COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – There was no hangover for the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football team.
One week after securing the outright Southern Conference championship and the program’s first playoff berth in 30 years, the Mocs stepped outside the league and dismantled Tennessee Tech 38-17 at Tucker Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
“I think that’s what good teams do,” UTC coach Russ Huesman said. “You come out and all you guys wanted to talk about this week was a hangover, but when you’ve got an older team, a mature team and a good football team, they don’t let those things happen.
“I thought we had good energy, and that’s what I wanted to see today coming off a big win and against a good team. We had some hiccups, some things we’ve got to get cleaned up, but I thought for the most part we played a pretty sound game. We were sloppy at times, but I’ll take it.”
