CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Next week, the Mississippi State football team will report back to school. Not among those returning to campus for classwork is now-former quarterback Dak Prescott.
The man who rewrote the MSU record book and took the Bulldogs to heights never seen before closed out his career on Wednesday with a 51-28 beatdown of NC State in the Belk Bowl.
Prescott won recognition as the game’s Most Valuable Player. It still hasn’t sunk in for MSU head coach Dan Mullen that he’ll never again oversee an award-winning performance from Prescott.
“It’s probably not going to really set in until March when we walk out to the practice field and he won’t be there,” Mullen said after the game.
