Tulsa vs. Fresno State recap: Bulldogs build 31-point lead; lose game, anyway

I had to think about how I wanted to begin this recap.

Some didn’t take to my (pardon the pun) incendiary take on last week’s disaster in Toledo but, having watched this game live from beginning to end, taking the same tone just wouldn’t work, anyway. The Fresno State Bulldogs didn’t just blow a 31-point lead on Saturday afternoon. The ‘Dogs didn’t just lose a football game to the Tulsa Golden Hurricane, 48-41 in double overtime.

They probably lost the community’s backing for good in 2016, ending any real interest in the Tim DeRuyter era.
