Bulldogs quarterback Dak Prescott has 371 yards rushing and 2,048 yards passing this season.
COLUMBIA, Mo. -- More than ever, Missouri needs its defense to step up. No one's been able to stop No. 24 Mississippi State and the Tigers can't score.
Led by prolific quarterback Dak Prescott, the Bulldogs could give Missouri (4-4, 1-4 Southeastern Conference) its biggest test of the season. Mississippi State is averaging 35.1 points and has enjoyed victory margins of 28, 25 and 26 points.
"I admire the way he plays the game," Missouri defensive coordinator Barry Odom said.
