JSU Coach Jack Crowe concerned about Chattanooga.
From his press conference on the Mocs:
"Moving on to Chattanooga. It is going to be required in my opinion to be a better team. Chattanooga if you want to make the scenario they are like we were trying to prove that the last time we played Furman the margin of victory wasn't what it was. Well we got a bunch coming at us trying to prove the same thing. We had a margin of victory to me that was not representative of the difference in the two teams. I think anytime you've got a new coach and Rodney is going through this. Organization, and planning take a little while to take effect. It is obvious to me watching the Chattanooga film after there overtime win over Tennessee Tech. They are better organized and have a significant improvement in there plans offensively and defensively. I hope I don't make a comment that misleads anybody here. They are not the Furman team. They are not pre-season picked to win a national championship by anybody. Let me say this, there will be more athletes on the field at different times of the game than there was last week. They have got some athletic people running around and doing some things very impressively. That's the reason they returned two interceptions for touchdowns. That doesn't happen in the average football game. That tells you they have some people running around out there making plays."
