THE BONES
- Fresno State Athletics is celebrating its centennial year and the 2021 football season is the 100th season of competition in program history.
- Fresno State played six straight games to open up the season, one of only six FBS schools to play six games heading into week six of the college football season.
- Fresno State has now played as many games as it did in the entire 2020 season.
- Fresno State's loss to Hawai'i on Oct. 2 dropped it from the national polls and out of the Top 25.
- Whether it be transfers or true freshmen, Fresno State has seen a handful of fresh faces see their first taste of Bulldog game action through the first six games this season. Twenty three first-year 'Dogs have played in at least one game on the year.
- Fresno State's 2021 team captains are quarterback Jake Haener, running back Ronnie Rivers, defensive end David Perales and linebacker Tyson Maeva.
- QB Jake Haener ranks in the top 10 in six statistical categories among FBS players this season. The Bulldog quarterback is in the top five in five of those areas.
- The Bulldogs have made quick work on the offensive scoring drives, having seven touchdown scoring drives this season that have been scored in less than 1:00.
- Senior running back Ronnie Rivers became the program's all-time leading touchdown scorer with touchdown No. 45 of his career against UConn on Aug. 28.
- At Hawai'i, Mims had the longest kickoff return of the season as he returned the opening kickoff for 37 yards. It was the most return yards on a single kickoff return since Jamire Jordan had a 65-yard return against San Jose State on Nov. 24, 2018.
- Jalen Cropper has scored at least one receiving touchdown in seven-straight games, dating back to the 2020 season finale against New Mexico (Dec. 12).
- Fresno State's defense has registered at least 8.0 tackles for loss in five of six games played this season. The Bulldogs are third in the FBS in total tackles for loss (50.0) and are averaging 8.3 TFL per game this season, enough for fourth in the FBS.
- Fresno State is No. 7 in the FBS in fumbles recovered this season (7). The Bulldogs have recovered at least one fumble in each game on the year, with a season-best two at then-No. 13 UCLA.
- On Friday, Sept. 24, Fresno State Athletics announced it will retire the number 22 jersey in recognition of Bulldog fullback Lorenzo Neal (1990-92). The retirement celebration will take place at Fresno State's next home game, homecoming, on Oct. 23 versus Nevada.
