Jaylen King Accounts For Six Touchdowns In Mercer's Victory Over Presbyterian

Jaylen King put on a dominant display Saturday night as 19th-ranked Mercer demolished Presbyterian 62-3 in a game cut short by lightning with two minutes remaining. AP News reported that King accounted for six touchdowns—four passing and two rushing—to lead the Bears' offensive explosion.
King was nearly perfect in limited action, completing 12 of 15 passes for 236 yards and four touchdowns. AP News noted the quarterback also rushed for two scores on the ground. Backup JP Pickles contributed one passing touchdown and one rushing touchdown in the blowout victory.
Mercer's offense was unstoppable, accumulating 600 total yards of offense according to AP News. The Bears controlled the line of scrimmage and dictated the pace throughout the lopsided matchup. Presbyterian's defense had no answer for Mercer's high-powered attack.
Freshman Devon Caldwell rushed for 152 yards on just 11 carries, including an 83-yard touchdown that marks the longest scoring run in Mercer history AP News reported. Caldwell's explosive performance showcased the depth of Mercer's offensive weapons. The young running back proved he belongs in the Bears' rotation.
The game was called with two minutes remaining due to lightning in the Macon, Georgia area AP News said. By that point, Mercer had already secured an overwhelming victory. The early finish prevented further scoring but didn't diminish the Bears' dominant performance.
