To be honest we will have a hard time beating VMI at there place.....During the off season Coach Bell needs to address the defense both players and coaching staff.....Our defense isn't good.....Sorry just being honest....I'm glad they didn't lay down but this game was lost in the first quarter....

As much as I want the Cats to win, they do not deserve to win this game with the poor way they played from the opening kick off.

Maybe a more experienced team (which the Cats will be next year) can finally beat Mercer.
Any talk of playoffs should END NOW. This team is too young and inerperienced.

I totally agree. We do not deserve to win this one and I am sorry I made the long drive up to watch this. I am glad they did not give up but the way they played is just terrible

Awfully hard to win games when you turn it over 6 times. Especially if 3 of those lead directly to 21 points.
The other thing is Mercer had the #1 defense in the SOCON (ahead of Furman). So this game was not going to be easy, and it is especially hard given all those factors.
I am still proud of them not giving up on this game.

There is no question Reid is a great player, but he truly changes the dynamic of this team. We are a good team without him, but Reid makes us great. Really wish we could have seen how different these somewhat close games against Furman and Mercer could have gone (none were blowouts despite popular opinion on this board).
Hope we can see him back sometime soon.

Can we POSSIBLY not jump offsides on this punt? Let's at least give the offense a chance to score again.

Look at the scores today in the SoCon. There is no guarantee that we will beat either VMI or ETSU. VMI lost to the Mocs today by one point and ETSU held Furman to two field goals for most of their game, finally losing 16-8 to the Paladins.

This team gives me a lot of emotions. I want to love and cheer for them but damn there's so many plays where I just can't process what the heck they are doing. I don't know if it's being young or if it's coaching adjustments but these are big time games and we just can't figure it out. Like this was the game we needed to win for any shot any shot at a post season and you fumble the ball twice on kickoffs In the first quarter?? Then our QB throws 3 interceptions at the worst possible times on each one. Like c'mon man. Don't sugar coat this crap. Just get better. Homecoming and it's packed, probably one of the larger crowds of the year and you just totally crap the bed. This mercer team wasn't even that good. Just disappointed.
Be lucky to even get to 8-3 at this point.
