One of college football's breakout stars is out for the season and will miss Saturday's clash in Austin to take on the Texas Longhorns. Mississippi State quarterback Kamario Taylor will miss the rest of the season after it was announced he'd need surgery on his injured toe.
Taylor injured his toe on Sept. 26 against Missouri. He has tried to play in two games since, against Alabama on Oct. 3 and Oklahoma this past Saturday. In both efforts, the Macon, MS product didn't look anywhere close to 100% and left both games early. In fact, it looked like he made it worse against the Sooners.
The true sophomore entered the national spotlight after leading Hail State to a 4-0 record. The Bulldogs have struggled to win any games over the past few seasons. Taylor was under center for wins against Minnesota and South Carolina on the road and No. 19 Missouri at home.
Taylor's season ends with 17 passing touchdowns, 1,460 passing yards and a 65% completion percentage. At 6-foot-4 and 230 pounds, he is physically a lot like Vince Young and is already one of the country's most dominant and dangerous players.
