WEEK 1 CHAMPION

Kamario Taylor

27/38, 360 YDS, 3 TD, 1 INT, 85.1 QBR

W 31-24 vs Missouri Tigers — vs. Missouri

The sophomore from Macon went 27/38 for 360 yards and 3 touchdowns in the 31-24 win over No. 25 Missouri — Mississippi State's first ranked win of the season and the performance that moved him from 25-1 to +550 on the Heisman board in two weeks. No FBS quarterback threw for 400 yards in Week 4 (closest: Davis Warren, 396 vs Georgia Tech), which makes this the week's cleanest passing performance on a winning side against a ranked opponent.
