The past two seasons there was a much better chance that a Mountain West Conference football player of the week had played against Fresno State than played for it.
But linebacker George Helmuth on Monday became the Bulldogs’ fourth honoree over the past seven weeks, earning defensive player of the week honors after racking up a career-high 11 tackles in a 13-7 victory at Wyoming that clinched a West Division championship and a berth in the conference championship game.

“I’m happy for George,” coach Jeff Tedford said.
