CHATTANOOGA---The 9th-ranked Chattanooga Mocs took a week off and are now recharged and ready for a 6-game Southern Conference dash to the regular season finish. The squad is 4-1 overall, 2-0 in league play currently sitting in third, a half-game behind Mercer and Samford at 3-0 each.
 
Not only are the Mocs back in action this week, but they're also home in Finley Stadium for next two beginning with VMI on Saturday. Game time is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. The Keydets are making their fist visit to Chattanooga since 2018.
 
What's the expectation coming off a bye week?
 
"Just looking to see if some of the things we worked on and corrected during the bye week show up," Coach Rusty Wright explained. "That's the biggest thing. We worked on some things trying to make ourselves better, and we'll see if that paid off for us."
 
It's Salute to Heroes Week in Chattanooga. All active military, first responders, doctors and nurses get a free general admission ticket to the contest. Those tickets need to be picked up at the box office with identification. Additional tickets are available to family members at the discounted price of $12.
 
Coach Wright joins "Voice of the Mocs" Jim Reynolds on Chat with the Mocs tonight at Walk-On's Sports Bistreaux on Broad Street in Chattanooga's Aquarium District. It can be listened to from 7-8 p.m., on 96.1 FM/1070 AM in the Scenic City area or access it online here.
 
Running back Ailym Ford joins them as well. The junior from Florence, S.C., is the sixth in school history to record 2,500 rushing yards in a career. He has 1,536 yards and 18 touchdowns, 16 on the ground, in his last 15 games.
