Durant who plays
in the N.B.A said this
about Terry
Rodney Terry is student athlete based and you look at all the basketball things, like can he recruit this recruit
and can he put a staff together that's important thing.
Coach Terry has been in fresno nine times last eighteen
months
the players met with coach terry before the announcement and he told them that
they need to continue being a team

the Fresno State Bulldogs pulled off a big win over Utah State
to stay
undefeated in the WAC.
the bulldog defense would shut out the Aggie's in the second half
and in return the Fresno State offense would ignite scoring 17 unanswered points.
the bulldogs would take their first lead in the
fourth quarter after a twenty three pass
to Jalen Saunders
i was just trying to
get as many yards as i can. and i saw that nothing was there so
i can't get tackled for a loss
so i made the first guy miss and the second defender i made him miss.
and it just went on from there.
on utah state next possession Chuckie Keaton gets hit by backtracking he'd get hit
by Tristan Okpalaogo who forces the ball loose which is recovered by
fresno state
I just tried to hit him as hard as i could.
hopefully it came out but if not
i hope he didn't release it before i got to him.
That would later set up a nine yard insurance run touchdown by Robbie Rouse
to go up 10
to the coaches is to trust us that much
to know that you know we could pick this up cause i guarrantee
to go for it there wan't one doubt on our sideline that we weren't going to get it. were going to that
you know that was just
that's great trust by them and is a great job up front and a great job by Robbie.
the defense kept the Aggie's from doing much more the rest of the game
Senior defensive tackle logan herald believes that this game
is a turning point for the team
this is a huge game for us this really was a
make it or break it game
to see where we're gonna go from here
and uh... i think
this just made the team
a lot more stronger it gave us a lot more momentum going in
to next week
up next for the dogs they had back on the road to take on Nevada
a team they haven't beat in the last three years
we need to get up to Reno and change
change the way we do things with them with University of Nevada that it is a very good
football team coming off two big wins
it'll be a great trip for us it'll be our eighth straight game
we just need to be 1 and 0.
when we come home from Nevada next week.
The Fresno State women's basketball team is heading into the back stretch of their
schedule undefeated in WAC play
and that could be due
to how well the team has gelled together
on and off the court
it's a long season we all have our moments but
they actually get along and i think that translates to on the floor as well
you see them hang out off the court at different university functions and then on
the court i think that helps in the course int his long season i know
it equates to sharing a basketball trying together on defense playing
together better moving together so uh... i think it all runs together.
and heading into the final games before the WAC tournament
the players are feeling confident in each other and are getting stronger as
the season progresses
our defense is improving a lot, our pressure and pace actually
is picking up and
you don't see that ah... too many times in the season. So teams
slacked off but we're picking it up even more in our overall game
we came together really well i think that as a group we're playing really well.
defensively we;ve come together really good
offensively we're really good but i think now going into the second round
we need to bring it up another level
'cause all the other teams have nothing to lose
the bulldogs winning streak has begun to get
national attention
and coach wiggins is proud to see the progression of the team since he has
been
Fresno's head coach since 2005
our programhas taken taken some steps forward
you'll not not
not huge leaps but
each year we've gotten better and better and i think that shows a positive growth
in it's a healthy situations

Fresno State celebrates their centennial homecoming celebration with a monumental victory
against new mexico state
the dogs thirty three to ten win is the seventeenth straight
against the aggies
it end up good and it did
everything went well todayon the hundreds birthday of frresno state
which is a it's a great milestone for this university a hundred years old
but the game would not be the same as the was not for the magnificent breakout
game
for my mighty mouse robbie rouse
i felt healthy coming into the game
i know i'm not
going to be completely healthy until
we get into the off season coming back week in and week out
i just knew i had to come back and i felt good and just had a good game.
i though he handeled it really well you know
sixteen carries for a hundred and fifty two yards of nine point four average
that's a good night
that's a really good night. the dog defense also contained the aggies to one hundred
and three yards in the first half and the 'dogs led thirty to three
pressure on the quarterback and many mistakes made by the aggies helped make
the defensive game run smooth.
uh... defensively
uh... i though the pass rush was good
run defense was good except for the one screen on the sideline a big
play there and uh...
that one drive they had late in the game i thought our defense shut them down pretty good
our main focus was to come out tonight
and just dominate in all phases of the game
and i think we did a good job of that
from start to finish...it kind of fell off a little bit
but we've been working hard
the dogs now move on from this victory to prepare
to leave bulldog stadium for the first time in october to face their closest
WAC rival
San Jose state
