Swag in short supply, Fresno State needs a confidence boost in home opener

Usain Bolt and Josh Norman have it. Denzel Washington has it. Napoleon had it.

The Bulldogs are decidedly lacking.

That’s what Saturday night is for.

Whether you call it confidence and assurance, bravado and boldness or simply swag, the Fresno State football team has a deep thirst that requires quenching. More so than a “W” to even their record, the Bulldogs are more in need of a psychological pick-me-up.

Instead of getting pummeled, as we’ve seen all too often the past couple autumns, they need to be the ones doing the pummeling. They need to pound the other team into submission, break their will and hear them cry uncle.
