SEC CO-OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK (Nov. 28, 2016)
2016 HIGHLIGHTS
• Led the SEC with 3,530 yards of total offense during the regular season and
finished tied for first with 14 rushing touchdowns.
• Became the first SEC QB with three 300 passing / 100 rushing yard games in a
season since Johnny Manziel in his Heisman-winning 2012 season. Fitzgerald’s
most recent came against Arkansas (11/19), tossing for 328 yards, rushing for 131
and totaling six touchdowns. Over his last six games, Fitzgerald has accounted for
25 touchdowns and 2,101 total yards.
• Set an MSU quarterback-record with 195 yards on the ground against South
Carolina (9/10). Also added 178 yards through the air with two touchdowns.
• Became the second quarterback in MSU history to pass for 300 yards and rush
for 100 in a single game at UMass (9/24).
• Against Samford (10/29), he became the second player in SEC history to record
over 530 yards of total offense and seven touchdowns (Dak Prescott, 2015). He
also became just the third player in SEC history to toss for 400 yards and rush
for 100 in a single game (Archie Manning, 1969; Johnny Manziel, 2012). His
536 total yards of offense were the second most in school history, the most by an
SEC player this season and the seventh-highest in the history of the Southeastern
Conference. His seven touchdowns accounted for tied the MSU and SEC record
for most in a single game.
• In the Bulldogs’ upset win against No. 4 Texas A&M (11/5), he became the third
SEC signal caller in the past 20 years to pass for 200+ yards and rush for 175+,
joining Heisman winners Johnny Manziel and Cam Newton. He earned SEC
Co-Offensive Player of the Week honors for his efforts.
• Broke the MSU single-game rushing record by a player at any position with 258
yards at Ole Miss (11/26). It was the highest rushing total by an FBS QB since
2014. His 18.4 yards per carry against the Rebels was the second highest total
by an SEC player in history (min 10 carries). Became just the fifth quarterback
in SEC history to rush for over 1,000 yards in a single season. Fitzgerald’s 1,243
yards thus far in 2016 are the third most by a signal caller in SEC history, just
behind Heisman Trophy winners Johnny Manziel and Cam Newton. With 148
yards, Fitzgerald can break the MSU single-season rushing record set by tailback
Anthony Dixon in 2009 (1391 yards). Fitzgerald currently has 75 fewer carries.
