Catamounts Fall on the Road at UT-Chattanooga 39-21 By Ryan Sarda * WCnewsmagazine In their meeting with Chattanooga Moccasins, the Cats fell on the road, 39-21, losing their 12th straight on the road and their 11th consecutive Southern Conference game. In the second half, the Catamounts were able to record over 200 yards of offense and put 21 points on the scoreboard. However, it was too little too late as their sluggish first half led to their demise against the Mocs. By the end of the third quarter, the Catamounts pulled within 11 at 32-21, following a four-yard run by sophomore Willie Harper. The Catamount defense forced a Moccasin punt in the fourth quarter, and they had an opportunity to climb back into the contest. However, red-shirt freshman Adam Hearns threw his second interception of the night to UT-Cs Joseph Thornton. Thornton returned the ball to the one-yard line, taking away any momentum that the Catamounts had built. With 8:35 left in the fourth quarter, Chattanoogas Erroll Wynn scored on a one-yard run to seal the deal for the Mocs. Despite the loss, senior running back Mike Malone made school history when he became the second Catamount to surpass 2,000 career kickoff return yards. He accomplished the feat on his fourth kickoff return in the first quarter. Offensively, Western was carried at center by Hearns, who made just his second career start. Following an impressive showing against Elon the previous week, Hearns finished this game 17-of-40 for 265 yards and one touchdown. He also threw two picks in the game. His only touchdown pass was a 39-yard scoring pass to senior wide-out Eddie Cohen, which made the score 32-14. Cohen led all Catamount receivers with six receptions and 109 yards, finishing with over 100 yards for the third consecutive game. Despite climbing back in the second half, the first half was the determining factor in the fate of the game. Western was held to a three-and- out on its first possession of the game following an offensive pass interference call that brought the ball back. Stephen Browns punt was blocked and the Mocs were given the football with great field position on their first possession. Despite the decent field position, the Catamount defense held the Mocs to only a field goal which gave them an early 3-0 lead. On their second possession, Hearns threw his first interception with 7:33 remaining to be played in the first quarter. This gave UT-C the football back on the Catamount 33-yard line. From this, the Mocs extended their lead to 10 when their quarterback, Blue Cooper, threw his first of two touchdown passes, a 35-yard pass to Antonio Miller. The Mocs extended their lead to 16 when Cooper and his offense moved 90 yards down field and scored when Miller crossed the one yard line for his second score of the game. The scoring fest continued for Chattanooga as they took a 23-0 lead when Joseph Pittman caught a 10-yard pass from Cooper with 10:58 to go in the half. Things continued to get worse for the Cats in the first half. With 6:35 remaining in the half, The Mocs extended the lead to 25 when they got their third safety in the past three games. Hearns toss pitch was fumbled by Willie Harper. Although he was able to recover the fumble, Harper was tackled in the endzone for a safety that put The Mocs ahead 25-0 headed into the break. The Catamounts won the scoring battle in the second half, outscoring UTC 21-14, but it was too little, too late as they could not catch the Mocs, who are currently second in the Southern Conference. Next up for WCU is the Citadel Bulldogs, who will travel to EJ Whitmire Stadium to face the Cats on their homecoming. The Catamounts will be looking to snap their losing SoCon streak and put an end to their woes in front of their fans in Cullowhee. Catamounts Fall In Their Homecoming to the Bulldogs 37-31 Ryan Sarda * WCnewsmagazine Once again, the Catamounts outplayed their opponents in the second half. Once again, the difference maker in the game was two Catamount turnovers. Once again, the Catamounts lost a close football game. Once again, Western fell to a Southern Conference foe, losing their homecoming to the Citadel Bulldogs, 37-31. The loss extends Western Carolinas conference losing streak to 12 games, with their last conference victory being a 24-0 victory over Wofford on November 5, 2005. Wofford happens to be the Catamounts next opponent; WCU will clash with the Terriers on Thursday, Oct. 25 at EJ Whitmire Stadium. Our guys came out fired up and ready to play today, but they were not able to execute early on. | think throughout the game we gained some confidence in ourselves and made some key plays that helped change the outcome, said Catamount head coach Kent Briggs, whose job is clearly on the hot seat at WCU after falling to 22- 40 with a 12-29 record in the SoCon in six years. In the last three games, the Catamounts have had to erase halftime deficits to climb back into the game but have not been able to come away with a victory. Two weeks ago, the Cats overcame a 15-point deficit to lose 37-35 against Elon. Last week, the Catamounts scored 21 points in the second half and fell 39-21 to Chattanooga. We just start out wrong every game, said wide receiver Marquel Pittman, who finished with 68 receiving yards and two TD receptions. It's like we dont want it until we get in at halftime. Then we come out and play, but its too late. Early in the first quarter, Citadel defensive back Joshua Lawson knocked the ball loose from Catamount red-shirt freshman Adam Hearns, causing the first of two Catamount turnovers. The ball was scooped up by Bulldog defensive back Tillman Millhouse who ran it into the end zone to give the Citadel the early 7-0 lead. The Catamounts started the second half the same way they started the first half, with a turnover. Hearns threw an interception to the Citadel's Mel Capers, giving the Bulldogs the ball on the Western 41 yard line. This eventually turned into six for the Bulldogs as they extended their lead to 28-10. The two turnovers were a huge factor in the game for us, especially the one earlier in the game when they were able to turn it into 6. They were a huge momentum killer for us. During the last three weeks, turnovers have been a huge obstacle for us, said Briggs. Following their second _ turnover, Briggs went to his bench and brought in senior quarterback Todd Spitzer to relieve Hearns. When Spitzer began taking the snaps, the Catamounts overcame a 21-point deficit and inched back into the game. Down 31-10 in the final stanza, Spitzer found Pittman for an 18-yard strike in the end zone, making the score 31-17. Following a field goal from the Bulldogs on their next possession, Hearns came back into the game on 1% and Goal on the Citadel three-yard-line and ran the ball over the goal line cutting it down to 34-24. Their defense was outstanding, and they really threw us off a lot in the first half. Their blitz was the hardest thing for us to overcome. We stepped up our running game and | think that threw them off a lot. This stopped the blitz and we were able to make some open throws and we got some points on the board as a result of this, said Briggs on his teams rally. The Bulldogs kicked another field goal late in the fourth quarter and extended their lead to 37-24. Following the field goal, Spitzer found Pittman in the end zone with a five-yard pass to cut it to 37-31 with 1:56 remaining. The Catamounts could not convert on the onside kick, and the Bulldogs were able to get a first down and run out the clock. The Citadel moves into a three-way tie for first place with Elon and Wofford. The Catamounts have had strong showings against two of those first place teams (Elon and the Citadel) and they will be looking to have another impressive showing against Wofford. This time, they'll be looking to come away with a victory. newsmagazine S.LUOdS [liOoAA
