Fresno State, like most college football teams, puts a focus on specific practice days. A theme carries the day. There is Competition Tuesday. There is Turnover Wednesday, which of course works both ways, the offense trying to protect the football and the defense trying to pry it from their grasp. There’s No Repeat Thursday, which after two practices in any particular week with the game plan and seeing the opponent’s looks the goal is to get it and everything else right the first time. That is followed by Focus Friday, more of a mental sharpening.
And when the Bulldogs try to avoid a 0-2 start in the Mountain West against Nevada at Mackay Stadium, it has to be Fundamental Saturday and it has to mean something.
