2. Nick Fitzgerald has a huge month
What do we make of Nick Fitzgerald’s first month under Joe Moorhead? It’s been a roller-coaster, to say the least, but his accuracy has been the real concern.
As a sophomore, he completed 54 percent of his passes and as a junior, he was around 56 percent. During his senior season, he’s taken a step back, completing less than 50 percent of his throws with a career-low 6.04 yards per attempt.
With all eyes on him entering October and a potential No. 1 job hanging in the balance, Fitzgerald is going to turn things around and finish the month with at least 850 yards passing, another 300 rushing and 12 total touchdowns. His accuracy will rise back up to over 50 percent for the year and it’ll hover around his career average of 55, maybe even higher, for the month.
We are finally going to see Fitzgerald live up to the hype and shake off his inconsistent start to put himself on the map as one of the nation’s top dual-threats.
