Mercer football will be back on the field on Saturday as the Bears begin their spring Southern Conference schedule against Wofford

Macon, GA – The Bears prepare to take on someone other than themselves for the first time since the end of October.

We all know that the COVID-19 pandemic cut Mercer’s fall season to just three games. The Southern Conference opted not to play conference games but allowed up to three non-conference games for member schools.

Watching other conferences play was a strange feeling, according to redshirt sophomore tight end Drake Starks. The Bears are back to play a full eight-game Southern Conference spring schedule. It’ll be the first full season under Cronic, who’s been busy instilling his culture into the program.
