Former Fresno State quarterback Trent Dilfer has joined the lineup of NFL analysts at ESPN, according to a story on ESPN's Web site.

Dilfer, who won a Super Bowl with the Baltimore Ravens, will appear on several ESPN programs, including NFL Live, NFL PrimeTime, SportsCenter (Sunday and Monday nights during the NFL season) and Monday Night Countdown.

Dilfer also will contribute to ESPN Radio and ESPN.com.

"Trent is a Super Bowl champion quarterback with strong, candid opinions and a tremendous insight on the game and today's players, having been in the huddle just last season," said Norby Williamson, ESPN's executive vice president of production. "We look forward to having him join our team, where he will appear on multiple programs and across our multimedia platforms."

Dilfer, who played the last of his 14 seasons with San Francisco last year, announced his retirement last week. Dilfer also played for Tampa Bay, Seattle and Cleveland.

"Football has been a wonderful part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have been blessed to play the game for so long and with so many great players and people at my side," Dilfer told ESPN. "It has provided me with incomparable experiences and memories, and for this I am so grateful. I am just as fortunate now to continue my lifelong relationship with football on another championship team, ESPN. I am looking forward to taking this next step in my career and my life."

My thoughts: Good job in getting a win against a decent team.

My conerns: the defense showed up ready to play but also were let off the hook a couple of times on some potentially HUGE plays for Rutgers. Conerbacks need to not play so far off the ball. And when they do come up, they need to bump the receivers, put 'em on their backsides, and quit playing follow the leader.

My praise: Offense came together in the second half and looked pretty good. The key, I think was they made adjustments. Keep it going and develop a killer instinct.
