Fresno State vs San Jose State Game Preview


Why Fresno State Will Win

The Bulldogs can take the West division with a win here and a San Diego State loss to Boise State on Friday morning.

Fresno State’s defense is among the best in the nation in takeaways.

What’s Going To Happen

What happened to the San Jose State offense?

Fresno State will be more balanced and sharper.
