- Fresno State enters its season opener at USC having won 21 of its last 25 games, which includes a 12-2 campaign in 2018 that saw the 'Dogs win the Mountain West Championship and Las Vegas Bowl.
- Within the Bulldogs' 12 wins in 2018 was a 2-0 mark against Pac-12 programs.
- Despite only 230 miles separating LA Coliseum and Bulldog Stadium, Fresno State and USC will meet for just the fifth time in the history of the series on Saturday. The Bulldogs won the first meeting in 1992 while the Trojans won the next three, but one of three wins was vacated (2005) due to NCAA penalty.
- Fresno State enters week one riding a four-game win streak, tied for the sixth-longest active streak nationally (The 'Dogs trail Clemson-15, Army-9, Appalachian State-6, Ohio State-6 and Florida-5).
- Fresno State posted two-straight double-digit winning seasons for the second time in program history. The Bulldogs did it in 1988-89, and again in 2017-18. Three-straight double-digit winning seasons has never been accomplished.
- Fresno State was picked to win the West Division in the 2019 preseason poll released by the Mountain West (selected by the media). The prediction pits the Bulldogs to face Boise State in the MW title game for a third consecutive year.
- Fresno State became the first team in FBS history to secure back-to-back double-digit winning seasons following a double-digit loss season (2016: 1-11, 2017: 10-4, 2018: 12-2).
- Following Hawai'i's week zero win over Arizona, the Mountain West extended its winning streak as a conference to five games against Pac-12 opponents. Fresno State is responsible for two of the five.
