STARKVILLE, Miss. -- Mississippi State's Nick Fitzgerald was hit a few yards shy of the end zone as one, two and then three Texas A&M defenders tried to pull him to the ground.
But the 6-foot-5, 230-pounder kept stumbling and straining, dragging the Aggies along with him as he finally fell into the end zone for a crucial touchdown late in the fourth quarter.
The sophomore quarterback -- and these Bulldogs -- weren't going to be denied in a 35-28 upset win over No. 7 Texas A&M on Saturday.
"After how hard my team worked for me all day," Fitzgerald said.
