College Football: Chattanooga Remains Undefeated with Victory Against Samford

The Chattanooga Mocs are off to a hot start following their victory against the Samford Bulldogs on Saturday Night. The Mocs kept the Samford offense from breaking through to the end zone during the first quarter and scored often throughout the remainder of the game earn a 4-0 record.

Bryce Nunnelly started off the scoring for the Mocs with a 55-yard pass from Nick Tiano who would break through and put the Mocs on the board 6-0. A successful P.A.T put the Mocs up 7-0 early. The Mocs would tack on two more touchdowns (and extra points) before the Samford Bulldogs were able to tack on their first points of the night.

Samford's DeMarcus Ware pushed through the defense to give Samford their first touchdown of the evening but they would still trail the Mocs 17-10 heading into halftime.

The Mocs defense was strong in the third quarter holding Samford to a lone field goal with 08:42 remaining in the third. Chattanooga would tack on one more touchdown and a field goal in the third to put them up 27-13.

Samford would attempt to mount a comeback in the fourth with a 17 yard touchdown pass from Devlin Hodges to Chris Shelling would put the Bulldogs within a touchdown and extra point of tying the game but that is how it would end as the Mocs racked up their fourth straight victory of the 2018 season and fifth straight since 2017. It would be the fifth straight victory against the Samford Bulldogs for the Mocs.

The UTC Mocs travel to Johnson City, Tennessee to face the East Tennessee State Buccaneers on Saturday, September 29th. The Buccaneers are coming off a victory against Furman. The teams only loss came at Neyland Stadium against the Tennessee Vols earlier this month.

UTC defeated East Tennessee State in 2017 10-3 in a season-ending contest. UTC has defeated East Tennessee the last two times the two have competed. The game will be live on ESP+ at 7:30 p.m. ET.
