11/20/21 - QB Will Rogers, rSr/2025, Washington

Mississippi State quarterback Will Rogers broke Dak Prescott's single-season program record for passing touchdowns on the Bulldogs' first drive Saturday against Tennessee State. Then he surpassed Prescott's mark in passing yards on their second possession. And he was far from done. Rogers threw for 391 yards and five touchdowns to lead the Bulldogs to a 55-10 rout of the Tigers on Saturday in Starkville. "I think it was kind of a tough time to play us and not such a bad time to play them," said Bulldogs head coach Mike Leach, who picked up his 150th career win. Mississippi State (7-4, 4-3 SEC) clinched bowl eligibility last week with a comeback win at Auburn and won Saturday for the fourth time in five games. The Bulldogs looked sharp in their tune-up before Thursday's Egg Bowl rivalry game with Ole Miss.

Austin Williams caught three touchdown passes from Rogers, who finished 28-of-34 passing. Rogers also hit Makai Polk and Malik Heath for touchdowns, while Jo'quavious Marks and Dillon Johnson each rushed for scores. Rogers' 21-yard toss to Williams to cap a strong opening drive was the sophomore signal-caller's 30th touchdown of the year, while an 8-yard pass to Jamire Calvin on the second series pushed him past the 3,793 passing yards Prescott posted in 2015. Rogers finished the game with 4,113 yards with one regular-season game and a bowl game remaining. "Anytime to have your name in the same company as Dak Prescott, it's pretty incredible," Rogers said. "I never really imagined that would happen." Rogers threw six touchdowns with no interceptions last week at Auburn to lead the Bulldogs to the 25-point comeback win. He's now thrown 34 touchdown passes against eight interceptions this season. - Mississippi State/AP College Football
