Mississippi Holds Mercer to Draw in Georgia Grid Clash
Mercer and Mississippi College battled to a 7 to 7 tie in Macon as Mercer's forward passing and a 85 yard TD from Lawrence to Tipton sparked a first quarter Mercer lead. Mississippi used a steady forward passing attack to level with Parks to Wilson and Berry scoring on a goal line pass and later adding another pass sequence before a late comeback was nullified by a five yard offsides penalty. Mercer ends season 5-3-2 with 89-110 scoring edge for opponents. Ellison stars on defense as Mercer bids farewell to several seniors.
