SAN DIEGO
Fresno State coach Tim DeRuyter made two points following the Bulldogs’ 21-7 loss at San Diego State on Saturday night, which left them 1-4 overall and 0-2 in conference play for the first time since 2006. One, he leaned into, hard and right from the start. The other, much less so, tossing it out as more of an addendum in a long answer to a short question about his team’s confidence level.
But both play, at this point.
It was a team loss, first of all.
“It’s on coaches. It’s on players.
