JACKSON, Miss. – Spring may be in full swing, but the Millsaps football team is already eyeing a fall return to play at Harper Davis Field. The Majors announced their 10-game autumn schedule, which will feature five home games, on Tuesday.
Further details regarding ticket information, theme nights and fan policy will be announced at a later date, but Millsaps will be back to full action following an abbreviated spring slate. The Majors closed their four-game spring schedule with an emphatic 27-13 win over Rhodes. Millsaps also garnered 11 All-Conference awards, with six honorees planning on returning in the fall.
"I am very excited about this team and the individuals that will be coming back," said Millsaps head football coach
Isaac Carter. "The guys are highly motivated to compete and aim for our number one goal, which is to win the Southern Athletic Association conference titles."
The Majors will kick off the fall calendar on Thursday, Sept. 2 at 7 p.m. against crosstown rival Belhaven in the Riverside Rumble. Millsaps has claimed the last two contests in the series.
A trip to Waxahachie, Texas then awaits the Majors as they will face NAIA foe Southwestern Assemblies of God University (SAGU) on Saturday, Sept. 18 at 12 p.m.
Millsaps will open its home slate the following week on Saturday, Sept. 25 against Olivet College at noon. It will be the first all-time meeting between the Majors and the Michigan-based opponent.
The season will then shift to SAA conference play in the months of October and November. Millsaps will head to Memphis to face Rhodes on Oct. 2, looking for its third consecutive win versus the Lynx at 2 p.m.
The Majors will next host defending SAA champions Berry on Oct. 9 at 2 p.m. Millsaps will then trek to San Antonio, Texas to tussle with Trinity on Oct. 16 at noon.
Two consecutive home games then present themselves at Harper Davis Field for the Majors. Millsaps first welcomes in Centre on Oct. 23 at 12 p.m., followed by Sewanee on Oct. 30 at 1 p.m.
Hendrix is on deck next as the Majors trek to Little Rock for a 6 p.m. tilt inside War Memorial Stadium on Nov. 6. Millsaps will then conclude the regular season at home on Nov. 13 against Birmingham-Southern, beginning at 1 p.m.
