ABC News reported that Mercer rallied from behind to defeat The Citadel 28-19. According to the outlet's summary of its ABC News report on the game, JP Pickles threw three touchdown passes and ran for one other, and all four of those scoring plays came in the second half.

The outlet described the result as a "come-from-behind" win. The summary does not say how far behind Mercer was at any point in the game, what the score was at halftime, or how the four second-half touchdowns were spaced across that period. Those details are absent from the material reviewed for this story, and this report does not supply them.

The headline and summary of the ABC News report agree on the final score of 28-19 and on the central role of Pickles in the second-half scoring. The summary gives The Citadel's total only as the 19-point figure in the final score, with no further breakdown of how that total was reached in the material reviewed.

No other news outlet's account of the game was available for this story, so no competing descriptions can be compared with the ABC News account. Where that report is silent, this story is also silent, and it should not be read as confirming or disputing any point the report leaves out.

Pickles is the individual the report names as responsible for four of Mercer's second-half touchdowns, a total that the headline attributes to him directly. The full ABC News report, linked above, is the only source used for the facts stated in this story.
