One of biggest problems facing University of Tennessee at Chattanooga quarterback Jacob Huesman going into the 2015 season will be distributing the ball between no less than nine quality receivers.
UTC head coach Russ Huesman, offensive coordinator Jeff Durden and receivers coach Will Healy have the bigger issue: determining how to distribute playing time between those receivers.
The group has displayed a solid mix of speed, size and talent has been on display in the first week of the Mocs’ spring practice. The team wrapped up its fourth session Wednesday afternoon, and have one more practice on Friday before their first scrimmage on Saturday at Scrappy Moore Field.
UTC wide receiver Xavier Borishade catches a pass during the Mocs’ football practice on Wednesday, March 25, 2015, at Scrappy Moore Field in Chattanooga.The time for that scrimmage has not yet been determined.
C.J. Board and Xavier Borishade are the leading returning pass catchers, with each having made over 30 catches last season. Alphonso Stewart is the only other returning receiver with multiple catches, as he had 20.
