If you wondered how committed Fresno State coach Jeff Tedford was to his quarterback Chason Virgil, go ahead and stop for now.
The Bulldogs’ sophomore got the start against No. 1 Alabama, and did not get punitively pulled when the game got out of hand in a 41-10 loss to the Crimson Tide on Saturday.
The Tim DeRuyter-era holdover wasn’t benched when he missed big on no less than three third-down throws, and he didn’t get pulled in the second quarter when he was shaken up on a sack/fumble before halftime.
Put another way, if Oregon State transfer Marcus McMaryion is going to win the job, it will have to wait for another day.
