Here’s our weekly look at a few interesting stats to keep you aware of what’s going on around the SEC.
Nick Fitzgerald vs. Dak Prescott as sophomores
Stats-wise, Mississippi State sophomore Nick Fitzgerald actually is ahead of Dak Prescott at the same stage of their careers. Now, Fitzgerald isn’t Prescott, but the numbers sure do compare from sophomore year to sophomore year.
This is Fitzgerald’s first season as the starter; 2013 was Prescott’s first season as the starter (he got the job when Tyler Russell went down in the opener against Oklahoma State).
Through the first eight games of Prescott’s campaign, he was 86-of-150 (57 percent) for 1,158 yards, five touchdowns and three interceptions.
