1. Forget Nick Fitzgerald, Running back Kylin Hill is the man y’all

If you haven’t heard this name, you need to get to know him. He put up more yards, 215, than the entirety of the Kansas State offense: 213. That, my friends, is insane. He showed fight, quickness, ability and speed. Scoring three times for the Bulldogs, each time seemingly more exciting than the last if you are wearing maroon and not purple.

Yes, Nick Fitzgerald is good. Yes. he seems to have bounced back well from that gruesome ankle injury on Thanksgiving night against Ole Miss. However, he was underwhelming to me. Could he take this team places? Sure. But, a lot of that will have to do with his running back Kylin Hill and his defense.We already saw that Keytaon Thompson could easily come in and replace Nick Fitzgerald if needed. There will be no replacing Kylin Hill this season.

Look for the Mississippi State Bulldogs to give the SEC a scare this year and that will be run by Kylin Hill behind the quarterback rushing up and down the field. He is a special one for sure.
