For anyone who wants to bet the game and knows nothing about the teams......Here is a write up on the game......This write up is from the SPORTS NETWORK....It will give you an idea on what these 2 teams are all about.
GAME NOTES: The Friday night spotlight belongs to two red-hot teams who have never met before. Chattanooga has won seven straight games - its longest streak since 1968 - and New Hampshire has captured a school-record 11 consecutive wins. Between the two, they have only one loss against an FCS opponent (Chattanooga to Jacksonville State).
Top-seeded New Hampshire is attempting to reach the national semifinals for the second consecutive year. The Wildcats were the No. 1 seed in 2005 when they lost in the quarterfinals to Northern Iowa.
The Wildcats have won 13 straight games at Cowell Stadium, affectionately known as "The Dungeon," and this season, they have won in dominant fashion there.
The CAA Football champions have kept seven of their last nine opponents to under 20 points. That's not the traditional method of winning in Durham, but the 4-2-5 defense has been strong against the pass and is balanced overall, with six players above 50 tackles but none higher than linebacker Akil Anderson's 70 stops. The Wildcats have terrific size on their defensive line (the four starters average 6-foot-2, 275 pounds) and their defense had six sacks in the first nine minutes and nine overall in their 44-19 second-round victory over high-scoring Fordham.
With running back Nico Steriti (four touchdowns against Fordham) healthy again, the UNH spread offense can achieve exceptional balance. Fellow back Jimmy Owens suffered a season-ending knee injury last Saturday, but sophomore Dalton Crossan could see some time and take pressure off quarterback Sean Goldrich, who would get to concentrate on delivering passes to All-American wide receiver R.J. Harris (87 receptions for 1,311 yards and 13 touchdowns) and athletic tight end Harold Spears.
Chattanooga, the Southern Conference champion, is coming off a 35-14 second- round win over Indiana State that was their first ever in the playoffs, and, like New Hampshire, they wear down opponents. The Mocs smothered the Sycamores by controlling the clock for nearly 43 minutes. Their average time of possession of 33 minutes, 21 seconds ranks fourth in the FCS.
Junior quarterback Jacob Huesman is soaring at a high level of play as he leads a multiple offense. He's accounted for 3,312 yards and 34 total touchdowns, and is a two-time SoCon offensive player of the year.
That's one fewer time than defensive end Davis Tull has earned SoCon defensive player of the year honors. Indiana State did everything to avoid the senior All-American, who has 17 tackles for loss and 10.5 sacks this season. That meant the Sycamores went the way of freshman cornerback Lucas Webb, who gained his team-high seventh takeway with an interception. The Mocs, who also feature defensive tackle Derrick Lott, rank fifth in the FCS in allowing just 273.8 yards per game.
The winner will advance to face either Illinois State or Eastern Washington.
