Fresno State Bulldogs (2-1) vs. New Mexico Lobos (0-3)
The Bulldogs of Fresno State have gotten quicker and stronger with the ability and use of rushing and passing to make up the efficient offensive balance. Malik Sherrod plays a significant role with 191 yards on the ground from 51 attempts, averaging 3.7 yards per carry and three touchdowns. He carries the ball for a maximum of 48 yards, which exhibits explosive capabilities and is an excellent weapon for the Bulldog’s running game. This is similar to the match predicted in tomorrow’s California vs Florida St. That is, consistent rushing plays are needed, which are the team’s goals. Mac Dalena leads the receivers with 384 yards on 15 caught passes, an impressive average of 25.6 yards per catch, and three touchdowns. Further stretching Fresno State’s already explosive-looking offense vertically is also his longest catch of 75 yards and short rush to get into the end zone.
On the other hand, the New Mexico Lobos have not asserted themselves as they have promised to within their offensive structure. In terms of rushing yards earned by running back Eli Sanders, has managed to gain 188 yards but has attempted 40 runs, which is not terrific, obtaining 4.7 yards a carry. Although Sanders can’t yet tell his mother about his first touchdown, he is one of the players needed to achieve New Mexico’s goals. In the receiving Department, wide receiver Luke Wysong has 281 yards from 20 catches, with an average of 14.1 yards per catch and a touchdown. The longest reception of his 53 yards shows the player can open up the field, and this sort of comparison makes today’s game of Bowling Green vs Texas A&M interesting, as alternating reception where running gaps exist creates balance within the game.
Mikey Keene QB vs. Devon Dampier QB
Quarterback Mikey Keene, who handles the ball efficiently under pressure, is in charge of the Fresno State offense. So far, Keene has attempted 93 passes, completing 58 for an acrobatic total of 814 yards, registering a completion rate of 62.4%. Scaling to many 5 TDs, averaging 8.8 yards per attempt, and earning a 145 passer rating, Keene knows how to play and is feared by defenders. This incident requires four interceptions, showing that concentration is necessary when under pressure, for example, when the team is under siege, which is critical in ensuring that the offensive structure of Fresno state is not jeopardized by counter-attacking defense mechanisms.
New Mexico’s quarterback, Devon Dampier, is the brain of the squad with fortitude. First, Dampier still finished with 64 completions out of 112 attempts for a total of 723 yards with a percentage completion rate of 57.1. His average remains consistent at 6.5 yards for every pass thrown, with five touchdowns and four pass interceptions. Possessing potential amidst hindrances, Dampier’s play offers promise, with loss of ball and improvement of sack efficiency being important on the offensive approach and participation of the entire game.
