I think if Russell had played a crisp game, they would have beaten Mercer. I watched the game and thought they played kind of sloppy. Nothing like the night when they beat Belfry.

I would somewhat agree with that assessment. I thought the defense played very well. The offense played well at times but the play calling got pass happy in the second half with the wind behind them. Throwing the ball down field in that wind was a big mistake IMO. The inside running game was working and it would have kept the defense on the field and worn Mercer down.
