Fresno State is 2-0 in the Mountain West Conference and has a chance Saturday to get to 3-0 for the first time since 2013 with New Mexico coming to Bulldog Stadium.
The Lobos represent a significant step up, though, from what the Bulldogs have faced so far in the Mountain West.
New Mexico also is in a much different spot in its sixth season under coach Bob Davie than when it last played in Fresno. That was 2013, Davie’s second season, and it wasn’t close. Fresno State, with quarterback Derek Carr playing on his Senior Day, rolled up 822 yards of offense in a 69-28 victory.
