Treyson Bourguet QB vs. Will Rogers QB
Treyson Bourguet of Western Michigan has shown both promise and rawness this season. Completing 51 out of 93 attempts with 676 passing yards through 51 completions shows his talent at finding his targets, but what truly distinguishes his playmaking capabilities is his passer rating of 127.9 which highlights his capability of making plays when they matter most. Yet there remain areas for refinement within Bourguet; 6 sacks leading to loss of 39 yards demonstrate that pocket awareness and ability to read defensive blitzes will become essential when facing Mississippi State defense this September.
Will Rogers is an integral piece of Mississippi State’s offensive engine. Boasting an impressive completion rate of 59.7% from 89 completions out of 149 attempts and 1086 passing yards total, Rogers boasts an impressive average 7.3 yards per attempt average and 131.1 passer rating that surpasses that of Bourguet; despite that however, concerns arise with 14 sacks costing his team 82 yards over his tenure; against Western Michigan’s aggressive defensive front, Rogers will face further testing of agility and decision-making under pressure than ever before!
