Well, that was certainly unexpected, wasn’t it? I doubt even the most optimistic Fresno State fan saw last year’s results coming. We were thinking 4 wins, maybe 5 if Tedford was able to turn things around quickly, considering the state the program was in when Tim DeRuyter left it. After watching the team slide from 11 wins, to 6, to 3, then only 1 in 2016, it seemed like we’d be in for a long rebuild that wouldn’t deliver until 2019 at the earliest.
Jeff Tedford is apparently a wizard though, as he turned a 1-win squad into a 10-win team over the course of his first year.
