Get ready for an exhilarating Saturday football clash on October 4, 2025, as the Samford Bulldogs take on the Mercer Bears at Five Star Stadium in Macon, GA. Last season, the Bulldogs defeated Mercer with a score of 55-35, a game that saw Samford's passing game shine. This season, both teams are eager to showcase their skills again in the NCAAF.
