SUWANEE, Ga. - Juan Joseph of Millsaps College, a 6-2, 178-pound sophomore quarterback from Edgard, La., has been selected the SCAC Football Offensive Player-of-the-Week for games played Saturday, September 30.

Joseph passed for a school-record tying five touchdown passes as the Majors posted a 52-10 victory over Lincoln University (Mo.) in front of a hungry Millsaps crowd on "Purple Pride Day" Saturday at Harper Davis Field.

Joseph, who completed 18 of 35 passes for 275 yards, is the first Millsaps quarterback to throw for five TDs in a single game since Beau Pollard led the Majors to a 52-16 win over Greenville (Ill.) College in 1997.

He is also the first SCAC quarterback to toss five TD passes in a game since Daniel Swanstrom of Rhodes accomplished the feat at Rose-Hulman on Oct. 9, 2004, and it is just the ninth time this decade a SCAC quarterback has pulled off the feat.

For the season, Joseph has completed 50 of 91 passes for league-leading totals of 756 yards and nine touchdowns. He also leads the league in total offense at 256.0 yards per game and is third in passing efficiency with a rating of 142.0.

Millsaps will play its fifth home game in six weeks, when they host Centre College in its Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference opener at Harper Davis Field on Saturday, Oct. 7.  Game time is slated for a 1 p.m. start.
