Mercer coach Bobby Lamb wary of ‘hungry’ and ‘dangerous’ Mocs

Mercer football coach Bobby Lamb has led the Bears to improved results from year to year since the school joined the Southern Conference in 2014. They're hoping to take their biggest step yet this season.

Mercer has been in this position before – coming off a big performance against a good football team.

The Bears’ focus this week is on how they respond afterward.

The program earned one of the biggest wins in recent school history last Saturday, going on the road and defeating The Citadel 24-14. The Bulldogs were ranked 17th in the Football Championship Subdivision at the time.

Considering the Bears are eyeing a potential Southern Conference championship and FCS playoff berth, the case could be made that the win was bigger even than their 17-14 upset of then No. 3-ranked University of Tennessee at Chattanooga two years ago in Macon, Ga.

UTC’s Mocs (1-5, 1-2) will be back in Macon this Saturday.
