Let’s get the obvious thing out of the way first; the final score really does not show how dominating this win was for Fresno State. The Bulldogs were up 49-13 until about 5 minutes left in the game, when Toledo added two garbage time TDs to make it look somewhat close. Also kept the Dogs from doubling up Toledo’s yardage, and from getting more votes in the polls.
After coming off the bye week and the UCLA win, expectations were high for Fresno State returning home, and the fans luckily came out to support the team. An announced audience of around 33,000 filled Bulldog Stadium on a beautiful night for college football, and looked good for the cameras on ESPNU.
