adjacent to the construction site, the ceremony was attended by several hundred faculty, staff, students, trustees & Middle Georgia community members.

Included in the complex are the Homer & Ruth Drake Field House, the William H. Anderson II Family Field, the Marshall & the Jane Butler Family Plaza. The Drake Field House is home to football & lacrosse coaches' offices, team meeting rooms, a player lounge, game day suites, a weight room, a training room & the Mercer School of Medicine's sports medicine clinic, which provides physical therapy services to student-athletes & the general public.

The stadium complex was designed by McMil-lan-Pazdan-Smith Architecture of Spartanburg, S.C., and the general contractor is Chris R. Sheridan & Co. of Macon.

LAST TIME VS. BULLDOGSMercer forced four turnovers and controlled the ball for 33 minutes en route to a 24-14 upset win over No. 17 (STATS/Coaches) The Citadel at Johnson Hagood Stadium on Oct. 7, 2017. The Bears' win was their second over a national-ly-ranked program since returning to the gridiron in 2013 and first against The Citadel in the modern era (0-3 prior). Mercer held the nation's second-best rushing attack well under its season average (303.5), allowing just 201 yards.

Tee Mitchell ran for a season-high 88 yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries while Lee Bennett totaled a career-high 16 tackles (four solo, 12 assisted) and forced and recovered a fumble.

SCOUTING THE CITADELThe Citadel has not played since a 29-28 overtime loss to Chattanooga in Week 2 dropped the Bull-dogs to 0-2 overall and in league play. The Bulldogs had their Week 3 contest vs. Charleston Southern postponed until November due to inclement weather from Hurricane Florence.

Despite entering Saturday's game without a win, The Citadel has lost its first two games by a combined eight points. The Bulldogs are averaging 253.5 rushing yards, ranking 17th nationally, and dominate time of possession (average of 34.5 minutes per game).

MR. 100Mercer's Bobby Lamb, who is in his 15th season as a head coach, won his 100th career game vs. Jacksonville on Sept. 8. Lamb is fourth in league history with 91 wins as a SoCon coach, as he was 10-2 in 2013, when the Bears were members of the Pioneer Football League.

Lamb is in his sixth season at Mercer and fifth since the Bears joined the SoCon. His first nine seasons as a head coach were spent at Furman.

#TEETIMESenior running back Tee Mitchell surpassed 2,000 career rushing yards on Sept. 8 with a 118-yard performance vs. Jacksonville. Mitchell is the third player in program history (Alex Lakes, John Russ) with at least 2,000 career rushing yards. Mitchell needs just 394 rushing yards this season to become Mercer's all-time rushing yards leader (2,604).

Mitchell has also rushed for more than 100 yards in each of the last two games vs. Jacksonville and at Samford, giving him eight career 100-yard rushing performances. No other active SoCon player has more than four such games in their careers.

RECORD BREAKERMarquise Irvin, who hauled in his 14th career touchdown reception at Memphis, now needs just three scores to become Mercer's all-time leader in touchdown catches. The record is currently owned by Chandler Curtis (16). Irvin is Mercer's career leader in receiving yards (1,730) & receptions (136).

HOUZ-YA DADDYSenior Stephen Houzah seperated himself from the rest of the SoCon by tallying touchdown receptions in each of the last two games vs. Jacksonville and at Samford.

Houzah, who switched to wide receiver this season after playing cornerback for three years, is the only active SoCon player with at least one career touchdown reception and one career interception. He is currently tied atop Mercer's record book for most career interceptions (6).

LIGHTNING & THUNDERRunning backs Tee Mitchell and Tyray Devezin have already emerged as a dynamic 1-2 punch on the ground for Mercer, just two games into the season.

Mitchell (5-10, 204) and Devezin (5-8, 233) have been dubbed lightning & thunder, respectively, after both tallied 100-yard rushing performances vs. Jacksonville on Sept. 8. The teammates became the first Mercer duo to both rush for 100 yards in a single game since Mitchell did the same with Alex Lakes on Nov. 14, 2015 at Furman.

THE RIDDLERAfter battling with Kaelan Riley for the starting quarterback job over the first two weeks of the season, Robert Riddle put his name on the map by leading the Bears to an upset win at #9 Samford.

The redshirt freshman was 21-of-34 with 316 pass-ing yards, a 73-yard touchdown pass and a pair of rushing scores while out-dueling SoCon Preseason Offensive Player of the Year Devlin Hodges. Riddle has accounted for six total touchdowns and 504 passing yards this season.

Beware the Bears' Den. When the Bears are active, there is a deafening roar from its #comMUnity. The support has made Five Star Stadium one of the toughest places to play in the FCS; Mercer is an impressive 23-9 at home since 2013.

RED MEANS GOMercer is 12-for-13 (10 touchdowns) when reach-ing the red zone on offense so far this season. It is a trend that has carried over from last season, when Mercer ranked fifth nationally in red zone offense, scoring on 91.4 percent of its trips (32-for-35), including 25 touchdowns.

WALKER RETURNSRedshirt senior tight end Sam Walker made his season debut at Samford after missing Mercer's first two games with an ankle injury. He started and tallied one reception. Walker was named to the 2018 Preseason All-SoCon Team and owns 76 re-ceptions, 791 receiving yards and seven touchdown catches for his career.

FRESH IMPACTThanks to the NCAA's new redshirt rule (players can appear in four games and still earn a redshirt), Mercer has had multiple freshmen see action through two games this season.

Maybe the most immediate impact has come from a pair of freshman receivers, David Durden and Tony Jones II. Durden caught a season-long 39-yard pass at #9 Samford and has been a constant on special teams so far with three kickoff returns for 50 yards and a pair of tackles. Jones II hauled in his first career reception, a 10-yard touchdown catch, at Memphis and ranks second on the team with eight catches.

PRO BALL TO THE SOCONFreshman wide receiver David Durden took a unique road to arriving at Mercer. Originally a member of Mercer's 2017 signing class, Durden chose to pursue a career in professional baseball when he was selected by the Boston Red Sox in the 20th round of the 2017 MLB First-Year Player Draft.

Durden, a native of Midville, Ga., played 30 games in the Red Sox's system in the Gulf Coast League and batted .220 with nine RBI and seven runs scored before voluntarily retiring and shifting his focus back to college football.

ICE COLDSenior kicker Cole Fisher tied a career-high with three made field goals in Mercer's upset win over #9 Samford on Sept. 15. Two of the field goals came in a pivotal fourth quarter. Fisher has 28 made field goals in 41 attempts during his career.

THUNDER DOWN UNDERMercer's starting punter, Matt Shiel, is the defini-tion of a journeyman. A native of Doncaster, Austra-lia, Shiel played his freshman year (2014) at Auburn before transferring to Mercer for the 2015 season, when he earned All-SoCon Second Team honors.

Shiel then left Mercer, returning home to Aus-tralia where he enrolled at Victoria University (Melbourne, Australia) for two years, but did not compete. With 2018 Preseason All-SoCon honors to his name, Shiel has made 12 punts for an average of 41.3 yards, including a season-best 52-yarder.

SANDERS IN CHARGEMercer replaced a pair of four-year starters on its offensive line (Thomas Marchman, Caleb Yates). The Bears' offense will now look to redshirt junior tack-le Austin Sanders, who started all 11 games last year and earned All-SoCon Second Team honors.

L.O.C. IN THE HOUSEMercer's defense assumed the name, "Legion of Chaos", shortened to "L.O.C." in the 2017 season. With good reason, it stuck, after the Bears led the SoCon in turnovers gained (25), largely due to a FCS-leading 16 fumbles recovered. Mercer has led the SoCon in turnover margin in three of its four seasons as a league member, further proving the chaos the unit invokes on opposing offenses.

BENNETT SIGNS CFL DEALFormer Mercer inside linebacker Lee Bennett signed a two-year contract with the BC Lions of the Canadian Football League (CFL) on Sept. 10, mak-ing him the first Mercer football alumnus to sign a professional deal. Bennett will start his career on the Lions' practice squad. A native of Leesburg, Fla., Bennett starred for Mercer from 2014-17. He was a team captain in 2017 and a three-year starter with 33 starts in 44 games played. Bennett set a program single-season record with 110 tackles as a senior and graduated with a degree in finance.

2013 TEAM HONOREDMercer honored its record-breaking 2013 foot-ball team on Sept. 8 vs. Jacksonville at Five Star Stadium. Aug. 31 marked the five-year anniversary of Mercer's first football game following a 72-year hiatus. Mercer's 2013 team set a NCAA Division I record for most wins by a first-year program (10).

PRESEASON HONORSA program-record eight Bears were named to the 2018 Preseason All-SoCon Teams, including a trio of First Team selections.

BOBBY LAMB - HEAD COACHSince guiding the Bears through a return to the gridiron in 2013, following a 72-year hiatus, Bobby Lamb has continued to build the Mercer football program into a focal point of Macon and the surrounding Middle Georgia communities.

Lamb enters his sixth season as Mercer’s head football coach in 2018 and will lead a squad that returns 18 starters from the year prior and placed eight student-athletes on the 2018 Preseason All-Southern Conference team. Named the 19th head football coach in program history in 2011, Lamb led the Bears to immediate success in their first season of action in 2013, claiming the third 10-win season of his coaching career and setting the NCAA Division I record for wins by a first-year program with a 10-2 campaign. Since 2013 he has led Mercer to wins against three nationally-ranked FCS teams, including No. 3 Chattanooga in 2015.

During his tenure guiding Furman’s program, Lamb had a 67-40 record (.626) as its head coach. He led the Paladins to winning records in eight of his nine seasons and made four trips to the NCAA I-AA (now Football Championship Series) playoffs, reaching the quarterfinals in 2004 and the semifinals in 2005. Lamb is a 1982 graduate of Commerce (Ga.) High School and went on to earn his B.A. in health and exercise science from Furman in 1987. He also earned his M.Ed. degree from Furman in health and exercise science in 1992. Lamb, who was born on Christmas Eve in 1962, is married to the former Allyson Acker. The couple has two children: a daughter, Sallie, and a son, Taylor.
