Alphonso Stewart is tired of talking.
The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga senior wide receiver is ready to play, as are his teammates.
That first opportunity is four days away.
The game-prep part of the Tom Arth era at UTC starts today, as the 12th-ranked Mocs focus on their game Saturday at 6:30 p.m. EDT against sixth-ranked Jacksonville State in Montgomery, Ala.
The Gamecocks have won four straight in the series that UTC leads 25-15, but the average margin of victory in those four games has been 3.8 points. Three straight three-point JSU wins were followed by a 41-35, overtime triumph in the second round of the 2015 Football Championship Subdivision playoffs.
