The Bulldogs enter their bye week before finishing the season with two home games, Nov. 19 vs. Hawai’i and Nov. 26 vs. San Jose State
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – The Fresno State football team lost to Colorado State 37-0 on Saturday afternoon at Hughes Stadium. It was the first time the Bulldogs have been shutout since Nov. 19, 2010.
The Bulldogs' offense struggled to find their rhythm early, going three-and-out with its first three drives. All while the Rams could do no wrong despite falling short on a fourth-and-1 at the 11-yard line during their first drive. Jeff Camilli and James Bailey converged on Izzy Matthews for a 1-yard loss to stop a 12-play, 65-yard drive.
From that point forward, Colorado State scored on its next six possessions – five touchdowns and one field goal. The Rams registered 380 yards on their six scoring drives.
Fresno State meanwhile turned to quarterback Zach Kline after Chason Virgil exited the game with a shoulder injury following the 'Dogs' first drive.
The offense recorded 68 total yards in the first half and trailed in the first downs margin 18-2 at halftime. The 'Dogs posted 59 yards in third quarter and 105 yards in the final frame, resulting in a season-low 232 yards offense.
Kline finished with 147 yards passing, going 11-of-24. He connected with Jamire Jordan for a 48-yard pitch-and-catch in the fourth quarter – the Bulldogs' longest play from scrimmage in the game. Kline also gained 26 yards on the ground with 17 carries.
Stratton Brown led Fresno State in tackles for the fourth-straight game. He posted nine stops.
Fresno State (1-9, 0-6 MW) dropped its eighth-straight game, marking the longest losing streak in school history.
Quotables
Interim head coach Eric Kiesau on Colorado State...
"You've got to give a lot of credit to Colorado State. They did a very good job. They played a very physical brand of football. They gave us some pressures and we had them picked up, but they played really physical. You have to give a lot of credit to them."
Interim head coach Eric Kiesau on Zach Kline's performance off the bench…
"It's tough. He had a lot of pressure around him. There were a few times he should have settled his feet down and thrown the ball. Without looking at the tape and really looking at it, I don't want to speak prematurely, but he had a few mistakes obviously, he had a lot of stress around. I think he was giving it everything he had and he gave great effort. It just wasn't our night tonight."
