Hey football fans! Let's dive into the action from Bryant-Denny Stadium as the Alabama Crimson Tide took on the Mercer Bears. This game, while expected to be a blowout, still offered some interesting moments. Let's recap!
First Half: Tide Takes Control
From the kickoff, it was clear who was boss. Alabama's offense, a well-oiled machine (as usual!), moved the ball with ease. Mercer's defense, though game, just couldn't keep up with the sheer talent on the field. We saw some seriously impressive runs and a couple of highlight-reel passes. Those first few touchdowns? Total cakewalk for the Tide.
Key Plays of the First Half:
- That Jalen Milroe Touchdown: Seriously, that run was insane. The kid's got wheels! A pure highlight reel moment that had the stadium buzzing.
- The Near-Interception: A close call for Alabama! A little scare, but nothing the Tide couldn't handle. Shows that even against a less-ranked team, you gotta stay focused.
Second Half: More of the Same
The second half was more of a controlled burn for Alabama. They kept the pressure on, maintaining their lead and giving some younger players valuable playing time. It felt a bit like a practice session – a very effective practice session, mind you – with lots of substitutions. Mercer fought hard, but the gulf in talent was undeniably vast. Let's be honest, it was a long game for the Bears.
Key Plays of the Second Half:
- The Freshman's First Touchdown: A big moment for the future of the Tide! This kid's got potential. This is what we love to see!
- Mercer's Late-Game Drive: A tiny glimmer of hope for the Bears fans. A respectable drive, showing some grit and determination, but alas, it wasn't enough to make a real contest of it.

While the final score wasn't the focus, it provided valuable experience for the younger players on the Alabama roster.
