Few also probably know the Mocs defeated Appalachian State, 72-14, in 1978, which was the worst defeat ever suffered by the Mountaineers in their Southern Conference membership. Morrison’s Mocs would enjoy a nice run in the Southern Conferece in the late 1970s, and this was the era in which the Furman and Chattanooga rivalry really grew its roots. From 1977-79, the two pro- grams started to build their success and tradition as winning programs during those three seasons. Chattanooga joined the Southern Conference as a league member of course in 1977, and in that first season of membership, which would see the influx of new teams over the next couple of seasons, with Chattanooga, Western Carolina, Marshall, Appalachian State and East Tennessee State all coming into the league. The Mocs were the most successful of the new members in the early going, and in their first season as a member, won their first Southern Conference title. The Mocs had only one blemish during their first season as a league member, which saw the Mocs finish 9-1-1 and 4-1 in the SoCon, and that would be a 17-7 loss to Furman in their first-ever SoCon home game.The Mocs would share the league crown with VMI, who ironically, re-enters the league this fall after an 11-year stint in the Big South. In 1978, Furman would claim its first Southern Conference crown under the direction of first-year head coach Dick Sheridan, who helped Furman post an 8-3 record and a 4-1 league record, with Furman’s only SoCon blemish being a 13-9 loss to the Mocs in Greenville, which helped Morrison’s Mocs claim a share of the ‘78 title along with the Paladins. Chattanooga would have won the title outright had it not been for a memorable goal-line stand by Furman against The Citadel, stopping Bulldog acclaimed running back Stump Mitchell for no gain on fourth-and-goal late in the fourth quarter, as Furman held on for a 17-13 win at Sirrine Stadium in Greenville. The ending to that ‘78 season, which saw the Mocs and Paladins share the title, was strangely similar to the 2013 shared crown, only it was Chattanooga’s missed field goal in overtime that left the door open for Furman to claim a share of the crown, and after Furman’s 27-14 win over Wofford. What was the icing on the cake for Furman was the late TD by Samford against Elon in the waning seconds, as the Bulldogs gained a 33-32 win over the Phoenix, allowing the Paladins qualification by virtue of the automatic bid as a result of Samford making it a three-way tie for the conference title with the late score. Chattanooga claimed the 1979 SoCon title, as it claimed an outright league title, posting a 5-1 league record and finished 9-2 overall. The Mocs demolished the Paladins, 45-14, that particular season, and would win three out of the next five meetings with the Paladins from 1980-84, with four of those five meetings being decided by a TD or less. Going into the 2014 season, both Furman and Chattanooga head into the season as favorites once again with head coaches that were apart of those late 1970s title runs at their respective alma maters. That friendly rivalry has carried over from the gridiron, in which both were defensive backs as players, to the sidelines where both are now the head coaches, reviving the rivalry and the winning culture at both of those programs. Chattanooga head coach Russ Huesman has posted a 31-25 record overall heading into his sixth season as the head coach of the Mocs, while Furman’s Bruce Fowler has a 17-19 heading into his fourth season at Furman. Fowler improved the Paladins by five wins last season, and answered many of his detractors last season by following a tough 3-8 season by winning eight games last fall. Now, Chattanooga and Furman find themselves perched atop the Southern Conference as the teams to beat entering the 2014 season. The Nov. 22 matchup, which is the last week of the regular season, will see the two square off against each other. After 16-straight wins in the series by the Paladins, the Mocs have won three out of the past four in the series, including out-scoring the Paladins 62-19 in each of the past two meetings. I expect this year’s meeting will be a little closer and will see both come into the matchup perhaps playing for a Southern Conference title--just like old times!
