Michigan State and Washington locked up in a Big Ten contest on Saturday evening inside of Spartan Stadium, with the two eyeing key momentum building victories. In the end of a hard fought battle between the Spartans and Huskies, it was Washington coming away with a 21-14 win, and earning bowl eligibility.
Following his team's win Washington head coach Jedd Fisch spoke to the media, where he commented on the game and what he saw from his team against the Spartans. Fisch also talked about his personal relationship with Pat Fitzgerald, and praised Fitzgerald, stating that he is the right man for the job in East Lansing.
See what Fisch had to say about his team's performance and his thoughts on the Spartans:
- "Proud of our team. There was a lot of adversity over the course of the last 24 hours and I think our team handled it exceptionally well"
- "Credit to coach Fitzgerald. I have so much respect for him. I think he's one of the best coaches in the country and one of the best coaches in our conference."
- "It's always a battle when you play one of his coached teams."
- "We knew that it was going to be a 60-minute fight. We knew it was going to be a 12 round, whatever you want to look at it as. And, that’s what it was"
- "Proud of the fact that, you know, we’ve won three straight games on the road in the Big 10 and that is not easy to do"
- "I've known Coach Fitz since 2015. We actually we were at Michigan and we he was the head coach at Northwestern and we had him come speak at our clinic."
- "He knows what it's going to take and there's ups and downs when you're building a program and there's no better guy, I think, to do it than him. He's consistent, he's disciplined, he's tough and he demands excellence from his team,"
- "And I just know that Michigan State is going to be a very tough out for years to come."
