Taylor Shines as MSU Turns Favorite | Minnesota Golden Gophers Football News

Mississippi State stunned the college football world with a 62-13 demolition of Louisiana-Monroe, led by 19-year-old phenom Kamario Taylor, who threw for over 350 yards and four touchdowns while adding another score on the ground. Now 1.5-point road favorites, they’ll face Minnesota — who crushed their FCS opponent 59-7 — in a matchup that pits two young QBs against each other. Taylor’s mobility and arm talent make him a nightmare to defend, but his tendency to get pressured last year could be Minnesota’s key. The Gophers’ pass rush, anchored by Anthony Smith, and secondary must contain Taylor’s deep threats and Mississippi State’s explosive running game. This isn’t just another game — it’s a proving ground for both teams’ futures. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
