LEXINGTON, Va. – There are some – perhaps many – outside the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football program frustrated with the team’s slow start this season. It’s a sentiment that’s shared by a lot within the program as well, even more since they are the ones affecting the outcomes of the games.
The UTC players and coaches also know a win today – a positive result on the scoreboard – could greatly reduce the frustration.
The winless Mocs open Southern Conference play today at another winless program, Virginia Military Institute, with kickoff at Foster Stadium slated for 1:30 p.m.. The game will be produced on the Stadium Sports Network, which will be available on MyNetwork Chattanooga, online at WatchStadium.com and on Twitter on the WatchStadium account.
“I think we desperately need a win at this point in the season,” UTC junior receiver Bingo Morton said. “The only thing on our mind is getting the ‘W’ this week. Once guys start having more opportunities to make plays and start having more fun on the field, I think those things will come.
“I think we’re playing together, but not everything is clicking as one. The offense, defense and special teams haven’t come together yet, but when they do it’s going to be scary for other teams, so I think once that happens we’re going to be really good.”
