JACKSON, MS- Majors punter Ben Dudley and safety Alex Jackson were each named to the D3Football.com National Team of the Week for their efforts in the win over Sewanee.
It's the second week in a row for the senior Alex Jackson. This week Jackson busted up a Sewanee option pitch play and took the ensuing fumble 47 yards for a touchdown on the final play of the third quarter. It is the second straight week for Jackson to find the end zone after going 73-yards on a scoop and score against Birmingham Southern. Additionally, Jackson had eight tackles on defense including one for loss and broke up a pass in the win.
The sophomore Dudley boomed a trio of punts for the Majors to the tune of 49 yards a kick. All three of Dudley's punts pinned the Tigers inside their own 20. None of Dudley's punts were returned with two being downed.
The Majors have a short week this week as they travel to Georgia to take on the Berry Vikings. The teams will meet on Friday night due to scheduling conflicts with Berry's stadium. Kick-off on Halloween is set for 7:00 PM Eastern/ 6:00PM Central.
