Bulldog Bytes: 2020 Non-Season Season Preview
Photo by Jeffrey Brown/Icon Sportswire via Getty ImagesEven with everything currently going on in the world, it’s almost football season, so we’re going to take a look at what things look like for the Fresno State Bulldogs as they enter a new decade with a new coach. After the massively disappointing 2019 campaign, punctuated by Jeff Tedford’s shock retirement, a familiar face comes back to Fresno to take over the program and hopefully get them back to their winning ways. After serving as the offensive coordinator for the first two years of the Tedford era, Kalen Deboer was hired away by Indiana University for 2019. He revamped and improved their offense before the Bulldogs came calling with a promotion to head coach. This is Deboer’s second head coaching stint in college, after a wildly successful 67-3 run at NAIA school Sioux Falls. After being at the helm of a great Fresno State offense that won 22 games in 2 seasons, now we get to see what he looks like in the big chair.
