They were looking for things to click on the offensive side of the ball.

                On Saturday in Jackson, Miss., it did for the Berry football team and did so in record fashion – literally.

                Led by freshmen running backs Brandon Cade and Josh Rogers, who found the holes early and often from Berry's offensive line to rush for a combined 320 yards, the Vikings broke back into the win column with the best offensive output in the program's history when they rolled to a 49-21 Southern Athletic Association romp over Millsaps.

                All told, Berry broke six records for the afternoon as the Vikings snapped a two-game losing skid to improve their overall record to 3-2 and even their SAA slate to 1-1.

                Entering the game, head coach Tony Kunczewski was hoping that the team would find its identity as it reached the halfway point of the season, especially on offense.

                The Vikings did just that against the Majors and it came on the ground.

                Cade finished the game setting a new single-game Berry record averaging 18.7 yards a carry as he ran for 187 yards – the second most ever in a game for the Vikings – on 10 carries and scored three touchdowns, and the Vikings' offense set team records for most total yards in a game (614), most rushing yards (459), most all-purpose yards (734), the highest yards per carry (9.6) and most yards per play (9.4.)

                Rogers was Berry's other weapon in the team's dual-edged running sword as he rolled up 140 yards on eight carries and scored a touchdown. His 17.5 yards per carry statistic is the second highest in program history behind Cade.

                After Millsaps (1-4, 1-1) grabbed the early lead reaching the end zone less than a minute into the game, Berry responded minutes later when Cade broke free for a 68-yard scoring run with Matthew Syverson tying the game with his first of seven extra points.

                The Vikings closed out the opening quarter taking the lead when quarterback Gavin Gray hit TJ Watkins with a 64-yard touchdown pass, but the Majors deadlocked the game early in the second period.

                That's when Berry's offense shifted gears and took off.

                With 7:34 to go in the half, the Vikings took the lead for good when Cade found paydirt again, this time from 15-yards out to cap a six-play, 70-yard drive, and with 31 second left before the intermission Berry went to the air again, this time with Gray hooking up with Cameron Kawa for a 9-yard scoring toss to give the Vikings a 28-14 lead at the break.

                The Vikings resumed its scoring deluge late in the third quarter on a 56-yard TD jaunt by Cade and a 53-yard scoring run by Rogers, and midway through the final stanza Berry closed out the romp on a 3-yard touchdown run by Hunter Kautz.

                Joining Cade and Rogers in the ground attack was Jonahan Maisonave, who ran for 66 more yards.
 
                Gray recorded his best outing of the season completing 10 of 17 passes for 155 yards and the two touchdowns, with Kawa coming up with four catches for 37 yards as six different receivers were targeted.
 
                Defensively, the Vikings held Millsaps quarterback Kaleb Thompson, last week's SAA Offensive Player of the Week, to just 141 passing yards.
 
                Connor Cheyunski led the Vikings with seven tackles, while Jake Weitkamp and Colby Brookshire had a sack each, and Kuannas Walker and Will Henley combined for a sack.
 
                The Vikings are back home at Valhalla next Saturday when they host Sewanee for an SAA tilt starting at 3 p.m.
