Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen found an unusual parallel when discussing the threat of Auburn quarterback Sean White.
The comparison? Somebody who’s familiar to the crowds in Starkville.
Mullen compared the Tigers’ quarterback to former Mississippi State star Dak Prescott during his weekly news conference Monday before the matchup against Auburn at Davis Wade Stadium.
White and Prescott aren’t often compared, but Mullen sees similarities, particularly in their approach to running the ball.
“Good decision-maker, accurate passer, very, very willing runner. … He might not be the game-breaker that some guys are, but he reminds me a lot like Dak Prescott was as a runner for us,” Mullen said.
