Â
Both teams entered the 2017 campaign with high hopes and a national ranking, and both are now trying to stop three-game losing skids. The Mocs started the year at No. 13 in the country, but are trying to right a 1-6 overall record and 1-3 mark in SoCon action.Â
Â
The Bulldogs came into the season ranked No. 12 in the FCS Coaches Poll and ran out to a 3-0 start. Since then, they have dropped three-straight and are 1-3 in league action.Â
Â
Chattanooga has been hit hard by injuries this season, having lost its top two quarterbacks for an extended period of time. True freshman
Cole Copeland has started the last two games, setting freshman records with 317 passing yards and 30 completions on 42 attempts against Furman. He is 52-81 (64.2%) for 523 yards, two touchdowns and five interceptions in two games.Â
Â
Chattanooga's defense is currently third in the SoCon in passing yards allowed (183.7). However, the Mocs are fifth in rushing defense (163.4) and fourth in the league in total defense (347.1). On offense, the Mocs are eighth in the SoCon in scoring (18.1 ppg) and total yards (261.3).  Â
Â
Turnovers have been a killer this season with Chattanooga sitting at -10 in that margin. The Mocs have not caused a turnover in the last three games, while committing eight.
Â
The Citadel currently leads the league in rushing and is No. 5 in the FCS, posting 293.5 yards per game with a triple-option attack. Offensively, the Bulldogs are fourth in the SoCon at 402.2 ypg. Defensively, they are tied for second in points allowed (20.8) and second in the SoCon in yards allowed (298.7). The Bulldogs are coming off a 20-16 loss to No. 5 Wofford last weekend.     Â

MORE ON THE QB SITUATION
Senior QB
Alejandro Bennifield started against Western Carolina after sitting out the first four games due to an NCAA Academic Suspension. The preseason All-SoCon pick was knocked out of the game in the first quarter and did not return. He did not play against Furman and his status for the Mercer game is still unknown.Â
Â
Sophomore
Nick Tiano, who played the first four games of the season, stepped back in, but was injured early in the fourth quarter against Western Carolina. He did not play against Furman or Mercer and his status for The Citadel game is also unknown. Freshman
Dominic Caldwell came in for the final three drives against Western Carolina, tossing a TD pass to
Darrell Bridges for UTC's only score of the game. The transfer from Florida International was 1-2 with the six-yard score.Â
Â
During Bennifield's suspension, freshman
Cole Copeland was listed as the No. 2 QB on the depth chart, but he was also attempting to redshirt. The former two-star prep prospect from Bradley Central High School in Cleveland, Tenn., started against Furman and set UTC freshman records with 317 yards on 30/42 passing with two touchdowns and four interceptions. He followed that with 206 yards and a pick on 22/39 passing at Mercer.  Â
MORE ON COLE COPELAND'S DEBUT
Copeland was the first freshman to start a game at QB for the Mocs since Jacob Huesman vs. Elon (W, 24-17) on Nov. 17, 2012. He was also the first true freshman to play at QB for the Mocs since Antonio Miller in 2004 and the first true freshmen to start at QB for the Mocs since Brian Hampton in a 21-23 loss to Furman on Nov. 18, 1995, on Chamberlain Field. Hampton won his first start that season, 29-24 over The Citadel on Nov. 4, 1995. Copeland's first pass was a seven-yard completion to
Alphonso Stewart and he went on to complete his first eight. His 317 passing yards were the most by a Moc since Jacob Huesman had 335 at No. 1 New Hampshire on Dec. 12, 2014.
Â
WARREN BACK IN THE LINEUP
Senior LB
Dale Warren returnd to the lineup for the first time, recording seven tackles at Mercer. He sat out the first six games of the season due to an NCAA suspension. The preseason All-American led the SoCon with 19.0 TFLs last season.Â
Â
WEBB SCORING ON DEFENSE
Senior DB
Lucas Webb scored on a 28-yard fumble return at VMI. It was the fourth defensive score of his career, which is now second in SoCon history. Furman's Ryan Steed has the record with three pick-sixes and two fumble returns for a TD from 2008-11. Webb and Steed and both tied with four others with the most pick-sixes in SoCon history.Â

Â
CITADEL-UTC RIVALRY IS A HOT ONE
This is turning into one of the more heated rivalries in the league over the last few meetings. UTC has won six of eight since 2009, but five of the last six encounters have been battles.
Â
Last year, the Mocs only gave up two touchdowns in a 22-14 loss to the eighth-ranked Bulldogs. The Mocs were held to just 295 yards of total offense (240 pass, 55 rush) on just 47 plays in that outing. UTC allowed a season-high 342 rushing yards to the triple-option Bulldogs.
Â
In 2015, UTC ran out to a 21-0 halftime lead before a 31-23 victory gave the Mocs a share of the SoCon title. Chattanooga posted a fourth quarter comeback in the 2013 meeting, scoring with just over two minutes remaining for a 28-24 win on Oct. 26. The Mocs had to overcome a 17-7 halftime deficit in that victory.Â
Â
In 2012, the Bulldogs were ranked No. 11 in the nation when they hosted the 1-3 Mocs. The Citadel had just posted wins over No. 3 Georgia Southern and No. 7 Appalachian State, before losing an FBS game at N.C. State. The Mocs went into Johnson Hagood Stadium and put on a dominating performance in a 28-10 victory for one of the biggest road wins in school history.
Â
The 2011 game was the other side of the coin for UTC fans. The 15th-ranked Mocs took a 27-0 lead into halftime. The Citadel stormed back with 28 unanswered points in the second half to post a 28-27 win.
Â
UTC captured a three-point squeaker (31-28) in 2009. The Citadel's Andre Roberts, currently with the Atlanta Falcons, scored on a rain-soaked 43-yard punt return with 1:46 left to play to give the Bulldogs a 24-21 win in 2008.
