Mississippi State Bulldogs: What to make of the Spring Game

The Mississippi State Bulldogs went 6-7 in 2016, and 3-5 in the SEC, which was tied for fifth in the SEC West.

The White team, which was the first team defense and second team offense, won the game 21-10. And while the play of the defense was encouraging, the play of quarterback Nick Fitzgerald was not.

Fitzgerald was second in the SEC with 1,375 rushing yards and first in the conference with 16 rushing touchdowns. So his athleticism has never been questioned. But he does have room to improve as a passer.
