The defense beat the offense and at times the offense beat itself with a couple of turnovers. There was some operator error in there, too, with bad snaps, procedural penalties, dropped passes and, in general, a lack of pop, which is something that bears watching.
But the final scrimmage of the spring aside, Fresno State emerged from its 15 practices in better shape than the Bulldogs went into them.
They emerged healthy Saturday afternoon, incurring no major injuries, which is a fortuitous switch.
Position groups developed through more credible competition, with some veterans (quarterback Chason Virgil, cornerback Tank Kelly and running back Saevion Johnson) and some newer faces (guard Netane Muti and linebacker Tainoa Foster) moving forward.
