Charleston, S.C. – The Citadel Football team will travel to Chattanooga, Tenn., to take on the No. 17 Chattanooga Mocs for their second consecutive Southern Conference road matchup of the 2011 season on Saturday, Oct. 1. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. at Finley Stadium.

The Matchup: The Citadel and Chattanooga will meet for the 45th time in the programs' histories on Saturday. The series between the Bulldogs and Mocs dates back to 1926 with Chattanooga leading the series, 26-16-2 overall and 16-5-1 when playing in Tennessee. The most recent Bulldog win in Chattanooga took place on Sept. 29, 2007 in a 41-16 Bulldog victory. That victory marked a three-game win streak for the Bulldogs against the Mocs. Since then, The Citadel has lost the last two games against Chattanooga.

Last Week: The Citadel (1-2 overall; 0-2 SoCon) is coming off a heartbreaking 18-15 overtime loss at Elon in a game that came down to field goal kicking on Sept. 24. Tied 15-15 at the end of regulation, Bulldog kicker Ryan Sellers was unable to match an Adam Schreiner 33-yard field goal when he missed one from 37 yards to end the game in overtime.

Chattanooga (2-2 overall; 0-1 SoCon) is also coming off a close conference road loss at No. 3 Appalachian State last Saturday. Ahead 6-0 with 1:55 left in the third quarter, the Moc defense blanked the Mountaineer offense, but ASU rallied to score two touchdowns, both of which were scored by the Mountaineer defense, before UTC fell in a heartbreaking finale, 14-12.
