Mercer off

Others of note:

Tenn Tech @ Tenn. (11:00)

NC A&T is off.

Not sure I know anything about Cornell, but this is their home opener. Hopefully VMI can get a win against an Ivey opponent.

KSU and Wofford have matched up a bunch recently. KSU opened the season against down division Reinhardt (usually a good program), and had trouble putting them away, only winning by 10. The Owls then got beat soundly by a not-very-good Georgia Tech team.

That'd be a nice win for the SoCon. It would help keep Kennesaw from lurking on the outside of the playoff conversation as an at large. I don't think we know much about Wofford yet.

The Citadel has looked awful so far, but hopefully they can manage against North Greenville. ETSU should handle Delaware State.

First conference game of the year is WCU/Samford in Cullowhee. Samford had a good opener and looked bad last week against UT-M. Not sure we know much about WCU yet.

The Citadel is terrible and NGU has a veteran squad and a very good quarterback. Look for another bad loss for the Bulldogs down in Charleston.

I have this feeling the Citadel is going to go 1-10 and beat us 26-13

KY 14 Chatty 13 after 3 Q.

Alymm Ford is the real deal.

UTC may lose, but they are as good as Kentucky. This isn’t a fluky kind of game. It is starting to look like the SoCon is as good as the bottom SEC teams. That’s just crazy.

I think the issue with UTC isn't their running back, they just can't seem to get consistent at QB.

Right now it doesn’t matter. They are running all over Kentucky. The passing game has been hindered by drops and just now a lucky deflection that prevented the go head TD. So they settled for a go ahead field goal.

How wild would it be for the SoCOn to be 2-0 v the SEC East

Terrible decision by the Copeland.

UTC just did the one thing FCS teams cannot afford to do - make a critical error late.

They should have stuck with the ground game. Stupid Stupid Stupid throw by QB! Stupid play call!

On the downside, the Mocs finally realized who their best QB was (and it wasn't the guy they had been playing)

I'm a little uneasy that UTC has yellow numbers on the back and front, and blue on the shoulders.

The Chattanooga coach is a real piece of work. I’ve witnessed him getting in the face of his coaches, grabbing his players by the jersey, screaming at them. Totally uncalled for. What an a**.
