Two seasons ago, Fresno State football was in shambles.
Finishing the 2016 season at 1-11, Bulldogs head coach Tim DeRuyter was fired eight games in what became the darkest season in Fresno State history.
The Bulldogs had finished in the bottom three of the West Division in the Mountain West Conference in DeRuyter’s last year and a half with the program.
Hiring Jeff Tedford flipped that narrative immediately.
Since nearly going winless two seasons ago, Fresno State’s record is 21-6. Under Tedford, the Bulldogs AP ranking has shot all the way up to No.
