Sitting on a 9-1 record, these Bears have roared to their first league title since 1932, and they ain’t finished yet. With Alabama having beaten LSU with flair, 42-13, the Tide’s mind is mainly on staying healthy and ready for their conference giants like Oklahoma and Auburn. The spotlight’s on Alabama’s duel of the quarterback Jalen Milroe and the young receiver Ryan Williams, who are prepping to weave past Mercer’s meat-grinding defense. These fellers lead the FCS in just about every defense category from run defense to defensive touchdowns.

They’ve wracked up some 144 to Mercer’s mere 14 in history; a statistic surely a hot breath on Mercer’s neck.
