Recap: Milroe Leads Alabama Past Mercer 52-7

11/16/2024

Alabama 52, Mercer 7

TLDR: On a warm Saturday afternoon, Alabama football took on Mercer, managing to seal a convincing win 52-7, thanks largely to the stellar performance of quarterback Jalen Milroe. He was spectacular, contributing to three touchdowns in just over two quarters of play. The mighty Crimson Tide, ranked No. 9, used this matchup to continue refining their skills and gearing up for the upcoming SEC clashes. Ryan Williams dazzled with a run-in and reception, while Alabama’s defense hunted down turnovers. Meanwhile, Mercer struggled without their main quarterback, only managing a single touchdown. With a 31-7 halftime score, Milroe enjoyed a well-deserved rest as backup players got their time on the field. Alabama expanded its recent outstanding streak, having trounced their last three foes by overwhelming margins after their prior hiccup against Tennessee. Now, Alabama looks ahead to their grueling schedule with powerhouse Oklahoma and archrival Auburn looming. This game was an exercise in dominance and preparation for the Tide as they chase greater glory.


Well now, folks, the Alabama Crimson Tide rolled past them Mercer Bears with a thundering 52-7 victory this past Saturday. Jalen Milroe, our stalwart quarterback, played a heck of a game. Just over two quarters was all he needed to throw for two touchdowns and run another into the end zone himself. Mighty impressive, I’d say, as the Tide crushed those Bears with a performance as sweet as grandma’s peach cobbler. It’s always a fine day when Alabama claims victory, especially sittin’ proud at No. 9 in them rankings.

Ryan Williams, that young buck, sure shone brightly with a 29-yard rush to score and a 14-yard catch for another touchdown. Alabama used this non-conference game to hone their skills after being back in the top 10 thanks to last week’s masterful trouncing of LSU. The boys now set their sights on big ol’ games against Oklahoma and Auburn. They gotta hold on tight to any playoff hopes and dreams of an SEC title, no doubt.

Ya know, Alabama’s been on a tear, outscoring their last three opponents a staggering 128 to 20 since their tumble against Tennessee. Even with the calm of a lesser opponent like Mercer, star receiver Williams insisted they treat it like any other game, talkin’ ‘bout that “nameless, faceless” mantra. It’s all ‘bout execution for these young men, and don’ it show on the field?

Them Mercer Bears, without their main man DJ Smith under center, had a tough Tusk meetin’ on their hands. Whitt Newbauer stepped in but couldn’t muster enough magic. The Bears did manage a single touchdown, avoiding the dreaded shutout with a Newbauer pass to Kendall Harris right before the half. But mercy me, Alabama’s defense was on the prowl, forcing turnovers left and right. Youngster Zabien Brown even scampered away with a fumble for a touchdown.

Now ol’ Alabama, they’re onto bigger fish in the river. Gonna be headin’ to Oklahoma, ready for more action next Saturday. But merciful heavens, those backup boys got a taste of playtime too, with Ty Simpson showing promise with some fancy footwork. All these southern boys gotta buckle down and take it game by game, but this week, it’s all smiles in Tuscaloosa. Roll Tide and go catch some dreams, y’all!
