JACKSON, Miss. -- The Millsaps College football team will open up Southern Athletic Association (SAA) this weekend.

Saturday night the Majors will host the Lynx of Rhodes College.

Last Time Out
Last week, Millsaps went on the road for the first time in 2019. The Majors traveled to Missouri for a non-conference matchup with the Westminster College Blue Jays. 

Westminster scored first on a field goal, but Millsaps responded with 35 unanswered points en route to a 35-10 win. 

After leading the Majors with a game-high ten receptions for 102 yards and three touchdowns, Austin Russell was named the Southern Athletic Association Offensive Player of the Week. 

Millsaps enters conference play with a 2-0 overall record.

Saturday: Rhodes College (0-2, 0-0 SAA), 7:00 p.m., Harper Davis Field
The Lynx enter Saturday's matchup off of a 30-0 loss to the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. Rhodes has been outscored 52-7 so far this season.
