Wiedmer: Football Mocs hope to become lords of the ringsWarren shows ‘flash’ in UTC spring game
The offensive schemes were “vanilla,” according to University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football coach Russ Huesman.
One goal was to end Saturday afternoon’s Blue-Gold spring game at Finley Stadium with no injuries, so the offense dropped back and threw the ball around all game long. But the defenders pinned their ears back and attacked.
The final score was 6-0 in favor of the White team, courtesy of a pair of Henrique Ribeiro field goals. The Blue team won the yardage battle 198-146.
The award for the offensive most valuable player of the game went to backup quarterback Alejandro Bennifield, who was a combined 5-for-8 passing for 42 yards while spending time on both teams. The defensive MVP was freshman linebacker Dale Warren, who tied position mate Tim Whatley for the team lead with six tackles.
