Missed FG's, opportunities prove costly in Bulldog loss

It was right there for the taking, the Bulldog had every opportunity to put the game away and they couldn't take advantage of the opportunities.

Four times in the ballgame, the Bulldogs had a chance to put points on the board and put the Badgers away for good, but out of those four opportunities, the Bulldogs scored a total of three points. They missed three costly FG's including one within 35 yards, a chip shot normally, was pushed right by kicker Kevin Goessling.

Give the Fresno State defense credit, they did their job against a good Wisconsin football team, holding them to just three points in the second half as well as blocking 2 kicks and stuffing Wisconsin on a 4th and goal from the Bulldog 1 yard line. Their biggest mistake gave the Badgers the winning FG and their only points of the 2nd half. Wisconsin would punt the ball back to Fresno State, and as cornerback A.J. Jefferson waved off his teammates away from the ball, it hit him in the back of the leg allowing Wisconsin to recover it at the Fresno State 23 yard line, which led to the FG that put the Badgers up 13-10.

With the loss, Fresno State will stay in the national rankings at #25 as they get ready for the Toledo Rockets this coming Saturday night at Glass Bowl Stadium in Toledo. Kickoff will be at 5:15pm.
