The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football team will open the 2010 season on TV. The Mocs’ Sept. 4 season opener at Finley Stadium against Southern Conference power Appalachian State has been picked up by SportSouth, which will move the kickoff from 6 p.m. to 3.
The SoCon released its TV schedule Thursday and the Mocs’ opener is the first of the league’s eight “SoCon Saturdays” this season. The Mocs aren’t scheduled to appear on SportSouth again, however the games for the last two broadcast dates, Nov. 13 and 20, have not been set.
SportSouth and the SoCon will wait and pick the most important games at that point in the season.
Three of the six scheduled games feature Appalachian State, which has won five straight league titles. Elon has two games scheduled, including an Oct. 9 game at Appalachian State, while the rest of the league has just one appearance each.
