Mississippi State quarterback Dak Prescott was a serious candidate to win the Heisman Trophy at this time last year.
These days, that's not the case.
But Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen said that in many ways, Prescott is playing better than he did in 2014. The senior is having a quietly effective season, throwing for 1,373 yards, eight touchdowns and no interceptions. He's thrown 231 passes without an interception dating back to last season, which is a school record.
Mullen said a quarterback's development has little to do with flashy plays.
