Mississippi State’s Kamario Taylor and Anthony Evans III are dominating the national scene after a jaw-dropping Week Two performance. Taylor, the quarterback, earned Maxwell Award Player of the Week honors with a flawless game against Minnesota—throwing for over 200 yards and three touchdowns with zero interceptions, while also rushing for key yards. His stats rival those of Dak Prescott’s legendary 2014 season. Meanwhile, Evans III, the wide receiver, landed on the Paul Hornung Award Weekly Honor Roll and received an Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Honorable Mention, hauling in over 100 yards and a touchdown while leading the SEC in receptions. Their elite play is turning heads and sending a clear message: the Bulldogs are serious contenders. With momentum building, they’ll face South Carolina next on SEC Network at 3:15 PM CT. This isn’t just one big game—it’s a statement of consistency and excellence from two stars who’re rewriting the script in Starkville.
