The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga’s 2016 football schedule is highlighted by a Thursday night opener at Finley Stadium, one of six home games for the Mocs.
UTC released the 11-game schedule Thursday.
The three-time defending Southern Conference champions will open Sept. 1 against NCAA Division II member Shorter College with a 7 p.m. kickoff at Finley. It will be the program’s first Thursday night opener since a 31-21 loss to UT-Martin on Aug. 29, 2013.
That will be followed by a Sept. 10 home game against fellow Football Championship Subdivision program Presbyterian, a Big South Conference member. The Mocs beat the Blue Hose 21-0 last season in Clinton, S.C.
