OK, so maybe those three Southern Conference football wins in three games that the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Mocs have amassed haven’t come against the top of the SoCon.
In fact, two of those league victories – Western Carolina and East Tennessee State – have come at the expense of schools yet to win a conference contest.
Big deal. The only thing that matters is that three conference games along, the Mocs of first-year head coach Rusty Wright are the only team undefeated in a very balanced league heading into Saturday’s game at Wofford.
Or as Wright noted during Tuesday’s media luncheon, “We’ve won three games in a row three different ways.”
What they haven’t done, of course, is play one of the SoCon’s traditional powers. That changes with Wofford. It gets no easier the following week when No. 14 Furman visits Finley Stadium. Or the week after that when the Mocs travel to Samford.
