In the first game following Tim DeRuyter’s firing as head coach, the Fresno State Bulldogs fought hard and put together what was arguably their most competitive game of the season, but still came up short against the Air Force Falcons, 31-21.
Interim head coach Eric Kiesau coached his first-ever game as a head coach and was proud of how the team played despite the loss on Friday at Bulldog Stadium. Fresno State is now 1-8.
“I’ll give a lot of credit to our players,” Kiesau said. “I thought they played extremely hard. I’m really proud of their effort and how they played tonight.
