After last week’s blowout victory against UT-Martin, the Rebels will have a step up in competition this Saturday when they face the Fresno State Bulldogs at home. Head coach Hugh Freeze saw a lot of strong-points in Fresno State.
“They spread you from sideline to sideline. They have really good tempo and they have really good skill people. If they make you miss in space, that five-yard route just became a 30-yard gain,” Freeze said. “So they present a challenge. Defensively, they create a lot of negative plays just with their movement.”
Cornerbacks coach Jason Jones was also impressed with the Bulldogs offense, but was confident that his group had put in the work to prepare.
