Fresno State opened spring football practices on Monday and with 16 offensive linemen available the Bulldogs were able to do some tinkering, trying to add some explosion to a running game that last season had only six rushing plays of 20 or more yards.
Netane Muti, a starter at left guard, was taking reps at left tackle. Christian Cronk, who started at left tackle, was at right tackle. Micah St. Andrew, the right guard, took reps at center. Freshman Marc-David Bien-Amie was with the No. 1 line at left guard and Syrus Tuitele was at right guard.
That lineup could add some pop to a line that protected the passer well and led the Mountain West and was tied for third in the nation in tackles for loss allowed with 46.
