JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (WJHL) – After four-consecutive weeks of at least 34 points and 380 yards per contest, the ETSU offense struggled against rival Chattanooga in a 17-10 loss on Saturday.
Head coach Tre Lamb took responsibility after the game, as he expressed frustrations about the lack of offensive rhythm throughout the afternoon.

“Everything is a 2nd & 12 or 3rd & 8,” he said after the game. “You run the ball for six yards and it’s … 2nd & 4, you try to throw it and then all the sudden you get a lineman downfield. Or all the sudden, you get a receiver not set.”
“A lot of that is driven by the play calling and quarterback,” he continued.
At the start of the fourth quarter, Lamb elected to sit starting quarterback, Jaylen King. The sophomore compiled 73 total yards in the first three quarters of action.
He turned to another Gardner-Webb transfer, fifth-year senior Gino English, for a spark. He finished out the game completing 3-of-8 passes for 57 yards, a touchdown and an interception.
