Mercer Football to Kickoff with Jacksonville at 3 PM

MACON, Ga. (MERCER RELEASE) – The final game time for the Mercer University football team has been set after the department of athletics announced kickoff against Jacksonville on Nov. 9 is slated for 3 p.m. at Mercer University Stadium.

The kickoff with Jacksonville will mark the second to last home contest of the year for Mercer, who is hosting eight games in 2013, making the Bears one of just three FCS team with eight home games this fall.

With a 5-0 record at home, Mercer is the only team in the Pioneer Football League with an unblemished mark at home and one of just 42 FCS teams in the country to defend its home turf to perfection.

The Bears look to keep that home winning streak intact this Saturday, welcoming Carnegie Mellon to town for a 1 p.m. kickoff at Mercer University Stadium.
