Fresno State kicks off the 2008 football campaign at Rutgers on Sept. 1. What would you say are the team's strengths and weaknesses? How strong is The Schedule on a national level?
Should be an exciting first game and a very good Litmus test to began as Rutgers usually puts together a strong team. Our strength is that we have a lot of returning starters. As far as weakness, maybe the D-line. Lost Tyler Clutts and Jason Shirley, although the replacements aren't brand new and Shirley only played a few games last year anyway. Should be a good season. As for the schedule it's definitely brutal. Rutgers, UCLA, AND Wisconsin!!! If...IF, the bulldogs manage to come out of Pasadena with a 4-0 record then let the BCS hype begin. I know everyone wants to talk about it already but there's plenty of work for Pat Hill and company to do before then. Everyone buy your tickets to the Wisconsin game. We should be sold out already. As a sidenote youtube "jump around" and find the Wisconsin version of what we do; puts us to shame. Go dogs.
