Mercer's first football team was fielded in 1892, but the school did not consistently field teams until 1906. The sport was dropped in 1917 and 1918 during U.S. involvement in World War I, but returned after the war. Until 1924, the Mercer Bears were known as the Mercer Baptists. After the 1941 season, with the beginning of U.S. involvement in World War II, Mercer dropped football again, but did not resume the sport after the war. The program was reinstated after a 72-year hiatus in 2013; the first game was on August 31, 2013, when Mercer defeated (40?37) Reinhardt University in front of an overflow crowd of 12,172 at the Moye Complex.[2]

I don't like D. Francis. Losing Cook was huge. Cam Akers may end up being as good, but he won't be in his first game as a true frosh and I'm certain Jacque Patrick isn't. So, I think FSU is going to really struggle moving the ball.
I like Alabama's skill players a lot. I do think the OL may be a bit off from their usually hellacious Death Star of doom quality, but it should still be good. That said, FSU ain't no joke up front.
So, I like Hurts more than Francis and I like Alabama's big play angle more than FSU's, so I'll take them by 7-10 in a game where I expect the defenses to actually have the upper hand.
Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]? Brady Hoke: You know.....not....good.
