Dak Prescott is known as a running QB but he’s a very good passer with a lot of starts in Dan Mullens system. Saturday he is facing an LSU Secondary that lost a top Corner to the NFL Draft and starting Safety Jalen Mills to an ankle injury.

Prescott had a good but not great game throwing against Southern Miss last week. With LSU breaking in new DB’s he needs to shine this week.
That is easier said than done though. They call LSU DBU for a reason and the secondary, led by vets Jamal Adams and Ricky Jefferson inside and Corners Tre White, Dwayne Thomas and true freshman starter Kevin Tolliver II are extremely talented.
Dak Prescott put up good numbers against Southern Miss but threw up some shaky passes. The DBU crew will be expecting some opportunities to come their way, and will likely take some chances trying to jump routes and create big plays.
A pick at the right time against Prescott could give LSU the edge it needs to win Saturday.
