SERVING CAMPUS SINCE 1922

Greek social activities postponed Via University Communications Out of respect following the death of a Fresno State fraternity pledge, student leaders of the university’s fraternity and sorority councils – representing about 1,100 students -- have canceled their organizations’ activities through the weekend.

Philip Dhanens, an 18-year-old freshman from Bakersfield, died Sunday, Sept. 2, two days after reportedly drinking alcohol at an off-campus fraternity house party hosted by Theta Chi. The Panhellenic Association, which governs the five National Pan-Hellenic Conference sororities at Fresno State, announced it is postponing until Oct. 11-15 the formal fall recruitment of members previously scheduled Sept.

The Interfraternity Council, the governing body for 12 of the 22 fraternities at Fresno State including Theta Chi, canceled all social activities at the nine physical chapter houses through Sept.

A look into Fresno State alcohol policy

By Rogue Morales The Collegian

Dalton Runberg / The Collegian

Booths on campus stand empty; out of respect, student leaders of university fraternity and sorority councils have cancelled activities through the weekend.

With the recent alcohol related death of a student, the question about Fresno State policy arises.

Fresno State has an alcohol policy covering all campus events as well as events affiliated with the university.

Fresno State is not a dry campus. Those campuses that are dry not serve alcohol, regardless of a persons age.

A ccordin g to th e F re sn o State Statement of Philosophy regarding alcohol, the university is against all forms of alcohol abuse.

The philosophy states, “California State University, Fresno, is committed to creating a safe and healthy learning environment for all members of the campus community.

The university disapproves of alcohol abuse, intoxication, and any resulting unacceptable conduct.”

Though alcohol is available at Fresno State, many rules and regulations accompany the use of alcohol by students and faculty.

A place where this is prevalent is during Fresno State football games.

According to Athletic Communications, alcohol is not sold in the stadium except in the suites. Alcohol is permitted, however, for tailgating events outside the stadium.

According to Fresno State Police Department’s website, tailgating can only be done on the day of an outdoor college athletic event. Those tailgating can only do so in controlled and supervised areas.

People wishing to host a tailgating event where the consumption of alcohol will be present must register as season pass holders or register on site with the See POLICY, Page 3

Expanded farm market expected to open Spring of 2013

By Mark Smith The Collegian

Fans of Fresno State’s agricultural products have something to look forward to early next year—the completion of a new, larger location for the Rue and Gwen Gibson Farm Market.

The market was created in 1984 as an outdoor stand to sell produce grown

by Fresno State students and has since

moved indoors to expand into other university ventures such as dairy, meat, and flowers.

Because of that expansion, officials say the current building, which was built in 1955 and located on universityowned land at the corner of Barstow and Chestnut avenues has become outdated.

“The existing market is too small and the building is very old,” said Deborah

Ezra Romero / The Collegian

The current Farm Market offers a variety of produce from Fresno State. The new location will be just south of the current building.

Adishian-Astone, the executive director of the Agricultural Foundation, an auxiliary organization that operates the market.

The new location, which is planned to be approximately 4,000 square feet in size, will nearly double the current market’s available floor space. It will be located just south of the current building.

According to the project description filed with the university, new features will include: freezers, coolers, an ice cream counter, a wine cellar and tasting area, floral shop, a fresh meat and deli counter and multiple displays for a wide variety of products grown and processed by students of the Jordan College of Agricultural Sciences and Technology.

“The Jordan College is planning for new value-added products to be available,” Adishian-Astone said. “We may also supplement with some Fresno State apparel.”

An example of a value-added product is the popular Bulldog Bark candy bar, which incorporates an ingredient Fresno State does not make, chocolate, along with Fresno State-grown raisins and nuts to craft a complete treat.

Other than these value-added products, every item sold at the market is and will remain Fresno State exclusive, said Adashian-Astone.

With the larger building, new features and more products, AdishianAstone said that sales from the new

location are projected to increase by $70,000 in five to six months. Sales in 2011 to 2012 exceeded $1.3 million.

“We are being conservative in our sales projections until we have a better understanding of traffic patterns and seasonal availability of products,” Adishian-Astone said.

Excess revenue, including the projected increase, goes back to students in the form of reinvestment.

“All surplus revenue generated from the Agricultural Foundation units is reinvested back into facilities and equipment in order to provide our students with a hands-on experience in conjunction with their academic classes,” Adishian-Astone said.

Construction of the new location was made possible thanks to a $1.5 million donation from the estate of Joyce Mae Gibson, a notable local attorney. The market was renamed in honor of her parents following the donation in 2008.

Mark Wilson Construction, Inc. began grading the land where the building will be located on Aug. 20. AdashianAstone said actual construction of the building itself will be swift.

“They’re fabricating all the metal and other parts off-site,” Adashian-Astone said. “So actually transporting and putting up those pieces here will go very quick.”

The current market will remain open until the new location is completed and See FARM, Page 3

As a teen – before I could even vote– I was one of them. You know the ones. I helped run a political headquarters in L.A. County. I proudly slapped an adhesive “Bush/Chaney” emblem to my ’97 Dodge Intrepid. And forget the sand – I would have constructed a 25-foot porcelain “Dubya.”

I had my own ways to support – no, idolize – the politicians I deemed worthy. It took almost ten years to realize the time, support and faith I had invested in a single person’s ability to redeem our country.

But now, I see things differently.

Because our founders appeared so apolitical and sincere in their principles and motives, it feels almost pathetic to pay homage to present-day politicians who use money and appearance as power to drive their agendas.

I say this because men like Thomas Jefferson had a vision for modern-day America. In his documented thoughts, he speaks of the “sacred fire of freedom and self-government,” as stated in his 1809 letter to the citizens of Washington.

Ron Chernow, a prize-winning expert in colonial history, stated in a pbs.org article that the founding fathers “would be somewhat dismayed by the nature of political discourse” if they could see present-day America.

Chernow continued, stating, “These were men who had rich political visions that they passionately and extensively argued. I think that they would be dismayed by a world of politicians who are governed by pollsters and focus groups, who express themselves through 60-second ads, rather than through speeches and papers and pamphlets, and these were men who didn’t have dispositions, but they had philosophies.”

I understand America’s yearning for a strong, personable, honest leader

who will see us through this drought we have endured for far too long. Even someone as widely admired as Kennedy or Reagan cannot begin to redeem our country’s debts and shortcomings.

If only the U.S. returned to its roots and understood that we the people are responsible for our own life, liberty and pursuits of happiness – our leaders are simply here to protect and serve next to us, not above.

Do they really expect us to have a 4 year amnesia? To even get an ounce of consideration from me, they have to acknowledge his existence and explain to me how their failed policies of 8 years in power are different now. It appears they want the same thing of extreme tax cuts for wealthy individuals from regular income tax to capital gains to inheritance tax while continuing to spend money on military and private contractors and continuing subsidies to oil and farm companies and reducing regulation. Then they want to cut spending on popular programs that the poor and sick depend on like medicare and social security to make up for it. If the only strategy for Republicans is to continue to advocate for failed policies of Bush and pretend we’ve forgotten and point at Obama not being so great, I’m not impressed.”

The Panhellenic Association “will work to support the university and Greek community, as well as provide additional education to our membership,” the statement concluded.

“We have a responsibility here to demonstrate that we are taking this matter very seriously,” said Michael C. Eberhard, president of the Interfraternity Council and the senator of Greek Affairs for Associated Students Inc.

Lekan Maraiyesa, president of the National Pan-Hellenic Council (Divine Nine) that has three fraternities and three sororities, said, “We are working alongside the Fresno State interfrater nal community to do whatever is necessary to raise awareness about the effects of alcohol.”

Tressa Martinez, president of the United Sorority and Fraternity Council (seven fraternities and 11 sororities), said its organizations “will postpone all social and recruitment activities and work alongside our interfraternal broth-

ers and sisters to show our support to the Dhanens family and to raise awareness of the effects of alcohol consumption with our members.”

Eddie Domingue z, Greek Life adviser in the university’s Division of Student Affairs, said the councils advised him of their intentions and asked him to post their respective statements on the university’s Greek Life web page.

T he student leaders are working together to develop activities regarding alcohol abuse awareness that will be announced next week.

Dr. Paul M. Oliaro, the university’s vice president for Student Affairs, commended the student Greek Life leaders.

“Canceling the activities sends a strong message that our Greek Life community is very concer ned about what happened last weekend and that they want to step back and reflect on what they can do now and in the future to create a safe environment and to take care of each other,” Oliaro said.

Fresno Police are investigating Mr. Dhanens’ death after a party at the Theta Chi house

on Friday, Aug. 31. Because alcohol and students under age 18 were involved, Fresno State suspended university recognition of the fraternity pending results of the investigation.

Theta Chi’s national organization also suspended the chapter and sent senior officials to Fresno to investigate.

“We typically hire before the summer season and each semester as needed,”Sobieralski said.

Sobieralski said that students are limited to 20 hours a week while enrolled in classes. “ D u r i n g t h e s u m m e r, ” Sobieralski said, “students who are not enrolled in summer school can work 40 hours.

The Bucket, located on campus next door to Taco Bell, sells a variety of beers and has a strict policy of two beers per person per hour.

Once the game starts, all tailgating must end. Those who participated must enter the stadium or leave.

However, two individuals can remain at the tailgating sites. These individuals may not consume alcohol.

Students, ages 21 and over, may purchase alcohol at The Bucket.

However, Fresno State policy does not permit an individual to be under the influence.

According to the policy, bring under the influence is defined as: “ … Having a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08 percent or greater, the standard used to determine legal intoxication for operating motor vehicles in California.”

The Bucket’s policy regarding the sale of alcohol requires customers to show proper identification and limit the consumption to two beers per hour, said Robin Dunn, a line cook with The Bucket for two years.

“Cashiers and runners are very mindful of that,” Dunn said.

Should a customer order a pitcher of beer, there must be

at least two people sharing the pitcher. All people in the group must also show identification.

“People are mostly responsible that come in here,” said Jessilyn Hodges, a cashier at The Bucket and a senior at Fresno State. “The only problem I’ve had is people asking to get pitchers to go.”

According to the Fresno State alcohol policy, only The Califor nia State University, Fresno Association, Inc. and the Agricultural Foundation of California State University, Fresno, are permitted to sell alcoholic beverages on campus.

Organizations may request a per mit to serve alcohol through Fresno State food services for events.

Overall Index: The index, produced by Ernie Goss Ph.D., research associate with the Craig School of Business at Califor nia State University, Fresno, dipped to 50.6 from July’s 51.6. An index greater than 50 indicates an expansionary economy over the course of the next three to six months.

Wholesale Prices: The prices-paid index, which tracks the cost of raw materials and supplies, expanded to 62.3 from July’s 52.9.

“This is the first indication that the recent period of very benign inflation may be ending. At the wholesale level, we are tracking growth at a very moderate pace. Furthermore over the next six months, survey participants expect the costs of inputs that they purchase to rise by 3.7 percent.

This annualized rate of 7.4 percent is much too high for the Federal Reserve (Fed) to

ignore any Fed action on inflation. With food prices pushed higher by the drought, further cheapening of the dollar by the Fed via QE3 (bond buying) would only serve to drive food and energy prices even higher with questionable positive outcomes,” Goss said Inventories: Businesses expanded inventories for the month. The August inventory reading dropped to 54.0 from July’s much stronger 60.4.

Business Confidence: Looking ahead six months, economic optimism, captured by the business confidence index, fell to a weak 38.8 from July’s 39.5.

“Survey participants, much like the entire business sector, remain very pessimistic

regarding future economic conditions. The drought, the fiscal cliff, the elections, and European economic turmoil are all weighing on economic confidence,” Goss said.

Trade: New export orders once again declined for the month and at a faster pace than for July. The new export orders index sank to 34.8 from 44.6 in July. At the same time, August imports contracted for the month with an index of 47.1, down from 48.4 in July.

Other components: Other components of the August Business Conditions Index were new orders at 47.7, up from 43.4 in July; production or sales at 47.4, up from 42.8; and delivery lead-time at 55.0 from 60.1 in July.

Baker, Traveler, Mentor and Teacher

By Cameron Woolsey The Collegian

There is only one thing that can match Klaus Tenbergen’s love of baking, and that’s his passion for education.

Throughout his 35-year career as a baker and educator, Tenbergen has won numerous awards celebrating his mastery of his craft. For six years he has been involved in the community, clocking over 3,000 volunteer hours.

Recently, Tenbergen was one of only two in the U.S. that earned the Modern Baking magazine’s 2012 Leadership Award for Industry Service for “serving the baking industry as a teacher, association leader and mentor.”

Tenbergen’s passion for learning has taken him all over the world. Originally from Oberhausen, Germany, he has cooked in parts of South Africa, the United States, as well as traveling to Chile and Mexico.

Re c e n t l y, Te n b e r g e n r e t u r n e d from Cochabamba, Bolivia where he instructed a company in how to empower the local people, who create glutenfree products in the Andes. Many of these products are sold in various local markets in the U.S. such as Whole Foods.

But no matter how far out he travels, Tenbergen always returns to Fresno State, to be in the company of those who share in the love of learning.

“In a certain stage of your life you give back to the people who were good to you and become from a mentee to a mentor,” Tenbergen said. “You become a mentor to other people who ever want it.”

A s a yo u n g m a n i n G e r m a n y, Tenbergen was presented with two different options for his education. As

Tenbergen's students learn many facets of the food industry, from baking to management.

Tenbergen's students paying close attention to the instruction. Several of his students have competed in annual national baking competitions.

typical for European education, he was given the choice to either go to school for nine or 10 years and then choose a trade, or finish 12 years of schooling and enter a university.

Tenbergen, however, chose his own option.

“It’s one thing to go into your PhD. and go right into teaching without any real life experience and work experience,” Tenbergen said. “I did it the other way around.”

He went into the trade first, beginning as an apprentice baker in Germany in 1977.

Soon after, he traveled to South Africa where he lived and worked in Namibia, Bophuthatswana, before becoming the owner of a bakery, restaurant, confectionary and importing and exporting business in Pretoria in 1989 called Der Zuckerbäcker, a favorite spot for Nelson Mandela.

“Nelson Mandela was one of my customers for many years—a regular customer,” Tenbergen said. “He came once every week, once every other week, to pick up some of my creations.” “ H e w a s p a r t i c u l a rl y f o n d o f Bienenstich, our specialty cake,” Tenbergen said.

“He had a special love for that.”

Tenbergen was an in-house caterer at the American Embassy in Pretoria. It was there he served Al Gore, who visited the embassy for the inauguration of

Mandela when he became the first freely elected president of South Africa.

“You meet some really interesting people throughout,” Tenbergen said.

In 1996 Tenbergen immigrated to the United States, where he converted a barge into a floating fine dining restaurant, called Bistro Thabong, while living in Peoria, Ill. Tenbergen came to a crossroad in his career.

“I realized that, in America, you need to have two things: education and certification,” he said. “I was self-employed very early in life. I thought ‘what do I want to do with the rest of my life?’”

At the age of 38, he decided to return to school.

After earning his high school degree, Tenbergen went to Chicago where he enrolled in Kendall College in 1998.

He earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees while there, and sat as the chair of the baking and pastry program.

In 2006, Tenbergen joined the faculty at Fresno State, where he earned his doctorate in educational leadership, he said.

He is currently the director of the culinology program and assistant professor of food and nutrition at the department for food science and nutrition.

For around seven years, Tenbergen has taught students how to excel in the industry of food science.

Tenbergen offers service-learning opportunities as well as extracurricular work for those up for the challenge.

Tenbergen works with students who are in a degree program, transition and special education students at Sanger Unified, and works with the Poverello House to provide service-lear ning opportunities.

For those interested, Tenbergen offers a special opportunity to some of his students. In his Culinology 50 class, Tenbergen offers a challenge for those up to it.

As part of the curriculum of the class, the students only bake for several days. However, if someone is interested in doing more, Tenbergen offers the extracurricular work.

In 2010, Chee Her accepted Tenbergen’s challenge, and he took her under his wing.

After training under Tenbergen’s tutelage, Her competed in the third annual America’s Best Raisin Bread Contest.

She competed along with 36 of her peers, but against only two others in her category of student artisan.

Her made bread pre pared with ingredients including natural yeast, Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes.

Proving her skill, Her won, earning her a free trip to Yosemite, Napa Valley, San Francisco and the Culinary Institute of America.

“For someone who never baked to go to a national competition, that’s quite a challenge,” Tenbergen said.

She presented in front of a panel of judges, comprised of authorities of baking in the U.S. One of the judges was Tenbergen himself, so the pressure was surely on.

“It was tough love,” Tenbergen called it.

“I’m glad I didn’t give up,” Her said.

“It was something I really wanted.”

This year, Tenbergen has a new student who has stepped up to his challenge.

Alessia Nardocci will compete in the same competition as Her this October.

She plans on making an Italian recipe of her grandmother’s—a bread called Mio Bucellato.

Nardocci said lear ning under Tenbergen has been a new experience.

“My dad is from Italy, so the mentality is similar in ways of character,” she said.

Tenbergen is tough, she says, but his teaching is sound.

“I learned how to be patient,” she said. “I learned how to listen. I want to learn from the best.”

Tenbergen said he plans to continue to expand the culinology program and proceed with offering his services to the community and to his students.

“It’s not about me,” he said. “I’d do it anyway, with or without recognition.

That’s who I am. That’s what I do, and that’s what I continue to do.

Artist Jonathan Brilliant will be working on his coffee stir stick installation in the Leon S. Peters Ellipse Gallery at the Henry Madden Library. During his construction, the department of art and design is given the opportunity to watch Brilliant work on his art. The installation will be displayed from Sept. 7-30.

Artist brings Brilliant work to Fresno State Via University Communications The Center for Creativity and the Arts at Fresno State will host renowned sculptor Jonathan Brilliant as artist in residence Sept.

7-20 to kick of f its 2012-13 theme “Consumption and Sustainability.”

Wo rk i n g i n t h e H e n r y Madden Library’s Leon S. Peters Ellipse Gallery, Brilliant will construct a large, site-specific sculpture titled “Woven & Stacked” that will remain on view until Sept. 30.

Brilliant’s massive struc-

tures woven out of 30,000 to 50,000 coffee stir sticks have been exhibited nationally and internationally. The works rely on tension and compression – not glue – for stability.

Considering the urban coffee shop his ‘natural environment,’ Brilliant’s concepts and materials are based on what he calls the “to-go coffee culture.”

In addition to stir sticks, his sculptures can include straws, lids and cup sleeves. His creations are meant to immerse viewers in Brilliant’s “sense that the coffee shop and related materials are more organic and nurturing than the ‘real’

natural environment.”

Fittingly, Brilliant will work within steps of the Madden Library’s Starbucks coffee bar.

Dr. José A. Díaz, associate dean of the College of Arts and Humanities and center’s interim director said, “Jonathan Brilliant reflects the high caliber of artist CCA endeavors to bring to our community. His dynamic enthusiasm and engineering ingenuity will create a rich environment for dialog and artistic exploration for university students, campus visitors and K-12 field trip participants.”

In addition to his visual

art, Brilliant is a drummer.

His sense of rhythm and an impulse to “draw in space” reflect these talents. “Central to all my work,” Brilliant said, “is an interest in patterning and mark-making fused with the use of pre- and post-consumer manufactured materials and the use of rhythm and repetition to create installations, objects and works on paper.”

The public is welcome to observe the artist at work in the library 11 a.m.-2 p.m.

Monday-Friday. Admission is free.

The center is an institution designed as a bridge

between people, disciplines and ideas through art and exploration of an annual theme addressing a current and complex issue facing society. This year’s “Consumption & Sustainability” will be illuminated through exhibitions, films, lectures, debates and performances.

Funding was provided by the John and Madeline Perenchio Arts Exhibition Endowment.

THIS WEEK IN THE MOUNTAIN WEST

By Ricardo Cano The Collegian

Fresno State, one of five Mountain West teams to start the 2012 season with a win, enters this week facing a tough n o n - c o n f e re n c e ro a d matchup against fourthranked Oregon.

But the Bulldogs aren’t the only Mountain West team that will have faced tough, early season trials and tribulations before conference play.

Ricardo Cano

Boise State, in their first game postKellen Moore, the NCAA’s winningest quarterback, lost at No. 13 Michigan State 17-13 in a contested season opener.

Hawaii was the first team to fall prey to top-ranked USC 49-10.

So which Mountain West teams face the hardest matchups entering week 2?

Read on… Boise State and Hawaii are idle this week… point spread according to VegasInsider.com.

Air Force (1-0) at No. 19 Michigan (0-1) The Falcons’ option offense opened the season at lightning speed against Football Championship Subdivision opponent Idaho State. Air Force rushed for 484 yards on 58 carries and executed a total of 69 plays—four more than Fresno State’s win over Weber State.

Granted, it was against an FCS oppo-

nent. But Air Force will need momentum from last week’s win in order to face a ranked Michigan team that features dual-threat quarterback in senior Denard Robinson. Last year, Robinson threw for over 2,000 yards and rushed for another 1,176. Speedy offenses will collide on Saturday at Michigan Stadium. Falcons 21.5-point underdogs South Florida (1-0) at Nevada (1-0) The Wolf Pack take on the Big East’s South Florida, a team that finished under .500 last season. Their 31-24 win against California was a game where Cal quarterback Zach Maynard’s threw an underachieving 47 percent of his passes for completions and top receiver Keenan Allen was held to three receptions. But Nevada’s 27 first downs showcased the efficiency it has behind the pistol offense. Saturday’s matchup against USF will probably be Nevada’s only remaining formidable non-conference opponent and looks to be highly contested. They face Texas State and Northwestern State this season as well.

Wolf Pack one-point favorites Toledo (0-1) at Wyoming (0-1) Wyoming enters this week’s matchup losing to No. 15 Texas 37-17. The Cowboys face a Toledo team that lost to the Pac-12’s Arizona in overtime by a touchdown score. Cowboys quarterback Brett Smith was intercepted twice and the Wyoming offense rushed for a total 69 yards against a tough

Texas defense. Toledo ranks 73rd overall among Football Bowl Subdivision schools in passing yards.

After this week, Mountain West teams will have faced six ranked opponents. Wyoming will look to produce more offensively this week. Cowboys 2.5-point favorites

N o r t h D a ko t a S t at e ( 1 - 0 ) at Colorado State (1-0) Colorado State’s Jim McElwain— BCS champion Alabama’s offensive coordinator last season—was another Mountain West coach who started their head coaching careers with a victory.

The Rams produced 298 total yards on offense (the same amount Derek Carr threw for in last week’s win over Weber State). They are one of two Mountain West teams this week to face off against an FCS opponent.

New Mexico (1-0) at No. 15/17 Texas (1-0) Oddly enough, New Mexico’s offense scored a Mountain West-leading 66 points against FCS school Southern University. Even if it was against an FCS opponent, the Lobos scoring drives featured a fumble recovery score, a passing score, an interception return, a kickoff return to the house, and five rushing touchdowns. New Mexico found several ways to score in their season opener. Odds are it won’t happen this week when they journey to Austin to face a Texas squad that features two

SOCCER

100-plus yard rushers in Joe Bergeron and Malcolm Brown. Lobos 38-point underdogs Army (0-0) at San Diego State (0-1) One team will leave this game with its first win of the season in what appears to be one of the more competitive matchups this week. Army starts its season this week after concluding a 3-9 2011 campaign where none of the quarterbacks on the offense threw above 1,000 yards.

Fresno State begins conference play in the Mountain West Sept. 29 at home against the Aztecs. Aztecs 6.5-point favorites

Northern Arizona (0-1) at UNLV (0-1) UNLV is the second Mountain West team to face an FCS team this week after airing it out for a subpar 116 yards in its 30-27 overtime loss to Minnesota. The Rebels also face the Pac-12’s Washington State and the WAC’s Utah State (which will jump ship to the Mountain West next season) in non-conference games.

Practice is going to have to make perfect for UNLV, which allowed 478 total yards from Minnesota’s offense. The Rebels finished 2-10 overall last season.

Utah Valley’s (2-3) Lindsey Morell leads her team her team with 2.7 kills per set.

Fresno State enters this weekend’s tour nament with back-to-back second place finishes at the Omni Hotels Colorado Tournament and in the El Paso Sports Commission Invite.

Foward Callie Hancock goes on offense in practice Aug. 30. Hancock had 27 points total in 2011.

By Ricardo Cano The Collegian The Bulldogs (0-4-2) will host UC Riverside tonight at Bulldog Stadium in their second home game of the season.

The Highlanders (3-2-1) enter tonight’s matchup coming off a 3-2 overtime win against University of Texas-El Paso in the UCR Tournament.

Fresno State enters tonight’s matchup still searching for its first win of the season.

Sophomore goalkeeper Katie DeVault and senior forward Callie Hancock lead a Bulldogs unit that have faced off against two ranked opponents, UCLA and Portland.

DeVault leads the Mountain West Conference with 42 saves and averages 7 saves per game.

The Highlanders are led by sophomore forward Celina Valencia. Valencia has scored three goals on 17 shot attempts in six games. Hancock leads Fresno State with three goals and is tied for third in the Mountain West for goals scored.

The Bulldogs will host two more home games—on Sept. 21 against CSU Bakersfield and Sept. 23 against Cal Poly—before starting their inaugural season in the Mountain West when they host Air Force on Sept. 30.

Fresno State battled UCLA to a 2-0 loss in their Aug. 24 home opener.

Roe Borunda / The Collegian

Running back Robbie Rouse rushes for a big gain enroute to 123 yards in the Bulldogs’ win against Weber State.

Breakdown: Bulldogs The Bulldogs come into their second game of the season against the Oregon Ducks after winning convincingly in their match last Saturday against Weber State.

With strong confidence, Fresno State will look to continue its success against a high-powered offense and a strong defense in Oregon. The ’Dogs’ offense was led by redshirt sophomore wide receiver Devante Adams and senior running back Robbie Rouse last week. Both look to get going quickly in their bout against Oregon.

Fresno State will have a tough time doing this against the Ducks’ defense. Although Oregon gave up 34 points to Arkansas State last week, it was still able to put pressure on the opposing team’s quarterback and forced a critical interception.

If the Bulldogs hope to win the game, the tempo of both their offense and defense needs to be quicker. Players like Rouse, junior

Arkansas State.

Of fensively, Ore gon far exceeds Fresno State in every skill position. Although most of the Ducks’ leading scorers are inexperienced (with Mariota only a freshman), each skill position is loaded with talent.

On the defensive side for Oregon, its size, speed and tempo will surely give the Bulldogs trouble as quarterback Derek Carr

1.) Minimize harm on defense The ‘Dogs play against the only Pac12 offense to average 40 points in consecutive seasons. Touchdowns will be scored. Big plays will be executed. The ‘Dogs have to control the frequency with which that will happen. If the defense can keep the Oregon offense from reaching its 40-plus point comfort zone, the Bulldogs offense should have a chance.

2.) Keep up with Oregon’s tempo Fresno State debuted its revamped nohuddle spread offense in last week’s win against Weber State. Freshman Marcus Mariota possesses game-breaking speed, but the ‘Dogs posses the more efficient, proven signal-caller. In what will likely be a shoot-out, Fresno State might need to rely on its reborn offense to match the scoring frenzies Oregon is known for.

will have to make plays a lot faster.

Senior Michael Clay and sophomore Derrick Malone will bring speed and physicality to the Ducks’ linebacker corps.

Oregon’s secondary is very dangerous with sophomore cor nerbacks Ifo Ekpre-Olomu and Troy Hill, who collected six tackles last week. The speed at which the Ducks play is surprising because the defensive line averages 6’5” or higher.

Fresno State will have to utilize its speed and versatility on the offensive line if it hopes to thwart the Ducks’ defense.

Oregon will be able to win the day if its young players can play up to their expectations. However, if the Ducks’ defense falters and the offensive threats in Mariota and Thomas experience second-game jitters, this weekend’s matchup could be closer than expected.

3.) Play with ‘fanaticism’ What’s the best way to beat a speedy, athletic Oregon team? Beat them at their own game. Arguably, one of the most fast-paced offenses in the NCAA, Oregon ran 96 plays against Arkansas State last week. If Fresno State manages to execute plays around that neighborhood, they have a shot.
