Fitz played it too conservatively for the FG instead of playing for the TD on their final drive. They weren’t going to be able to milk enough time to justify that decision. NU was always going to get the ball back if MSU didn’t get the first down.

Yeah fuck him for not putting the game in the hands of the QB that was missing wide open TDs all day.
