At its core The Citadel remains a triple-option football team, but that's not going to be the Bulldogs' only offensive look this season.
The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga ran 763 plays on offense last football season. Quarterback Jacob Huesman ran the ball, threw it or caught it on 459 of them. Terrell Robinson, the Mocs' other run-throw-catch triple threat, was involved in 136 plays.
In just a couple of days the No. 25 University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football team will open its season at Finley Stadium.
Jason Simpson will return Thursday to a place he knows well, Finley Stadium.
