No. 23 Mocs Football Runs Away With 31-7 Victory at The Citadel
GoMocs- The 23rd-ranked Chattanooga Mocs football team used a dominating rushing attack and forced three turnovers to help secure a comfortable 31-7 victory at The Citadel during Southern Conference action on Saturday afternoon inside Johnson Hagood Stadium in Charleston, S.C.
Following the win, Chattanooga improves to 6-4 overall and 5-2 inside SoCon action while keeping its FCS Playoffs hopes alive. The Citadel drops to 4-6 overall and 2-5 in the league after the defeat.
Chattanooga racked up 231 yards on the ground during the victory while featuring a pair of 100-yard rushers in Reggie Davis (115) and Justus Durant (103). The defense continued its abundance of takeaways this season with three in total, two via fumble recoveries and one on an interception, marking the team’s 16th INT of the year.
“We played like we were capable of playing. We made them do some things. They gave us one we had never seen on the very first play, and that was the longest play of the day,” said head coach Rusty Wright after the game.
“But I thought those guys settled in and did a phenomenal job and played like they were capable of playing. That’s what you have to do. Defense travels. We’ve got to play that way on the road and do those things. Super proud of those kids and those coaches.”
