We actually moved the ball on the ground:
UNA - Rushing Player Att. Gain Loss Net TD Lg. Avg. Daniels,Jalyn. 3 49 0 49 0 30 16.3 Lacey,Demarcus 13 42 4 38 0 9 2.9 Walters,Noah 5 26 1 25 0 12 5.0 Smith,TJ 7 26 5 21 1 15 3.0 Warden,Kobe. 1 15 0 15 0 15 15.0 Driggers,Parker 7 12 4 8
Daniels better get the rock. 16 yards per carry means next game you get more involved. Passing game has to come to life, we can’t suffer another terrible week of passing. I am not even going to post those numbers. Will say we have two receivers that got open and caught it when we gave them a chance. I do predict we make a FG this week….heck we might make 2. So here goes the score for Saturday and look back at my history of home games, pretty impressive on how close I get on the score.
UNA 27 UTC 23
Roar Lions!

Smith’s pitch to Daniels on the jet sweep was most of his yards. I thought they were the most dynamic duo in the backfield. Yet, Walters and #14 Kobe Warden from Brooks was also a good combo. The constant swapping was unorthodox but possibly necessary in that heat.
It will be interesting to see how that works out this week.

If we can get the win against UT-Chattanooga….will be huge for the program. We do need to keep playing the Moccasins moving forward. Looking forward to this game

Watching the games last night, I have to feel for Nebraska fans. I think we share some of their pain. We both kinda wish for the 90s to return. We both went to a new conference (division) and have struggled. We both have gotten used to losing games by a score or 2. We both have a new coach and want to be optimistic again. Obviously we've had some higher highs than they have since the 90s, but still.
If I have to predict this game I'd say the Mocs probably win it by 10-14. I trust that in time we'll be better, but until I see evidence we can win a game we shouldn't, I assume it won't happen.

Who replace Stevie Young at left guard last week? Does anyone remember the number? Also I saw Wisdom playing a lot in the 2nd half on dline in the middle, number 50. Looks like we feel good about 3 tackles for dline which is pretty strong.

I expect the Lions to get spanked tonight, though not as badly as last year.
Oh, and living here in Chattanooga, I also initially thought "Mocs" meant moccasins. But it actually is short for Mockingbirds.

Seriously? So we are attempting to kill a mockingbird tonight….hmmm. Hope coaches paid attention to that story. I like our chances, we have the luxury of week one corrections and learning from game experience….of course they saw it too.

In all fairness, making your mascot a Native American shoe was weird. Lol. Go Shoes!! 🤣🙄 Here’s more on their mascot. The change was made in 1997. They even used a shoe in the 80s!

Well I hope UTC steps in it tonight, doesn’t matter what shoes they are wearing at the time. The Lions sock it to the Mocs at Braly. We tie up their running game . Our offensive playmakers get to slipper e to tackle. We boot the FG that out forces the Mocs to go for it and we dig our heels in for the victory on defense.

Haha. gomocs.com/sports/2019/10/1/whats-amocI wish certain peaple would go to the tribes that are still in America and ask how they feel about things before calling something insensitive and changing... If Florida State done it, the Seminole tribe would be furious. Now, we have Native American tribes across the country mad and wanting Washington to go back to the Redskins name. If you ask them, and they don't like it, change it... that simple... if they like it, dont... I wish peaple would stop letting people who have no stock in the situation run things...

Maybe they did 25 years ago when they made this decision. This isn’t a recent change for UTC.

Chattanooga actually makes sense outside of the PC stuff... who wants to be shoes?
