The Fresno State football team opened the 2025 season with a big-time thud.
And viewers let the Bulldogs have it following a 31-7 loss to Kansas on Saturday afternoon.
One viewer said “shoutout Fresno State for ruining the over” as a sign that they waged that the 51 points set by oddsmakers would go over.
But another viewer was being honest saying “Fresno State has a lot of work ahead of them. Kansas might be a little better than last season.”
No doubt Fresno State has a lot of work to do based by the showing in front of viewers on Fox.
It sure didn’t help that quarterback E.J.Warner turned the ball over three times. Turnovers have been haunting him when he played at Temple and Rice and it followed him to Lawrence, Kansas.
Another viewer put out a theory saying Warner got the job because of his dad, who is a Hall of Fame quarterback.
Warner ended up playing the entire game and completed 18 of 29 for 179 yards and two interceptions.
Warner will have a chance to redeem himself when the Bulldogs play Georgia Southern at Valley Children’s Stadium at 6:30 p.m. Aug. 30.
