Alabama football did not have a tall task Saturday afternoon in Tuscaloosa. The Crimson Tide easily handled its annual FCS opponent, beating Mercer 52-7 before SEC dates against Oklahoma and Auburn to end the 2024 regular season.

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 was favored by six touchdowns and outmatched Mercer at every position. The Crimson Tide should have won Saturday's game by 40+ points, and it did with the 52-7 victory over the Bears. But performing well for four quarters in a game like this isn't always the norm.
