Chattown, I will disregard the rest of your post and simply state that you are the worst winner on this board. Congrats just the same on your success (as I said all the way back this summer, you need to win the games that matter, which up until this year, the Mocs had not done). The reason Im laughing now is that simply put, you dont realize that you make yourself look like a douchebag (reusing your word) with your attitude. If you simply accepted congratulations and didnt use so much cursing even in countering statements by other posters, UTC fans might actually come to your defense and the rest of the community here would have a LOT more respect for you. Well done to UTC, but you need to seriously take a class in manners.

Chattanooga has used a 6 game SOCON winning streak(almost unheard of) to capture at least a share of the SOCON crown. Today despite a depleted defense missing 3 LBs the Mocs defense rose to the occasion and found their championship form. GTFO bitch.

I don't like to admit it, but there is something to this. With App and GSU leaving/gone, it seems nobody gives a rat's ass about the SoCon anymore. The 2 strongest teams over the past several years are leaving and it immediately drops the entire conference from a top tier to a mid tier level. Fair or not, Chattanooga, Wofford, Furman, and the rest are going to have to prove they can effectively replace GSU and App on a NATIONAL basis, not just within the conference because the perceived image of the conference has declined.

If you call red shirting and holding back 25 to 30 incoming recruits so that they can build up for the FBS next year declining, then yes.
Basically out of the best recruiting class in the FCS App only played one or two freshman recruits. Only a position or two where they had no choice. It was a painful decision they made this past summer, but one they thought necessary in order to compete adequately well next year in FBS since the 2013 recruiting period had already ended when we took the Sun Belt invitation. So basically App State and GaSo both lost their senior classes, both of which had multiple players now playing in the NFL, and have no freshman class playing this year. Normally a school would take an extra year to recruit, but the Sun Belt demanded it be done that way in order to have enough teams for a conference championship game. So you lose your senior class and have no freshmen. So basically if any school on this board thinks they can do really well with 1/2 their team, good for you.

I was told GSU only had 57 bodies they could dress a couple of weeks ago due to injuries, and that they were basically playing with a division 2 schollie limit. I don't know if that is still the case but that certainly explains a lot.

There's not a team in the division that could withstand the losses GSU had on their two deep this year and still maintain a top 5 level of performance. By the time they played Furman I can think of 8 projected starters out of 22 that were not starting that game, which included all americans Swope and McKinnon.

Kinda reminds me of what happened to Wofford in 2009...

That is a fact, and there'll be a few less on the sideline this weekend as well due to injuries sustained in the WCU game. To PC's point, on the surface the statement sounds ludicrous - but when you add the injuries to the mix we have an overly youthful/inexperienced lineup.

Injuries are a different story. I can understand why that would be a killer to a FCS->FBS transitional team trying to position itself for the future but to say you can't compete because you don't have any freshmen is just silly.

Chattanooga redshirts almost their entire freshman class every year. Last year we played 1, this year it was 2. This is the practice of many FCS teams. 2-8 is a sharp decline but your program was going in reverse less severely before this year.

Chattanooga is missing major, major pieces and they continue to roll. Just starters alone that missed the Wofford game, 2 starting LBs, All Socon DT(out for the year), starting RB, starting LT. A contributing reserve LB was out, a contributing reserve CB is out for the year. A contributing DE from last year and another DE expected to contribute is out. That's not 28 guys of course(Georgia Southern is trying to cheat the system clearly) but that's probably more key guys. Notice particularly on defense, and Wofford scored 10 points.

Wasn't just the incoming class being red shirted but any Tom, Dick and Harry they could. Then any medical red shirts as well.
No teams red shirt like that unless they have a reason to do so. The SoCon voted to not let App State and GaSo participate in
the SoCon championship. They basically didn't want to do anything except use them this year. Could say the same thing about
the Sun Belt using them, waiting until after the recruiting season to extend an offer, but wanting the two schools participating in
the Sun Belt conference race next year with an intention of having enough teams to conduct a conference championship game.
Having to give scholarships to any walk on that could breath just to get the scholarship numbers to where the NCAA wanted them
is another thing that other schools didn't have to do.

Chattanooga does it every year. Even the guys we know will be stars. Every All Socon player we have has a redshirt on them. Davis Tull, Jacob Huesman, Terrell Robinson, Wes Dothard, DJ Key, Kadeem Wise were all redshirted.

Actually just the opposite. Too many freshmen - true or RS - has been the bigger of the problems. Add to that the coaches' desire to get some of the 'better' freshmen more snaps in readying them for the FCS > FBS transition next year, and you have the recipe for a down year.

We lost to Furman with Jerick McKinnon playing gimpy for only a half and with our fourth string fullback. So basically, without our all-American fullback and one of the best offensive players in the FCS who will likely get an NFL combine invite. In terms of volume and impact players your injuries do not compare to ours.

We are arguably even worse off than that 2011 Eastern Washington team that had a ton of talent and got snake bit and went 6-5.

If we could have McKinnon and Swope healthy for the entire season then even with all of the other injuries we would lose at most 2 conference games.

6-5 (2010)

6-5 (2012)

Not to mention the combined 18-38 UTC went the previous 5 years.

I wouldn't categorize whatever is going on with UTC as either "rising" or "climbing." Both of those words would, to me, indicate some sort of sustained improvement over a few years at least. Realistically, UTC is like a fish (such as a Brim) flopping around on the dock after you caught it. It might pop up here and there, but mostly it's just writhing around on the deck before it dies.

Once Southern and App leave the conference, that leaves Chattanooga and Western Carolina (and ETSU, dear Lord) as the only public schools in a conference that is filled with private schools/service academies. You will likely get a bunch of recruits, in the future, that (given the choice) would have rather gone to GSU or App, so your on-field performance MAY improve over time. When that happens, you may say that you are rising, but really you will only be doing it in the power-vacuum that is the SoCon without GSU and App.

I wouldn't categorize whatever is going on with UTC as either "rising" or "climbing." Both of those words would, to me, indicate some sort of sustained improvement over a few years at least. Realistically, UTC is like a fish (such as a Brim) flopping around on the dock after you caught it. It might pop up here and there, but mostly it's just writhing around on the deck before it dies.

I believe y'all are 2 games better in conference play since 2010 even with your 1 point, 3OT, and severely tainted 2 point win. Its not our fault Georgia Southern plays a cupcake non conference slate while chattanooga plays top regional FCS, and top national FBS schedules.

GSU hasn't been beating us for anymore recruits than we have them. Our recent recruiting is clearly better given how our team has handled major injuries vs your scrub club. I that 2012 class was supposed to be all-world. We all knew this 2013 class was garbage.

Hahahahaha! You got beat by a "scrub club!"

Er, I mean, beat by the REFs.

You'll have to forgive him. He thinks Davis Tull is the best player in the FCS so his perception is a little skewed.

Davis Tull is the best player in FCS. He'll be back next year as well. Along with the rest of this excellent Dline, if Lott gets a medical redshirt the Mocs will be 10 deep with the best dline talent in FCS.

This was always gonna be the beginning of the greatness of Chattanooga football. This was the year of Russ Huesmans patchwork first recruiting class that produced Wes Dothard, Gunner Miller, Kadeem wise and DJ Key. This their 5th year and the have been producing their whole careers. The offense was a year behind, now it has caught up and will be back with 10 starters including every skill player and the all american tight end. 4 starters on the Oline will return Including 2 4 year starters and a 3 year guy.

The defense will plug holes in its excellent back 7. Proven freshman Cedric Nettles, Dee Virgin, and will Johnson will step in for socon stalwarts Key, wise, and Moore in the secondary and actually upgrade the talent level. These guys have great players to Tudor them and teach them how to win games, something these seniors didn't have when they arrived. Nakevion Leslie and Muhasibi Wakeel will step in at LB for Miller and Dothard. Leslie and Wakeel have earned Socon top honors in recent weeks.

This was always Chattanooga's time. It almost happened years early but Huesmans 5 year plan has cashed in a major way and the chattanooga dominance is here and would continue whether GSU and ASU left or not.

What excuse do I need when your team is near the bottom of the conference and mine is at a championship level? Put 2010 an * by that 2010 semifinal. We actually beat your ass that year and finished with the same conference record, and deserved to be in the playoffs over you. This year it isn't even close even with your severely tainted win.

Let's see... over the past 3 years GSU has played OOC foes Navy, 2010 MEAC champ SC State, 2010 CAA champ William and Mary, 2010 national runner-up Delaware, Maine, CAA champ ODU twice, SEC & FBS national champion Alabama, MWVC and national champ NDSU twice, Southland champ Central Arkansas, and SEC East champ Georgia along with the lesser OOC opponents. I doubt there is another team in FCS that has faced that many playoff and FBS ranked teams in that period.

Heck, in 2012 GSU played SoCon co-champ App, SEC East champ Georgia, Southland champ Central Arkansas, CAA champ ODU, and MWVC & national champ NDSU in the last 6 games... which if memory serves correctly gave GSU the toughest schedule faced in the final Sagarin ratings.

Tull at his current career number (26.5 based on gomocs.com) will need 15.5 sacks in 14 remaining games to equal the FCS career record for sacks (42), which equates to just over 1.1 sacks per game (1.107142857142857 to be completely precise). In short, he can go maybe 2 more games without a sack and still have a chance at the record without having to have a multiple sack game to keep pace

Gonna be hard to do in the SoCon going forward... it is still a running league and appears that will be the case even with App and GSU leaving. Don't forget one of his remaining games is against Alabama too. It looks like he's going to need some playoff games to get there.... and seeing where Chatty hasn't won a playoff game in any of their players' lifetimes it doesn't look too promising.

Actually, he watched multiple sacks on TV this year from NFL games. Those are just as valuable as if he had gotten a sack himself. So therefore, he has to have 30 or 40 something total sacks right?

Maybe chattown counts his sacks like this. He was at the game and saw Tull get 2 sacks, then he listened to the post game on the radio and they talked about the two sacks, then later that night he saw the news cast and they highlighted the two sacks, so he adds them up and Tull got 6 sacks that game in his mind.

As I said before this was the year for UTC to win it, if they will. If App had not been so poorly coached and awful this year then UTC would have 5 losses this year, which I said they would lose 4 or 5. Nobody in the SoCon is real good this year. I personally won't be voting any of them in the top 20 of my poll this week. Wofford showed today how bad they are and that Nate Woody was able to outsmart his previous team pretty well. Furman has gotten better but if they are co-champs with UTC and Samford that just shows how bad the league is this year. Nobody in the SoCon except for WCU is just completely awful as a team but nobody is really good either. There is a lot of individual talent though and I think that if Samford replaces their top 4 players with someone any good then there should be 3 real good teams next year. (UTC, Samford, Wofford) I think Wofford improves for sure and UTC is definitely going to be solid as long as they replace their 4 All-SoCon defenders with capable players.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Chatty has now pizzed away the auto bid and has no victory over a team with a winning record; so no auto bid + no quality wins + a prison rape at the hands of Alabama looming = the streak of futility and playoff absences continues.

I said it was possible and had App been any good this year you would have lost to them and you would be 2nd place, just like I said. You guys will be co-champs but I don't think you will get the autobid. You need some help to get it. You said you would sweep the league and win the autobid. You said you were a top 10 team so you aren't 100% right either. I said you would finish in 2nd place, 3rd at worst. If Samford or Furman gets the autobid then it looks like you will be the #2 or #3 team, which would be dead on.

Legit question to many people out there. Does UTC get in the playoffs at 8-4 as co-champs and #2 in the league? I think they should get in but will they? I think there are 3-4 teams with auto bids who aren't better than UTC and I would say UTC should be about 20-24 in the polls so they are worthy of the playoffs but if UTC does not get the autobid you guys may be out. I think as of today, including the autobids, you guys, UT Martin, Tenn State, UNH, Jacksonville State, and Delaware would be considered for the last two spots. You lost to UT Martin so I would take them and then it would be down to you, TSU, and JSU in my opinion as to who the last team would be.

You actually predicted that we would be 6-6 or 7-5. Stop fabricating. If App State was as good the rest of the year as they were against us they wouldn't be 3-8. That was their best game against us in the Huesman era. Definitely offensively.

The committee has repeatedly stated that a loss is a loss, and that there is no quality loss... and if your best wins are over a pair of 5 loss teams you have nothing to hang your hat on.

To expand on that I mean that if your team was as good as you say you could lose a couple key players for a few games (or the rest of the season) and still win the big games. I can point to one team that just played for the conference championship today w/o 2 of their best defensive players and still put an 18 point beating on another team who was rated 15th in the nation. UTC on the other hand while rated 17/18 lost to an unrated team and may have lost themselves the auto bid (or any bid) at a post-season run.

Point being good teams find ways to win. UTC has yet to prove to me that they can find that will to win the big games.

We won 6 straight big games, many of them Without multiple key guys. Our backs were against the wall multiple times and responded in a big way every time, including tonight. I don't think the character of an entire football team can be soley judged on a placekicker clanking a 30 yarder in OT. Chattanooga was an inheritantly flawed offense tonight. They are a power running team that was missing by far their best back, and their QB who is a master of the read option and qb draw was very limited in his mobility. He toughed it out and delivered probably the best passing performance of his career. It was enough to drive the ball deep into Samford territory almost every time but when Samford was able to play tighter coverage and didn't have to respect the QBs option to keep the ball, they got stops down there.

Do you ever get tired of hearing yourself?

If Furman gets the auto bid, it will be because it was earned. Furman will have gone 6-2 in the conference (just like UTC). They will have beaten both teams that beat UTC (you may forget we thrashed Samford last week, the same team UTC struggled to do anything against).

Furman has lost 5 games. In three of them, our starting quarterback never played (you think UTC would have its record if Husemann never saw the field in three games?). In two conference games, our fourth string quarterback started (a guy who was wearing the headset in week one). One of our losses was on the road to a top 10 Coastal Carolina by seven. The other was against LSU in Baton Rouge.

UTC's a good team, but Furman didn't back into this position. In my view, Bruce Fowler is SoCon coach of the year regardless of what happens against Wofford.

They are a power running team that was missing by far their best back, and their QB who is a master of the read option and qb draw was very limited in his mobility. He toughed it out and delivered probably the best passing performance of his career. It was enough to drive the ball deep into Samford territory almost every time but when Samford was able to play tighter coverage and didn't have to respect the QBs option to keep the ball, they got stops down there.

I bolded this because while it is laudable, you had a chance to make it 7 and win the first outright conference championship since 1984 (also the only time UTC went to the playoffs) and you couldn't get over the top. UTC is improving but they still haven't gotten to the top of the mountain.

Wofford and Furman are both quality wins. The quality and manner of Chattanooga's losses will be taken into account. Just as will the fact that they won 6 of their last 7 FCS games. Samford will probably get the nod based on head-to-head but they also may not.

You need Wofford to win to have 2 wins over teams with a winning record. If Furman wins, you only have 1 win over a team with a winning record. None of the teams you have beaten are going to be in the playoffs in that case, so you have no wins over playoff competition. 2 of the teams you beat haven't won a game this entire season.

You've lost each game you played against playoff caliber teams. You will finish the season with a 2 game losing streak which is terrible for your at large hopes.

There is nothing laughable about it. Its statement of fact. Chattanooga knew they needed to win out making all 7 games big games. They got 6 of them and came up a few inches left tonight. Getting 6 may be enough, it may not be. Regardless they are champs.

Everyone should just let Chatty win so they can get into the playoffs and be beaten down by the Bison. Score should be 60 something to 3. Maybe, just maybe chattmocs will stuff realizing Chatty is no where near a playoff team. I would also be open to substitutions of EW, SHSU, and SUI for the Bison. Any of these teams would kick Chatty back to reality.

Wofford 5-5 (If Wofford loses they finish 5-6, so not a winning record)
Furman 6-5 (If Furman loses, they finish 6-6 so not above .500)
Citadel 5-6 (Playing Clemson to end the season, high loss likelihood so 5-7 final record)
App State 3-8 (Closing with WCU, so probably 4-8)

So Furman is the only good team at this point, and a possibility they finish with an even record which doesn't exactly excite the committee.

I'm not sure you understand what a good team is. If its based on solely on record, chattanooga must be pretty damn good.

Theyll look at both. THey will look at your record, but in looking at it they will ask "Ok, UTC is 8-4. Who were their 8 wins against?" Then they will analyze your opponents:

Georgia State: FBS team...very bad FBS team. eh give em a bit of a bump since they are FBS
Austin Peay: Winless FCS...not a good win
Western Carolina: Not a good team...improving but still not great
Furman: Good win, but only in the sense that the Paladins are better now than they were at the time when they didnt have their best player...(upward bump if FU wins the autobid)
Elon: Not a good team...game the Mocs should win and they did
The Citadel: Good win but we really can't bump them up much because of how underwhelming they have performed...not to mention they had to rally in the 4th quarter to do it
Appalachian State: Really not as good a win as it could have been...
Wofford: Like App State, not as good a win as it could have been

THen they look at the losses

UT-Martin: Not a good loss
Georgia Southern: This was UTC's real big chance at a statement win here...the Eagles have dominated this series and UTC should have stopped them in the 4th
Samford: This was a big one for them...outright conference championship was on the line and they missed bigtime
Alabama: Really can't fault UTC for losing this one, the Tide are the #1 team in all of the FBS so a loss here was expected

Nice!

As a resident of Tuscaloosa, a professional staff member at the University of Alabama, and a season ticket holder, I am definitely going to this game. A lot of folks around here only see this game as a tune up for Auburn ( and may all Barners burn in hell.) But this game is so much more than that. This is a soul-crushing, bone-crunching, Tull-stomping matchup with playoff implications.

Gentlemen, I know a lot of America has gotten tired of Alabama and the Dark Lord Saban, but for this week, an only this week, I implore you all, if/when you comment on this thread, please, close all your posts on UTC with a "Roll Tide!" If you say it enough you can curry favor with the Dark Lord that may help YOUR team this week.

That being said, I sincerely hope that Chattown comes to visit for the game. Tuscaloosa is the mental health Capitol of Alabama (no joke, at one point there were 4 facilities here.) He has an open invitation/reservation at the Taylor-Hardin Secure Medical Facility.

Or, Chattown, you can come by my place. I live about a mile from Bryant Denny, and my 4 year old daughter can poke holes in your arguments/logic.

UTM is not a bad win. They may be ranked when the regular season is done but the GSU loss sticks out. Had I know App was going to melt down and GSU was going to be plagued with injury I would have picked UTC to only lose 2 games this year, Samford and Alabama. They ended up losing to UTM and a bad GSU team. I would actually put UTC in the field as the 23rd or 24th team in but I would put them in. 8-4 in the SoCon, CAA, Big Sky, or MVFC deserves to be in over 8-3 from the MEAC, 9-2 at-large from the NEC, or a 2nd team in the Patriot League right now.

I've seen Elon in person twice - not good at all. Unless Samford really plays terrible, they beat Elon by at least 17.

Elon isn't as awful as we've seen some teams in the SoCon be. They aren't getting embarrassed out there, but they aren't really challenging either. Furman managed 255 yards passing on them with our fourth string true freshman. That's kind of hard to believe, actually.

The good news for Furman, though, is that Samford has something to play for. I'd be more concerned if this were one of those bowl games where motivated underdog plays pouty favorite and beats them. Samford has every incentive to beat Elon into next Tuesday.

looks like the Wofford/Furman game will decide Chatts fate, Woffords really, really beat up, by the 3rd quarter of the App game, they had lost alot of starters, plus they have nothing to play for, and Furman has everything, still Ayers is the best coach in the SC, if there is anyone that can get his team ready, its him.

If either Furman(not much of a favorite against wofford) or Samford(could very well lose) lose, Chattanooga will make it. If not, they probably won't. Although projecting the playoff field as if their will be no upsets among borderline teams is silly.

Fate is a fickle mistress to chattownmocs.

What happened to the "No way Chattanooga doesn't make it" stuff? C'mon Chattown, you're slipping!

If that scenario does play out, where Samford and Furman both win, it really got me thinking about the season on the whole. Some innocuous plays over the course of a season (mostly field goals) may have turned the fortunes of a single team.

Yep. And think about lack of kicking game and it's effect on Georgia Southern last season. If we could kick FG's, I think we beat Citadel and Appy and host the semis instead of travelling to Fargo. Just goes to show that a few made FG's can go a long, long way.

I do think that has given Furman a massive advantage in games thus far this season. Furman is not great on offense, but the defense creates turnovers, and they don't have to score touchdowns to put points on the board consistently. That'll win football games.

This went relatively unnoticed this week, but Furman's Ray Early hit 6 field goals in the win over Western, setting a Furman record. Many said that he would have been 7 for 7, but the SoCon refs (typically) missed the call. Early is without question the SoCon's top kicker and is a huge reason Furman is in its current position.

If your offense has to only get to about the 30 yard line to score, it puts a lot of pressure on a defense.

Why wouldn't we be? Other than Chatty going 0 fer, this may work out as the perfect storm with them sitting at home after having a fairly good year.

I'm feeling rather positive and nostalgic. I'm not going to try and convince anyone that this team can play with the top tier seeds. I will say, this team is very gritty, They had to be a different football team on Saturday. They had to change their identity on offense. With Keon Williams out and Huesman hobbled they couldn't be a power running team. But time and time again the drives would stall in Samford territory. Samford was struggling even more to move the ball offensively, but they found the big play, we couldn't hit it. But you just knew, even down 14-0 in the 4th, there was still a run. Our guys made it and I'm proud of them for making it. We need some help but it ain't over yet.

If you had taken this same approach earlier, I think it would have come across much better. Chattanooga is a very good football team. Nobody disputes that. However, for some reason, they just haven't gotten over the hump. If Furman loses and Chatty wins the auto-bid, that might just be the "break" they needed to get on the other side and start what could become a dominate run in the SoCon. But if Furman wins and Chatty is left on the outside looking in, it could spell disaster for the program as a whole.

Granted, even with a Furman win, there is a possibility that Chatty gets a bid. How much of a chance I honestly don't know. The FCS football world thinks the SoCon is down (way down) this year and it could very well be a 1 bid league. Things will play out the way they do.

On a side note... as much as I like the more humble Chattown, this thread has been a lot of fun. It's good to see someone with that much faith in their team who is willing to go down with the ship. I'm glad you've stuck it out this season and even if you don't make the playoffs, please don't go into hiding. You'll gain a lot of respect back around here sticking around, taking your lumps and getting ready to do it all over again next year. Honestly, I'm looking forward to the Chattanooga, who's laughing now 2014 thread as soo as the season ends for them this year, whenever that may be. :)

I don't think its disastrous for the program if we dont make the playoffs. It was a step forward. You could argue that improving so quickly yet not attaining a conference championship for so long should have been disastrous. Losing all of those crazy close games could have been disastrous. But the fact remains, Russ Huesman is a good xs and os coach, and also a good recruiter. Where we lose guys there are a lot of good looking young guys already stepping up.

Was this thread way off has from the beginning? I don't know, I still think Chattanooga is a legit team. I don't think they are weak. They are vulnerable to a loss, but they just aren't going to get embarrassed very often. They really are a very solid team that with real talent that can match up with just about everybody. I may have been further from reality than the haters. It ain't over yet though.

What you have to see that everyone has tried to point out to you is that Chattanooga has a history of having a very capable team but not the ability to make it over the hump. 1984 is the last time Chatty made the playoffs. 1984. Let that sink in for a minute. Since 1984, Chattanooga has had many outstanding players who by all means would be considered top 5 talent in the FCS. They've had teams capable of winning a national title on paper, but they haven't been able to make it happen. No doubt Chattanooga on paper was possibly the top of the SoCon this season, however, they've managed to leave it in doubt when it matters. Now, they could end up with the auto-bid but it shouldn't have been close (on paper and according to you). That's what our point from day 1 of this thread has been... doesn't matter how good they should be, it's how good are they in the win/loss column. Nobody cares what the excuses are, you either win or lose the games and at the end of the day, that is all that matters. Could Chattanooga hang with someone like NDSU? Possibly. But based on history, they won't get that far so it's a moot point. They have to get over that hump.

As for disaster if they fail to make the playoffs, maybe not on the surface... but deep inside where nobody can see, Chattanooga will be hurting. Because the best shot they had at this thing since 1984 just slipped away (again). The inability to put all the pieces together builds and frustrations set in. Right now, Chattanooga is a great team who can't get over that hump. Another year of no playoffs will just add fuel to that fire. Making the field will go a long way in changing that "tradition."

This coming Saturday will be very interesting in the long run of Chattanooga... not just for this season, but for the program's direction and mentality in the coming years.
