What a ballgame!!

QB ratings for the game:

Riddell: 200.6
Payton: 171.3

Here's an amazing stat: 50(!) total first downs. 944 total yds. gained total.
The Bears gained an avg. of 8.0 yds. a play.

The interceptions were indeed "big" - led to 10 ETSU points.

Lots of ways to point at stats, and this or that "winning the game", but really, it was just about a dead-even dogfight. And I agree with other posters, that Mercer deserves to go to the playoffs, too, altho that may be a long shot.
