For the second week in a row, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga quarterback Terrell Robinson (South Pittsburg, Tenn.) was named the Southern Conference Freshman of the Week. Robinson became the first UTC freshman to start at quarterback since 2003, guiding the Mocs to a 51-7 rout of Western Carolina.
Robinson completed 7-of-11 passes for 123 yards and three touchdowns. He added 72 yards rushing on 14 carries for the Mocs as UTC posted its third largest margin of victory in a SoCon game in school history.
Robinson's three TD passes are the most by a Moc this season. He engineered scoring drives of 75, 63 and 63 yards in the first quarter. Robinson's 32-yard run on the first play from scrimmage was the longest run of the year for UTC before Marquis Green turned in a 34-yard run later in the first quarter.
Robinson is the first Mocs to win multiple SoCon Freshman of the Week honors in one season since James Roberts also took the honors on back-to-back weeks in 1989.
Chattanooga (3-4, 1-3 SoCon) hits the road this weekend to face Elon (4-3, 2-2 SoCon) with kickoff is set for 3:00 p.m. (E.D.T.) in Elon, N.C. The game will broadcast on the SoCon Sports Network and locally on WTCI-TV (PBS).
