Fresno State football: Bulldogs trying to establish physical play, mentality

There were moments Saturday during the first open scrimmage of Fresno State football spring workouts when the Bulldogs snarled. And that’s a welcome sight after Fresno State regularly looked and played soft on both sides of the ball last season.

Cornerback DeShawn Potts crushed a receiver in the backfield on a fly sweep.

Safety Dalen Jones leveled a different receiver who was reaching back for a quick pass.

Outside linebacker James Bailey would’ve annihilated Chason Virgil from his blindside if quarterbacks were allowed to be hit.

There’s always a fine line. It’s a mentality you set in practice (being more physical).
