Chattanooga and The Citadel have announced their schedules for the upcoming 2012 season. And both teams will be seriously challenged early on. The Mocs, who 5-6 last season (3-5 in the Southern Conference), will open the

season at South Florida on September 1. It's the first time, and only the second time in school history that the Mocs have played a Big East school. They traveled to West Virginia in 2002. The Mocs entertain Applachian State on September 22.
The Bulldogs, who were 4-7 (2-6 in the SoCon) last season, will open the season at home against Charleston Southern. But from that point on it gets pretty tough. The Bulldogs entertain Georgia Southern--SoCon champions and national semifinalists last season, on September 8. Then The Citadel hits the road for three consecutive games.
The Bulldogs play at ASU on September 15, at North Carolina State on September 22 and at Chattanooga on Septmber 29.
