Pat Fitzgerald criticizes NCAA following Michigan State win over Toledo

Michigan State defeated Toledo 30-20 on Friday night in the debut for head coach Pat Fitzgerald. Following the game, Fitzgerald addressed the extended eligibility process concerning receiver Rodney Bullard Jr. The NCAA did not clear Bullard until August 24, leaving his status uncertain for much of the summer. Bullard finished the game as the team's leading receiver, recording seven catches for 90 yards. His performance included a 5-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter and a two-point conversion that extended the Spartans' lead to seven points. Fitzgerald described the timing of the eligibility decision as unfair and unjust.
