The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football team returns to Finley Stadium for Homecoming this weekend.  The Mocs host VMI on Saturday, Oct. 27, with a 3:04 p.m. (E.D.T.) kickoff in Chattanooga, Tenn. 
 
The Homecoming Game is sponsored by Atlantic Capital and the theme is a Nightmare on Oak Street, Where the Shadows Creep. For more information on the Homecoming events during the week, visit www.utc.edu/homecoming.   
Chattanooga snapped a two-game slide with a 26-6 win at Western Carolina in its last outing on Oct. 13.  The Mocs are coming off the open week with a 5-2 overall record and in fourth place in the Southern Conference race at 3-2.  UTC is just one game out of first place ETSU (6-2, 4-1 SoCon) and Wofford (5-2, 4-1 SoCon) and a half-game behind Mercer (4-3, 3-1 SoCon).  Samford (4-4) is also 3-2 in the league.    
 
The Keydets are looking for their first win of the season, having lost their seven games on the year, including six in SoCon action. There have been some close calls, with three of those loses coming by a field goal or less.   
 
Chattanooga is still receiving votes in both the AFCA FCS Coaches Poll and the STATS FCS Top 25.  The Mocs are three spots outside of the Coaches Top 25 with 14 votes and four places away from being ranked in the STATS poll with 132 votes.
 
For the third game in a row, the Mocs defense has a tough test on its hands.  VMI is the No. 3 passing attack in the nation, averaging 343.1 yards per game through the air.  The Mocs have done an outstanding job keeping opponents out of the end zone, currently leading the SoCon and No. 9 in the FCS in scoring defense at 18.0 points per game allowed this season.

MOCS ARE HISTORICALLY STRONG IN THE REDZONE
UTC currently leads the SoCon and is No. 6 in the FCS in red zone defense (61.5% - 16/26).  The Mocs have made 10 stops when backed inside their own 20-yard line, including two last time out against Western Carolina.  Chattanooga only had six all of last year and just five in 2016.  The last time they had 10 or more in a season was in 2005 when they had 12 (38-50 – 76%).
 
COOPER LEADS THE MOCS DEFENSE
Junior LB Marshall Cooper was the SoCon Defensive Player of the Week after posting eight tackles, a forced fumble and and interception in a 27-20 win over No. 17 Samford on Sept. 22.  His interception came as Samford was trailing by two scores but driving deep in Chattanooga territory in the fourth quarter.  The 41-yard return flipped the field for the Mocs. Cooper also added a pass breakup in the game.  Cooper is currently third in the SoCon and No. 34 in the FCS with 9.1 tackles per game.
 
Cooper has twice stopped a team on the goal line.  He forced a fumble on the one-yard line against Wofford.  He also recovered a fumble in the same situation at Western Carolina.   
 
TURNOVER TURNAROUND
Through seven games, the Mocs are +7 in turnover margin.  That leads the SoCon and is No. 15 in the FCS.  That is a dramatic difference than a year ago when UTC was -12 in that category, 8th in the SoCon and 113th in the FCS.  UTC is second in the SoCon (20th in the FCS) with seven fumbles recovered.  The Mocs are second in the league (23rd in the FCS) with nine interceptions.  UTC is one of 13 teams in the FCS to throw three picks or less on the year.  The Mocs have also lost only six fumbles, three at ETSU.  Chattanooga is second in the SoCon and No. 18 in the FCS in total takeaways with 16.

MACK & MAHAFFEY CONTROLLING THE MIDDLE
Defensive linemen don't typically put up big numbers when it comes to making tackles.  However, that is not the case with UTC's senior duo of Derek Mahaffey and Isaiah Mack.  Mahaffey and Mack are currently tied for second on the team with 7.3 stops per game.  They each have posted 10+ tackles twice in a game, led by Mack's 16 at The Citadel.  Mahaffey set his career mark with 11 of his own against the Bulldogs.
 
TIANO ALSO PUTTING UP IMPRESSIVE NUMBERS
Junior QB Nick Tiano is 149-237 passing for 1,828 yards and 12 touchdowns against only three interceptions.  He needs 290 yards to pass Jacob Huesman's 2015 total of 2,117 passing yards for 10th most in a season at UTC. 
 
Tiano has also run 44 times for 150 yards and one score, giving him 1,978 yards of total offense this season.  He needs 365 yards of total offense to pass Kenyon Earl (2,342 - 1993) for 10th most in a season at UTC. 
 
Tiano is 16th in the FCS and fourth in the SoCon in total offense (283.0) through seven games.  He is third in the league and No. 15 in the FCS in passing yards (260.0).  Other SoCon/FCS rankings include 3rd/31st with 12 passing TDs, 3rd/14th in completions per game (21.1) and 3rd/21st in completion percentage (62.9%). 
 
Tiano was the first Moc to throw back-to-back 300-yard games since B.J. Coleman against Furman (432) and Elon (386) in 2010.  He also had the most passing yards in the first two games of the season since Chris Sanders threw for 358 at Samford and 367 at Louisville in 1999.  His 347 yards against The Citadel were the most in a game since Jacob Huesman had 359 against Mercer in a 38-31 win on Oct. 25, 2014.  His 318 passing against TTU were the most in a season opener since B.J. Coleman had 340 vs. No. 3 Appalachian State on Sept. 4, 2010. 
 
TYRELL PRICE GIVES THE MOCS A VERSATILE RUNNING ATTACK
Junior RB Tyrell Price had season highs with 135 rushing yards on 29 carries at Western Carolina.  It was the most carries in a game since Jacob Huesman had 31 against No. 21 Indiana State in the FCS Playoffs on Dec. 6, 2014.
 
Price is currently fith in the SoCon with 74.7 rushing yards per game.  He is third in the SoCon and 25th in the FCS with seven rushing TDs.  He is seventh in the league in scoring (6.9) and third in total TDs (8 - 31st in FCS).
