Mocs Prepare For Another SoCon Clash With Mercer

Chattanooga-(WDEF-TV) When the Mercer Bears coming charging for Chattanooga, it seems they’re jacked up on ‘Hater-Ade’.
Said Mocs head coach Rusty Wright:”Those guys don’t like us for some reason. I’m not sure what it is. Never done anything to anybody in Macon before. I’m not sure what the problem is.”
Said offensive lineman Reid Williams:”I don’t know if they don’t like us or not, but it’s always fun playing a strong opponent in the SoCon.”
Coach Wrights says Mercer certainly fits the bill of a strong opponent.
Said Wright:”Well they’re undefeated. I think they’ve won 63-10 and 31-2. They’ve given up 12 points in two games. Played really well defensively. Got a quarterback that can give you some problems. He’s athletic.”
The Mocs are 0-2 with both losses to FBS teams, although UTC nearly upset Georgia State.
Said Williams:”That we will get out there and go whether it’s tough or not. Battle through injuries. That we are going to come out there everyday, and we’re going to work.:”
Said Wright:”I’m telling you. These last two Tuesday practices are as physical as they have ever been around here. I didn’t have to say a word. They just went out there and did it. You can’t practice soft and play hard.”
And you can’t beat playing at home either.
Said defensive back Jordan Walker:”Ain’t nothing like a Saturday night at Finley Stadium. That’s going to be very exciting. We know the fans are going to be into it. Just go out and give them a show and come out victorious.”

Kickoff is set for 6pm.
