The Chattanooga Mocs have declared a WHITEOUT for the 2014 football home opener against Jacksonville State on Saturday, Sept. 6, at Finley Stadium. White-on-white uniforms, plenty of giveaways and WHITEOUT T-shirts are sure to enhance an exciting showdown against the sixth-ranked Gamecocks.
Fans are encouraged to wear white to the game, or pick up one of the thousands of free white T-shirts at the gate.
Kickoff is set for 6:00 p.m. (E.D.T.) as the Mocs bring their highest preseason ranking ever into the contest.
Chattanooga checks in at No. 14 in the Sports Network top-25 and No. 16 in the FCS Coaches Poll. The Jacksonville State game marks just the fourth time two ranked teams have met at Finley Stadium in the regular season.
