WAC Conference - Fresno State Bulldogs Preview
After looking ready for their first WAC Championship through their first nine games, Head Coach Pat Hill's Bulldogs suffered a tough loss at USC, sparking a slide that didn't stop until losing their last game of the season. Fresno has 14 starters returning, but still some big losses this season. As a result, a very green QB will now lead the offense. He'll at least have some help as the O has a lot of depth, skill, and experience. The RB group will be bolstered by the return of Dwayne Wright, a 1300-yard rusher in '04 who was slowed by a leg injury last season. The WRs should have the time they need to find holes as one of the country's top O-Lines returning.

The Bulldogs will probably rely on their running game until the new QB gets comfortable with the offense. Defensively, the Bulldogs lose a stellar pair in the secondary and their disruptor upfront but return eight starters overall and boast one of the better front lines in the WAC. Special teams should be strong with all players returning.
The Bulldogs should rebound under HC Hill. He hates losing and is one of the best motivators in football. His team's experienced and hasn't won less than eight games since '01. But to win his first WAC Championship, Hill must win in Boise, a place that's always been unkind to him and the Bulldogs.
