And now, the end is near.
Dak Prescott’s final song, his encore performance, his last game, ever, in a Mississippi State uniform. December 30th in Charlotte at the Belk Bowl, it’s Dak’s curtain call. He knew it would come eventually, as did anyone keeping track of his career. For better or worse, that’s just how college football works. Coaches may stay the same, though even those often don’t, but players always have the same cycle. They come in as freshmen, anxious to take on the college world. They soon realize they’re not quite ready and careers progress at the same rates of their minds and bodies.
