Mercer kicks off the season on Saturday. UNA struggled last season, but any out-of-conference win helps the SoCon. (The Mocs face the Lions next Saturday in Alabama, so I think it's two wins over the
UAC)
Fordham at Albany and the MEAC/SWAC Challenge Kickoff round out the day.
Mercer will be on ESPN for today's game, good exposure for them and the SoCon in the FCS Kickoff Game.

The Bears have not looked as good since their opening drive, the Lions defense is holding up in the 1st quarter, not sure they can do it the entire game, but so far they are holding.

10-7 Mercer. After being held out of the endzone, the Bears knock down a 24 yard field goal to take the lead with about 4 minutes remaining in the half.

After a long "weather delay", the Bears squeaked by the Lions of North Alabama by a 17-7 final score. I don't think the Bear offense will the the jeagernaut it was predicted to be this season. I think that replacing Fred Payton at quarterback is a more difficult task than everyone thought, freshman of the year or not... Peevy did not impress me today.
FUBear was predicting the Bears to score 45 against the Lions, I think they were lucky to get the 17. I don't know if UNA is better than expected, or Mercer is highly overrated, but they certainly did not look like a Top 25 team today, I expect them to drop out of any rankings in the next poll.
