Maryville, TN -- Quarterback Brandon Morris rushed for a career high four touchdowns as the Majors, 3-1, defeated Maryville College on Saturday, totaling a season high 503 yards of offense in the process.
Morris ran 17 times for 74 yards, only third best on the Majors' rushing ledger. Brent LeJeune carried 23 times for 124 yards and Jay Liles rushed seven times for 98 yards as the Majors racked up 336 yards on the ground.
Morris, who also completed 8 of 13 passes for a career high 167 yards, scored on scampers of 8, 5, 3, and 3 yards, while LeJeune added a 3-yard touchdown.
Said Morris after his impressive performance, "We executed well today. For the first time this year, our offense moved down the field like we know it can."
Liles was the leading receiver with three catches for 55 yards.
After giving up three first half touchdowns, the Majors' stingy defense shutout Maryville in the second frame. All-American linebacker Matt O'Bryant contributed a game-high 15 tackles, while Jahreese Jones and Craig Bowman each charted an interception.
With the win, Millsaps captured its first road victory since a 58-16 triumph over Rose-Hulman on Oct. 14, 2000. The Majors open Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference play this Saturday, hosting Centre in a 6 p.m. kickoff.
