All right, so, you know, first true full day

preparing for Mercer.

These guys played well Saturday.

They played very well last year.

They played extremely hard.

You know, even if you go back two years ago

when they were at Alabama, how well they played

on defense, how they played early, but especially on defense.

In that game, the problems they gave them.

And so we're in our hands full.

We had to prepare really well and ready to play in a lot of heat also

and prepared for what comes with that

and how to play through that.

And so, I got a lot of work to do.

I thought that the Mock game went really well,

which is not always the case every year.

I thought the guys did a really good job

of responding to making it like a game day

and their energy and their communication and substitutions.

Whatever the score was, 72 nothing or something,

which on the surface everybody would expect, that's how it is no matter what, but it is not that way every year.

We've come out of that game frustrated sometimes.
