  "account": "Mississippi State's athletic director Zac Selmon has signaled strongly that sophomore quarterback Kamario Taylor will remain the team's starting QB for the foreseeable future. The Bulldogs have gone undefeated this season at 3-0, thanks in large part to Taylor's stellar performance through three games. He has completed 68.3% of his passes for 832 yards and 11 touchdowns, with one interception, and has added 178 rushing yards and a rushing score. Taylor, a Macon, Mississippi native, was a highly-recruited prospect who chose Mississippi State over several other top programs. His decision to stay has clearly paid off for the Bulldogs and Taylor himself. However, the real challenge lies ahead as they prepare to face some of the toughest SEC opponents on the schedule this season.",
  "summary": "Kamario Taylor has Mississippi State ranked and undefeated, with the team already fielding questions about his long-term future.",
