4 in hunt for Mississippi State quarterback job

It’s never an easy chore to be “the guy who follows the guy,” but that’s what four quarterbacks set out to do starting this week. Nick Fitzgerald, Elijah Staley, Damien Williams and Nick Tiano are vying for the starting quarterback spot and the competition likely will go all the way to the week of the first game September 3 against South Alabama.

Here’s a look at the four quarterbacks in the job hunt, listed alphabetically.
