First Look
The Chattanooga Mocs head into Week 5 with the Southern Conference opener looming Saturday. The Citadel comes to town starting an 8-game, 9-week grind to the finish. Yes, all the non-conference matchups are out of the way, now it's just life in "the neighborhood".
 
Today was press conference Tuesday. Coach Rusty Wright began the proceedings followed by left tackle Aidan Donald and linebacker Amanuel Dickson.
 
About the Speakers

• Coach Wright is chasing another "first to" mark. He is 29-15 all-time in SoCon play. A win Saturday night makes him the fastest Mocs ball coach to 30 league wins. Current leader is Russ Huesman who did it in 47 contests (30-17).
• Donald and his o-line crew have had a great two weeks blocking for the Mocs talented stable of runners. The top two games in terms of yards per carry came in weeks three and four: 8.1 vs. Stetson & 7.9 at Tarleton State.
• Dickson and fellow linebacker Zion Rutledge are in race for the tackle lead. Dickson had it through weeks two and three before Rutledge's 13 at Tarleton shot him in front. The leaderboard: Rutledge (26) & Dickson (24).

   
He was followed by Donald and then Dickson.
