On the heels of another brilliant game against Kentucky, Mississippi State quarterback Dak Prescott suffered a foot injury. The signal-caller was wearing a boot on his right foot following the matchup.

The injury wasn't a serious one, as Prescott told Michael Bonner of The Clarion-Ledger: "Oh yeah, this is just precautionary," Prescott said. "It's just, I got a boot on it."

There was no more elaboration from Prescott, who clearly isn't worried about the boot. After all, he finished with 216 passing yards, 88 rushing yards and three total touchdowns against the Wildcats.

On the season, Prescott has compiled 1,478 passing yards, 664 rushing yards, 24 total touchdowns and four interceptions. His effort this year has made several believe he's a favorite for the Heisman Trophy, including Gil Brandt of NFL.com:

Prescott's value to the team is obvious, so his loss would be a huge one for Mississippi State. Sitting at No. 1 coming into the weekend, the Bulldogs play Arkansas next weekend and Alabama on Nov. 15.

In order to remain as the top team in the country, having Prescott under center will be of the utmost importance. Luckily, the injury doesn't appear serious, but nothing can be taken lightly when it comes to the leader of an undefeated team.
