Prescott ends stellar career with another big game

There’s a good reason Mississippi State assistant coach David Turner has felt nostalgic this week. Back in 2012 Duke and Cincinnati played out one of the wildest finishes in bowl history.

Reed said that her and some of her friends made the trek up for the game and had great seats. The Mississippi State offense is averaging 33 points per game with 311.1 passing yards per game and 140.3 rushing yards per game.

Of the 44 FBS quarterbacks who have attempted at least 350 passes, Brissett, Prescott, Memphis’ Paxton Lynch and Miami’s Brad Kaaya are the only with four or fewer interceptions.

WET WEATHER: The forecast for Charlotte on Wednesday is steady rain, which could make for an added emphasis on running the football and may to play to North Carolina State’s advantage. It’s an intriguing match up they’ll have against Dak Prescott who will have to be pressured early and often for the Wolfpack to gain traction. “They are coming from out of town so I don’t think it will really matter”. Two possessions later Brissett threw his second pick of the day; only the third time in his collegiate career he would be picked off twice in a single game. “There’s two things that happen, you have struggle in your life and you deal with struggle”.

For the contest, the Bulldogs finished with 569 yards of total offense. The momentum was gone-MSU had a three-score lead at the break, and it got the ball to start the third.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Jeremy Johnson came off the bench to run and pass for touchdowns, lifting Auburn to a 31-10 victory over Memphis in the Birmingham Bowl. All in all, hardly the sort of ground game that will let a team win twice as many games as it loses, but then most teams don’t have Prescott as a quarterback. Auburn (7-6) avoided the first losing season of coach Gus Malzahn’s 11-year college career.

Former West Point standout Aeris Williams scored on a 33-yard run in the closing minutes to cap the scoring for MSU. If 12-1 Alabama plays at the caliber of a top-tier SEC program, run home little kitties.

The senior quarterback was superb, finishing 25 for 42 passes with four touchdowns, 380 passing yards and an interception.

Doeren hasn’t given any indication that he will make any changes to his coaching staff. The Wolfpack will have numerous same starters back on defense next season.

The Bulldogs won nine games in back-to-back seasons for the first time in school history and Prescott had a 23-10 record as a starter over three years. From an opening atrocity by North Carolina against SC in the Belk College Kickoff (17-13) and a disastrous Tar Heels loss in the ACC championship game (45-37 to Clemson), the league has shown flashes of brilliance, but never sustainable performances.
