Team came out thinking they could be beat Mercer without putting in the preparation. They were not focused. It was easy to see why CNS was concerned about the poor practices last week. Still, they played good enough to get a 38-0 before Mercer scored. We played a lot of people.
I am not sure if it was because we were playing Mercer or if it is Covid related but it was a very small crowd. I estimate about 70,000. About the size of most A Day games. The fans that were there were uninspired. I think that was because of the opponent. Traffic was light, activity before the game on the Quad was different, very few food trucks and vendors. Everything was a little off. I hope it changes before two weeks when we host Southern Miss and certainly by 10/2 when we play Ole Miss.
Best game day improvement. Road construction from B'ham to T'town is complete.
