It definitely wasn’t a great start, but Alabama as expected was able to get the win against Mercer on Saturday.
Quarterback Bryce Young didn’t quite have the eye popping numbers from a week ago, but still turned in a solid game completing 19 of 27 passes for 227 yards and three passing touchdowns.
The unit got off to a rather slow start in the first quarter of action, as it validated head coach Nick Saban’s previous frustration he displayed earlier in the week. It wasn’t until a blocked punt by sophomore linebacker Chris Braswell and a touchdown return by Jase McClellan sparked the offense to get some points on the board of its own.
