It's week #10 in the SoCon, and time to pick Saturday's games.

The Mocs travel to Spartanburg to meet the Terriers, and hoping for another upset.  Unfortunately for UTC, the short haired dogs continue to ground out yardage, and wins picking up a 27-14 victory at home.

The Cats travel to the SC lowcounrty to meet the Bulldogs in Charleston. The dogs are riding a two-game win streak, while the Cats are coming off a disappointing loss to Furman in Cullowhee. The Cats rebound, handing the dogs their third home loss of the season, 28-24.


Samford (5-3, 3-2 SoCon) at Mercer (4-4, 3-3 SoCon)  3:00 pm EDT - watch on ESPN3
The Bulldogs travel to Macon hoping to keep their playoff hopes alive, however, the home-standing Bears have other ideas and want to play spoiler over the nationally ranked dogs. Samford chokes, and the Bears win by 3.

The Keydets visit the new Buc football stadium, where they receive a rude reception by the Bucs in the form of a 3 touchdown loss to ETSU, 35-14.
