Since opening in 2013, Five Star Stadium has served as the home of Mercer University's football and lacrosse programs. The current seating capacity at Five Star Stadium is 10,200.

More than 358,000 fans have witnessed the Bears play 35 home games at Five Star Stadium over the past six seasons. With an average of 10,237 fans at each home game, Mercer has ranked inside the top 25 of NCAA Divison I FCS programs for attendance. The Bears own an impressive 24-11 (.685) all-time record at Five Star Stadium and a 99-56-3 (.636) mark in all games played in Macon dating back to 1892.

Roughly two years after Mercer University's Board of Trustees voted to reinstate football, the school broke ground & unveiled plans for the Tony & Nancy Moye Football & Lacrosse Complex during a Home-coming weekend ceremony on Nov. 11, 2012. Held

adjacent to the construction site, the ceremony was attended by several hundred faculty, staff, students, trustees & Middle Georgia community members.

Included in the complex are the Homer & Ruth Drake Field House, the William H. Anderson II Family Field, the Marshall & the Jane Butler Family Plaza. The Drake Field House is home to football & lacrosse coaches' offices, team meeting rooms, a player lounge, game day suites, a weight room, a training room & the Mercer School of Medicine's sports medicine clinic, which provides physical therapy services to student-athletes & the general public.

The stadium complex was designed by McMil-lan-Pazdan-Smith Architecture of Spartanburg, S.C., and the general contractor is Chris R. Sheridan & Co. of Macon.

HOW MERCER FARES AGAINST...SOUTHERN CONFERENCE (45-60-5)

LAST TIME VS. FURMANFurman scored the final 14 points with 89- and 70-yard touchdown drives to defeat Mercer, 28-21, and snap the Bears' three-game Southern Confer-ence win streak at Paladin Stadium on October 21, 2017. Furman (5-3, 4-1) won its fifth straight game despite Mercer (4-4, 3-3) totaling 435 yards of offense, highlighted by Kaelan Riley's 289 yards on 26-of-34 passing. Chandler Curtis added 202 all-purpose yards, anchored by 112 receiving yards.

Furman responded to a 74-yard touchdown drive by Mercer with one of its own, going 89 yards on 13 plays to tie the game at 21-21 with 40 seconds remaining in the third quarter. It was the first of two consecutive touchdown drives by the Paladins that led them to their fifth straight victory.

Riley's heave to the end zone from the Furman 26-yard line was intercepted by Joe Farrar with three seconds left, ending the Bears' shot at forcing overtime in Greenville.

SCOUTING FURMANThe Paladins are winners of five of their last six games and remain in the SoCon regular season title hunt entering Saturday's finale.

One of the FCS' most disciplined teams, Furman ranks 14th nationally in fewest penalties commit-ted. Devin Wynn, who rushed for 112 yards and three touchdowns in a win at VMI last week, leads the Paladins with 587 rushing yards this season. Harris Roberts leads one of the FCS' most efficient passing offenses (7th nationally), having been intercepted just twice; he averages 129 passing yards per game.

FAMILIAR FACESMercer head coach Bobby Lamb – who starred at quarterback for Furman before serving 25 years on its coaching staff (nine as head coach) – willbe coaching against friend, former teammateand former staff member Clay Hendrix, who is in his second year as head coach at Furman, on Saturday.

Lamb and Hendrix grew up together in Commerce, Ga., where they won the 1981 Georgia Class AA state championship at Commerce High School. The duo went on to win three SoCon titles as Furman players (Hendrix played guard on offense line) and six SoCon titles and the 1988 national champion-ship as Furman coaches. Hendrix served as Lamb's assistant head coach from 2002-06 before taking a position at Air Force.

Lamb is 2-2 vs. Furman since taking thehelm at Mercer.

FROSTY THE QUARTERBACKOne week after making his collegiate debut under center in Mercer's loss to Wofford (Oct. 27), redshirt freshman and walk-on quarterback Harrison Frost made his first start against ETSU (Nov. 3). Frost, who also started at Chattanooga (Nov. 10) earned the opportunity due to injuries to Robert Riddle and Kaelan Riley. Frost was 15-for-31 passing with 186 yards and a pair of interceptions in the loss to ETSU. He struggled against the Mocs last week, completing just 7-of-22 passes, but did find Chris Ellington for a pivotal touchdown pass in the fourth quarter.

Frost, who is the team's starting placekick holder, played at Harrison High School and backed up current University of Georgia quarterback Justin Fields.

RECORD BREAKERMarquise Irvin continues to set the bar for future Mercer receivers during his dynamic senior season. Irvin became the first player in program history with 2,000 career receiving yards at Yale (Oct. 13). He also hauled in his 150th career reception at Yale; Irvin is already the program’s career leader in both receiving yards and receptions.

More recently, Irvin broke a tie with former team-mate Chandler Curtis (2014-17) for the most career touchdown receptions in program history when he hauled in his 17th at Wofford on Oct. 27.

#TEETIMETee Mitchell became Mercer’s career rushing leader on Oct. 20 vs. Western Carolina, as he ran for 157 yards to break Alex Lakes’ former record of 2,604 yards. Mitchell entered the Oct. 20 game needing 121 yards to break the record. The next Mercer record in sight for Mitchell is the career all-purpose yards record of 3,526 yards, held by Chandler Curtis (2014-17). Mitchell needs just 94 all-purpose yards to break Curtis’ mark.

Mitchell has rushed for more than 100 yards four times this season, giving him 10 career 100-yard rushing performances. No other active SoCon player has more than seven such performances in their careers.

still-young collegiate football career. The Midville, Ga., native has 16 receptions for 345 yards (21.5 yards per catch) and four receiving touchdowns while starting all nine games he's played in at wide receiver. The dynamic playmaker has also tallied one passing touchdown -- an 11-yard pass to QB Kaelan Riley on a trick play at Yale -- and one kickoff return touchdown, a program-long 95-yard return against Western Carolina. During the three games Mercer played in the month of October, Durden scored five total touchdowns on 12 touches and recorded 400 all-purpose yards.

PRO BALL TO THE SOCONDavid Durden took a unique road to arriving at Mercer. Originally a member of Mercer's 2017 signing class, Durden chose to pursue a career in professional baseball when he was selected by the Boston Red Sox in the 20th round of the 2017 MLB First-Year Player Draft.

Durden, a native of Midville, Ga., played 30 games in the Red Sox's system in the Gulf Coast League and batted .220 with nine RBI and seven runs scored before voluntarily retiring and shifting his focus back to college football.

HARD-FOUGHT BATTLEThe 2018 season has proved to be difficult for Mercer's defense, known as the "Legion of Chaos" due to injuries to multiple starters and a lack of turnovers generated. But the Bears' defensive unit finally churned out a four-quarter effort at Chattanooga on Nov. 10, holding the Mocs without a touchdown in the 13-9 victory.

The performance was the first time that Mercer has held a SoCon opponent without a touchdown since joining the league in 2014. The Bears also tallied 11.0 tackles for loss, highlighted by a career-high three from defensive end Isaiah Buehler. Mercer forced and recovered one fumble and additionally created two turnovers on downs, including one on its own goal line.

NO STOPPING THIS TRAINOnce sophomore running back Tyray Devezin gets going, its hard to stop him. Mercer's backup back has proven to be difficult to bring down on first contact as he's bulldozed his way to a team-leading 741 yards and eight touchdowns while averaging 5.5 yards per carry.

With top running back Tee Mitchell out due to injury vs. ETSU (Nov. 3) and Chattanooga (Nov. 10), Devezin handled 52 carries for 186 rushing yards and two touchdowns. He's also had an increased role in the passing game, catching three passes for 47 yards.

RED MEANS GOMercer is 33-of-36 (24 touchdowns) when reaching the red zone on offense so far this season, ranking seventh nationally. It is a trend that has carried over from last season, when Mercer ranked fifth in red zone offense, scoring on 91.4 percent of its trips (32-for-35), including 25 touchdowns.

LAMB CLIMBING RANKSMercer’s Bobby Lamb, who is in his 15th season as a head coach, won his 100th career game vs. Jacksonville on Sept. 8. Lamb is fourth in league history with 94 wins as a SoCon coach, as he was 10-2 in 2013, when the Bears were members of the Pioneer Football League.

Lamb is in his sixth season at Mercer and fifth since the Bears joined the SoCon. His first nine seasons as a head coach were spent at Furman.

SoCon Wins Leaders Wins1. Jerry Moore (Appalachian State) 2152. Wallace Wade (Alabama, Duke) 1713. Mike Ayers (ETSU, Wofford) 1564. Bobby Lamb (Furman, Mercer) 945. D.C. Walker (Wake Forest) 77

THUNDER DOWN UNDERMercer punter Matt Shiel is not your average col-lege football player. A native of Doncaster, Austra-lia, Shiel will turn 29 years old in February, making him a decade older than some of his teammates.

Shiel played his freshman year (2014) at Auburn be-fore transferring to Mercer for the 2015 season, when he earned All-SoCon Second Team honors. Shiel then left Mercer, returning home to Australia where he enrolled at Victoria University (Melbourne, Austra-lia) for two years, but did not compete.

Shiel's return to Mercer has been pivotal for the Bears, as he ranks 14th in the FCS in yards per punt (43.1) and has helped Mercer rank third nationally lead the nation in net yards per punt (39.8).

HOUZ-YA DADDYSenior Stephen Houzah has done a bit of every-thing for Mercer since switching from cornerback to wide receiver for his final college season.

Houzah has four touchdown receptions and one rushing touchdown this season; no other active SoCon player has at least one career receiving TD, rushing TD and interception. Houzah is tied for Mercer's career record with six interceptions.

Houzah leads the SoCon with 17.2 yards per catch. He has 27 receptions for 465 yards this season, both ranking him second on Mercer in both categories. Houzah also set a program record with 177 kick return yards at Chattanooga (Nov. 10).

BOBBY LAMB - HEAD COACHSince guiding the Bears through a return to the gridiron in 2013, following a 72-year hiatus, Bobby Lamb has continued to build the Mercer football program into a focal point of Macon and the surrounding Middle Georgia communities.

Lamb enters his sixth season as Mercer’s head football coach in 2018 and will lead a squad that returns 18 starters from the year prior and placed eight student-athletes on the 2018 Preseason All-Southern Conference team. Named the 19th head football coach in program history in 2011, Lamb led the Bears to immediate success in their first season of action in 2013, claiming the third 10-win season of his coaching career and setting the NCAA Division I record for wins by a first-year program with a 10-2 campaign. Since 2013 he has led Mercer to wins against four nationally-ranked FCS teams, including No. 3 Chattanooga in 2015.

During his tenure guiding Furman’s program, Lamb had a 67-40 record (.626) as its head coach. He led the Paladins to winning records in eight of his nine seasons and made four trips to the NCAA I-AA (now Football Championship Series) playoffs, reaching the quarterfinals in 2004 and the semifinals in 2005. Lamb is a 1982 graduate of Commerce (Ga.) High School and went on to earn his B.A. in health and exercise science from Furman in 1987. He also earned his M.Ed. degree from Furman in health and exercise science in 1992. Lamb, who was born on Christmas Eve in 1962, is married to the former Allyson Acker. The couple has two children: a daughter, Sallie, and a son, Taylor.
