put to the test against the Bulldogs who are No. 7 in the FCS with 249.6 rushing yards per game.  

Junior LB Ryan Consiglio (Franklin, Tenn.), leads the team and is No. 3 in the SoCon with 10.8 tackles per game.  Fellow junior Chris Donald (Huntingdon, Tenn.) is tied for No. 6 in the nation with 4.5 sacks per game.  Freshman defensive back Kadeem Wise (Lawrenceville, Ga.) is tied for second in the country with four interceptions.  His four picks also tie the UTC freshman record. 

Junior QB B.J. Coleman (Chattanooga, Tenn.) leads the offensive attack, completing 62% (78-126) of his pass attempts.  He is No. 8 in the country and second in the SoCon with 280.8 yards in the air per game.   He also has 10 touchdown passes to go against three interceptions.  He is currently 7th in the nation with a 158.20 passing rating. 

Coleman's favorite target is his former high school teammate Joel Bradford (Chattanooga, Tenn.).  The junior receiver is leading the SoCon and No. 3 in the country with 126.5 receiving yards per game.  His 7.5 catches per game are second in the league and 10th in the nation. 

The ground game is led by the rejuvenated career of senior RB Erroll Wynn (Jonesboro, Ga.).  After sitting out 2009 as a redshirt, Wynn is currently second in the SoCon with 100 rushing yards per game. 

Mocs head coach Russ Huesman, the 2009 SoCon Coach of the Year, is in his second season at UTC.  He led the Mocs to their first winning season since 2005 with last year's 6-5 mark.  He has an overall record of 8-7 and is 5-4 in league games. 

PREVIEWING THE CITADEL
The Bulldogs are currently 2-3 on the year and 0-2 in SoCon action.  They fell to Western Carolina 23-13 in Charleston last weekend.  The Citadel is looking to snap a two-game slide, having also lost to Furman 31-14 on Sept. 25. 

Junior FB Terrell Dallas leads the Bulldog rushers and is No. 4 in the SoCon with 82.4 yards per game.  The Citadel is No. 7 in nation in rushing, averaging 249.6 yards per game. 

On the defensive side of the ball, the Bulldogs are 10th in the nation with 15 sacks and tied for ninth in the country with eight interceptions.  The Citadel has returned two picks for TDs in 2009.  Senior DE Eric Clanton is currently No. 5 in the country with 10.5 tackles-for-loss and third in the FCS with 6.5 sacks. 

Head coach Kevin Higgins is in his sixth season at The Citadel and has a 26-35 mark for the Bulldogs.  He is 82-60-1 in over 13 years as a head coach. 

QUICK NOTES TO KNOW ABOUT THE CITADEL GAME

• The Mocs are making their way back to full strength with the return of starters Adam Miller and Jordan Tippit to practice this week. Tippit, a junior DB, and Miller, a sophomore OL, have both been out with ankle injuries for the previous two games.
• The game will feature the Mocs' top-10 run defense against The Citadel's top-10 rushing offense. Chattanooga is currently ranked No. 9 in the FCS against the run, allowing 89.0 yards per game. The Bulldogs are averaging 249.6 rushing yards per game, ranking No. 7 in the FCS.
• The Mocs are looking for their second SoCon road win of the season. UTC has not had multiple league wins on the road since 1998. They have not won back-to-back SoCon road games since defeating The Citadel (7-6) and Marshall (29-23) in 1990.
• Junior WR Joel Bradford is currently leading the SoCon and No. 3 in the nation with 126.5 receiving yards per game. He broke the Mocs' school record with 254 receiving yards against EKU and is 10th in the country with 7.5 receptions per game.
• Bradford is also a dangerous punt returner, averaging 17.3 yards per return. That would lead the SoCon and rank No. 6 in the nation if he had enough returns to qualify for rankings.
• The Mocs are putting up 283 yards in the air on average this season, ranking second in the SoCon and No. 11 in the nation. The Citadel is second in the SoCon with eight interceptions and leads the league with 15 sacks.
• Senior RB Erroll Wynn has 506 career carries, the sixth Moc to top the 500-rushes mark in a career. He needs 35 more to pass Gwain Durden (1977-80) for 4th place all-time at UTC. He is currently 12th among active players in the NCAA for career carries.
• Senior OL T.J. Hurless (Suwanee, Ga.) has started the last 28 games of his career, the longest such streak on the team.
• Junior QB B.J. Coleman has thrown for 3,471 yards in his 15-game UTC career. He needs 362 more through the air to pass Antonio Miller (2004-07) for seventh all-time at UTC.
• Coleman is second in the SoCon and No. 8 in the nation with 281 passing yards per game. He is also No. 7 in the nation with a 150.2 passer rating.

A TALE OF TWO HALVES
The Mocs have outscored their four opponents 80-23 in the first half this season.  On average, Chattanooga has racked up 20 points and 242 yards of total offense by intermission in each of their first four games.  They have also forced seven turnovers on defense in the four first halves of the year. 

The second half has been a different story, with opponents holding an 85-47 lead on the scoreboard in the last two quarters.  Chattanooga has also been outscored 57-26 in the fourth quarter this season.

B.J. COLEMAN IS LIVING UP TO THE HYPE
Junior QB B.J. Coleman created quite a stir in the Scenic City when he announced his decision to transfer from Tennessee to Chattanooga in the summer of 2009.  The former high school standout at McCallie in Chattanooga was fourth in the SoCon in total offense (210.8/game) and third in passing yards (213.5/game) last season. 

His numbers are even more impressive when you consider he had thrown a total of eight competitive passes the previous two seasons.  His teammates have shown confidence in him by naming him one of three team captains and the league's coaches have pegged him a preseason Second Team All-SoCon selection in 2010.   He continues to impress in 2010 with:

• 23-37 passing for 340 yards against Appalachian State.
        - 5 TDs - three passing and two running - vs. ASU.
• 24-32 for a career-high 375 yards passing against Eastern Kentucky.
        - 4 TDs tied a career-high.
        - 3rd career 300-yard game...joins Chris Sanders (1999-00) as the only Mocs with 3+ 300-yard games.
• 78-126 (61.9%) for 1,123 yards, 10 TDs and three INTs on the year.
        - No. 7 in the nation with a 158.20 passing rating.
        - Second in the SoCon and is 8th in the NCAA, averaging 280.8 passing yards per game.
        - Third in the SoCon and No. 15 in the NCAA with 280.0 yards of total offense per game.
        - Third in the SoCon and No. 7 in the nation with a 158.2 passing rating. 
• 3,471 passing yards in his career.
       - Needs 362 more yards to pass Antonio Miller (2004-07) for 7th on the Mocs' all-time list.
• 11 200-yard passing games is T3rd on the Mocs' career list.
• 27 career TDs is No. 7 on the Mocs' single-season list.

WYNN RESURRECTING HIS CAREER
Senior RB Erroll Wynn saw his first action in nearly two years when he had 13 carries for 98 yards, all in the second half, at Jacksonville State.  He sat out the 2009 season as a redshirt and was held out of the ASU game.  He continues to impress with 300 yards on 46 carries this season.  He is currently second in the SoCon with 100 rushing yards per game.  Wynn's 506 career carries is 5th all time at UTC and ranks 12th among all active players in the FCS.  He is now No. 8 on the Mocs' career list with 2,104 rushing yards.  

MOCS HAVE TOP TWO ALL PURPOSE BACKS IN THE SOCON
Sophomore WR Brian Sutherland (Smyrna, Ga.) and junior WR Joel Bradford are first and second in the Southern Conference in all purpose yards per game.  Sutherland leads the league with 145.8 yards per game.  His total of 583 all purpose yards is made up of 114 rushing, 234 receiving and 235 on kick-off returns.  Bradford is second with 137.0 all purpose yards per game.  His total of 548 yards comes from -10 rushing, 506 receiving and 52 on punt returns.

BRADFORD HAVING A BREAKOUT SEASON
Junior WR Joel Bradford's move back to receiver from defensive back has paid huge dividends so far this season.  His school-record 254 yards receiving against Eastern Kentucky on Sept. 18 is the most in a game in the FCS this season.  Bradford currently leads the team, 2nd in the SoCon and 10th in the nation with 7.5 catches per game.  He also leads the SoCon and is No. 3 in the nation with 126.5 receiving yds/game.  Bradford is also a dangerous punt returner.  His 17.3 yds/punt return average would be No. 8 in the nation if he had enough returns to qualify for the rankings. 

WISE TIES HUESMAN'S FRESHMAN RECORD
Freshman DB Kadeem Wise (Lawrenceville, Ga.) was named the Southern Conference Freshman of the Week after picking off two passes at Western Carolina on Sept. 25.  He now has four interceptions for the season, tying UTC's freshman record set in 1978 by current head coach Russ Huesman.  Wise is the first Moc with multiple INTs in a game since Buster Skrine had two against Western Kentucky in 2007.  Wise is also tied for No. 2 in the nation with four INTs on the year. 

DONALD AMONG NATIONAL LEADERS IN SACKS
Junior DE Chris Donald (Huntingdon, Tenn.) did not come with the same hype as fellow junior B.J. Coleman did when he followed Coleman from Tennessee to Chattanooga.  Despite being the first 5-star prep player to come to UTC, Donald started slow in the spring.  He moved from linebacker to defensive line and is heating up.  He had a sack and forced a fumble against Appalachian State and then unloaded for 12 tackles at Jacksonville State.  He added another 2.5 sacks against EKU.  His 4.5 sacks on the year are tied for No. 6 in the nation. 

MOCS LEAD THE SOCON IN PICKS
UTC has intercepted three passes in each of the last three games, giving them nine on the season.  That leads the SoCon and ties for fifth in the nation. 

MOCS HAVE A TOP-10 RUSHING DEFENSE
Despite the fact that UTC has seen its defensive line decimated by injuries - juniors La'Nard Carr and De'Markus Lee have both missed multiple games while junior Nick Craig has played on an injured foot all year - the Mocs are still No. 9 in the nation and No. 2 in the SoCon in rushing defense.  After allowing 146 rushing yards in the season opener against Appalachian State, the Mocs have not allowed 100 yards on the ground since.  UTC gave up 96 yards to Jacksonville State, 58 to Eastern Kentucky and just 56 to Western Carolina.  The Mocs are allowing 89.0 yards rushing through four games this season, including just 71.3 yards in the last three games. 

VERES KICKING AGAIN THIS WEEK
Chattanooga was expecting to replace senior All-American PK Craig Camay with true freshman Nick Pollard (Nashville, Tenn.).  However, Pollard has been out with an injury, forcing sophomore WR Jeff Veres (Thompson's Station, Tenn.) to return to his old position.  Veres is 11-12 on PATs this season.  He made his first 11 of the year before missing the last one at WCU.  Junior Mike Hammons was handling all of the kicking duties, but returned to just punting where he is a preseason 2nd Team All-SoCon selection.   

RECEIVING VOTES
The Mocs are receiving votes in the Sports Network Top-25.  They garnered 93 votes this week and would be ranked No. 33 if the list was expanded.  The last time the Mocs were ranked was Nov. 3, 1997, when they were No. 23 in the Sports Network Top-25.

NOTES FROM THE WESTERN CAROLINA GAME

• UTC picked off three passes for the third game in a row...Mocs came into the game ranked third in the SoCon and No. 6 in the nation in interceptions.

• The win is the second SoCon road win under Head Coach Russ Huesman (14-7 at Samford on Oct. 10, 2009)...UTC had only had two SoCon road wins from 2006-08 and just six since 2000.
• UTC went 3-and-out on its first two possessions.

• Sophomore WR Brian Sutherland - Two catches for 69 yards...46-yard reception in the second quarter took the Mocs down to WCU's one-yard line, setting up Coleman's one-yard QB keeper and a 14-7 lead...it tied for Sutherland's longest reception of the season (ASU).
• Sophomore Jeff Veres - Made his first 11 PATs of his career before missing one in the 4th quarter tonight...is a receiver who has been pressed into kicking duties due to the injury to Nick Pollard.
• Freshman DB Kadeem Wise - Picked off his third and fourth passes of the season...tied the school record for INTs by a freshmen set by head coach Russ Huesman in 1978...first Mocs with multiple interceptions in a game since Buster Skrine had two against Western Kentucky on Nov. 3, 2007

BRADFORD GRABS FIRST CAREER POW HONORS...ALSO TAKES HOME NATIONAL RECOGNITION
Junior Joel Bradford reaped the weekly benefits of his record-breaking performance against Eastern Kentucky on Sept. 18.  He was the Southern Conference Offensive Player of the Week after setting a new UTC single-game mark with 254 receiving yards in the Mocs' 42-24 win over the Colonels.  Bradford recorded his first career 100-yard game before the end of the first quarter, thanks in large part to an 80-yard touchdown connection with junior QB B.J. Coleman.  That strike was the longest by a Moc since 1999 and just the eighth passing play of 80+ yards in school history.  Bradford's 254 receiving yards broke Chattanooga's previous high of 247 set by Alonzo Nix in a 59-56 win against Appalachian State on Oct. 30, 2004.  It is the most receiving yards in a game by anyone in the Football Championship Subdivision this season and the fifth most receiving yards in a game in SoCon history.  Bradford was also named the SoCon X-Factor of the Week by SouthernPigskin.com and one of four National Receivers of the Week by CollegeFootballPerformance.com.  Bradford shared the SoCon weekly honor with Furman senior Adam Mims. 

CONSIGLIO EARNS SECOND CAREER POW HONOR
Junior LB Ryan Consiglio grabbed his second career SoCon Player of the Week honor after a strong performance at Jacksonville State on Sept. 11.  Consiglio established a new career high with a game-high 14 tackles against the fifth-ranked Gamecocks.  He also added his second career interception and recorded 1.5 tackles for loss.

HAMMONS GRABS LEAGUE AND NATIONAL WEEKLY HONORS
Junior P Mike Hammons was named the SoCon Special Team Player of the Week and the College Football Performance Awards National Punter of the Week for his play at No. 5 Jacksonville State.  Hammons averaged 47.0 yards per punt for the Mocs in their second-straight game against a top-5 opponent.  He totaled 141 yards on three kicks and placed two inside the 5-yard line to pin Jacksonville State deep in its own end.  He also booted a 50-yard punt, the ninth of his career.

MOCS BREAK SEASON TICKET SALES RECORD AGAIN IN 2010
The Chattanooga Mocs broke the all-time season ticket mark at Finley Stadium on Wednesday, Sept. 1.  UTC topped the 2,527 sold in 2009 and finished with 2,676 sold for the year.  This is the fourth year UTC has topped the 2000-sold mark, including 2,003 in 1998 and 2,300 in 1997. 

SIX MOCS TABBED PRESEASON ALL-SOCON
Senior offensive tackle Chris Harr (Chattanooga, Tenn.) and cornerback Buster Skrine (Woodstock, Ga.) highlight the six Mocs all-conference selections.  They are first team picks as the six UTC players tie for third most in the league with Elon, Furman and Wofford.  App State leads the way with 13 followed by Elon with seven.  Junior quarterback B.J. Coleman heads four second teamers for the Mocs, but he is the only one on offense.  Sophomore defensive end Josh Williams (Griffin, Ga.) and junior linebacker Ryan Consiglio are the defensive selections.  Junior punter Mike Hammons being tabbed on the second team gives the Mocs coverage in all three phases of the game on preseason squads.

CEREBRAL BUNCH
The offensive line has a lot of academic honors among its ranks.  Sophomores Adam Miller, Dustin Tate and Austin Wilson were all on the 2009 Academic All-SoCon team.  Freshmen Irvin Hernandez and Steven Nease, sophomore Will Hewitt, senior T.J. Hurless and Miller made the Dean's List and were joined by senior Chris Harr, Tate and Wilson on the Athletics Director's Honor Roll.  Nease owns the highest g.p.a. on the team with a perfect 4.0.

TOP-15 CROWDS AT FINLEY STADIUM
Both of the Mocs' 2010 home crowds rank in the top-10 in Finley Stadium history.  The Mocs saw 15,235 fans spin the turnstiles at the WHITEOUT game against Appalachian State on Sept. 4.  That was the second largest crowd in Mocs history.  Another 10,543 came to the EKU game, ranking No. 7 on the list.  UTC's record crowd is 22,642 set against Tennessee State in the first game at Finley Stadium on Oct. 18, 1997.  The largest crowd to watch a football game at Finley is 23,010 when Appalachian State defeated Delaware 49-21 in the FCS National Championship game on Dec. 14, 2007. 

Six of the top-15 crowds in Finley Stadium history have been in the last two years.  UTC has reached the 10,000 mark nine times at Finley Stadium and four of those crowds have also come in the last two years.

Below are the top-15 attended Moc games at Finley Stadium:

IT'S ALL IN THE NAME
On first reference, it is acceptable to refer to us as the "University of Tennessee at Chattanooga".  After that, we prefer to be called "Chattanooga" or "UTC".  Our nickname is "Mocs".

MOCS PICKED 4TH BY THE SOCON MEDIA AND 5TH BY THE LEAGUE'S COACHES IN THE PRESEASON
The Mocs are picked to finish fourth by the media and fifth by the leagues other eight coaches - a coach is not allowed to vote for his own team.  Appalachian State is the overwhelming favorite in both sets of ballots.  The Mountaineers received seven of a possible eight first-place votes on the coaches' side while garnering 22 of 30 on the media side.  Elon is the second-place selection with the remaining two coaches' votes and six of the eight left over media top picks.  Furman is third on both sides but that's where the polls begin to differ in opinion.  On the media side Chattanooga is fourth followed by Wofford, Samford (one first on the media side), Georgia Southern, Western Carolina and The Citadel.  The coaches target Samford fourth with UTC, Wofford, Georgia Southern, The Citadel and Western Carolina rounding out the field.

TOUGHER SCHEDULE IN 2010
As the Mocs are improving, so is their slate of non-conference opponents.  Chattanooga posted wins over Division II Glenville State and a winless FCS team in Presbyterian in 2009.  They traded those two games with No. 5 Jacksonville State and Eastern Kentucky, picked to finish 3rd in the OVC in 2010. 

ROSTER, DEPTH CHART AND BREAKDOWNS
A complete roster is located on pages 10-11 of the .pdf version of the game notes.  There is a roster breakdown on page 12 and a list of the starters and letter winners returning and lost on page 13.  A two-deep chart can be found on pages 14-15. 

SEASON NO. 103
The Chattanooga Mocs are in their 103rd season of UTC football.  The University of Chattanooga was founded in 1886 and football began play in 1904.  No teams were fielded in 1917 and 1918 due to World War I.  There was also a two-year hiatus from football action during World War II in 1943 and 1944.  The Mocs have an all-time record of 457-471-32 (.492) and have won 10 conference titles.

CAPTAINS CHOSEN FOR 2010
Following the Spring Game, coach Huesman announced the captains for the 2010 season as voted on by the players.  Seniors Chris Harr and Buster Skrine and junior B.J. Coleman were chosen by their teammates to lead this year's team. 

STARTERS AND LETTER WINNERS RETURNING/LOST
The Mocs return a total of 41 lettermen from the 2009 campaign. There are 25 coming back on the offensive side of the ball, while 14 return on defense. Two specialists will also return for the 2010 season. There are 18 starters returning, including nine on offense, seven on defense and two on special teams.  See page 13 of the game notes for a full rundown on the starters and lettermen who are returning and lost from last season. 

HUESMAN, EHRENFELD ARE FORMER TEAMMATES OF THREE MOCS DADS
Head coach Russ Huesman and assistant coach Russ Ehrenfeld are both former Mocs football players.  Huesman played from 1978-81 while Ehrenfeld was a Moc from 1977-80.  Both of the Mocs coaches were teammates of Bryon Coleman (1977-80), who is the father of sophomore QB B.J. Coleman, Tim Dockery (1981-83), who is the father of freshman OL Hunter Dockery, and Mike Nease (1980-83), who is the father of freshman OL Steven Nease.  Nick Davison's father, Mark, was also a classmate of Huesman and Ehrenfeld at UTC, but he did not play football. 

MAJORITY OF THE MOCS ARE FROM TENNESSEE AND GEORGIA
Of the 87 members currently on the Mocs' roster, 78 list Tennessee (53) or Georgia (25) as their home state.  That means 89% of the roster is from Tennessee or Georgia, including 60% from Tennessee and 40% from Georgia. Three Mocs are from Florida and Alabama.  There is one representative each from California, North Carolina and Virginia.  Be sure to check out page 12 to see the breakdown of the hometowns and connections of the Mocs' roster. 

ASSISTANT COACHES WITH CHATTANOOGA TIES
Chattanooga head coach Russ Huesman has put together an impressive group of assistant coaches for the 2010 season.  Not only are the assistants very experienced college football coaches, but many of them posses ties to UTC and Chattanooga.  A UTC letterman himself, Huesman brought in former lettermen Russ Ehrenfeld (1977-80) and Tony Coode (1998-00) last season.  This year, former Mocs Geep Wade (1999-01) and Jimmy Lindsey (1996-99) also join the staff.  Offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield was a graduate assistant at UTC from 1999-00 and the receivers coach in 2001.  Offensive assistant Will Healy is a Chattanooga native and all-state quarterback at Boyd-Buchanan High School.

HUESMAN'S CONNECTION TO THE SUPER BOWL CHAMPION SAINTS
UTC head coach Russ Huesman has strong ties to the 2010 Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints.  During his time at William & Mary, he recruited and coached Saints safety Darren Sharper.  A two-time All-American for the Tribe, Sharper was the Yankee Conference Defensive Player of the Year as a senior.  Also on that squad were Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin and Philadelphia Eagles Defensive Coordinator Sean McDermott.
