CHARLOTTE, N.C. – With 30 seconds to play in the Belk Bowl on Wednesday, Mississippi State head coach Dan Mullen called a timeout. MSU was in complete control, but it was time to say farewell to the greatest Bulldog to ever wear maroon and white.
Quarterback Dak Prescott jogged off the field at Bank of America Stadium, pointed to the sky and embraced backup Nick Fitzgerald, who came in to take his place. Prescott called it a career. He couldn’t have ended things on a much higher note.
Prescott was named the Belk Bowl Most Valuable Player after engineering an offense that shredded NC State as the Bulldogs topped the Wolfpack 51-28 in the rain and put the exclamation point on the MSU signal caller’s illustrious career.
