Fresno State had some success rushing against Power Five Conference teams the past few years, generating 4.8 yards per play last season at USC and 4.3 yards per play this season against Utah.
But in a loss at San Jose State in a Mountain West opener, the Bulldogs didn’t get much done on the ground against a defense that entered the game ranked last in the conference in rushing defense. The Spartans allowed an average of 285.7 rushing yards in their first three games.
