Russ Huesman knows his University of Tennessee at Chattanooga team won’t be favored when the Football Championship Subdivision 11th-ranked Mocs face Football Bowl Subdivision top-ranked Alabama tonight in Tuscaloosa.
But he does suspect his team will play well.
And with the FCS playoffs potentially looming next week, a little momentum can never hurt.
The Mocs split in their last four contests, having looked largely underwhelming in those games. Chances are the Crimson Tide aren’t the “get right” game the Mocs may need, but that doesn’t mean whatever happens on the scoreboard has to be indicative of the play on the field.
Offensively, UTC wants to move the ball.
