Yeah, this is rock bottom.
The first game of the Clark Lea era was one that we would probably rather forget. The Commodores briefly held a 3-0 lead on a 53-yard field goal by Joseph Bulovas late in the first quarter. East Tennessee State went ahead in the second quarter on a touchdown pass from Tyler Riddell to Malik Murray, then added on a field goal just before halftime and another in the third quarter to take a 13-3 lead. The Buccaneers then added a scoop and score off a Ken Seals fumble in the fourth quarter to make the score 20-3.
