CHATTANOOGA---It's another top of the table battle in the Scenic City when the No. 11 Chattanooga Mocs take on the 9th-ranked Samford Bulldogs in Finley Stadium Saturday afternoon. Kickoff is slated for 1:30 p.m., as the Southern Conference standings get a facelift.
Currently, four teams are in a battle for the title. The Bulldogs are in first with a 6-0 league mark followed closely by the Mocs, Mercer and Furman at 5-1. What of the Bears and Paladins? They're matching up in Macon at 3 p.m., Saturday so there is a lot on the line for a conference boasting four teams ranked among the top 13 in the FCS Division I polls.
It's a full day for the Mocs. Men's golf is having an alumni event in the morning and tailgating in the pavilion. You might get a look at a U.S. Amateur Champion, Hall of Famers, local legends, national champions, but sadly no PGA Tour golfers as Stephan Jaeger '12 is teeing it up at the Cadence Houston Open this weekend (
leaderboard here). Women's basketball ends the day hosting Austin Peay in the Roundhouse with a 7 p.m., tipoff.
But we're here to talk about football. Here's all you need to know to enjoy a fantastic afternoon of college football…
