Jacksonville State fumbles on a crucial 4th down play in the 3rd quarter. The Gamecocks recovered the ball but the Mocs took over on downs.Seven possessions, one first down and 17 total yards. Five punts and two turnovers.
Those are the eye-popping numbers that demonstrate the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga defense’s dominance in the second half of the No. 25 Mocs’ 38-17 win over No. 10 Jacksonville State on Saturday.
“It definitely was a second half to remember, for sure,” linebacker Ryan Consiglio said after the game.
Sitting in his office Sunday while taking a break from studying the game film, Mocs coach Russ Huesman said those final two quarters were about as good as good defense gets.
“Our guys did a good job, a great job,” Huesman said.
