CHATTANOOGA---The 9th-ranked Chattanooga Mocs are doing something they haven't done since 2018…host the VMI Keydets. It's the second straight game this has happened in a way with the trip to ETSU for the exciting 24-16 Rail Rivalry triumph being the first trip to Johnson City since 2018.
 
It's press conference Tuesday with Coach Rusty Wright looking back on the off week's work and ahead to Saturday. He was followed by wide receiver Tyron Arnett and defensive back Kam Brown. The VMI contest if the first of six Southern Conference games in a row.
 
The Mocs are 4-1 overall, 2-0 in league play. That puts the squad in third place, a half-game behind Mercer and Samford at 3-0. The Keydets arrive at 1-4, 0-2 in conference contests. Kickoff is slated for 1:30 p.m., at Finley Stadium.

3 NOTES TO KNOW

• Fifth & sixth straight weeks as a top 10 program. Longest since a 27-week stretch from Nov. 15, 2014 to Nov. 19, 2016.
• This year's squad is proving to be a second half juggernaut. Or maybe just the more consistent side on the field is a better way to look at it. In first halves, the Mocs are +4 in scoring, 65-61. In the second, the program has scored 69 points but allowed 20 with just three in the fourth quarter which came off a fluke turnover off the punt return set up a short field. That's a +49 scoring margin.
• Jay Person's last nine games: 18.5 TFL including 9.5 sacks.
