DANVILLE, Ky. – The Millsaps Majors got on the board first and never trailed this afternoon, defeating Centre College 30-18 for their fourth conference win and fifth on the season.

The Majors capitalized on a Colonel fumble on the Millsaps 12-yard line that would almost certainly have given Centre the early lead. Marvis O'Sirio forced the fumble after a 13-yard loss on the broken play that was recovered by Will Hawkins, giving the Majors control. Eleven plays and 75 yards later Garrett Pinciotti connected on a short route to Jason O'Rear for two yards to put the Majors up six.

The Major defense held Centre to just a field goal on their next possession, cutting the lead to 6-3. But, just one play into the second quarter the Majors completed a 10-play, 80-yard drive down the field to put the game squarely in their control. Pinciotti connected again with O'Rear, this time for 49 yards, to put Millsaps up 16-3.

Centre was able to put up two touchdowns in the final quarter, but by that point the Majors were already too far ahead. Garrett Pinciotti completed three touchdown passes on the day, the two to O'Rear and one more to Bryce Haddad for seven yards. The final Major touchdown of the day came on a 12-yard rush from Shane Bowser.

Bowser led the ground attack for the Majors with 153 yards on the day in 25 attempts for an average of 6.1 yards per carry. Jason O'Rear had the most receiving yards with 119 in seven catches for a 17 yard per catch average.

The win moves the Majors to 5-3 on the season and 4-1 in SCAC-play. They will return to Harper Davis Field next Saturday to host the final home game of the 2010 season with the Sewanee Tigers at 1:00 p.m. The Majors will honor their 14 seniors during the game.
