B.J. Coleman is used to putting up big numbers. The good kind.
Even though the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga quarterback has thrown for more than 800 yards and seven touchdowns in his past two games, those aren’t the numbers that stand out to him or anyone else.
Instead it’s the nine interceptions: four at Furman and five last week against Elon.
“It’s not acceptable by any means,” he said. “I think last year I had nine total for the season. It’s something that can’t happen. … We’ve got a three-game season and I don’t want to throw another one.”
Most of Coleman’s interceptions the past two games have come off of tipped passes, either at the line of scrimmage or in the area of the receiver.
