Fresno State lost a lot of star power from its 12-2 football team that won the Mountain West Conference championship and the Las Vegas Bowl.
Quarterback Marcus McMaryion, linebacker Jeff Allison, wideout KeeSean Johnson, all have moved on. Safety Mike Bell, like Allison, opted to forgo his senior season to enter the NFL Draft. The Bulldogs have to replace four offensive line starters, three tight ends and a majority of their production from the receivers group.
Cornerback Tank Kelly, who returned two of his four interceptions for touchdowns last season including a 70-yard score in the Las Vegas Bowl victory over Arizona State, also must be replaced.
