Nick Fitzgerald could break a record today during the St. Petersburg Bowl. He could end up breaking the SEC record for rushing yards by a quarterback if he can put together another monster game like he did against. The quarterback who holds that record currently is one of the most reviled in Mississippi State history, Cam Newton.
Remember, Cam Newton needed 14 games to reach 1,473 yards. Nick Fitzgerald has accumulated 12,243 in basically 11 games because he only played sparingly against South Alabama. If he had played the entire game, it isn’t unreasonable to think he would be a lot closer to breaking tat record if he had.
