Fresno State put a spotlight on its junior tight end, Jared Rice, two weeks ago at Nevada and again last week against Wyoming. Rice caught three passes on four targets for a career-high 98 yards in a 21-3 victory over the Wolf Pack, then seven passes on nine targets for 94 yards and one touchdown in a 27-3 victory over the Cowboys.
In both games, he led the Bulldogs in receiving yards.
Will quarterback Marcus McMaryion continue to look to Rice and the tight ends on Saturday when the Bulldogs play at New Mexico?
