chattanooga vs Georgia Southern 10/27

[utcfan]

is there a webcast somewhere?

UTC radio cast is free and is available online, can buy video feed through UTC site.

[LehighU11]

GSU 49 yd FG attempt with 4 seconds remaining...

[LehighU11]

Kick is wide right. Overtime!

[utcfan]

OT...had the distance but wide.

[Mr. C]

That's a long four seconds. What is happening. Time outs to freeze the kicker?

[kdinva]

Kick is wide right. Overtime!

Even if GSU prevails in OT; I think NDSU will be voted #1 come Monday..........just one thought.

[Mr. C]

I can see it now, Coach Huesman makes some goofy call on a two-point play and UTC loses by one.

[Mr. C]

Even if GSU prevails in OT; I think NDSU will be voted #1 come Monday..........just one thought.

So losing to Indiana State is better than playing UTC close and losing to The Citadel (which beat GSU and ASU in back-to-back weeks)?

[utcfan]

Perhaps, but he and staff made decisions that brought the Mocs back from being down 14-0 early and 21-10 at the half

[LehighU11]

So what happened on the field goal?

Had the distance, but wide right. There was quite a bit of wind.

[utcfan]

31-24 GSU

[LehighU11]

TD Georgia Southern on a 20 yd run

[LehighU11]

XP is good

[Mr. C]

Perhaps, but he and staff made decisions that brought the Mocs back from being down 14-0 early and 21-10 at the half

Just saying that Huesman's MO has been to play these games close and then lose in heartbreaking fashion.

[Mr. C]

XP is good

Will UTC go for two if it scores a TD here?

[Mr. C]

Thanks for keeping those posts coming. Anyone on here actually at the game?

[utcfan]

True, Jim Reynolds jokingly mentioned Mocs have a chance to tie and go to another OT, unless they choose to go for 2

[LehighU11]

Will UTC go for two if it scores a TD here?

The way GSU executed on their first possession, I wouldn't be surprised by a 2-pt conversion attempt.

[utcfan]

Mocs burn time out...2-10 on 13

[LehighU11]

Mocs on the 13.

[utcfan]

3rd and 5 on 8

[LehighU11]

TD UTC!

[utcfan]

31-31

[paward]

Wow you guys got a great game going.

[LehighU11]

going to 2nd overtime...

[LehighU11]

Mocs 3rd and 9 from 24...pass incomplete. 4th down.

[LehighU11]

41 yd field goal attempt is no good

[utcfan]

Mocs miss 41 yard FG...not looking good for Mocs

[keller625]

Fumble! on to round 3 of overtime

[utcfan]

GSU fumbles...Mocs recover

[LehighU11]

GSU fumbles on the snap. Mocs ball!!!

[utcfan]

Have to go for 2 now?

[LehighU11]

Have to go for 2 now?
correct

[BisonBohl]

wow......

[LehighU11]

Will GSU escape an near upset like NDSU, Wofford, Old Dominion, JMU, and NAU?

[utcfan]

4th and less than 1 on Mocs 5. Time out to discuss.

[OL FU]

Well you got my interest but the updates stopped. What going on

[frozennorth]

chattownmoc's is going to have the worst blueballs if they blow this

TD GSU

[IBleedYellow]

TD GSU!


Wait wait, I thought the MOCS had the ball?
Score update please.

[eaglemachine]

2 point good.
39-31 GSU

Chatty needs a TD and 2pt to tie

[utcfan]

39-31

[T-Dog]

Wait wait, I thought the MOCS had the ball?
Score update please.

Both teams scored 7 in the first OT. UTC missed the FG and then GSU fumbled it on the first play in the second OT.

GSU just scored and made the 2PC in the third overtime.

[URMite]

Will GSU escape an near upset like NDSU, Wofford, Old Dominion, JMU, and NAU?

Damn, it's a good week to have a bye! :D

[utcfan]

Mocs 3rd and 5 from 8

[utcfan]

3 and 10 from 13...false start

[utcfan]

4th and 1 or 2

[keller625]

chattys got a 4 and 2 at the 5

[Mr. C]

False starts are so lame!

[eaglemachine]

GSU Wins! 39-31

[utcfan]

Ball Game....Mocs, like the Cubs, will be waiting for next year, again.

[keller625]

Georgia Southern WIN!

[straightshooter]

Good grief....GSU wins 39-31 in 3OT

[pike51]

Hey Chattown... GFY!!! See you next year bitch!

[T-Dog]

So for the third straight year, ASU/GSU will feature the #1 team.

[Mr. C]

So what happened on fourth down?

[theasushow]

hahah damn...what a game. figured gsu would win with ease. i was wrong.

[LehighU11]

Wow heartbreaker for the Mocs and another wild finish in the SoCon...So much for all of these cardiac finishes for top ten teams helping Lehigh's chances for a seed.

[Mr. C]

Suicide watch for a certain UTC Fan/AGS poster

[mountaineerman]

dang chatty wanted this one bad

[LehighU11]

So what happened on fourth down?

Run stopped for a loss.

[Mr. C]

Wow heartbreaker for the Mocs and another wild finish in the SoCon...So much for all of these cardiac finishes for top ten teams helping Lehigh's chances for a seed.

The Mocs ALWAYS lose these type of games.

[Mr. C]

Run stopped for a loss.

Brent Russell on the play, or someone else?

[Mr. C]

My radio link came on just in time for the UTC crew to send it to commercials.

[eaglemachine]

Eubanks and Wilcox busted through the line and tackled the chatty qb

[Mr. C]

Wow heartbreaker for the Mocs and another wild finish in the SoCon...So much for all of these cardiac finishes for top ten teams helping Lehigh's chances for a seed.

How do narrow wins from other teams help Lehigh's hopes of a seed? Lehigh will be judged on its own merits.

[SuperEagle]

Your Mocs can play with anybody. But you guys lose more close games than any team I can remember. One of these years (I know you get tired of hearing this), those close games are gonna go your way. When that happens, you guys will be a contender.

[Mr. C]

Thanks, eaglemachine. If the weather allows, I hope to be back in Paulson Stadium next Saturday for another No. 1 showdown between Georgia Southern and Appalachian State.

I will not be on suicide watch. Hoping Mocs play well down the stretch and at least win the games they "should" and maybe put a scare in Wofford or beat them...Now UTC basketball has me very depressed.

About the only close ones I remember the Mocs winning were a couple of wins over Appalachian State, once when Donnie Allison was coaching and that crazy 2004 game when records were falling from drive to drive and UTC won 59-56 when Hans Batichon dropped a first-down pass on the final drive.

Congrats on a hard fought win Eagles. Another in a series of heartbreakers for the Mocs.

[theasushow]

So does after today is ASU, Wofford, GSU, and Samford the only teams with a playoff chance?

In games decided by 3 pts, overtime or less, Chatty is 0-2 this year. 0-4 in 2011, and 0-1 in 2010. I didn't go back any further than that. But that's a tough 3 year stretch.

[Mr. C]

Jacob Huesman sounds like he is about to cry on the post-game radio interview.

[theasushow]

Jacob Huesman sounds like he is about to cry on the post-game radio interview.

"I'm a man!!!! I'm 40!!!!!"

[Mr. C]

Jacob Huesman said that UTC got the blitz from the edge it was expecting on the final play, but that pressure up the middle blew up the play.

"I should have checked to a different protection," he said.

"They've got some big dudes in the middle."

[eagle07]

So does after today is ASU, Wofford, GSU, and Samford the only teams with a playoff chance?

I may need a fact check but I belive this basically eliminates chatty

[GreatAppSt]

Hey Chattown... GFY!!! See you next year bitch!

Typical xrolleyesx

[walliver]

"I'm a man!!!! I'm 40!!!!!"

I believe Jacob is 18 or 19.

[theasushow]

I may need a fact check but I belive this basically eliminates chatty

I "think" Elon, UTC were eliminated, Citadel can win out and be 7-4. (very possible)

[straightshooter]

If GSU wins next week against App, the Eagles get the auto-bid.

[MorgantonAPPAlum]

So does after today is ASU, Wofford, GSU, and Samford the only teams with a playoff chance?

If Chatty wins out and we beat GSU then there could be a 4 way tie for first at 6-2 (conference), but UTC would not have 7 D1 wins.

UTC beat The Citadel by 3 in 2009 (Huesman's first year as coach). The Mocs were 2-2 in three-point-or-less games in 2006 and 3-0 in 2005, 2-1 in 2004, So the close losses are basically in the Huesman era.

[Mr. C]

If Chatty wins out and we beat GSU then there could be a 4 way tie for first at 6-2 (conference), but UTC would not have 7 D1 wins.

The seven-win thing only relates to at-large bids. UTC could still be an auto bid team.

[Mr. C]

Coach Huesman "We played well enough in the second half that we should have won."

[eaglesrback]

Hey Georgia Southern,

Are yall ready to watch your proud little triple option offense get stuffed by a superior defense?

Now.Shut THE HELL UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mr. C]

Coach Huesman on the final play:

"Nobody has a remote, or a rewind thing."

[theasushow]

Coach Huesman "We played well enough in the second half that we should have won."

"woulda, coulda, shoulda" the story of his life at UTC.

[eagle07]

You know who really lost tonight, Mrs. Huesman...... imagine her day tomorrow lol

[eaglewraith]

So for the third straight year, ASU/GSU will feature the #1 team.

I imagine NDSU jumps us to go to number 1.

[Mr. C]

Now.Shut THE HELL UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That superior defense gave up 39 points. Ouch.

[Mr. C]

I imagine NDSU jumps us to go to number 1.

Why? NDSU had a close win today too.

[Mr. C]

"woulda, coulda, shoulda" the story of his life at UTC.

The Mocs should be called the Ifs and Buts, or Candy and Nuts.

[straightshooter]

I imagine NDSU jumps us to go to number 1.

Why would NDSU jump GSU? They played poorly enough to lose at home today, and they should never lose in that building. I say GSU 1, NDSU 2 and Cal Poly if they win 3.

[chattownmocs]

Congrats to georgia southern. They are a great team. Ours guys played well on offense and defense in the second half and left it all on the field. The slow start and bad special teams play throughout the night killed us.

[eaglesrback]

That superior defense gave up 39 points. Ouch.

yep.
Anyone heard from Chattownmoc?

[eaglewraith]

Why? NDSU had a close win today too.

They had gained points on us anyway last week even with both of us winning. In the AGS poll, they had already jumped us. I expect the other polls to do the same. They won't have looked, they'll just see that they won and we had to go to 3 OT's to win.

I understand either way. Honestly I don't want to be #1 with App coming to town.

[MR. CHICKEN]

CAL POLY TRAILS SACREMENTO STATE 21-10...AWK!

[eaglewraith]

Congrats to georgia southern. They are a great team. Ours guys played well on offense and defense in the second half and left it all on the field. The slow start and bad special teams play throughout the night killed us.

Fair enough, I'll be nice.

Good job in the second half, we didn't do ourselves any favors but it looked like you found a completely different defense. I really wish Swope hadn't been out with a concussion, that would have been fun to see I think.

I will say, Huesman is pretty scary. Him running zone read all night was painful to watch. He could be the next Armanti/Foster type player in the conference....and I hate saying that when it's not a player on our team.

Good game....I'm going to go die of a heart attack now.

[walliver]

The seven-win thing only relates to at-large bids. UTC could still be an auto bid team.

It is hard to see how UTC could win the automatic bid. UTC would lose tiebreakers with GSU, ASU, and the two together. A potential 4 way tie would go to GSU. A 3 way UTC/GSU/WC would go to GSU.

Considering that GSU has only one SoCon game left, I cannot come
up with a scenario where UTC gets the auto bid.

[noogamoc]

Ended up being an exciting game to watch. Loved the call to go for two in the third overtime.

[eaglewraith]

Have to, it's in the rules. All OT's passed the second period require a 2pt attempt.

[noogamoc]

OK, well that makes sense. Would liked to have had a chance to take it to four.

[straightshooter]

Playing on the road is a tough task for many teams. Chattanooga has had this game circled on the calendar for a year. They played their hearts out, and GSU was fortunate to win. But win they did, and that's all that matters. Let's not forget that Russell was on crutches all week, starting B-back Swope didn't make the trip due to a concussion and they took an OL player and put him at center for most of the game due to the starter getting injured early, even though he didn't take a single snap there in practice last week. I know that those things shouldn't matter, but the really do at this time of the season.

How would a 4-way tie automatically go to GSU. In the case of ASU, GSU, UTC and WoCo all being tied at 6-2 in the conference ASU and GSU would be 2-1 among the leaders, with UTC and WoCo both 1-2. ASU gets the head to head against GSU and UTC is eliminated from at large consideration because of only 6 D1 wins (all this is a long shot and ASU's only shot at the autobid, but still it's possible).

[Mr. C]

yep.
Anyone heard from Chattownmoc?

Like I said earlier, suicide watch. Better check out the top floor of the Chattanooga Marriott.

I think you've got the tiebreaker correct, unless they've changed it again. But I don't see UTC going undefeated the rest of the way.

Huesman isn't close to fast enough to put in Armanti Edwards, or Jayson Foster territory.

[Mr. C]

They had gained points on us anyway last week even with both of us winning. In the AGS poll, they had already jumped us. I expect the other polls to do the same. They won't have looked, they'll just see that they won and we had to go to 3 OT's to win.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA! Splat!

[eaglewraith]

Huesman isn't close to fast enough to put in Armanti Edwards, or Jayson Foster territory.

Armanti Edwards was not fast enough to be in Jayson Foster territory either.

I said that type of player, meaning he's in that mold. I didn't discuss his numbers. If you had watched the game tonight, you'd agree. He looked quick against our defense and we are by no means slow. Plus his running ability hurt us when we bit on the keeper.

[eaglewraith]

I would be surprised if NDSU hoped past Georgia Southern in the College Sports Journal poll.

TSN and Coach's poll are the only ones that really matter. I mentioned AGS cause the trend showed up stronger there and I think the voters in that poll are more knowledgeable than pretty much all the other ones out there.

[Mr. C]

CAL POLY TRAILS SACREMENTO STATE 21-10...AWK!

Cal Poly is getting thrashed by Sac State in the first half. Sac State is just mangling the Mustang defense.

[chattownmocs]

Jacob is still fast but lost some speed with the added weight he put on. He played a good game tonight. He was a magician at times and the huesman to t rob connection is going to be great for chattanooga for years to come.

Our defense played pretty well tonight. Very well once we switched up schemes by allowing our DEs to make plays instead of just occupying the lineman so the lbs could run free. Davis tull is a monster and he proved that he is in the conversation as the best defensive player in the league.

[Mr. C]

TSN and Coach's poll are the only ones that really matter. I mentioned AGS cause the trend showed up stronger there and I think the voters in that poll are more knowledgeable than pretty much all the other ones out there.

Maybe in your opinion, but I'll put our poll up against anyone's right now for where the teams are ranked. The coaches don't have a clue, don't watch many games and some don't even really make their own votes. The TSN's poll has its share of SIDs voting for their own teams and for teams from their conferences, etc. The SIDs don't watch anyone other than their own team play.

AGS and CSJ are the best polls out there.

Get real. I've seen the kid on several game films. He isn't close to being as fast as Edwards or Foster. I'm not much for 40 times, but I can't see him being quicker than 4.8 from my eyes.

[Mr. C]

28-17...STINGERS!

The lousy Big Sky TV feed keeps stalling out. But what I've seen, Cal Poly is going to need some defensive adjustments to stay in this one.

Did you read my post or are you just running your mouth. I didn't say he was as fast as them. Your forty time is laughable though. He is obviously faster than that.

[eaglewraith]

AGS and CSJ are the best polls out there.

Which polls matter in terms of seeding and playoff selection?

[Mr. C]

So how legit is the Big Sky? Montana State and then everyone else?

Eastern Washington is the best team I've seen out there, but the Eagles have a freshman QB and have been playing a lot of close games. Don't dump on EWU too much for losing to Brad Sorensen and a physically talented, but young in some places, Southern Utah squad. Montana State is going to run into trouble if it meets up with a team with bigger, physical lines. Cal Poly and Northern Arizona have some talent, but haven't been tested that much. Sacramento State has flashes of being good, but has been inconsistent. Trying to get my best look yet at the Hornets tonight, if that Big Sky TV feed will work.

[Mr. C]

Did you read my post or are you just running your mouth. I didn't say he was as fast as them. Your forty time is laughable though. He is obviously faster than that.

Oh really. And how long have you been watching game film and evaluating talent? I know he isn't as fast as the kid he replaced. You were the one making statements about how good this kid is. Hats off to him, it sounds like he has improved since earlier in the year and from what was said about him tonight, he must have had a good game. Hopefully, I'll see the film later this week, either in Boone, or Statesboro.

Which polls matter in terms of seeding and playoff selection?

I posted on this once and the Cyberspace gremlins just feasted on it. If you are a smart committee member, you are going to look at everything you can get your hands on to do a very difficult job. From time to time, I've had committee members pick my brains on what I thought of certain teams. That being said, the polls that matter the most are the regional polls that the committee puts together and has conference calls on each Monday afternoon. They put their own national rankings together from that.

He was pretty much the entire offense for UTC tonight. Lots of QB read option that got him good yardage.

[Mr. C]

But white guys look slower than black guys...i really believe that ha.

I've seen some fast white guys like ex-Appalachian State/NFL DB Matt Stevens over the years. Boy could that kid run before the knee injury UTC's Tyrone Coleman gave him on that cheap-shot, cut block in the fourth quarter of a blowout game in 1995.

[GATA_Eagles]

He was pretty much the entire offense for UTC tonight. Lots of QB read option that got him good yardage.

He was the MVP of the game. No question about it. He kept UTC in the game by extending plays that should have resulted in a 1-3 yard gain. He's going to be dangerous in the next few years.

[Mr. C]

He was pretty much the entire offense for UTC tonight. Lots of QB read option that got him good yardage.

One of the best I've seen on the read option this season in FCS is Grant Enders of Towson. He had 122 yards on just 12 carries today, including a 40-yard TD run against Villanova.

[Mr. C]

He was the MVP of the game. No question about it. He kept UTC in the game by extending plays that should have resulted in a 1-3 yard gain. He's going to be dangerous in the next few years.

A lot of times, it is because of good decision-making, nice reads and good fakes that a QB has success on the read option.

Another good young spread runner at QB is redshirt freshman John Robertson of Villanova. Andy Talley thinks Robertson is as fast as Matt Szczur.

[walliver]

Why do you think Georgia Southern wins a tiebreaker?

I made an error. I tried to juggle 4 teams records in my head. ASU would win the 4 way. My basic point remains that I don't see any way that UTC could get the automatic bid.

The game winner for chattownmocs ;)

[pike51]

Typical xrolleyesx

Yeah, yeah... your turn now. :)

But don't tell me he doesn't deserve it.

As for the rest of you UTC fans... that was a helluva game and an amazing 2nd half by UTC. The Mocs could have rolled over after the first half and just gone through the motions. But they fought hard and took the lead. GSU is fortunate to win in OT.

[Eaglesrus]

How many is GSU going to bring 2,000? 2500? Pretty big crowd. There will be 18k or so.

Or maybe half that. What happened to the other 9,000 UTC fans?

Anyway, Huesman played a terrific game. The next few seasons should provide a lot of excitement for Mocs fans.

[seantaylor]

Jerrick McKinnon is the man. Easily the best athlete in the conference. Chatty's QB looked decent, but for some reason, our D looked lost for the first time all year. 66 is not healthy right now, so hopefully we sit him after we win in Paulson next week.

[GATA_OneMoreTime]

I'm absolutely terrified about how good UTC will be in the future. They have a great team, and I think they will win the Socon in the next 3-5 years. But until they do, chattown, go home.

[caribbeanhen]

Brent Russell on the play, or someone else?

probably someone else, it it was Russell would have been a 1/2 dozen Bubba's letting us knowxbawlingx:D

[blueballs]

Russell gutted it out and played a limited role last night after being on crutches and in a boot all week. Monken kept Russell out a good portion of the first half.

The guy is tough and is a team player, as well as being damned good. Looks like UD could have used somebody like Brent Russell- even at way less than 100 pct- yesterday.#crybabies

[pike51]

So GATA... are you absolutely terrified? :)

Not to make excuses,but Chattanooga has a lot of fair weather fans. The cool and windy conditions chased a lot of them off. Still a disappointment. Hats off to all the GSU fans who made the trip up. Had to have been 2000-2500. Easily the best visiting crowd I've seen in a good while.

Great game to see. Good to see we can compete with you guy's. GSU has a lot of talented athletes with speed. Good luck the rest of the way.

Excellent display of class here. For those interested, this is how it's done. Chatty won this game but unfortunately for them the scoreboard doesn't reflect it. Best of luck and see you next year.

Sadly, Chattanooga has no one to blame but themselves for poor attendance...when your program sucked for the better part of 2 decades, you had pretty much no dedicated fanbase being cultivated from the 1990's until the last year or two.

So, all you have are old diehards from the 70's and 80's and some current students. To really get fans to show up, you have to win these type games. No one shows up regularly for a 6-5 program. To fill up the bandwagon (and then hopefully turn them into long-term fans), you have to go to the playoffs with some regularity. People show up for ASU and GSU (even when they have an occasional bad year) because they have been consistently good for decades. That is the only way you build a loyal following.

That being said, the Mocs have been "oh so close" the last two seasons against the big boys of the SoCon...if they could ever just break through and get that signature win, I think you would see a completely different program.

But still, as a long term fan, I can't say that I am not proud of the Mocs and their performance last night. They were "right there" with one of the best teams in the country (arguably one play, or mistake, away from a win). Coach Huesman is doing the right things at Chattanooga. He has replaced the misfit transfer culture of the past and turned into a team of solid 4-year players. No matter what the record, I don't think anyone can't claim that the Mocs haven't made progress each of the last 4 years.

It was an incredibly exciting game and I tip my hat to GSU on their win. They have been in so many games like this over the years, they know how to win them...something the Mocs program still has to learn how to do.

[blueballs]

Nice post, chattanoogamocs!!! Your program is definitely on the rise. I was so hopeful that the community would turn out last night... There is WAAAAAY too much orange in that crowd which is a shame because UC is playing better football than UT.

Also, anybody who thinks GSU beat a weak team last night, or that wasn't a quality win, hasn't seen UC play. They are good and probably one of the top 25 teams in FCS, even if the polls won't reflect it. Wofford is going to have their hands more than full with them.

That QB has a little Armanti in him and is going to be a handful for the next 3 years. UC's time is coming...

[caribbeanhen]

not really, half of our team is already on crutches, no room for another one

[GATA_Eagles]

Who would have thought a GSU pass play would make SC Top 10? Here's Zach Walker's completion for those of you that missed it:

Not totally sure what happened there.. It wouldn't post and so I tried again and boom they're both up. Oh well.

[gsu2583]

Just got back home after the game in Chattanooga last night. Haven't read the thread YET.

Observations:
UTC has a good offense and and good defense. Better than expected.
Didn't know going into the game that we would be without our #1 AND #2 B-Backs. I think that weighed heavily AGAINST our offense.
The refs did a good job MUCKING up some calls on both sides of the ball.
Huesman is more impressive than Robinson in all aspects of the game.
I'm naming my 3rd child "Zach Walker."
Still hoarse from screaming.
Tull is good, but our blocking was crap, especially in the 3rd quarter.
Special teams jumped up and bit BOTH teams in the ***.
GSU now has a higher Sagarin ranking than Auburn. :)

Who was the #2 B-Back that was out?

As for Tull being more of a factor in the second half, that was a great decision by UTC to get them involved more instead of letting us take them out of the game. I do agree our blocking could have been better though.

Um, Robert Brown?

[klak]

Um, Robert Brown?

He's an A-back now, and has been since late last year.

[eaglewraith]

He's an A-back now, and has been since late last year.

This, he hasn't taken a snap at B-Back since the App State game or so last year.

[gsu2583]

He's an A-back now, and has been since late last year.

I would think, in the absence of Swope, Brown would assume the B-back position before Banks...

[eaglewraith]

Based on what? There's been plenty of opportunities for that to happen this season and Banks/Dean were the ones coming in instead of Brown.

[Ga Southern Eagles]

well chattownmocs was right about chatty being a legit contender... I'm glad to get out of there with a win... If chatty can keep their crap together they are going to have a bright future. On the flip side, there is no way Chatty could get 20k to a home play off game... wouldn't happen if all the tickets were free. 9K or such a huge game shows Chatty has a lot of work to do to grow a fan base, even though they have a large metro population.

[gsu2583]

Sheer experience factor. But whatever, let's fight amongst ourselves after the W..... it was just an opinion.

[eaglewraith]

Sheer experience factor. But whatever, let's fight amongst ourselves after the W..... it was just an opinion.

With our already prevalent fumble issues, if we'd put someone in at B-Back that hadn't taken a snap at the position all year, I'd be mortified at what the results would be. Even with prior experience you still need reps to keep you sharp.

What happened with Seon Jones last night is evidence for that. Seon was supposed to be the backup, but some poor decisions in the preseason led to him being suspended for the first 2 games and gave Banks/Dean the opportunity to step in front of him. They've had enough work as backups to have confidence in them to step in for Swope. B-Back was not the problem last night in any case.

[utcfan]

Get real. I've seen the kid on several game films. He isn't close to being as fast as Edwards or Foster. I'm not much for 40 times, but I can't see him being quicker than 4.8 from my eyes.

4.5 on rivals. HS coach said timed at 4.42 at Baylor High School summer camp. I would have to think no slower than 4.6. I am not claiming he will be a super star in SoCon, but I am thinking 4.8 is a bit slow.

http://rivals.yahoo.com/footballrecruiting/football/recruiting/player-Jacob-Huesman-115143

Regardless of 40 time the Mocs lost.

If UTC takes care of business they "should" be 6-5 at the end of the season. Solid base to build on for next year with 18 starters returning, and 38 of 44 on 2 deep returning. Given the mess Huesman inherited, UTC is in pretty good shape at this point, but has another level to get to.

[gsu_paintballer]

***
In games decided by 3 pts, overtime or less, Chatty is 0-2 this year. 0-4 in 2011, and 0-1 in 2010. I didn't go back any further than that. But that's a tough 3 year stretch.

I'm absolutely terrified about how good UTC will be in the future. They have a great team, and I think they will win the Socon in the next 3-5 years. But until they do, chattown, go home.

None of this will change until they have a new HC

If you are talking hand-held times, throw them out right off the top. The only way to time guys is with track and field Accu-Track type systems (which every school that has track and field has). To say he is 4.42 (which I doubt) would be in Armanti Edwards territory. The film I saw had both Huesman and Robinson playing and Robinson was clearly quicker.

Robinson plays reciever now and he is damn good there. The mocs are better off with huesman at qb and robinson at wr.

[gsu2583]

+1, though I crawled out of my skin when the Robinson to Huesman pass was called complete. I mean, how does the line judge at Huesman's BACK make that call.

[gsu_paintballer]

Agreed on all counts.

[utcfan]

Huesman has played pretty well overall for a FR. I have been pleasantly surprised. I agree TR has been very effective for the Mocs at WR.

As for his speed, his HS has excellent facilities and he may have been timed using an electronic device, but do not know that for a fact. May have been timed on such devices at other times.

In the end, he has been relatively effective with the speed he has and he is helping the team, but UTC did not pick up a "must win" type of game on Saturday.

[Ivytalk]

YEAHHH! Go Eags!

[pike51]

Chatty is def. on to something with both of them on the field at the same time. They are extremely effective with the setup they have right now and I suspect it will only get more impressive. I see some really sick stuff coming from them over the next 2 years.

[chattanoogamocs]

I am just happy that after the near crucifixion (jokes, ridicule, general derision) Coach Huesman received around the SoCon for starting his son, people are starting to realize what Moc fans were talking about in the spring...Jacob has serious skills at QB. He earned his spot with his talent and leadership, not because of his name (if his name wasn't Huesman, there wouldn't have been any discussion at all).

I might be remembering this wrong, but didn't Allison start his son over more qualified candidates? It could be the lingering effects of that causing that criticism.

[longtimemocfan]

You are correct, but Allison was on a fail safe year knowing it was his last as coach. Why not go ahead and let your son go out chucking it LOL. To his son's credit he stayed around after his dad was removed and accepted a position as a role player and did very well.

Most SoCon fans were equating it with Kye Hamilton at Elon (quite frankly, UTC was so bad towards the end with Allison, it didn't even really matter who the starting QB was, they were all pretty bad)

Nothing like this, for sure...

FRESHMAN OF THE WEEK: Jacob Huesman, Chattanooga, Fr., QB, Chattanooga, Tenn.
Freshman Jacob Huesman rushed 26 times for a season-high 170 yards and two touchdowns in Chattanooga's 39-31, triple-overtime loss to second-ranked Georgia Southern. Huesman's 170 yards were the second-most rushing yards in a game by a freshman at UTC. He also completed 11 of 20 passes for 102 yards and a touchdown. It was the second time this season Huesman passed for and ran for 100 yards in the same game. He also caught one pass for 16 yards and accounted for 288 yards of total offense in the loss.

[The Eagle's Cliff]

Very impressed with Huesman, but I can't help being unimpressed with the Eagle's D the last two years when dealing with a passing QB who can run.
