JACKSON, Miss. – In its final home game of the season, the Millsaps College football team had the ball deep inside Centre College territory with a chance to tie the game, but the Majors could not get any points on the board and the Colonels came away with a 28-13 victory in a Southern Athletic Association (SAA) contest. Senior Bubba White (High Point, N.C.) came off the bench to throw for a career-high 221 yards and a pair of scores for Millsaps.
 
Centre (7-1, 5-1 SAA) put the first points on the board late in the first quarter. After its defense pinned Millsaps (3-5, 2-4 SAA) deep in its own territory, the Colonels started their next drive on the Millsaps 37. Four plays later quarterback Devin Hayes connected with Jordan Gunter on a 23-yard scoring play for a 7-0 lead at the 4:39 mark. After holding the Majors to a three-and-out, Centre struck again on its next possession, putting the ball in the end zone on the first play of the second quarter, a 18-yard pass from Hayes to Austin Hayes to make it 14-0.
 
Late in the second quarter White came into the game when Millsaps' starting quarterback, senior Ty Proctor (Columbiana, Ala.) was knocked out of the game. His first pass was a 41-yard completion to freshman John Bourgeois (Sulpher, La.), and it sparked the Millsaps offense. The play gave the Majors the ball on the Centre 11 and two plays later White hit junior Ty Durham (Geronimo, Texas) for an 11-yard score, capping a 98-yard drive with just a minute left in the half.
 
After a missed field goal on the first Millsaps possession of the second half, Centre pushed its lead back up to a pair of scores when the Colonels went 77 yards in 12 plays, finishing drive when Hayes tossed his third TD pass of the game, a 12-yard completion to Cody Estep.
 
Millsaps wasted no time in answering, as White completed two passes on the Majors next drive, one of 26 yards to freshman Fritz Walker III (Madisonville, La.) and the other a 37-yard scoring strike to junior Kain Mitchell (Slidell, La.). The extra-point was blocked however, leaving the score at 21-13 in Centre's favor with 1:08 left in the third.
 
After the first Millsaps drive in the fourth quarter was halted on an interception, the Majors defense held on Centre's next possession, and Millsaps took over on its own 29 with 8:46 to play. Senior Isaiah Talton (Dallas, Texas) started the drive with three runs for a total of 32 yards before White connected with Mitchell for 26 more yards down to the Centre 13. The Majors got down to the 10, but three straight incompletions halted the drive. Centre then put the game away with a 90-yard drive that ended with a three-yard pass from Hayes to Davis Kannapell with just 59 seconds left.
