Mack warmed up taking punts with Bernier before the game. DeLong apparently didn't dress; he was not on the field warming up with Bernier and Wilson.

Looks like Mack Wilson is actually our backup punter now.

Has Bernier been with the team from fall camp or did he just come along recently?

Remember how some said Saban wouldn't process Delong?

He gone.

Alabama to start walk-on Mike Bernier at punter vs. Tennessee LINK ... 2 days ago - After being stuck behind JK Scott for two years and losing his mother to breast cancer, Alabama walk-on Mike Bernier will start at punter this ...


I believe he came back home to Alabama after his Mother's diagnosis.Walked on at Bama even though he knew he would be J.K. Scott's back-up.

2 punts.41 yd average.I'll take it.

U can only take so many players on an SEC road game, so dead weight who you know wont play or will be RS stays home.

Saban isn't gonna give up on a player so quickly. He sure didn't make it seem in the press conference that Delong was getting processed.

I wish people wouldn’t trash DeLong. He can still get his shot again next year.

Happy for Bernier though.

Oh, right. My math is bad. That 12 yard punt screwed everyone.

70. So at least 17 scholarship players stay home since snapper and punter are Walk On’s.

He isn't getting processed. SEC teams can only take 70 players for road games, so 15 scholarship players at a minimum miss every road game. You aren't going to waste one of those spots on a backup punter.

Mack is the defacto emergency backup to save the roster spot. He isn't actually the backup punter.
