Mississippi State quarterback Nick Fitzgerald did it with his arm and his legs as the Bulldogs cruised past 24th-ranked Texas A&M 35-14 in College Station. Fitzgerald threw for 141 yards and two touchdowns and added a team-high 105 rushing yards with a score in the winning effort. The Mississippi State defense had three interceptions including a 90-yard pick six from Jamal Peters. The Bulldogs improved to 6-and-2 overall and 3-and-2 in SEC play. The Aggies mustered just 285 yards of total offense as they fell to 5-and-3 and 3-and-2 in conference. Freshman signal-caller Nick Starkel replaced a banged up Kellen Mond and threw for 133 yards, a touchdown, and an interception in defeat.
