Four yards. That’s it. The Fresno State Bulldogs, in dire need of a victory in a football season that is fast slipping away, were right there Saturday at Nevada. They got to the red zone on a 23-yard pass from Chason Virgil to Delvon Hardaway, trailing by five points but with 1:44 to work with.
A 10-yard run by Dontel James got them to the Nevada 4 and a first-and-goal. There were 55 seconds remaining. The Bulldogs had one timeout. Fresno State also had run the ball at that point for 255 yards, averaging 5.3 yards per play.
