JACKSON,MS- Millsaps senior defensive end Jeff Milner and sophomore punter Ben Dudley have been named to the D3 Football Team of the Week for their efforts in the win over Berry.
For Milner, the award comes off the heels of his SAA Defender of the Week nod yesterday. Milner led the Majors with 11 stops, including three for loss totaling 17 yards. The senior also recorded a sack and two QB hurries. He led a defense that limited Berry to just 94 yards through the air and 169 yards of total offense.
This is the second straight week for Dudley as the national punter of the week. This week, Dudley turned the tables in a field position battle against Berry. Dudley punted eight times for a 37 yard average, but more importantly, pinned Berry inside their own 20 four times. Perhaps more impressively, of his eight punts, only one was returned for a mere five yards.
Millsaps hits the road this week, travelling to Danvile, Kentucky to take on the #22 Centre Colonels. Kick-off is set for 1:30pm Eastern/12:30pm Central.
