Saturday evening is going to be an excellent test for the Gophers’ football team.
A talented Fresno State team poses a few interesting challenges on both sides of the ball. The Bulldogs won ten games last season, despite winning just one in 2016. They completed the largest turnaround in the FBS last season. The leadership of head coach Jeff Tedford and the addition of quarterback Marcus McMaryion fueled the team’s improvement. This year, they return an experienced secondary, but will likely feel the effects of losing Robert Stanley and Malik Forrester on the defensive line.
Fresno State is a well-coached team with quality offensive weapons and a solid quarterback.
