Great article. Crazy to think what he can do when they put all 4 quarters together.

Sorry for the bump but this is all Rogers did this game; in his 8th start:

"...

• Completed 39 of his 47 passes (83 percent) for 370 yards and three touchdowns
• Set a new MSU single-game completion percentage record (in games with 25 or more attempts)
• Recorded his third career 300-plus-yard passing game, a total that already stands tied for third in State history
• Tied the Mississippi State single-game record with 12 consecutive completions..."

I remember the days when I'd have killed for an MSU QB to throw for 250 yards, much less over 350.

But again, this is the Air Raid. The big story is the yards left on the field (total yards, but generally in the Air Raid they will be passing). We missed a lot of wide open WRs over the middle of the field. During the Shorts Era we put up well over 550 on Memphis in the openers back in 2010/2011. Here's to hoping that La Tech is a pretty good team. And some of that is Rogers being a 2nd year player, I mean Dak was still missing those guys well into his 3rd year (2013 at Auburn is the big one I remember, Tubby is still running wide open).
