Mocs Trying to Land Perfect SoCon Record For First Time in School History

Chattanooga-(WDEF) The Chattanooga Mocs can reach nine victories this weekend for the first time since the disco days of 1979.

But more importantly, a victory over Furman would give UTC a six game winning streak heading into the playoffs.
   With a win over Furman, Chattanooga can go undefeated in SoCon play for the first time in school history.
Said defensive back Sema’je Kendall,"That makes us the top dog. Undisputed champions of the SoCon. That’s a great feeling to have."
Said offensive lineman Corey Levin,"You don’t want anyone to feel like they beat the champs."
Added head coach Russ Huesman,"I think the big thing is, we also want to win, so maybe we can get a seed in the playoffs."
   Top eight seeds get a first round bye and a home game.
Regardless of the seeding, the Mocs selection show party will be much different this year since they already know they’ve clinched a playoff spot.
Said Kendall,"They set us up to look like we were going to get picked to get into the playoffs. They made us cheer like we had just gotten picked. I’m thinking, oh yeah, ESPN is fixing to pick us. They know what’s about to happen. Then they didn’t call our name. I just sat there like, did they really just do that?"
Reporter-"If ESPN tells ya’ll to cheer again, will you do it?"
Said Kendall,"I’m going to be jumping and doing back-flips. They can’t forget us this time. There ain’t no way they are going to leave us out of it this time."
Reporter-"How many back-flips can you do?"
"Well with my knee right now, I can probably get a cart-wheel in. But hey."
Said Huesman,"Right now it’s not a joy of making the playoffs. We’re not just happy to be in the playoffs no matter where we are, whether we are seeded, or we play on Thanksgiving weekend. It makes no difference. We are going into this thing to win the whole thing." 
UTC and Furman kick in Greenville, South Carolina at 3:30pm on Saturday.
