Kansas State football coach Bill Snyder has seen enough of Mississippi State quarterback Nick Fitzgerald to compare him to former K-State great Collin Klein, and yet he doesn’t fully know what to expect from him when the Bulldogs come to town on Saturday.
How can that be?
Blame a coaching change from Dan Mullen to Joe Moorhead, followed by a one-game suspension that prevented Fitzgerald from playing for Mississippi State in the Bulldogs’ opening rout of Stephen F. Austin.
Backup quarterback Keytaon Thompson, not Fitzgerald, stole the show last week and tied an SEC record with seven touchdowns (five passes, two runs).
