Anybody know why Prescott was excluded from the individual records section of the 2015 SEC Media Guide? Link to links:

http://www.secsports.com/article/13245341/2015-sec-football-media-guide

Without much work, I've got the following:

1) Yards Gained, Season - Prescott had 4,435 total yards (not including receiving) in 2014, which should have placed him 3rd on that list.
2) TD Responsibility, Season - Prescott had 42 total touchdowns (27 passing, 14 rushing, 1 receiving) in 2014, which should have placed him in a tie for 6th on that list.
3) TD Responsibility, Career - Coming into the 2015 season, Prescott was responsible for 75 career TDs, which should have placed him 18th on that list.
4) Rushing Yards by QB, Season - Prescott had 986 in 2014, which should have placed him 5th on that list. (His 2013 season is included, and he is included on the career list for this category).

Yes, I'm outraged.

Outraged, I tell ya.

Did you really bump this?

The SEC media guide is mostly put together by interns, fact-checked by other interns, proofread by still more interns, sent to each school for approval where it is again looked at by interns, then finalized and distributed.

I proofread the 2014 version while interning for Ole Miss media relations, basically the history sections are largely untouched unless someone remembers that a player broke a record and they change it. I remember catching that Manziel broke Archie's record for yards in a game hadn't been added, and I likely wouldn't have even noticed if it hadn't been an Ole Miss player's record that he broke.

This might be on our SID.

At the end of every season, the SEC sends us the record book and asks each school to update it accordingly with any records their players may have set. We sent them everything (and there was a lot) that needed to be updated in that guide in terms of Dak's numbers. It did not appear in the media guide. The person responsible for excluding this information no longer works in the conference office.

Was that person an OM grad?

Thanks. Glad to know we were on it.

Was he/she fired because of the omission?
