Week 11 FCS game of the week
Samford enters the FCS game of the week undefeated against FCS opponents and on a seven-game win streak.
The streak is the longest since 1971’s Bulldog team achieved the feat to close the season. Last week, Samford defeated VMI giving the Bulldogs their sixth win of the season by two or more scores. Samford’s top-15 passing offense has led the way, averaging 281.1 yards per game.

Chattanooga hosts its home finale in need of a win to stay in the SoCon race. The Mocs have won seven straight games over Samford, but enter Week 11 only two games removed from their first FCS loss. As Chattanooga looks to end the season on a winning streak, it’ll need its eighth-ranked FCS scoring defense at 17.78 points per game to step up and slow down a prolific offense.

Samford could clinch at least a share of the SoCon title with a win, and maybe the conference outright with some help. Meanwhile, a Chattanooga win gives the Mocs a chance to win the conference title next week.
