Marquis Green burst loose for a 60-yard touchdown in the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga’s second scrimmage of spring practice last week. He’s hoping for another long run today during the Mocs’ Blue and Gold game at Finley Stadium.
“When you’re going against our defense, you’re always trying to get out there and make something big happen,” Green said Wednesday.
Whether any of the Mocs’ running backs produce big plays remains to be seen, but they will get plenty of opportunities. Today’s annual end-of-spring game will wrap up UTC’s 15 practices in intentionally unspectacular fashion, coach Russ Huesman said.
“We’re going to really water down the offense, big-time, because we’re not going to show anything,” Huesman said Monday. “There’s going to be no moving parts, and we’re going to hand the ball off and throw the ball. Defensively, we’re going to line up and play defense.”
