Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen is talking quarterbacks: his new one, his old one and the mystery quarterback waiting on the opposite site of the field when the Bulldogs face LSU on Saturday.
Quarterback play dominated the discussion for Mullen at his weekly news conference Monday before the Bulldogs’ Saturday visit to Tiger Stadium.
After Nick Fitzgerald rushed for 195 yards and set a school single-game rushing record for quarterbacks in last week’s victory over South Carolina, he’s already drawing comparisons to predecessor Dak Prescott. Mullen’s verdict: Fitzgerald has the edge on speed, while Prescott – who made his NFL debut as the Dallas Cowboys’ starter on Sunday against the New York Giants – has more power.
