Fresno State coach Tim DeRuyter hopes Friday’s win over UNLV can be a launching point for his football team.
He’ll find out Saturday, when the Bulldogs face an Air Force team that has won its past nine games at Falcon Stadium. Fresno State (2-5, 1-3 Mountain West) and the Falcons (3-3, 2-1) meet at 11 a.m. in Colorado Springs, Colo.
“We realize we’ve got a bigger task at hand on the road, going to play a terrific Air Force Academy team that hasn’t lost at home,” DeRuyter said Monday. “They play really well there. They play terrific defense and are one of the top rushing teams in the country.
