Mocs Get a Later Start For Spring Practice

Chattanooga-(WDEF-TV) The Mocs football team opened spring practice this week.

Mocs looking to bounce back after a bit of a down year last season, finishing with a 5-7 record.

Normally, UTC would be finished with spring drills by now.

They used to start the first of February.

But head coach Rusty Wright felt he needed to push the start of practice back.

Wright:”After going through last year and being as young as we were, I thought it was more important for us to stay in the weight room longer. Give these guys a chance to change their bodies a little bit.”
