The lead up

SDS News: Nick Fitzgerald shares what it was like missing Mississippi State opener

Mississippi State has already hit the field this season, coming away with a dominating 63-6 win over Stephen F. Austin last weekend in front of the friendly confines of Starkville’s Davis Wade Stadium, but the team did so without the services of starting quarterback Nick Fitzgerald.

The Hail State captain admitted, in some sense, this game feels like an opening weekend to him.

“Yeah, in a way, it does feel like Week 1 for me. In another way, I know it’s Week 2. We had a great win last week, and I just want to build off of that,” Fitzgerald said during his latest media availability.

As noted, Mississippi State’s defense was in midseason form Week 1 against Stephen F. Austin. There’s probably a good explanation for that, Bob Shoop’s defense faced Fitzgerald all week in practice. While he was out, Joe Moorhead put Fitzgerald on the scout team all week.

“It was rough. I take full responsibility for the reason why I was out,” Fitzgerald said. “I embraced my role as scout team quarterback and when I was in, just trying to give the defense the best look I possibly could. Make sure that hopefully I was doing it better than their quarterback was so they had a harder look in practice than they did in the game. Just kind of embraced that leadership role.”
