Taylor injured his toe against Missouri on September 26 and later attempted to return against Oklahoma, completing just five pass attempts before leaving the game. Across six appearances, he recorded 1,460 passing yards, 17 touchdowns, four interceptions, and a 65.4% completion rate, along with 147 rushing yards. His breakout began with four straight wins, but Mississippi State has since lost three consecutive games.
Redshirt freshman Parker Puckett and AJ Swann are competing for the starting job ahead of Mississippi State’s October 31 road game against No. 11 Texas. Running back Fluff Bothwell, who rushed for 111 yards against Oklahoma, could take on a larger role as the Bulldogs adjust their offense.
