After his biggest win as Fresno State football coach, Jeff Tedford took a moment to deflect.
“It’s really not about me,” Tedford said after his Bulldogs bulldozed UCLA 38-14 on Saturday night before 60,867 at the Rose Bowl, sending Bruins fans home early and Fresno State’s into a state of delirium.
“It’s about our coaching staff, it’s about our players, it’s about all our support staff, our strength coach and everyone involved in our program,” he kept on. “That’s who it’s about. It has nothing to do with me.”
Tedford said these things while standing behind a lectern answering questions at his postgame press conference.
