With four quarterbacks battling for the starting job, there was only one way to settle who would get first-team reps as Mississippi State began its first football practice on Tuesday.
“I won rock, paper, scissors,” Nick Fitzgerald said.
With that, Fitzgerald took the initial snap of 2016 and the fight to fill former quarterback Dak Prescott’s big shoes was underway.
Fitzgerald was followed, in order, by Elijah Staley, Nick Tiano and Damian Williams. Little, if anything, can be read into that. Head coach Dan Mullen stated on Monday each quarterback will get 25 percent of the reps in camp until someone pulls away.
