Late Field Goal Lifts Mocs to Win


CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) — Victor Ulmo gave Chattanooga the lead on a 30-yard field goal with 14 seconds left and the Mocs stayed undefeated in Southern Conference play with a 16-13 win over East Tennessee State on Thursday night.

The Buccaneers (2-5, 0-4) scored all their points in the second quarter. Trey Mitchell connected with Will Huzzie for a 32-yard TD pass and Tyler Keltner kicked field goals from 29 and 43 yards to make it 13-7.

Quay Holmes ran for 81 yards and Huzzie caught six passes for 75 yards for East Tennessee State.
