Football: Majors Crust South Alabama 56-12

Millsaps College --  A solid first half of play propelled Millsaps College to a 56-12 victory over first time opponent South Alabama on Saturday. The Majors, who tallied the game's first 29 points, racked up 339 yards of total offense and improved their record to 2-1 on the season. The Jaguars, who could only muster 24 net yards against a stingy Millsaps defense, fell to 2-1.

Sophomore quarterback Brandon Morris rushed for two touchdowns on the evening and completed 9 of 14 passes for 86 yards, while senior running back Brent LeJeune added two touchdowns of his own with scoring runs of 9 and 18 yards in the first half.

Senior defensive back Reggie Young turned out an impressive performance on special teams as he blocked one punt for a safety and recovering another blocked punt for a touchdown.

Senior defensive back Jahreese Jones also recovered a fumble for a touchdown and sophomore quarterback Garner Wetzel and sophomore fullback Brett Burgess each registered a touchdown to round out the scoring for the Majors.

South Alabama managed their points in the second half when quarterback Kevin Sims delivered a 5 yard and a 32 yard scoring strike to receiver Jay Crocker.

The Majors will continue their non-conference season on the road next week as they head to Tennessee to battle to Fighting Scots of Maryville College. Kickoff is slated for 1:30 p.m. EST.
