Fresno State wrapped up its spring practices Saturday, dodging trouble when starting left guard Aaron Mitchell went down with what appeared to be a knee injury on the first play from scrimmage only to return, as the Bulldogs finished five weeks of work relatively healthy.
The on-field effort went well through the spring, including the last of three scrimmages. Coach Tim DeRuyter had his defense keep the blitzes under wraps Saturday morning, allowing the quarterbacks and the rest of the offense more chances to make plays.
Chason Virgil, taking reps with the No. 1 offense, hit on 13 of 22 passes for 112 yards with one touchdown and one interception, a nice play by inside linebacker George Helmuth dropping into coverage.
