Recap
Mercer stormed out to a dominant 21-0 first quarter lead, powered by JP Pickles' two rushing touchdowns and Jyarius Carter's 32-yard pick-six just 47 seconds after the Bears' opening score. Pickles added a third rushing TD in the second quarter as the Bears built a commanding 28-8 halftime advantage. Samford mounted a late rally with a 10-yard Coulter Cleland touchdown run cutting it to 31-21 with just 25 seconds remaining, but Mercer held on for the 31-21 Southern Conference road victory.
