Even going against its own offense, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga wasn’t about to allow a touchdown.
After failing to keep the offense from driving down the field in one of the later stages of the scrimmage portion of UTC’s Spring Showcase on Saturday afternoon at Finley Stadium, the Mocs’ defense shut down junior Tyrell Price on fourth-and-goal, ending the offense’s best chance at six points.
“We love not letting people score,” defensive end Derek Mahaffey said. “You get close to the end zone and struggle, that’s a win for us.”
Added cornerback C.J. Fritz: “That’s our job. If you can’t score against us, you can’t win.”
UTC coach Tom Arth called the event “a good day.”
