The UTC Mocs football team scrimmaged at Finley Stadium on Saturday afternoon, despite the inclement weather.Despite the steady rain that fell throughout its scrimmage Saturday at Finley Stadium, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football team was able to move the ball through the air.
Quarterback B.J. Coleman completed his first eight passes and finished 11-of-16 for 116 yards and a touchdown. He had one pass intercepted by cornerback Chaz Moore, who snagged an underthrown ball.
Mocs coach Russ Huesman said he didn’t enjoy standing out in the rain for two hours during the scrimmage, but he thought his players did.
“Hopefully we blocked and tackled in some capacity and got something out of it,” Huesman said. “We had some nice throws and catches out there, and it looked like they had some fun out there.”
Marlon Anthony had four catches for 63 yards. His 3-yard touchdown was set up by a 37-yard catch on the previous play.
