Bulldogs overcome poor 1st half to beat Rutgers 24-7

West Coast to East Coast? No problem for Pat Hill and the Fresno State Bulldogs as they knocked off Rutgers 24-7 on Monday afternoon.

Both teams went into half time unhappy with their play. Fresno's first 6 possessions ended in punts while Rutgers suffered through a few big dropped passes, one could have resulted in a touchdown, but give credit to both defenses for a scoreless first half.

Both teams came out ready to go in the 2nd half but it was the Bulldogs that would capitalize on their opportunites. Two long passes from Tom Brandstater would set up Ryan Mathews for 2 of his 3 touchdowns on the ground for the Bulldogs.

It's a big win for Fresno State as they return home to get prepared for nationally ranked Wisconsin at Bulldog Stadium on Saturday September 13th. Fresno State will have a lot of time to prepare for this game and they'll need all the time they can get, but make no mistake, this Bulldog team will be ready and Bulldog Stadium WILL BE ROCKING!

GO DOGS!
