Dak Prescott is Still the Best QB in the SEC

Going into this year, a big question about Dak Prescott revolved around whether he was good enough to carry a team on his own or if he needed the help around him he had last year.

The departure of Josh Robinson with his NFL aspirations along with three offensive linemen and two wide receivers in Dan Mullen’s spread offense made things seem like Prescott would have a tough time.

Add to it that he had a pretty rough offseason if you saw what happened to him over spring break, and there were legitimate questions about his durability along with his pure skill set.

Those should have been answered Saturday.

Prescott completed 20 of 29 passes for 231 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions. He also had five carries for 25 yards. This amount of efficiency, even in a spring game, was something to be excited about.

And it gives credence to the idea that perhaps Prescott does have the same type of college talent Tim Tebow had.

The only problem is that outside of the two interceptions, Nick Fitzgerald wasn’t much worse, going 20 of 30 for 255 yards and two touchdowns in addition to 35 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown. The success of Prescott and Fitzgerald leads to our next point.
