The object is ball security with the defenders getting one shot to strip the ball after the ball carrier runs through the "blaster"... http://fresnostate.scout.com/2/888117.html 2047 Mario Gomez http://fresnostate.scout.com/2/888117.html Fri, 14 Aug 2009 00:53:00 GMT 0 164 Fresno State fresnostate The start of fall camp is something diehard fans relish each year.

The ‘Dogs are in the midst of their summer offseason workouts and BB.C brings you some photos and video of the action… http://fresnostate.scout.com/2/871266.html 2047 Staff http://fresnostate.scout.com/2/871266.html Wed, 10 Jun 2009 17:53:00 GMT 1 164 Fresno State fresnostate The defense dominated most of the spring, save the 86-31 dominating win the offense notched in the annual Spring Game. BB.C was there to see the plays unfold, and will take a more in depth glance back at what it may all mean for the upcoming season. There is a lot of potential and hope that fans who only witnessed the spring game may not have gotten to see… http://fresnostate.scout.com/2/862962.html 2047 Mario Gomez http://fresnostate.scout.com/2/862962.html Wed, 06 May 2009 05:01:00 GMT 1 164 Fresno State fresnostate The defense continues to look impressive this spring. The team speed is improved, as is the depth. Moreover, they look like they’re playing with a swagger. While the offense has struggled, it got the upper hand on Wednesday with a little help of Ebahn Feathers’ feet. “We’re learning the zone read and option game with our players,” said Coach Pat Hill. “These kids have never done that here.” http://fresnostate.scout.com/2/856991.html 2047 Mario Gomez http://fresnostate.scout.com/2/856991.html Thu, 16 Apr 2009 07:58:00 GMT 1 164 Fresno State fresnostate One of the biggest surprises of this spring has been the play of RFr. free safety Phillip Thomas. With 2008 starter, Lorne Bell, hobbled most of spring with a hamstring injury, Thomas is taking first team reps over 2007 starter Marvin Haynes. Coach Pat Hill states Thomas is battling for the starting job, injuries or not.

Last season, the Fresno State defense was one of the worse statistically in the nation. But midway through spring ball, the defense is holding its own dominating last week’s first spring scrimmage. Can they keep it up the second half of the spring? http://fresnostate.scout.com/2/855451.html 2047 Staff http://fresnostate.scout.com/2/855451.html Fri, 10 Apr 2009 20:11:00 GMT 1 164 Fresno State fresnostate Both the offense and defense cannot have great days. But neither has to have an awful day either. The Bulldogs’ quarterback play was – for the lack of a better term – atrocious. While some of the blame can be placed on the wind, dropped passes, and shifting of the offensive line, the defense deserves a good portion of the credit… http://fresnostate.scout.com/2/853511.html 2047 Mario Gomez http://fresnostate.scout.com/2/853511.html Sat, 04 Apr 2009 07:10:00 GMT 0 164 Fresno State fresnostate Spring practice begins Monday and that means the Bulldogs are gearing up to address its biggest pressing need this new season – defense. Still mourning the loss of defensive coordinator Dan Brown to cancer, the Bulldogs will rely on new DC Randy Stewart. While his defensive approach remains to be seen with this year, BB.C will look at the defense, unit by unit and speculate on schemes… http://fresnostate.scout.com/2/849713.html 2047 Choua Yang http://fresnostate.scout.com/2/849713.html Mon, 23 Mar 2009 09:17:00 GMT 1 164 Fresno State fresnostate If there is one gripe Fresno State fans have concerning the Bulldog secondary over the last few years, it’s their inability to turn and look for the ball. Former BYU graduate assistant Micah Alba was named the new cornerback coach at Fresno State on Tuesday. He tells BB.C to expect some changes in the secondary this season… http://fresnostate.scout.com/2/842456.html 2047 Mario Gomez http://fresnostate.scout.com/2/842456.html Thu, 26 Feb 2009 10:45:00 GMT 1 164 Fresno State fresnostate The 2008 season was not memorable.

Fresno State needs to address these five keys, if it wants to win the game. Both teams have an excellent running game, based behind a stout offensive line. The big difference comes at the defensive units and the way the offense is called. http://fresnostate.scout.com/2/789318.html 2047 Choua Yang http://fresnostate.scout.com/2/789318.html Thu, 11 Sep 2008 03:03:00 GMT 1 164 Fresno State fresnostate BarkBoard.com caught up with standout safety Marvin Haynes this past week at practice.

The 2007 secondary was extremely young, but it did improve from the year before. Now, with a year under their belt and with seven of the top eight returning, it should be ‘Dogs best secondary in the last three years. http://fresnostate.scout.com/2/770903.html 2047 Mario Gomez http://fresnostate.scout.com/2/770903.html Mon, 21 Jul 2008 17:35:00 GMT 1 164 Fresno State fresnostate Fresno State's projected starting free safety Marvin Haynes spent most of spring ball watching from the sidelines.
