The #25 Fresno State Bulldogs traveled to Toledo, OH to get ready for their game against the Rockets, which was added to ESPNU's coverage, on Saturday night.
This will mark the first time, in that Pat Hill era, that the Bulldogs will play a team from the MAC conference on the road. The previous meeting with a MAC conference team was the team they face this Saturday, an easy 44-14 win over the same Toledo Rockets back in 2005. What's eerily similar about this situation is, leading up to the 'Dogs 2005 matchup against the Rockets, the 'Dogs were coming off a 3-point loss at Oregon (37-34) and the Houston area had just been hit by Hurricane Rita. That's about as ironic as you can get don't ya think?
The biggest fear in Bulldogs fans leading up to this game is the fear of a letdown coming off a tough 3-point loss at home against Wisconsin, a game that was very winnable. I, for one, think this team is going to be just fine. This team is better defensively than I've seen in a very long time and against Toledo they should shut them down and let the offense run up the score. I don't think this team has a problem knocking over Toledo before they come back west for the very much anticipated showdown against UCLA at the Rose Bowl.
