Nicki Fitz took a step forward today

[BoDawg.sixpack]

He managed the game and there was more camaraderie today with his teammates. He still has a lot to work on but his offensive line isn't doing him any favors. Great job of staying positive and leading the team in a tough battle.

Hevesy still being employed is a travesty.

He did. The offense really did a lot better in the second half. May have been UMass, but I will take scoring and moving the ball like that to maybe kick them in gear.

Now our defense is another story.

 

[EngDawg]

I gave him a lot of grief, but he did play better in the 2nd half

 

[BulldogBlitz]

He took a step forward...and a step back..and forward....and then he was cha cha-ing.

 

[o_LandDawg]

Fitz missed some of the easiest throws I've ever seen....thank godness it was UMass

He played pretty bad in the first half before the TD drive. I thought in the 2nd half - he looked a lot better.

When your stat line is 25-38 300 yds 3 Touchdowns and 15 rushes for 110 yards. That's pretty good.

 

[CagerMania]

Someone got to him because he was going out of his way to be a "team player". Notice how many time he was quick to help his RBs up after a tackle.

It wasn't mullen who got to him, though. He 'quit' 2 weeks ago. ***

I thought he looked like the QB we were all expecting him to be in the second half. I think a lot of the credit goes to Gray and Ross as well.

I actually thought all our RBs looked better today, especially in the second half. Probably because our run blocking was much, much better in the second half.

Offense had the improvement I have been waiting to see. Our bye week could not come at a better time.

That no huddle drive to end the 2H got him into rhythm some. Carried over into the 3 and 4Q.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

When the receivers caught the ball he looked good.

Myles has to ride the bench for a while, Ross dropped a couple too.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

He played good for a few drives. He's not a very good passer right now. That was 17ing UMass and he really struggled with them for most of the game. He stares guys down and has no touch. Auburn is going to butt17 us if we play like that

 

[Sutterkane]

Fitz's progressions are fine. He's not throwing multiple picks per game, which is refreshing for a sophomore. We had some SERIOUS growing pains with Dak as a sophomore while Russell was hurt. I completely agree about the touch part though, and he does not throw an easily catchable ball. Very wobbly most of the time.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

I agree with ruckus tho, he def stares down the receivers. That will bite him in the butt against good defenses.

 

[patdog]

Looked like he finally settled in, got comfortable & started playing without overthinking things on that last drive of the 1st half & the 2nd half. He looked good.

 

[anon1787432961]

Throws were high, low, off, and then he made a few good ones. It's painful watching him learn.

 

[coach66]

He is gonna be ok but he is inconsistent for sure, needs to buil confidence and

Needs a running game.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Every game so far he has come out of the gate playing a little tight. Once he settles down, he's fine. He was throwing rockets out there at first on touch passes.
