As the Bulldogs geared up to start Mountain West Conference play, there was the same question on everybody’s mind: who would be behind center for the ‘Dogs?
With the team losing Chason Virgil the week prior to a season-ending injury and Zack Greenlee having a run-in with police, it was down to third-stringer Ford Childress. The West Virginia transfer got the start in place of Greenlee, who was suspended for the game.
But instead the focus of the game turned out to be on Fresno State’s defense. Defensive coordinator Nick Toth’s unit surrendered a San Jose State school record 300 yards on 42 carries to Spartans running back Tyler Ervin in Saturday night’s 49-23 loss.
