Cal Poly vs Fresno State Preview
Fresno State and Cal Poly meet again in an early-season clash as they two California teams did the year before.
The Bulldogs routed the Mustangs 63-10 in that matchup. Fresno State finished the season 10-3 while Cal Poly stumbled to 2-9.
Bulldogs head coach Jack Tedford returns to the helm after stepping away in 2019 for health reasons. Previous head coach Kalen DeBoer left to coach the Washington Huskies.
Jake Heaner will lead the Bulldogs offense again after a stellar 2021 season. The quarterback threw for 4,096 yards and 33 touchdowns versus nine interceptions last year.
Running back Jordan Mims returns after a 710-yard, six-touchdown season. Malik Sherrod could emerge as another running back to help the rushing load for the Bulldogs.
“Being a smaller back, sometimes when we get looked at, that’s a part that people think is left out,” Sherrod said via the Fresno Bee’s Robert Kuwada. “I really try to focus on being the best I can at pass pro. You have to be willing to do it, and you have to want to do it, and I try to go as hard as I can.”
“A guy comes into your gap, and that’s your guy,” Sherrod added. “You have to want to stop him right there and say, ‘You’re not getting any farther than this.’ It’s a constant fight. I just try to win every time. You might not win every time, but you have to come with that mindset.”
If the Bulldogs get a sizable lead on Cal Poly again, developing depth and resting starters can occur. Fresno State has two Pac-12 opponents around the corner with Oregon State and USC.
Cal Poly head coach Beau Baldwin looks to keep building his program after two-win season the year before.
“Every program goes through its ups and downs. It’s always a work in progress,” Baldwin said via GoPoly.com. “When you take over a program and change the system, you usually become a young team, the players adapting to your program and system, always going through growing pains, and we definitely had a lot of that.”
Cal Poly has new a talented receiver in Dominique Thompson, a transfer from Utah. Chris Coleman, a former Fresno State player, also poses a threat for the Bulldogs.
