Texas A&M: Mississippi State wins 28-13

It was the redemption game for Mississippi State football quarterback Nick Fitzgerald. After his four interceptions against LSU and people calling for backup Keytaon Thompson, Nick Fitzgerald needed a big game, and he delivered.

The Bulldogs were not able to establish the running game as much as they wanted against the Aggies, so the game rested on Nick Fitzgerald’s arm. Fitzgerald would respond with an amazing overall performance.

Fitzgerald threw for 241 yards and two touchdowns while running for 116 yards and two more touchdowns. His 76 yard run in the final minutes of the game would be the final nail in the coffin.
