Pat Fitzgerald gives brilliant answer when asked about starting QB for Week 0
Published:
Pat Fitzgerald is also not planing on revealing who his starting QB is going to be. It looks like he’ll be following in Bret Bielema’s footsteps.
Scott Frost has already announced that Casey Thompson will be starting at QB for Nebraska this season, but Fitzgerald is keeping his starter a secret. Ben Chasen, a student of the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern, asked Fitzgerald what his plans are for the QB position. His response was golden per Matthew Shelton of Wildcat Report.
“I’ve been thinking about this all night and I’m not going to tell you anything,” said Fitzgerald.
Shoutout @BenChasenINU for his bravery in asking Fitz about the qbs.

The job will most likely be between the more experienced Ryan Hilinski and Brendan Sullivan. Hilinski got the majority of playing time last season compared to the other QBs on the roster, appearing in 9 games. Sullivan has been lighting it up at camp though, and could also make a case for the job.
Northwestern fans will have to wait until Aug. 27, when the Wildcats take on the Cornhuskers at 12:30 p.m. ET on FOX.
