New Tickets RecordFor the third straight season, UTC has set a school record for season ticket sales. Friday, sales surpassed last season’s mark of 2,676.
Ten games remain on the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga’s football schedule. Ranked 25th in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision, the Mocs must win seven to have any shot at reaching the playoffs, one of their primary goals.
All coach Russ Huesman is concerned about, however, is getting win No. 1. UTC dropped its season opener last Saturday at Nebraska and will try to earn that win this evening at Finley Stadium against No. 10 Jacksonville State (1-0).
“It’s a big game,” Huesman said. “It’s a big game because we’re playing a good football team. We need a win – it’s important that we get a win – but it’s going to be real, real hard.”
The Mocs were in position to win at JSU last season but couldn’t close it out. UTC led 17-0 in the third quarter before the Gamecocks rallied for a 21-17 victory.
