Fresno State opened the Jeff Tedford era with a resounding victory Saturday night.
The Bulldogs, after a 1-11 season a year ago, beat Incarnate Word 66-0 and gave their fans more to cheer about than just a halftime ceremony in which former quarterback Derek Carr had his No. 4 retired.
Fresno State churned out more than 600 yards of offense against the overmatched Cardinals, a championship subdivision opponent picked to finish last in the Southland Conference.
The 66 points were the most the Bulldogs have scored since a 69-28 victory over New Mexico in 2013 when Carr threw seven touchdown passes.
