The Tigers looked good on that opening drive, too. In total it was an 11-play, 68 yard march, taking just over five minutes off the clock.
Hunter is set for a big year in a solid running back room. He totaled 593 yards and 3 touchdowns on 89 attempts last season, complementing fellow back Tank Bigsby well as a second option.
The Tigers lead Mercer 14-0 as the second quarter nears.
