across both bulldog coming country fans game great hard heck huge meaningful national opportunity playing state three university
This is not only a huge game for Fresno State but also for the University of Toledo, especially coming across the country and playing on national television. They are a lot like us really. They play very hard and are well-coached in all three phases. It's a great opportunity for our fans to see one heck of a game at Bulldog Stadium. This is a very meaningful game for both teams.

He had a heck of a year. The scouts notice him.
care game record simple
We just have to keep winning. It's a simple goal, but it's not so simple to do. I don't care what the other team's record is, it's always a big game for us and that's how we have to prepare.

I really don't have any answers right now. I don't understand five turnovers. I don't understand the personal fouls we had in that game. I really don't have the answers to those things.

I know it would make the game the next week bigger.

I'm not worried about that. I'm really not. Our team will be ready to play. They know what's at stake.
