Chattanooga Football2009 season ReCap

Chattanooga (6-5, 4-4 soCon)

To say that the 2009 University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football season was a magical one would be a tremendous understatement. On the surface, a 6-5 record and fourth place finish in the Southern Conference may not look like much, but dig a little deeper and it is easy to see the leaps and bounds that were made to “Restore the Glory” to Chattanooga football.

Head coach Russ Huesman was hired in December 2008 and immediately went to work rebuilding a program that had just come off a 1-11 season and was winless in conference action. The former Moc and his staff orchestrated one of the biggest turnarounds in school history and reignited the passion for Mocs football on campus and in the Chattanooga community.

Before the season began, the coaching staff started the process of restoring the glory by bringing in the No. 9 rated recruiting class in the FCS. That did not include sophomore QB B.J. Coleman who transferred to UTC from Tennessee following the spring semester.

The excitement generated around Huesman’s hiring and Coleman’s return to his hometown, helped boost season ticket sales to an all-time high of 2,527. Things just got better for the Mocs from there.

UTC opened with a 30-13 win over Glenville State in Finley Stadium. The Mocs snapped a 10-game losing streak as 14,002 fans came out for the season opener. It was the third largest crowd in Finley Stadium history.

After a 38-20 loss to Furman in Week 2, Chattanooga traveled to Presbyterian and posted a 29-13 win. That snapped a 21-game losing streak to Division I opponents and ended a nine-game road slide for Chattanooga.

Sitting 2-1 for the first time since 2005, the Mocs next welcomed No. 17 Wofford to Finley Stadium. Chattanooga smacked the Terriers 38-9 and snapped a 13-game losing streak to SoCon opponents. It was Chattanooga’s first win over a ranked team since a 2006 victory against No. 19 Georgia Southern.

Now at 3-1 for the first time since the 1997 season, UTC traveled to Samford and snapped a six-game SoCon road losing streak with a 14-7 win. It was the first time UTC won its first two road games since the 1980 season, when Huesman was a senior defensive back for the Mocs.

UTC went on to drop its next two games, at Georgia Southern (30-20) and at No. 7 Elon (45-10). The Mocs won their fifth game of the year at home against Western Carolina, 24-20 on Oct. 31. Chattanooga rallied from a 20-9 deficit in the second half to post the win.

After a closer-than-the-score 35-20 loss at No. 8 Appalachian State, Chattanooga returned home for Senior Day against the Citadel on Nov. 14. It was a memorable afternoon in Finley Stadium as the Mocs captured a stirring 31-28 win. Chattanooga mounted its largest fourth quarter comeback in school history after trailing by 15 points, 28-13, with 13 minutes remaining in the game.

UTC went on to gain national recognition in a season-ending loss to No. 2 Alabama, 45-0. The Mocs were all over ESPN and other national sports outlets for facing the Crimson Tide during their final stretch run to the FBS national title.

The list of accomplishments for the Mocs during the 2009 season is impressive, record-breaking and comprehensive. Here is a rundown of all of the things Chattanooga Football accomplished in its first step to “Restoring the Glory” to Mocs football.

BEARD,CAMAYEARNALL-AMERICANHONORSTwo members of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football team earned NCAA Football Championship Subdivision All-American honors from the Associated Press. Senior kicker Craig Camay was named to the second team while senior defensive lineman Josh Beard made the third team. Camay and Beard were the 24th and 25th Mocs to earn All-American honors.

MOCSTIESCHOOLRECORDWITHEIGHTONTHEALL-SOCONTEAMBetween the SoCon media and coaches all-conference teams, eight Mocs were honored for their play in 2009, tying the school record since joining the SoCon in 1977 for all-conference recognition in a single season. UTC also had eight honorees on the 1979 squad. Senior DE Josh Beard and senior PK Craig Camay were first-team players on both the coaches and media squads. Senior WR Blue Cooper and junior Ol Chris Harr were on the second team according to both the media and coaches. Sophomore DB Jordan Tippit was a first-team media selection while junior DB Buster Skrine was a first team selection by the coaches. Skrine was also a second team selection by the league’s media, along with freshman DE Joshua Williams. Senior lB Joseph Thornton made the coaches second team.


BEARDNAMEDSOCONDEFENSIVEPLAYEROFTHEYEAR&ALL-DECADETEAMSenior Josh Beard, a 6-1, 250-pound senior defensive end, came out of nowhere to grab Southern Conference Defensive Player of the Year honors according to the league’s media and coaches in 2009. After making just eight tackles in eight games as a junior in 2008, Beard led the SoCon and tied for the national lead with 12 sacks in 2009. His 12 sacks equaled the ninth-highest single-season total in league history and the UTC school record set by Tyler Unzicker in 2001. Beard was the first Moc to earn player of the year honors from the SoCon media. He was just the third Moc in school history to earn any SoCon Player of the Year honors. The lincolnton, Ga., native recorded at least one sack in eight games in 2009, including a stretch in mid-October where he recorded two sacks in three consecutive games. In addition to his sacks, Beard tallied 62 tackles and four quarterback hurries. SouthernPigskin.com also placed Beard on its Southern Conference All-Decade squad. Beard was one of two Mocs on the All-Decade team, joining fellow defensive player Josh Cain (1999-02).

CAMAYKICKSHISWAYTOANOUTSTANDINGSEASONFifth-year senior Craig Camay had a very productive year as a place-kicker. He was a second-team All-American and First Team Southern Conference selection in 2009. He was 22-24 on PATs and 16-19 on field goals. He tied for the SoCon lead the SoCon in FGM (16) and was second in FG% (84.2%). He tied his own school record with four field goals against Western Carolina. His 52-yarder against Presbyterian tied for the second longest FG in school history. He made the last 12 consecutive FG attempts on the season, one shy of the UTC and SoCon record for consecutive FGs made. Camay was also very effective with a trick on-side kick. He converted all five of his “surprise’ on-side kicks. The only one the Mocs did not get was a traditional attempt against Furman. • His 16 FGs in 2009... - Tied for second most in school history...record is 22 set by Matt vick in 2000 - Tied for 10th in the nation• 136 career points is 7th all-time at UTC• 27-37 for his career, ranking 5th in school history in FGM• Career 73.0% FG accuracy is No. 3 all-time at UTC

SOPHOMOREB.J.COLEMANLIVEDUPTOTHEHYPESophomore QB B.J. Coleman created quite a stir in the Scenic City when he announced his decision to transfer from Tennessee to Chattanooga. The former high school standout at McCallie in Chattanooga was fourth third in the SoCon in total offense (210.8/game) and third in passing yards (213.5/game). His numbers are even more impressive when you consider he had thrown a total of eight competitive passes the previous two seasons. • 2,348 passing yards on the season - 31st in the nation - 7th Moc to throw for 2,000+ yards in a season - 1st to throw for 2,000 yards since 2004 - No. 4 on the Mocs’ single-season list • Eight 200-yard passing games is No. 6 on the Mocs’ career list• 17 TDs tied with Steve Woods (1980) for No. 7 on the Mocs’ single-season list.• 39-61 for 356 yards and three TDs against The Citadel - 2 comps shy of the school record and the most by anyone in the SoCon in 2009 - 5 attempts shy of the school record and the most by anyone in the SoCon in 2009 - Most yards by a Moc since 2004

AWUAH,WILLIAMSNAMEDTOSOCONALL-FRESHMANTEAMRB Chris Awuah and DE Joshua Williams both earned spots on the Southern Conference All-Freshman team. Awauh led the Mocs in rushing with 453 yards on the year. He took over the starting role as a true freshman after senior Bryan Fitzgerald was lost for the year in the Samford game. He finished with four rushing TDs and averaged 3.0 yards per carry. Williams, another true freshman, set a UTC freshman record with seven sacks on the year.

She, of course, said “Yes.” Maci is the sister of UTC senior QB/WR Jare Gault.

O-LINEDOESNOTALLOWASACKINTHELASTFOURGAMESOF2009The Mocs’ offensive line allowed only nine sacks on the season, the second fewest in the SoCon and tied for 4th fewest in the nation. UTC has not allowed a sack in the last four games, a string of 176 pass plays. That included a matchup against FBS Champion Alabama in the season finale. Starting QB B.J. Coleman has not been sacked since the Georgia Southern game on Oct. 17. He went the final 213 pass plays of the year without being sacked.

MOCSFINISHFOURTHINTHESOCONPicked to finish in last place in the Southern Conference race at the beginning of the year, Chattanooga shock the league by recording a 4-4 mark in SoCon play. The Mocs finished fourth in the league, their highest showing since the 1998 season.

HUESMANNAMEDSOCONCOACHOFTHEYEARHead coach Russ Huesman was named the 2009 Southern Conference Coach of the Year by the league’s media and shared the honor with Appalachian State’s Jerry Moore according to the league’s coaches. Huesman was the architect of one of the greatest turnarounds in SoCon history, guiding his alma mater to a 6-5 overall mark and 4-4 record in league play in just his first year. After a 1-11, 0-8 campaign in 2008, the five-win turnaround ties for the best in school history. The results were just as noticeable in the stands where UTC averaged over 10,000 fans per game for the first time in Finley Stadium history and nearly doubled the attendance average from a year ago. Huesman’s six victories are the most by a first-year Chattanooga coach since Bill Oliver went 8-3 in 1980. Huesman is the first Moc to earn coach of the year honors from the league’s coaches since Buddy Nix in 1990.

SCHOOL-RECORDEIGHTMOCSEARNSOCONPLAYEROFTHEWEEKHONORSIN2009UTC had three different student-athletes earn Southern Conference Player of the Week honors for the first time in school history following Week 3. Senior Bryan Fitzgerald won the offensive award, sophomore Ryan Consiglio earned the defensive honor while sophomore Mike Hammons took home special teams recognition. The last time the Mocs won three Player of the Week honors was Sept. 23, 1989, when James Roberts was the Offensive and Freshman of the Week and Junior Jackson won the defensive honor. After not winning a single weekly honor in 2008, Chattanooga won a school-record eight awards handed out by the SoCon this season. The other winners were Craig Camay (ST-W2; ST-W11), Chris Awuah (Fr-W2), Josh Beard (Def-W6) and Johsua Williams (Fr-W11).

MOCSRECEIVEDAVOTEINTHEFINALTOP-25The Mocs received votes in the top-25 throughout the season and ended the year with a single vote in the Sports Network’s final top-25. This may not seem like a big deal, but the last time the Mocs were ranked was Monday, Oct. 27, 1997, following a 6-1 start to the season. Chattanooga moved to No. 23 in the Sports Network’s Top-25 on the heels of a 24-21 win against Western Carolina in the second game ever played in Finley Stadium. Chattanooga was ranked as high as No. 22 in the nation that year, after starting the season 2-0. Chattanooga’s highest ever national ranking came in 1992 when they broke into the top-10 following a 2-0 start. The Mocs were No. 9 in the Street & Smith Top-25 after posting wins at Boise State and at home against UT-Martin.

LOSINGSTREAKSENDIN2009The Mocs snapped a 10-game losing streak with their win over Glenville State on Sept. 3. They also ended a 17-game losing streak against Division I opponents with their 29-13 win against Presbyterian. Chattanooga had lost nine straight road games overall before defeating Presbyterian. UTC also won its first non-conference game against a Division I opponent since a 31-7 victory at Tennessee Tech, on Aug. 31, 2006, with the PC win. The Wofford win snapped a 13-game SoCon losing streak. The Samford win stopped a six-game SoCon road losing streak. Chattanooga also stopped a three-game slide against The Citadel.

The Chattanooga Mocs finished in the top-100 among all NCAA Division I ath-letic programs in 2008-09 according to the final learfield Sports Directors’ Cup stand-ings. UTC finished the year in 99th place with a total of 180.5 points. The learfield Sports Directors’ Cup was developed in 1994 as a joint effort between the National Association of Collegiate Athletic Directors (NACDA) and USA Today to honor athletic departments for their success in all NCAA Sports. “Being a Top-100 program is meaningful because it serves as evidence that we are pursuing excellence across all 17 of our sports” stated UTC Director of Athletics Rick Hart. “Accomplishments such as this are years in the making – and the result of

our collective efforts! We are fortunate to serve and employ a plethora of talented and ambitious people – student-athletes, coaches, staff, university personnel, alumni, donors and fans – without whom this simply would not be possible.” Adding to the impressiveness of finishing in the top-100 is the fact that the Mocs operated on a $9 million budget for 2008-09. Miniscule funding when compared to the athletic department budgets of the majority of the institu-tions listed in the top-100. Over the last three years, UTC has won 11 regular season and 14 tournament championships in the Southern Conference, far more than any school during that time. A school-record six teams won SoCon titles in 2008-09 and while 10 squads were represented in the postseason.


school record of 2,300 season tickets sold was set in the 1997 season, the first year of Finley Stadium. This is the third year UTC has topped the 2000-sold mark, including 2,003 sold in 1998. Chattanooga nearly doubled its sales from 2008 when 1,271 were sold.

TWOTOP-5CROWDSATFINLEYSTADIUMIN2009Ticket sales were booming for the Mocs in 2009. All five of the Mocs’ home crowds ranked in the top-17 all-time at Finley Stadium. UTC had 14,002 at the Glenville State game on Sept. 3, the third largest crowd in school history. UTC’s record crowd is 22,642 set against Tennessee State in the first game at Finley Stadium on Oct. 18, 1997. The largest crowd to watch a football game at Finley is 23,010 when Appalachian State defeated Delaware 49-21 in the FCS National Championship game on Dec. 14, 2007.

HOMEIMPROVEMENTNot only were more people coming out to see the Mocs play, but more people were also leaving on a winning note. UTC posted a 4-1 record at Finley Stadium in 2009. That is one more win than they had in the previous three years combined. It tied for their most wins in a season at Finley Staidum, equally their win total in 2000 when they went 4-2 at home.

SEASONNO.102The Chattanooga Mocs finished their 102nd season of collegiate football. The University of Chattanooga was founded in 1886 and football began play in 1904. No teams were fielded in 1917 and 1918 due to World War I. There was also a two-year hiatus from football action during World War II in 1943 and 1944. The Mocs have an all-time record of 455-469-32 (.493) and have won 10 conference titles.

2009 Chattanooga Football �0 RestoRe the gloRy

Russ Huesman was named the University of Tennessee at Chat-tanooga football program’s 22nd head coach on Dec. 22, 2008. Huesman, a 1983 graduate of UTC and a former defensive back for Chattanooga, brings over 25 years of coaching experience to the Mocs football program.

Huesman spent the previous five seasons as the defensive coordinator at the University of Richmond, helping guide the Spiders to the 2008 Football Championship Subdivision National Title. The Spiders were known for their “Stonewall Defense,” a phrase that was coined by Bruce Dowd of the Col-lege Sporting News. Richmond’s defense was ranked in the top-15 in the nation in each of the last three seasons under Huesman’s guidance.

Huesman’s ‘Stonewall Defense’ was most impressive in the 2008 national title game played in Chattanooga. His Spiders held the No. 4 Montana Grizzlies scoreless for three quarters, and just seven points total, in a 24-7 win.

In 2008, Richmond’s defense ranked in the top-10 in the FCS and was No. 1 in the Colonial Athletic Association in total de-fense (268.8 yards/game) and scoring defense (15.6 ppg). The Spiders also held 12 different opponents to less than 100 yards rushing and less than 20 points. Richmond’s 29 interceptions in 2008 smashed the school’s previous single-season record of 20 set back in 1973.

The last four seasons have seen Huesman produce a total of 19 defensive all-conference players, including NFl prospect law-rence Sidbury, Jr. (Dl) who was a two-time first team All-CAA pick in 2007 and 2008.

In 2007, the Spiders ranked second in the CAA and 15th na-tionally in sacks per game (2.6), while ranking third in the league and 31st in the NCAA in turnover margin per game (+0.6) in 2007.

In 2006, Huesman led an experienced group that allowed just 268.7 yards per game to rank 11th in the nation and second in the conference. Against the pass, the Spiders were the At-lantic-10’s most dominant team, yielding an average of 152.8 yards and intercepting a league-best 12 passes. Richmond’s front seven ranked fourth in the conference and 21st in the nation against the run, limiting the opposition to just over 115 yards per game on the ground. The Richmond defense allowed the fourth-fewest points in the conference and 22nd fewest in the country (18.1).

Huesman spent six years at the University of Memphis (1998-2003) where he held several positions, serving as the recruiting coordina-tor and offensive line coach, before leaving for Richmond. He also coached the outside linebackers, tight ends and running backs. As recruiting coordinator, Huesman brought in a top-50 recruiting class, ranked No. 1 in Con-ference USA, in 2002. It was the first recruit-ing class ranked in the top-50 at Memphis in school history.

Huesman also coached for 14 years at Wil-liam & Mary and was the Tribe’s defensive coordinator for the 1996-97 seasons. During

his tenure with the Tribe, Huesman coached current NFl star Darren Sharper, who led a defense ranked second in the na-tion, allowing just 231.8 yards per game in 1996. That defen-sive squad also led the Yankee Conference in total defense and helped power the Indians to their first conference title since 1970. In 1997, the Tribe defense was third overall in the Atlan-tic 10 and led the league in pass efficiency defense.

In addition to coordinating the Tribes’ defense, Huesman also coached the William & Mary secondary, a job he took over in 1991. In eight seasons under his direction, the College of Wil-liam & Mary developed one of the most effective backfields in the nation.

During his time at William & Mary, Huesman also coached Steve Christie, a 15-year NFl place kicker with Tampa Bay, Buf-falo, San Diego and the New York Giants. His coaching family tree also includes Alan Williams, the defensive backs coach for the Indianapolis Colts, and Sean McDermott, the secondary coach with the Philadelphia Eagles. Both Williams and Mc-Dermott played for Huesman at William & Mary.

A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, Huesman played prep football at perennial power Moeller High School, where he lettered for four years under head coach Gerry Faust. He helped Moeller’s team compile a record of 43-0-1 and win a pair of Ohio state championships.

An all-city selection in football as a senior, Huesman signed a football scholarship with Chattanooga, where he started all four years as a defensive back (1978-81) and was a two-sport athlete. He played under the late Joe Morrison for two years and competed his final two seasons under Bill Oliver. Hues-man also patrolled centerfield on the baseball diamond for the Mocs during his freshman and junior seasons.

During his playing career at UTC, the Mocs posted a 31-11-2 mark and were Southern Conference co-Champions in his freshman and sophomore seasons.

Huesman was on the Mocs sidelines for the 1982 seasons as a student coach, earning his degree in business education in 1983. He followed that up with a move to the University of South Carolina as a graduate assistant under Morrison.

Huesman and his wife Amy have two daughters, Natalie (12) and Emily (9) and two sons, Jacob (15) and levi (5).

Game3Chattanooga29,PRESBYTERIAN13Sept.19•BaileyMemorialStadium

The Chattanooga Mocs improved to 2-1 for the first time since the 2005 season with a 29-13 win at Presbyterian College (0-3) in Clinton, S.C., today. The Mocs (2-1, 0-1 SoCon) were led by senior RB Bryan Fitzgerald’s 181 yards rushing and a strong second half surge by the defense to post their first road win in almost two seasons. After the Mocs’ opening drive stalled, PC took over deep in its own territory. Freshman linebacker Ryan Consiglio snagged his first career interception on the Blue Hose’ first offensive play, giving UTC excellent field position on the PC 16-yard-line. The Mocs gave six of those yards back and the drive ended with senior Craig Camay missing a 39-yard FG attempt. The Blue Hose responded with a 69-yard drive that ended in a 26-yard FG by Aaron Mayes, giving PC a 3-0 lead. The Blue Hose went up 10-3 with 12:54 left in the first half on a one-yard run by Trandon Dendy. The Mocs’ ensuing drive seemed to stall after two plays, but Coleman hit junior TE Garrett Huges over the middle for a 41-yard reception to get to PC’s 24 yard line. Three plays later, Coleman found junior Chris Pitchford on the far side to tie the game again at 10-10. UTC’s defense settled down in the second half and only allowed 107 yards of total offense after the break. Chattanooga scored again on a 22-yard TD pass from Coleman to Davis with just over 10 minutes left in the third quarter. The PAT was blocked and the score remained 22-10. The final score of the game came at the end of the third on a three-yard TD run by Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald’s 181 yards on the ground set a new career-high and was the first 100-yard rushing game by a Moc since he and Erroll Wynn topped the century mark in the last game of the 2007 season. Sophomore QB B.J.Coleman finished the game 16-29 passing for 224 yards and a pair of TDs. It is his third consecutive 200-yard passing game. Davis fin-ished with three catches for 76 yards and a touchdown while seniors Blue Coo-per (45 yards, Clint Woods (39 yards) and Pitchford (23 yards, 1 TD) all had four catches each. Consiglio led Chattanooga’s defense with a season-high 12 tackles and a sack to go with his early interception. UTC posted five sacks on the night and senior Joeseph Thorton added his fifth career interception. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 2 3 4 ScoreChattanooga 3 13 6 7 29Presbyterian 3 7 3 0 13

Game1CHATTANOOGA30,No.22GlenvilleState13

Sept.3•FinleyStadiumCHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - Chattanooga opened its season with a 30-13 vic-tory Thursday over Glenville State (1-1) in front of 14,002 fans, the third-largest crowd at Finley Stadium. Head coach Russ Huesman recorded a win in his head coaching debut. Sophomore quarterback B.J. Coleman completed 18 of his 34 passes for a game-high 258 yards, while senior wide receiver Blue Cooper paced the Mocs’ receiving corps catching eight balls for 127 yards. The Chattanooga ground at-tack was led by freshman tailback Chris Awuah who picked up 63 yards on 13 carries. Coleman, who transferred from Tennessee during the summer, completed his first four passes for 71 yards and finished the first half with 205 yards going 13-21 with one touchdown and zero interceptions. Early in the second quarter, freshman tailback Chris Awuah ran left on a bro-ken play for three yards scoring the second touchdown of the game and the first of his career, also on his first collegiate carry. On the drive, senior quarterback Jare Gault entered the backfield with Coleman split wide and ran 15 yards con-verting a key third-and-two carrying the ball inside the five. After a nine-play drive stalled on its next possession, Glenville State pinned the Mocs deep at their own 13 on a 26-yard punt by Tanner Collins, but Coleman and his Mocs responded quickly. He found tight end Garrett Hughes down the right sideline a 73-yard touchdown and a 21-0 halftime cushion. The Mocs continued to impress on offense in the second half with Coleman completing a 19-yard pass to Cooper. Awuah broke free for a 22-yard rush before finishing off the 10-play, 80-yard drive with a two-yard carry up the middle giv-ing Chattanooga a 28-0 lead. Just before the end of the third quarter, Glenville State got on the scoreboard with a 28-yard scamper by DeAndre Brown. On the point after, sophomore Nick Craig caught the failed extra point returning the ball to the 35 before pitching to Skrine who weaved his way running down the right sideline, cutting back to the left, catching a fumbled ball off a single bounce and scrambling even further through the Pioneers before diving into the end zone for the two-point conver-sion extending the Mocs’ advantage to 30-6. The Pioneers scored their second touchdown of the game with 1:37 left in the game when Joe Mesidue broke through the Chattanooga defense from 26 yards out. The defense was led by senior linebacker Joe Thornton’s career-high 17 tackles, eight of which were solos, one-and-a-half for loss (seven yards) and two pass breakups. A trio of defenders - Doug Faatiglia, Steven Smigelsky and Jaron Norfleet - each posted nine tackles with all three registering career highs with the effort with Smigelsky’s total coming in the first collegiate start for the senior.------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 2 3 4 ScoreGlenville State 0 0 6 7 13Chattanooga 7 14 9 0 30ScoringSummary:1st 10:55 UTC DYER, Bo 2 yd run (CAMAY, Craig kick), 2-24 0:29 0 - 72nd 13:23 UTC AWUAH, Chris 3 yd run (CAMAY, Craig kick), 7-48 1:42 0 - 14 06:56 UTC HUGHES, Garrett 73 yd pass from COlEMAN, B.J.

Game2Furman38,CHATTANOOGA20

Sept.12•FinleyStadiumCHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - UTC dropped a 38-20 decision to Furman in front of 11,201 at Finley Stadium. The Mocs couldn’t overcome a couple of key turnovers along with a bad snap in the kicking game. Senior wideout Blue Cooper was the standout for the Mocs with a career-high 13 catches for 109 yards. He opens the season with back-to-back 100-yard reception games. The Paladins had their way of things offensively in the first half, but the Mocs defense tightened the ship in the second. Chattanooga allowed just 112 total yards in the second half after Furman ran and passed its way down the field in the first. In fact, Paladins quarterback Jordan Sorrells threw for 120 yards on eight of 10 passing in the first half, but completed just three of nine after the break for 19 yards. The Mocs opened the game on a high note recovering an on-side kick, get-ting the ball at its own 39. On the first play, sophomore B.J. Coleman was hit as he threw and his pass was intercepted by Max lerner who returned it 43 yards for the score. On the second drive of the game, the Mocs methodically moved the ball down the field before a fumble on a Bryan Fitzgerald run gave the Paladins the ball on their own 30. Furman then marched 70 yards in eight plays scoring on a Chris Truss catch from Sorrells from two yards out to make it 14-0. The Mocs struck gold on their third drive with a 52-yard catch-and-run by Chris Awuah. Coleman hit him on the left side on third down and he scam-pered down the sideline to make it 14-7 to complete the 81-yard, six-play drive (3:07). Furman answered quickly starting the drive on its own 42. Four plays in, Uhaa ran off tackle left for 34 yards to make it 21-7. Chattanooga continued to move the ball as well with a six-minute, 18-sec-ond drive ending with a 35-yard field by senior Craig Camay. The Mocs went 56 yards in 16 plays before the drive stalled. Fitzgerald and Awuah combined for 40 all-purpose yards on the drive. The final drive of the half belonged to Furman and after moving the ball to the Mocs’ one-foot line, the Paladins’ Uhaa was stuffed twice at the line of scrim-mage, but with four seconds remaining, Uhaa got one more chance and scored as time expired to put Furman up 28-10 at the half. Even in the loss, there were a lot of positives for the Mocs on both sides of the ball. The defensive effort in the second half, along with the offense consis-tently moving the ball were definite bright spots. The Mocs had five drives of six or more plays in 10 total possessions. There was only one three-and-out and a score on a two-play drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 2 3 4 ScoreFurman 21 7 7 3 38Chattanooga 7 3 3 7 20ScoringSummary:1st 14:50 FUR Max lerner 43 yd interception return (Matthew Cesari kick) 7 - 0 05:16 FUR Truss 2 yd pass from Jordan Sorrells (Matthew Cesari kick), 8-70 4:23 14 - 0 02:03 UTC Awuah 52 yd pass from Coleman (Camay kick), 6-81 3:07 14 - 7 00:00 FUR Tersoo Uhaa 34 yd run (Matthew Cesari kick), 4-58 1:46 21 - 72nd 08:36 UTC Camay 35 yd field goal, 16-56 6:18 21 - 10 00:00 FUR Tersoo Uhaa 1 yd run (Matthew Cesari kick), 18-77 8:29 28 - 103rd 09:47 UTC Camay 42 yd field goal, 10-44 5:13 28 - 13 00:00 FUR Steed 0 yd fumble recovery (Matthew Cesari kick) 35 - 134th 10:21 FUR Matthew Cesari 27 yd field goal, 9-40 4:01 38 - 13 03:03 UTC Cooper 2 yd pass from Coleman (Camay kick), 2-33 0:38 38 - 20

GEORGIASOUTHERN30,Chattanooga20Oct.17•PaulsonStadium

STATESBORO, GA. - The Chattanooga Mocs dropped its second game of the sea-son, 30-20, at Georgia Southern tonight. UTC could not overcome a cold and rainy night, combined with a strong performance by the Eagles, and fall to 4-2 on the season. The Mocs running game was already slowed with the news earlier in the week that starting tailback senior Bryan Fitzgerald would need surgery on his injured foot, ending his collegiate career. Georgia Southern’s defense made it even tougher, holding UTC to a season-low 33 yards on the ground. GSU opened scoring in the first quarter by taking the ball 60 yards on eight plays on its first drive. Adam Urbano reached the end zone on a nine-yard run to put GSU up 7-0. The Mocs’ first drive stalled after seven plays, but the UTC defense stepped up on its second time on the field. Senior lB Joseph Thornton forced a fumble by Urbano on third-and-short that was recovered by sophomore DB Jordan Tippit. Chattanooga took a shot at the end zone on the offense’s first play back on the field that resulted in a 32-yard strike from sophomore B.J. Coleman to junior Chris Pitchford. The 7-7 score held for the remainder of the first period. Rain and a heavy mist picked up for the rest of the opening half, making for a slick football and slippery conditions on the field. The Mocs had a difficult time running the ball, posting -4 yards on the ground in the first half. Georgia Southern took the lead again with a 20-yard field goal by Adrian Mora with 10:50 left in the half. UTC forced another fumble later in the quarter that led to a game-tying 40-yard field goal by Craig Camay with 22 seconds left in the half. GSU got a good return on the ensuing kick-off that helped to set-up a 45-yard FG by Mora, giving the Eagles a 13-10 lead at the break. The Mocs tied the game at 13 on the opening drive of the second half with a 23-yard field goal from Camay. The Mocs got to the GSU six-yard-line on an 18 completion from Coleman to Pitchford. Georgia Southern would go onto to score 17 unanswered points the rest of the way to put the game out of reach. Coleman hit freshman Terrance Davis for an eight-yard strike with 1:16 left in the game to round out the scoring. Coleman finished the game 23-40 for 208 yards and two touchdowns while freshman Chris Awuah had 41 yards rushing on 10 carries. Senior Blue Cooper caught seven passes for 60 yards.

Game4CHATTANOOGA38,No.17Wofford9

Sept.26•FinleyStadiumCHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - It was a rainy day heading into Homecoming 2009, but the skies cleared just in time for kickoff as Chattanooga took down No. 17 Wof-ford 38-9 at Finley Stadium on Saturday evening. The Mocs held the Terriers to just 226 yards of total offense. The Mocs last win over a ranked FCS team was a 27-26 win in Finley Stadium over No. 19 Georgia Southern on Sept. 23, 2006. In that game, UTC place-kicker Estaban lopez kicked a 38-yard field goal as time expired. Sophomore quarterback B.J. Coleman threw for four touchdowns while completing 23 of 30 for 176 yards. The four touchdown tosses and 23 comple-tions were season highs for the Chattanooga native. The Mocs’ receiving group was led by junior Chris Pitchford who set new ca-reer highs with eight catches for 55 yards and a touchdown. Senior captain Clint Woods recorded five receptions for 50 yards and a score as well. Fellow senior Blue Cooper also caught five balls for 20 yards and two scores. Wofford was led by Mike Rucker’s 57 rushing yards on nine carries. Wideout Justice Joslin had three catches for 60 yards and the Terriers’ lone touchdown. Defensively, Tommy Irvin and Keaton Thompson each had a game-high 11 tack-les. It was a well-rounded defensive effort for the Mocs led by redshirt freshman Ryan Consiglio’s nine stops. Senior Joe Thornton had a thunderous stop to go with his five tackles, while senior defensive end Josh Beard had the lone sack along with his four tackles. The front seven had 39 of the Mocs 54 tackles. Chattanooga got on the board first on a three-yard slant from Coleman to Cooper on third-and-goal to make it 7-0 with 4:50 left in the first quarter on an 11-play, 55-yard drive. The scoring play was set up by a 12-yard third-down conversion on a pass from Coleman to senior Jare Gault. Chattanooga picked up 21 first downs and converted seven of 13 third downs generating 346 yards of total offense. The running game was a factor with the Mocs rushing for 170 yards on 42 carries. Bryan Fitzgerald (17-78) and Awuah (14-69) combined for 31 rushes and 147 yards.------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 2 3 4 ScoreNo. 17 Wofford 0 7 0 2 9Chattanooga 7 10 7 14 38ScoringSummary:1st 04:50 UTC Blue Cooper 3 yd pass from B.J.

Game5Chattanooga14,SAMFORD7

Oct.10•SeibertStadiumBIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Chattanooga (4-1/2-1) jumped out to a 14-0 lead and held on for a 14-7 win over Samford (3-3/1-2) at Seibert Stadium Saturday afternoon. The win moves the Mocs to 2-1 in league play, one game behind first-place Elon at 3-0.

It is the first time the Mocs have been 4-1 since the 1997 season. One has to go even farther back to find the last time UTC started 2-0 on the road. It was in 1980 when current head coach Russ Huesman and offensive line coach Russ Ehrenfeld starred for the Mocs.

B.J. Coleman led the Mocs throwing for 249 yards on 18 of 31 passing with no interceptions. He rushed for Mocs first score, while Chris Awuah got the oth-er. Awuah had 40 yards on 20 carries as it was a tough running day for both squads.

Junior wideout Chris Pitchford had a big afternoon with a career-high 135 receiv-ing yards on five catches. He had four catches of 19 or more yards including a 54-yarder that kept alive the drive that Awuah scored on.

Samford running back Chris Evans was held to 64 yards on 21 carries. Evans entered the game second in the SoCon in rushing yards per game (107.4) to the Mocs’ Bryan Fitzgerald (109.3). Fitzgerald left the game in the first quarter with a foot sprain after rushing for 14 yards on three carries.

Bulldogs QB Dustin Taliaferro completed 25 of 31 passes for 165 yards with no touchdowns and one interception. The relentless Mocs defense held the Bull-dogs to 208 yards total offense and while adding five sacks.

No.7ELON45,Chattanooga10Oct.24•RhodesSatdium

ElON, N.C. - The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football team fell to 4-3 on the season and 2-3 in the Southern Conference with a 45-10 loss at No. 7 Elon today. The Mocs started off the afternoon with some momentum after a solid de-fensive play. Sophomore DB Joel Bradford picked off Elon QB Scott Riddle on the first play of the game. Senior Craig Camay converted a 27-yard field goal on the ensuing drive to give UTC a 3-0 lead early in the first quarter. That was about all the UTC offense could muster for the next three quarters as Elon scored 38 unanswered points to improve to 6-1 on the year and 4-0 in SoCon action. Riddle hooked up with senior Terrell Hudgins for three-straight touchdown plays. Hudgins three TD receptions ties for the most by an opposing receiver in a game in UTC history. Hudgins, the FCS all-time leader in most re-ceiving categories, finished the game with six catches for 74 yards and the three scores. Riddle was 13-18 for 196 yards, three TDs and one INT. Add that to Thomas Wilson’s 3-4 passing for 34 yards and Elon totaled 230 yards through the air, the most allowed by the Mocs this season. Their 388 yards of total offense was also the most allowed by the Chattanooga defense in 2009. UTC was led by senior WR Blue Cooper’s seven catches for 72 yards and one TD. Sophomore B.J. Coleman finished the game 14-30 for 122 yards, one TD and one interception. It was his lowest output of the season and just the second time in 2009 he did not reach the 200-yard passing mark. Senior Josh Beard did add two more sacks to bring his season total to 9.5. He came into the game leading the SoCon and No. 2 in the nation in sacks on the year. Freshman Josh Williams tied the UTC freshman mark with his fifth sack of the year. The Mocs’ five sacks in the game tied for the most allowed by the Phoenix in a game in 2009.

Game8CHATTANOOGA24,WesternCarolina20

Oct.31•FinleySatdiumCHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - It was a scary start to a rainy Halloween day game, but the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (5-3/3-3) football team concluded Blue & Gold Week with a 24-20 win over Western Carolina (1-7/1-5) in front of 9,320 fans at Finley Stadium. The Mocs overcame a 20-9 second-half deficit to claim the fifth win of the season. UTC is now one win shy this season of equaling its win total from the previous three years combined. The winning drive came late in the fourth quarter on a Chris Awuah six-yard scamper untouched to make it 24-20. Mocs QB B.J. Coleman orchestrated a 16-play, 77-yard, seven-minute, 24-second drive to put Chattanooga up for good with 3:33 to play. After a quick first down, the Mocs defense held the Catamounts on the next four plays to turn the ball over with big plays on a sack by freshman DE Josh Williams and a pass breakup by junior CB Buster Skrine. The offense held the ball until the 16-second mark giving the Catamounts the ball back with too little time to mount a drive. Coleman was 22-for-41 passing for 248 yards and an interception. He completed passes to seven different Mocs which was quite an accomplishment since 16 of those catches were recorded by senior wideout Blue Cooper. Six other receivers caught one pass apiece. Cooper tallied 143 yards on 16 receptions setting a career-high for catches in a game, while notching a season high for yards with his third 100-yard receiving game. The 16 catches were two shy of the Mocs game and Southern Conference record set by Alonzo Nix with 18 against Wofford on Oct. 4, 2003. On a day where the Mocs did not attempt a point-after kick, rather twice going for two-point conversions, the kicking game was a highlight. Senior PK Craig Camay tied a career-high with four field goals hitting from 27, 28, 30 and 37 yards. The kickoff return team was also key to victory with the Catamounts average starting position being their own 25 while averaging just 14.2 yards per return.------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 2 3 4 ScoreWestern Carolina 6 7 7 0 20Chattanooga 0 3 12 9 24

Game9No.8APPALACHIANSTATE35,Chattanooga20

Nov.7•KiddBrewerSatdiumBOONE, N.C. – The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football team dropped a hard-fought 35-20 contest at No. 8 Appalachian State. The Mocs scored 20 unanswered points to cut the ASU lead to 21-20 with just under 11 minutes left in the fourth quarter, but could not complete a second-straight come-from-behind win. Chattanooga (5-4, 3-4 SoCon) spotted the Mountaineers (7-2, 6-0 SoCon) 21 points in the opening frame with the first score coming after an Appalachian State interception. Sophomore QB B.J. Coleman hit junior TE Garrett Hughes on the third play of the game. However, Hughes was unable to pull the pass in. ASU’s D.J. Smith snatched the ball out of the air and returned it 34 yards to the Mocs’ 1-yard line. Two plays later, Devin Moore punched in a 1-yard strike to put ASU up 7-0 with over 12 minutes left in the first quarter. The same play was repeated two plays into the Mocs’ second drive when Coleman hit senior WR Clint Woods over the middle. Woods also had trouble tucking away the pass and ASU’s Jacque Roman took that ball out of the air on the Mocs’ 39. Chattanooga’s defense pushed ASU back three-yards and forced a punt after a three-and-out to keep the game 7-0. The Mountaineers were able to score on back-to-back drives to push the lead to 21-0 at the end of the first quarter, equaling the most points UTC has allowed in the open period this season. Chattanooga came out of the locker room with an aggressive approach, con-verting two-straight on-side kicks to start the second half. UTC was only able to muster three points on the two extra possessions, but the back-to-back conver-sions energized the team and helped the Mocs gain the momentum. Chattanooga actually outgained ASU 351-322, including 246-140 in the air. Coleman finished 25-46 for 246 yards, one TD and three interceptions. Those were season-highs in attempts, completions and interceptions. ASU senior QB Armanti Edwards came into the game No. 2 in the nation in total offense, averaging 361.9 yards per game. Chattanooga held Edwards to 192 yards of offense in the game. Freshman RB Chris Awuah also had a solid game, posting a season-high 97 yards on 28 carries. Pitchford had his second 100-yard receiving game of the season with 106 on a career-high nine catches. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 2 3 4 ScoreChattanooga 0 7 10 3 20Appalachian State 21 0 0 14 35

CHATTANOOGA31,TheCitadel28Nov.14•FinleyStadium

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - Fifteen Chattanooga (6-4/4-4) football players played their final home game at Finley Stadium. It was a memorable afternoon as the Mocs captured a stirring 31-28 win over The Citadel (4-6/2-5). Chattanooga mounted its largest fourth quarter comeback in school history after trailing by 15 points, 28-13, with 13 minutes remaining in the game. B.J. Coleman’s 356 passing yards keyed the Mocs charge. He completed 39 of 61 attempts including three scores and one interception. The completions, yards and attempts are all season highs for the Chattanooga native. Cooper caught 14 passes for 139 yards and two scores, both pivotal in the fourth quarter comeback. The fifth-year senior’s game was dull in comparison to his post-game celebration as he proposed to Maci Gault, teammate Jare’s sister. Gault, last year’s starting QB, caught seven passes for 70, but he made two of the biggest catches of the day to continue drives. Tight end Garrett Hughes added eight receptions for 72 yards, while Pitchford had six catches for 50 yards and a score. Edwards led the Bulldogs with 214 yards in the air on 21 of 37 passing and three scores. The Mocs could not force a turnover on him, but they did record four sacks. Roberts caught 10 balls for 107 yards and two touchdowns. The Citadel converted eight of 10 third downs through the first three quar-ters, but managed just one-for-five in the fourth. The Bulldogs defense held the Mocs to just 17 rushing yards which is the fewest in Chattanooga in a win. The Chattanooga defense was led by senior middle linebacker Steven Smi-gelsky who recorded 11 tackles with two for loss including a sack. The Southern Conference’s sack leader, and No. 2 in the nation, Josh Beard made his final home game memorable recording one-and-a-half sacks to give him 12 on the season which ties the school record held by Tyler Unzicker (2001). True freshman DE Josh Williams came up big as well with seven stops. The Mocs broke up 11 passes led by senior lB Doug Faatiliga’s four. Faatiliga made the tackle of the game on the Bulldogs’ fourth-and-one with 4:29 to play in the contest. The six wins match the total of the last three seasons combined for the Mocs. It also clinches Chattanooga’s first winning season since 2005.------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 2 3 4 ScoreCitadel 14 21 0 7 28Chattanooga 0 3 10 18 31ScoringSummary:1st 09:13 CIT Andre Roberts 3 yd pass from Tommy Edwards (Sam Keeler kick), 13-73 5:47 05:00 CIT Tommy Edwards 5 yd run (Sam Keeler kick), 6-26 2:592nd 01:40 CIT Andre Roberts 9 yd pass from Tommy Edwards (Sam Keeler kick), 12-49 4:09 00:00 UTC Craig Camay 30 yd field goal, 11-60 1:363rd 11:24 UTC Craig Camay 35 yd field goal, 12-56 3:36 03:01 UTC Chris Pitchford 23 yd pass from B.J.

Game11No.2ALABAMA45,Chattanooga0

Nov.21•Bryant-DennyStadiumTUSCAlOOSA, Ala. - In front of a national television audience and 92,012 fans at Bryan-Denny Stadium, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga had a tough time fighting off the pressure that No. 2 Alabama brought the entire game as the Crimson Tide rolled to a 45-0 victory. The Mocs started off strong, forcing a three-and-out on Alabama’s first pos-session of the game. Chattanooga converted a third-and four when sophomore QB B.J. Coleman hit junior WR Chris Pitchford for a 10-yard gain and a Moc first down. Unfortunately for Chattanooga, that was one of its few highlights of the game. Going up against a top-ranked defense proved to be difficult for the Chat-tanooga offense as they gained just 84 yards on 48 plays. Coleman had players in his face the entire game completing just seven of his 21 attempts for 36 yards and two interceptions. The Mocs also had difficulty running the football as senior Shaun Kermah, freshman J.J. Jackson and freshman Bo Dyer had six attempts each gaining a total of 39 yards. With the offense having trouble moving the ball, the defense was on the field for most of the game. Senior Steven Smigelsky tied a career-high for the second straight game with 11 tackles. Fellow senior Joseph Thornton and sopho-more Jordan Tippit each added nine more tackles. The Mocs got to the Alabama quarterback twice in the game for a loss of 17 yards. The Mocs finish the season at 6-5, logging a winning record for the first time since 2005. With a 4-4 record in the Southern Conference, Chattanooga is guar-anteed to finish no lower than fourth in the final overall standings and could end up third with a Wofford win against Furman later today.------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 2 3 4 ScoreChattanooga 0 0 0 0 0No. 2 Alabama 21 14 3 7 45
