Seven possessions, one first down and 17 total yards. Five punts and two turnovers.
Those are the eye-popping numbers that demonstrate the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga defense’s dominance in the second half of the No. 25 Mocs’ 38-17 win over No. 10 Jacksonville State on Saturday.
“It definitely was a second half to remember, for sure,” linebacker Ryan Consiglio said after the game.
Sitting in his office Sunday while taking a break from studying the game film, Mocs coach Russ Huesman said those final two quarters were about as good as good defense gets.
“Our guys did a good job, a great job,” Huesman said.
