Mercer (1-1) vs VMI (2-0) Game Preview

What’s Going To Happen

All of a sudden, VMI is a factor.

The Keydets stunned Furman to start the season and then got through the SoCon free space, getting 587 yards out of Reece Udinski leading one of the nation’s better passing attacks. On the flip side, the Mercer passing game is working, but the run defense has been ripped up over the first two games.

VMI can run, but it chooses to travel by air, but the real standout has been a defense that’s allowed just 20 points in the first two games helped by a killer pass rush that’s been living in backfields.

Mercer got whacked by Wofford and then stunned Citadel with a 28-0 first half to coast on to a 42-28 win – three takeaways helped. It was the opposite of the Wofford game, getting down 17-0 at halftime and 31-7 thanks to three turnovers.

This is a solid Mercer team that’s about to get hit with a strong passing game for the first time. VMI will control the clock, Udinski will dink and dunk all game long and the D – especially against the run- will take care of the rest.
