SPARTANBURG, S.C. – For coach Rusty Wright’s vision for the 2021 University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football team to work, players were going to have to buy in.
At virtually every position, playing time would be reduced for individual Mocs. Lineups have been evolving throughout the course of the year – on offense, defense and special teams.
“Everybody wants to make a play,” linebacker Jay Person said, “but sometimes we just have to face the facts, doing our job and helping the defense as a whole.”
The Mocs did a ton of subbing Saturday in their 35-10 Southern Conference win at Wofford, but the combinations worked.
UTC (6-3, 5-1) faced the Terriers (1-8, 0-7) without offensive lineman Harrison Moon and wide receiver Reggie Henderson, yet the Mocs didn’t miss a beat despite the constant flow of fresh bodies coming into the game.
