Same players. New coach. New staff.
Coming off a 1-11 season, that is an intriguing mix and it showed during spring football workouts for Fresno State. There were good gains, starting with quarterback Chason Virgil.

The redshirt sophomore completed almost 80 percent of his passes in the second scrimmage and would have been at 65 percent in the third if not for four drops.
