CHATTANOOGA---The Chattanooga Mocs and ETSU Bucs reacquaint themselves this Saturday at Finley Stadium. Game time is set for 1:30 p.m. It's the renewal of the Rail Rivalry. The Rail is the most prestigious railroad tie in sports with the winner taking it home for a year. It's resided since 2019 in Chattanooga living lavishly in the team meeting room in McKenzie Arena.
The matchup features two of the best rushing attacks in the SoCon as well as two of the most physical defenses in the Southeast. While the Rail Rivalry is just entering its fourth season, the battle for the trophy is spirited with the past two winners getting by their opponent by a mere field goal.
Here's all the information the faithful fan needs for a Saturday at Finley…
