Three large white boards, maybe 4 feet by 6 feet, cover one wall of the staff room on the second floor of the Duncan Building, home to Fresno State football. One, a depth chart. Two, offensive personnel. Three, defensive personnel.
On two of the boards, every player in the program is represented, has a magnetic placard that is color-coded by class and has a small photo with uniform number, height and weight, high school or junior college, all arranged neatly by position group and lined up in a row.
But no matter how orderly it might appear, there is one spot that just has never been quite right, even when the name at the top was Derek Carr, a two-time All-American who set 27 school records and should have been a draw for aspiring quarterbacks.
