Alabama redshirt freshman Dylan Lonergan entered the game next for the Crimson Tide. His mission, the same as Simpsons, play efficiently and keep the clock moving. Lonergan leaned largely on running backs Daniel Hill and Kevin Riley in his dozen snaps, but still passed the ball well in his limited opportunities.

The Alabama Crimson Tide continued their winning ways Saturday against the Mercer Bears, defeating the visiting FCS program by a final score of 52-7.

Alabama's final score of the game came on a 16 play and almost eight minute drive. Alabama's third string quarterback Austin Mack found Rico Scott for a 31 yard touchdown pass, which gave the tide a lead of 52-7, which would be the final score of the game.
