The dust has settled, the competition is over and Tommy Stevens is Mississippi State’s new starting quarterback.
MSU head coach Joe Moorhead met with the media on Thursday afternoon and announced, after three weeks of training camp, the graduate transfer Stevens has won the job as starting signal caller over junior Bulldog Keytaon Thompson.
“It was a great, great competition,” Moorhead said. “Both guys are similarly sized and provide equal threats in the run game. We said the decision making would come down to who can create explosive plays and who can minimize turnovers and who can throw the ball with the best accuracy in a consistent manner.
