THIBODAUX -- In last season's Egg Bowl, Mississippi State got a dominant 55-20 road victory over rival Ole Miss.
State quarterback Nick Fitzgerald joked on Friday that he was unsure if he would receive an invitation to the Manning Passing Academy due to the Egg Bowl results. Both Archie and Eli Manning played football for the Rebels.
"I honestly didn't even know if I would catch the invite after the Egg Bowl. I definitely didn't know how nice or how hostile it would be," he said Friday at a press conference at Nicholls State University for the Manning camp.
