Conventional wisdom has told Mississippi State football fans that Nick Fitzgerald has the lead to win the starting job at quarterback this fall. Elijah Staley has the talent to compete, but he hasn’t shown he can capitalize it so far in the limited action we saw him in during the spring.
But it would be a mistake to forget about redshirt freshman Nick Tiano. If things play out correctly, Tiano could find himself getting the job and not one of the sophomores.
Ever since Nick Fitzgerald and Elijah Staley came to Starkville, they have both been eying this season as their chance to put their stamp on the Mississippi State football team.
