The Fresno State Bulldogs’ loss to UNLV can sting for a while, depending on how they fare on Saturday against BYU and more so in their final three Mountain West games.
Losing at home to UNLV, a team that was 2-5 and 1-3 in conference play and not moving forward very fast, will do that. The Bulldogs were, surprisingly but surely, a 21-point favorite. And lost, making timely errors down the stretch. But they did come away with things to take away and take forward, including the play of the defense when backed up in the red zone, one of many areas the Bulldogs have improved this season from last.
