Bulldogs finally get in the win column

In a game that was both closer and not as close as the final score indicated, Fresno State used 2 4th quarter touchdowns by Josh Hokit to beat Sacramento State 34-20 Saturday night. There was 3 missed field goals and a missed PAT by the Dogs, but the defense surrendered only 12 rushing yards, and found ways to get the offense moving when needed to get the win. Nothing against Sacramento State, they will be a very strong FCS program this year, as evidenced by them pushing around Arizona State in Week 1. This game was probably much closer than the Bulldog faithful were expecting, but any sort of win counts after the first two weeks of extremely close calls against Power 5 teams.
