Despite some struggles, Tedford sticks with Virgil
If you wondered how committed Fresno State coach Jeff Tedford was to his quarterback Chason Virgil, go ahead and stop for now.
The Bulldogs’ sophomore got the start against No. 1 Alabama, and did not get punitively pulled when the game got out of hand in a 41-10 loss to the Crimson Tide on Saturday.
The Tim DeRuyter-era holdover wasn’t benched when he missed big on no less than three third-down throws, and he didn’t get pulled in the second quarter when he was shaken up on a sack/fumble before halftime.
