- Fresno State is 0-2 for the first time since 2014. What's in common is both years the 'Dogs opened against two P5 programs, what's different is their average margin of loss in 2019 is 5.5 points per game versus 40.5 points per game in 2014.
- Fresno State has suffered just six losses in its last 27 games.
- The offense is producing 29.0 points per game, which ranks T-71st best in the FBS ... but it ranks 12th best in the nation for teams that have played at least two Power 5 teams over the first three weeks of action.
- Fresno State suffered just its second home loss under Jeff Tedford last time out. The Bulldogs are 11-2 at home in the Tedford era.
