Fresno State opens spring practice Monday, the first of 15 sesssions spread out over five weeks. There will be seven practices before the Bulldogs take a week off for spring break and eight after they return.
While first-year coach Jeff Tedford, and a new staff that includes offensive coordinator Kalen DeBour and defensive coordinator Orlondo Steinauer, have plenty to evaluate and install the focus really is on getting one thing right.
Much of the attention will be on fortifying a foundation that has steadily deteriorated since 2013 when the Bulldogs won the second of back-to-back Mountain West Conference championships led by Derek Carr, Davante Adams, Isaiah Burse, Derron Smith, Tyeler Davison, Austin Wentworth and Marcel Jensen.
