The staff at Touchdown Alabama provide their predictions and analysis of the game.
Alabama 51 – Mercer 0
Key Insight: “Nick Saban challenged his team this week to play with intensity for 60 minutes. Expect the offense to be efficient and young players getting opportunities. Defense must play assignment football against the wishbone and win one-on-one battles.“
Alabama 52 – Mercer 3 Key Insight: “Alabama football’s defense will have to show discipline against an unconventional Mercer offense.
