The pass game has been stunted all season, set back by operator error. Nine games in, the Fresno State Bulldogs have had four quarterbacks start a game due to injury and ineffectiveness and they have completed only 50.5 percent of their throws, which is well short of the 60 to 62 percent one might expect in a spread offense and short even of the 56.4 percent they hit on a year ago.
Only twice have the Bulldogs passed for 200 or more yards, only three times have they hit better than 50 percent of their throws, only three times have they not turned over the ball with an interception.
