Yes. Mercer played WCU, Wofford, ETSU, and Chatt after (not, necessarily, immediately after) Furman had played them. Unless something has changed in the SoCon since 2015, SoCon Teams share ALL of their game videos with their upcoming opponents. So, in the past 4 weeks, Mercer’s opponents’ Offenses’ games against Furman’s Defense would have been part of the ‘package’ of game videos he would have watched to prepare for those Teams.The Jackal wrote: ↑Tue Nov 13, 2018 3:36 pmSounds like he gave it a go.FUBeAR wrote: ↑Tue Nov 13, 2018 3:32 pmMitchell wasn’t listed on the 2 deep last week & he started the game @ UTC.The Jackal wrote: ↑Tue Nov 13, 2018 3:12 pmMercer listed their depth chart.

Again, I never read too much into depth charts, but one would think that if Mercer's starting QB and RB were going to play, they'd at least be listed. Mercer won the game last weekend, but their offense struggled mightily against UTC without those guys.
2 carries in the 1st series for 6 yards.
1 carry in the 2nd series for 3 yards.
No further action.
That interview was pretty good, aslso. I think it was Buehler who commented that Mercer seemed to watch Furman film a bunch as they prepared for other teams and were wowed at Jaylan Reid and Adrian Hope.
And...Yes. He was very complimentary of Players from another Team without throwing any low-key ‘shade’ or having an undertone of back-handedness. It is possible to do that.
