MACON, Ga. -- Evan Jack scored in overtime, and David Marvin's extra point provided the difference to lift Wofford to a 34-33 win over Mercer in a Southern Conference opener for both teams Saturday night.
Mercer (2-2) recovered a fumble late in the fourth quarter and forced overtime with a 23-yard field goal by Jagger Lieb. The Bears got the ball first in the extra session and took the lead with a 25-yard touchdown pass from Avery Ward to John Russ, but were left vulnerable when Lieb missed the PAT.
