DANVILLE, Ky. – Senior receiver Eric McCarty moved into second on Millsaps' all-time reception list with 10 catches for 101 yards and a score and senior defensive back Marcus Harris picked up his 14th career interception as the Majors earned a tough win Saturday afternoon at Centre, 46-26, to move to 6-0 overall.

Despite being outgained in total yards 398-368, Millsaps built off a 20-7 halftime lead and held off three late touchdowns from the home team over the final 12:34 to win its eighth-straight game dating back to last year.

Centre (3-3, 2-2 Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference) responded to an early touchdown just five minutes into the game from Millsaps, as Tyler Osterman connected with John Coomer from 8-yards out to tie the game at 7-7 after the first quarter.

The Majors would settle in and score 26 unanswered points over the next two quarters to blow the game open at 33-7, as Taylor Russolino knocked through a pair of field goals (22, 37), Juan Joseph tossed two TDs and Shane Bowser ran in from 2-yards out.

In an offense filled fourth quarter, the Colonels outscored Millsaps 19-13 to make the final margin 46-26.
