Dak Prescott completed 23 of 43 passes for 213 yards today. More importantly, Prescott played – and started – in his first game in the NFL, fulfilling his childhood dream of being the quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys.
In Starkville, where Prescott spent the last five years and where his most recent regular season game was played, you might have thought it was the second Mississippi State gameday of the weekend. Typically, Mississippi is New Orleans Saints country, with a little bit of Tennessee Titans and a smidge of Green Bay Packers mixed in.
On Sunday, Starkville turned blue for the afternoon to watch their record-breaking hero make his debut as a rookie at the next level.
