Head football coach Dennis Wagner and Chattanooga head football coach Russ Huesman participated in the SoCon Head Football Coaches Teleconference this morning.   Coach Wagner discussed last Saturday's home game with Elon and the upcoming road game at Chattanooga.

"Both teams had some turnovers that made it kind of a sloppy ball game, but both teams played hard for four quarters and it came down to the last drive," Wagner said of the WCU/Elon game. "We made a decent goal line stand but late in the drive on third down, we miss a coverage and a guy is open in the end zone and they go up. We got the ball back with two minutes, and with our offense, that's plenty of time. We didn't want to panic, but made a bad decision and threw an interception and that was the end of the game."

“We’re playing a team that’s scary,” Coach Huesman said of the Catamounts. “Obviously, they’re like us – their backs are against the wall. I don’t think they’re getting enough credit for how well they’re playing offensively. Their quarterback is throwing the ball well. They’ve got skill kids that can beat you. Whether you’re in the pistol, the spread, whether you’re in the I, it’s all about executing and they’ve been executing pretty well offensively.”
