Kamario Taylor has taken the nation by storm as he’s been red hot to begin this season for the No. 16 Mississippi State Bulldogs. The program has a tough matchup in Week 5 against the No. 7 Alabama Crimson Tide, but ESPN’s Paul Finebaum seems to believe the Bulldogs have the best player on the field in this one.
During the SEC Network’s pregame show on Saturday morning, Finebaum pondered whether or not Taylor is a better college football player than Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, who attended Mississippi State from 2012 to 2015. It appears Finebaum is wildly impressed with the program’s sophomore signal-caller and can’t wait to see what he does against the Crimson Tide.
“We came here 10 years ago, and [Mississippi State] had Dak Prescott,” Finebaum said. “They were undefeated, and I’m not gonna go on a limb and make some ridiculous statement. I’ll save that for later in the show. But they have a quarterback now that may be better than Dak Prescott: Kamario Taylor.”
