UTC quarterback Alejandro Bennifield and his teammates will be on display for the fans today at Finley Stadium, beginning at noon.The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football team has spent the past three weeks getting acclimated to a new coaching staff.
The Mocs get a chance today to show how much better they’ve gotten.
UTC’s spring game will be held today at noon at Finley Stadium, under a much different format than normal. The Mocs still have four practices after today, as they started two weeks later than usual to get defensive coordinator Tom Kaufman up to date. He was hired after Brandon Staley took a job with the Chicago Bears.
Head coach Tom Arth plans to run today as a glorified practice. The Mocs will go through individual drills for the first hour, with a 40-minute scrimmage planned in the second hour. After the scrimmage, the team will sign autographs on the field.
“I think the way we do our spring practice and spring game, it will be good,” Arth said. “So much of it will be practice for us, and I think that fans and people that come out to watch will get an inside look at how we practice and prepare on a daily basis, which I think is going to be really positive.”
