For the fourth time in five games, sophomore transfer Tyson Roy gained over 100 yards rushing. Roy, who leads the SCAC in all-purpose yardage with an average of 152 yards per game, had 18 carries for 113 yards. Roy's 103 rushing yards per game also places him third in the conference. This is the third consecutive week that he has gained over 100 yards.

Despite the effort by the Majors, they were not able to overcome two late first quarter touchdowns by the Fighting Engineers who won 14-7. Millsaps received the opening kickoff, but was forced to punt at its own 45 yard line. The Majors' defense, led by linebackers Matt Kirkpatrick and Marshall Brown with nine tackles a piece, forced Rose-Hulman into an 11 play, clock eating drive. The Fighting Engineers were able to punch the ball in for a touchdown with 6:47 left in the first. The extra point kick failed.

After the Majors were forced to punt on their next consecutive drive, the defense held strong again despite short yardage, and managed to force Rose-Hulman into another clock eating drive. However, Rose-Hulman was able to run the ball in from the five yard line and complete a two point conversion. With only 1:47 left in the first quarter and leading 14-0, Rose-Hulman looked ready to put the game away, but the Majors defense did not allow another point.

The Millsaps defense awoke, showing why they rank second in the conference in total defense and first in points allowed. For the rest of the game, the Rose-Hulman offense was virtually nonexistant. The stingiest defense in the SCAC forced three turnovers (two INT, one fumble recovery) and made four fourth down stops.

But despite an early third quarter touchdown pass from Brandon Morris to tight end Nick Madison, the Majors were not able to even the score. Millsaps finished the game with 251 total yards in offense. The Majors' defense allowed only 299 total yards, more than 10 yards less than their average.
