Fresno State had not completed repairs at Bulldog Stadium by 5 p.m. Friday, so when Nevada showed up for its walk-through the day before the Mountain West football opener there still was heavy machinery on the field.

The Wolf Pack shared the artificial turf with four work vehicles, including two bulldozers, one of which was parked at the 10-yard line between the hash mark and the numbers.

There were piles of sand in the south end zone, which work crews have been trying to clear, clean and repair since Sunday when a broken irrigation line sent a river of mud flowing down the ramp and onto the field.
