The murmurs were, in fact, true: The Kilton Anderson era at Fresno State has begun.
For this week, at least.
Anderson became the Bulldogs fourth starting quarterback in six games, but the much-rumored switch couldn’t prevent Utah State from rolling to a 29-7 halftime lead Saturday night before a subdued homecoming crowd at Bulldog Stadium.
The insertion of Anderson failed to awaken Fresno State’s hibernating offense as the Bulldogs managed just 71 yards of total offense on 35 plays.
Anderson finished the first half 7 of 11 for 52 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
