Alabama Football has a demanding schedule with five regular-season opponents in the recent Coaches Poll, Top 25. Other than the season opener against Miami, the out-of-conference (OOC) schedule is weak.

Bama Hammer begins a series of preseason previews of the Tide’s regular-season games, by grouping three lightweights together. They are the Mercer Bears, the New Mexico State Aggies and the Southen Mississippi Golden Eagles.

Alabama Football Game 2 – Mercer at Bryant-Denny on Sept.11

For the Alabama Crimson Tide, the advantage of playing Mercer is game experience for second and third unit players.
