University of Chattanooga Mocs Football Preview

The good news last year for the Moccasins was an offense that averaged 30 points a game. The bad news was a defense that allowed nearly 50 points a game. All of that imbalance resulted in a 2 win season. This year things are going to be much different. They've added artificial turf to their pretty stadium, they've transferred in a bunch of fellas who didn't quite work out at other programs, and they are actually going to try and run the ball a little.

WHAT? Run the ball? Yep, control the clock a little, rest the defense a little, and score a few less. But, the goal is to get "points allowed" stat down to below 20 and keep the "points scored" stat nearer 30. And reverse the 2-9 record to about 9-2. Can they do it? Yep. Tennessee Tech will be a good opening barometer on September 3rd, and another important contest is Wofford on October 1st.

Summary: Worst to first in the Southern Conference in one year. Go Mocs.

Tomorrow: Will CN actually have a stadium to play in?
