ATLANTA- Millsaps Majors John McDowell and Jeff Milner were named the special teams and defensive conference players of the week by the Southern Athletic Association. 

McDowell consistently gave the Majors short fields by averaging over 30 yards per return (4 returns for 121 yards) in the win over LaGrange. McDowell had a long of 42 and gave the Majors good field position all afternoon long. 

Milner was an absolute beast against the Panthers offensive line. The defensive end registered three and a half sacks, including two "strip-sacks" where he forced a fumble on the hit. Both of his forced fumbles were recovered by the Majors. Milner registered seven tackles overall on the afternoon and his 3 and a half sacks set LaGrange back a total of 28 yards. 

The Majors forced six fumbles in the 28-24 win over LaGrange on Saturday to move to 2-0. They will look to make it 3-0 when they welcome in the Point University Skyhawks on Saturday for a 1pm kick off.
