ROLLING WITH THE PUNCHES Fresno State won an instant classic against Boise State at Bulldog Stadium last year, 41-40. But the series, which will take a two-year regular-season hiatus, hasn’t always been competitive.

Both teams are fighting to keep their Mountain West championship hopes alive.

O

By Daniel Leon | @DanLeon25 n Friday, the Bulldogs will have an interesting challenge ahead of them, as they travel to a place where they haven’t won in 30

years.

Fresno State (3-4, 2-1 Mountain West) will look to retain the Milk Can Friday when it goes on the road to square off against longtime rival Boise State (4-2, 2-1 MW) on the famous blue turf.

Last year’s meeting between the two featured a thriller that came down to the last play, resulting in the Bulldogs edging the Broncos 41-40 at Bulldog Stadium. That put an end to Fresno State’s seven-game losing streak against Boise State.

It will also mark the 17th matchup in

the rivalry. Boise State leads the series 11-5 and is 6-1 when hosting. Friday’s meeting will also be the last time the Bulldogs and Broncos meet until the 2017 season.

“Boise Week is always a big week around here,” Fresno State head coach Tim DeRuyter said, “with [Boise State] being a conference opponent and being picked to win its side of the conference.

We know it’s going to be a difficult chore going up against a very well-coached and very talented team. We have to play more efficiently than we did last week in order to get it done against a really good Boise State team.”

Leaders discuss issues affecting Latinos nationwide

By Julian Paredes @HighDefJulian

Local and national Hispanic leaders, including California Congressman David Valadao, spoke to students Thursday morning in

the Fresno State’s Satellite Student Union as part of aCongressional Hispanic Leadership Institute (CHLI) hosted conference.

The discussions focused on jobs, immigration and other topics affecting the Latino community.

CHLI, founded in 2003 in Washington, D.C., is committed to “fostering a broad awareness of the diversity of thought, heritage, interests and views of Americans of Hispanic and Portuguese descent,” according to its website.

The organization invited re-

gional leaders to speak to Central Valley students – including politicians, business-owners and corporate managers.

A tentative contract agreement has been reached that would increase salaries and address workload concerns for California State University faculty.

The agreement with the California Faculty Association, the union that represents more than 23,000 within the CSU system, was announced Thursday in a news release.

“As we approach the next year with limited resources and increased expectations at state and federal levels for increased outcomes, we have this agreement as the foundation on which to build a bright future for our students who deserve the highest-quality education programs in the state,” said CSU Chancellor Timothy White in a news release.

The agreement, which would replace the current contract that expired in June, would be in effect through 2017.

Although the agreement faces two votes before it can be implemented – from the CFA membership and CSU board of trustees – it addresses several of the union’s sticking points involving salary and workload.

NOT NEARLY ENOUGH COFFEE Finger

By Troy Pope @darktroy

Coffee – the essence of life. It is your best friend in the morning; it always helps you start your day. After sunset, if you still aren’t close to finishing what you’re working on, coffee will be by your side there, too.

Sure, most people tend to think that water is more vital for life. I guess technically that’s true, but to simply live is not enough.

Coffee helps you to feel alive.

Most of us can’t find the time to eat breakfast, the most important meal of the day. It feeds our brains and gives us energy to help us set our pace for the day ahead.

trek up to the Starbucks in Fresno State’s Henry Madden Library.

Sure, the lines can be bad, but the reward might help you forgive them for not staffing that extra cashier. The fact that Fresno State, a college with more than 23,000 students and faculty, only has one option for coffee is dumbfounding.

To service the needs of all of those people, they put in a tiny little Starbucks in the middle of a library, a place that is supposed to be utilized for studying and research rather than a hangout.

You can probably find coffee in the University Student Union, but why can’t the school build a full-sized coffee shop in a prominent place on campus?

"Researchers discovered that participants who drank three to five cups of coffee per day had about a 65 percent decreased chance of developing Alzheimer’s disease or dementia later on in life."

— Men’s Fitness If you miss breakfast, it’s like driving an old car in the winter without giving it the time it needs to warm up first. You won’t be performing the way you would have if you’d given yourself the opportunity to get ready.

Our last salvation is that hot, black water that’s enriched with energy and magical flavor to help you get moving – coffee.

Researchers discovered that participants who drank three to five cups of coffee per day had about a 65 percent decreased chance of developing Alzheimer’s disease or dementia later on in life, according to Men’s Fitness.

As a college student, coffee can be your closest ally. Every day when you walk onto campus, you have the option to make the

Colleges are always riddled with endless construction, so why not build something the students would actually be excited about.

Students here don’t get excited when new phallic sculptures and nameplate signs at the college’s entrances are being built, but if you told them they’d be getting a full-service coffee shop, they’d be happy to deal with the noisy, eyesore construction.

I’m sure once Campus Pointe is finished construction, they’ll put in another Starbucks, but what about on the campus itself?

Or more diverse coffee options?

Fresno City College has two small places on campus that serve coffee, but one block south is the Tower District. There’s a

Starbucks, and better yet there’s also Cafe Corazón which has some of the best coffee in town.

Cafe Corazón roasts its coffee beans on site, and it’s a nice little hipster coffee joint you’ll be happy to return to. It actually has a coffee called Tweaker. High in caffeine, one smell of Tweaker will make you smile, and a cup will help get you through your day.

Students generally only have 15 minutes between classes. That’s not enough time to brave the lines that Starbucks has.

Plus, a full cafe experience would bring a feeling of belongingness to campus.

M o r e food and drink options only serve to help colleges and the people in them. I’m not saying that Fresno State should pay to build a Cafe Corazón on campus.

I’m sure everyone would be satisfied by a second Starbucks, but a fullsized coffee shop of some sort is desperately needed.

This campus is too big for only a Starbucks-ette.

Lunafest film festival comes to campus IN BRIEF

By Alena Slater

Special to The Collegian The Women’s Resource Center is hosting Lunafest, an annual feminist film festival, on Oct. 17 in honor of community member Carla Jo Dakin.

Dakin, who started this event at Fresno State, died in 2006 from breast cancer. Its mission is to spotlight the work of a diverse array of talented women filmmakers with “intelligent, funny and thought-provoking themes,” according to the festival’s website.

Lunafest, created by the makers of the Whole Nutrition Bar for Women, was established in 2000 with the goals of

supporting and nurturing the unsung work of talented women filmmakers. It also aims to raise funds and awareness for causes that help empower and give a voice to women from all walks of life.

“The films are so different.

They are meaningful, independent films that people have put lots of time into, and that everyone can, in some way, connect to,” said Jessica Adams, coordinator of The Women’s Resource Center.

This is Fresno State’s eleventh year hosting Lunafest.

“It creates an environment to learn about breast cancer and that it takes a lot of people to carry through the process and acknowledge everyone who

contributes to it,” Adams said.

Not only does Lunafest attempt to bring awareness, it also aims to raise funds for breast cancer research. For every dollar spent on film and raffle ticket sales, proceeds are split evenly between The Women’s Resource Center and the Breast Cancer Fund to fund further research.

Joury Robles, student organizer at the Women’s Resource Center, said, “It’s not just about breast cancer or women who face breast cancer; it’s about women who face different struggles, which allows more women to relate through the diversity in the films.”

Eight of the films can be previewed on lunafest.org.

IF YOU GO: WHAT: Lunafest hosted Fresno State’s Women’s Resource Center WHERE: North Gym Room 118 WHEN: Today at 6:30 p.m.

COST: $7 for Fresno State students (with ID) and $12 for general public at the door

Proposal includes higher faculty salaries CFA from Page 1 According to a news release, the new agreement will include: • A 1.6 percent salary increase for all CFA employees • An additional 3 percent increase for some temporary and tenure-track faculty • Salary adjustments for lecturers.

• An equity program pool of $2 million for tenure-track faculty.

• A $1.3 million pool to fund additional assigned time for faculty who provide exceptional levels of service to students.

• A $2.7 million pool to fund changes to instructional workload assignment for new probationary faculty.

CFA members held a rally at Fresno State Oct. 8 calling on President Joseph Castro to pressure the CSU administrators to adopt a new agreement. Both sides expressed cautious optimism that a new contract would be adopted soon.

However, Dr. Diane Blair, the CFA’s Fresno Chapter president, said, “Of course, we’ve been cautiously hopeful each time the bargaining teams have met these past 10 months.”

Graduate students set for first opera Music department faculty and students will perform their first full graduate performance Saturday

By Megan Ginise @Simplymeg13

Fresno State Opera Theatre will present its first full graduate performance in the university’s history Saturday in the Wahlberg Recital Hall of the music department.

The performance is “La Pizza Con Funghi” or “The Mushroom Pie,” by Seymour Barab.

Five graduate students from the music department have collaborated over the past several weeks to put on the full-fledged production, an opera that director and star Marielle Petricevich calls a “comedic opera full of witty jokes and situational humor that every college student will appreciate.”

“Mushroom Pizza” is a satiric, 50-minute, one-act comic opera by the late Barab who passed away at the age of 93 this past June. Some of Barab’s other works range from serious pieces, including “Philip Marshall” and “A Piece of String,” to operas for children including “Little Red Riding Hood,” “Snow White,” and “Cinderella.”

“La Pizza Con Funghi,” a lighter one-act piece, became one of Barab’s most notable work and has been performed throughout the world.

In 1998, the National Opera Association recognized Barab with a lifetime achievement award.

The opera is set in 19th century Italy and tells the story of four characters caught in a lovers’ quarrel with one another, full of miscues and witty humor which Dr. Anthony Bradford, professor of voice and opera at Fresno State, calls “not an artifact, but a living breathing association.”

“Opera is a combination of music, drama, artistry and design,” Radford said. “Although they created it 500 years ago to be this uber art, it’s all in one. It’s all shown here.”

The opera is not your typical opera; one scene in the production revolves around a stabbing with a pizza cutter.

“It is opera that makes fun of opera,” Radford said. “All of the crazy things that people think opera is—this is that opera.”

Another facet of the production is that it

“Because there are students enthusiastic about it, one thing we are able to do at Fresno State is that we can amass an orchestra of 80 people, or singers of 30 to 40 people, that often professional companies don’t have the money to pay to do that, since they are students, we can do bigger things.”

“Because there are students enthusiastic about it, one thing we are able to do at Fresno State is that we can amass an orchestra of 80 people, or singers of 30 to 40 people, that often professional companies don’t have the money to pay to do that,” Radford said. “Since they are students, we can do bigger things.”

Petricevich also commented on the attraction of “Mushroom Pizza,” which allows for students to see their peers perform in an English, short production that is ac-

cessible for all.

“Music goes across cultures,” Petricevich said. “It’s completely understandable from one culture to the next and expresses a lot about what a culture does and doesn’t do. Music influences culture and culture music.”

Tickets are $5 dollars and can be purchased online at www.fresnostate.edu/ artshum/music/concerts or at the door.

“La Pizza Con Funghi” begins Saturday at 8 p.m. in the Wahlberg Recital Hall.

Movie Review: Brad Pitt brings ‘Fury’ with Nazis, again

By Yvette Mancilla @yvette_mancilla

Another World War II film is upon us and once again it stars Brad Pitt. What, did you not watch “Inglourious Basterds”? Do so now.

The fictitious story brings us Pitt as Don “Wardaddy” Collier, an experienced, hardened but passionate U.S. Army sergeant in charge of the Fury, a Sherman tank and its five-man crew fending off the last of Nazi Germany’s attacks on the eastern front. Although outnumbered and isolated from any other Americans, the men face a heroic mission deep behind enemy lines.

The crew has had a number of years with Wardaddy fighting the Germans together and, despite the dangerous, unnerving battles they go through, this war is as sad but hopeful as their mantra, “Best job I ever had.”

Gunner Boyd “Bible” Swan (an impressive Shia LaBeouf), loader Grady “Coon-Ass” Travis (Jon Bernthal) and driver Trini “Gordo” Garcia (Michael Pena) fight, kill and laugh together in their tough situation. From the beginning of the film to the end, the actors in their small, working space

inside of a tank provide the audience with a glimpse of how flawed these characters have come to be.

Their morals on murder and war are revisited when innocent rookie Norman Ellison (Logan Lerman) joins the tough group.

Ellison holds a moral mirror up to the crew, but as events unfold the crew in turn cracks the mirror as Ellison gains perspective of what war is capable of doing to men and hardens as a result himself.

Writer and director David Ayer (“End of Watch”) is able to give the viewer the abrupt, direct effects of war instead of a glossy, stylized one—this is no “Pearl Harbor.” Ayer’s intense immediacy to the men’s characters and their feelings in life and combat is a tough directing feat to accomplish without being over dramatized.

Pitt, who is able to bring a wave of emotions to a tremendous role, is in acting heaven with Wardaddy (Brad Pitt) and other soldiers in Columbia Pictures’ “Fury.” the other four.

REVIEW

By Troy Pope @darktroy

As the temperature begins to fall, it brings relief to those in Fresno who suffer heat 6 to 9 months out of the year.

Perhaps you’ll choose to go camping with your friends or just have a bonfire somewhere in town. Either way, some nice cold-weather stouts will be a good addition in any event.

Stouts are dark, thick and full-bodied. You can enjoy them any time of year, but they’re better when the weather is cool and the sky is gray.

People used to lagers and light ales might not know what to think of these dark brews, but expanded horizons bring expanded options.

Coffee Milk Stout

   There are many stouts that taste like coffee. Often referred to as breakfast stouts because of their early-morning coffee flavor, these beers can be enjoyed any time of day.

Stone Brewing Co. isn’t known for its stouts, in fact,

Stouts are now in season

most of the beers you’ll find with its label are IPAs. Regardless, this brew is quite tasty. It pours with a nice lightbrown foam at the top. A drink of this might fool you into thinking you’re drinking an iced coffee from Starbucks but with carbonation.

This beer is very easy to drink. Perhaps it’s because of the nature of its flavor, or the fact it’s only 4.2 percent alcohol by volume. Either way, this beer is a nice diversion if you’re looking to have just a single glass of beer.

This incredibly popular beer gets its name from the way it uniquely targets your senses. Make sure you pour this beer into a glass before consuming it. The aroma of the beer smells sweet like marshmallows, and has a chocolatey flavor gives you the overall experience of enjoying s’mores by a campfire.

This beer caters to beer enthusiasts and casual beer drinkers alike. It’s meant to be enjoyed slowly. With every drink you take, you should breathe in through your nose to take in its scent while enjoying the flavor. Each sip is an experience.

High Water puts graham crackers right into the mix

This beer is a behemoth. It’s darker and thicker than any of the others previously mentioned. It isn’t for everyone, but many refer to this beer as “world class.”

Generally if you’re ordering this beer in a bar, you’ll be greeted by a shiny black and silver can. Oskar Blues is one of the best brands you’ll find exclusively in cans.

While its flagship beer is Dale’s Pale, a pale ale that mops the floor with household names like Sierra Nevada, Ten Fidy will knock you off your feet.

Weighing in at 10.5 percent ABV, once this beer is poured into a glass, it’s so dark that no daylight shall pass through.

You will know you’re drinking a heavy beer, but its taste of chocolate, caramel and coffee will make it one you appreciate.

It isn’t always easy to find, but sometimes in Fresno you’ll find it on store shelves and in bars. So if you see it available, order it. But make sure you know it’s probably your final beer of the night.

Leaders seek to inspire next generation of leaders LATINOS from Page 1

Darlene Wendels • The Collegian

Rep. David Valadao was among several national and local leaders who came to Fresno State Thursday to discuss issues affecting Latinos.

sional District, expressed the importance of giving young Latinos positive role models as they begin their professional careers.

“Today is more of a conference for giving positive examples for someone to look up to and an example of someone who has succeeded in the world from Hispanic backgrounds,” Valadao said.

He noted that he, and many other Latino leaders in attendance, shared the same upbringing as the students in attendance.

“My parents are immigrants,” Valadao said.

“We’ve struggled ourselves with language barriers and with a poor upbringing. And then we’ve been pretty successful, and that came from a lot of hard work.”

It’s a message that resonated with Maria Laguna, a senior at Taft Union High School. Laguna immigrated with her family to the Central Valley from Jalisco, Mexico when she was t3 years old.

She said that seeing successful Latino leaders in her community is an inspiration for her.

“This is a wonderful thing for us,” Laguna said.

“Especially because I’m an immigrant. So, this is actually really inspiring for me to be able to see that you can make it.”

The theme of the conference was “Explore your world, discover your future,” and it included a professional panel that gave students tips for developing leadership skills.

Pastor Magana, also of Taft Union High School, sought tips to develop his public-speaking skills from the panelists.

“I hope to be an orthodontist in the future so there are skills that I need for the future,” Magana said. “I need to be a stronger speaker for that.”

Laguna echoed the importance of being able to speak in public as a professional.

“I’m a terrible speaker,” Laguna said. “So, I’d like to learn how to improve my speaking skills and how to be able to communicate thoroughly and not stutter as much as I usually do.”

“I see myself as a psychologist, and you need to have really good communication skills in order to tell people what to do and help them with their problems,” he said.

Fresno State President Joseph Castro said that teaching the next generation of leaders is one of the biggest priorities of his administration.

“I love these opportunities to both share what we’ve learned as well as hear the dreams that [students] have, and I fully expect that they’re going to do even better than what we have done in this generation,” Castro said. “Each generation builds on the previous one.”

Castro said that he went to professional conferences during his college career and was inspired by the professionals he spoke to and connected with.

“I remember coming to events like this and meeting people who have done incredible things and that was a real inspiration for me, and it gave me a sense of a road map for my future,” Castro said.

“It’s the reason why I’m at Fresno State,” Castro said. “The primary mission, in my view, of universities, is to educate the next generation of leaders.”

CHLI provided students information regarding internships in Washington, D.C., at the conference, and Univision 21 also provided students with information about career opportunities.

The ‘Dogs finished their 2013 campaign with a 22-11 record and a victory over the Colorado State Rams in the Mountain West Tournament.

During the offseason, former Fresno State head coach Raegan Pebley left for the same position at TCU. Jamie White, former head coach at Northern Colorado, was hired last April to lead the ‘Dogs.

The Rams were picked to win the conference, with Boise State coming in second. Wyoming took the third spot in the rankings.

“It’s not where you are picked at the beginning, it is where you finish at the end that is important,” White said.

“Schools are picked based on who they have coming back and where they finished the year before.”

Senior forward Alex Sheedy was selected to the Mountain West women’s basketball preseason all-conference team. She is on track to be the 22nd Bulldog to score over 1,000 career points; she has 862 in her first three seasons.

She averaged 16.3 points in eight conference games (12.7 points for the entire year), despite missing half of Mountain West play with a foot injury.

“I think Sheedy is hands down one of the best players at her position in the Mountain West,” White said. “With her size, athleticism and ability to score, she is definitely going to make an impact in the Mountain West this year.”

Soccer: ‘Dogs return home for twogame slate With the Fresno State soccer team returning home beginning tonight, its chances of a Bulldog Stadium victory are positive.

Both teams the Bulldogs are facing have not beaten them.

The first contest – tonight against the Wyoming Cowgirls – is the first such game at Bulldog Stadium. All time, Fresno State is 2-0-1 over the Cowgirls, with all three matches taking place in Lara-

mie, Wyoming. Their last contest ended in a scoreless double-overtime draw.

Wyoming finished last season in seventh place at 4-4-2 in conference play.

Now, it is in second place at 5-1. The Cowgirls won their first two Mountain West games over Nevada and UNLV and are currently on a three-game winning streak after beating Boise State, Colorado College and Air Force.

The Colorado State Rams, the Bulldogs’ opponent on Sunday, are in their second season after a 2-13-3 finish in their inaugural year. So far, they are 2-4 this season and will visit San Jose State tonight.

Men’s Tennis: ‘Dogs begin ITA tourney today The Fresno State men’s tennis team will compete in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Regional Championship tournament this weekend beginning tonight. Stanford’s Taube Tennis Stadium will serve as the 2014 Northwest host site.

After competing in four tournaments this fall, the Bulldogs look forward to the five-day tournament hosted by Stanford University.

“We’re really looking forward to competing in the Northwest Regional this weekend,” said Fresno State coach Evan Austin. “The guys have put in a ton of work on and off the court, so it will be good to see where we stack up against some of the nations top teams.”

The ITA’s Northwest region features 15 schools: Fresno State, Stanford, California, Eastern Washington, Gonzaga, Oregon, Pacific, Portland, Portland State, Sacramento State, Saint Mary’s, University of San Francisco, Santa Clara, UC Davis and Washington.

Fresno State will be sending Adam Glynn, Youssef Hassan, Jakob Keppelmann, Eric Komati, Euan McIntosh and senior Sai Kartik Nakireddi.

The tournament begins today with the first two rounds of singles. McIntosh will start at 10 a.m. against the No. 9 seed, Ilya Osintev of Santa Clara. Glynn will take on Roy Brandys from Sacramento State at 12:30 p.m. The first round of doubles will begin on Friday when Hassan and Komati will compete against Gonzaga beginning at 8:30 a.m.

Fresno State’s losing streak continues as it heads to Boise BULLDOGS from Page 8 VanHoff gave the Bulldogs problems all night long, as the Aggies outblocked the ‘Dogs 16-0. USU kills leader Rachel Orr continued to deliver strong spikes with a game-high 16 kills. The Bulldogs, meanwhile, finished with 24 attack errors and just .078 hitting.

The ‘Dogs’ only lead of the first two sets came when they scored the match’s opening point to take a 1-0 lead in the first frame.

After two lopsided sets, the lead in the third set never grew greater than three points and needed to go past regulation to decide the outcome. Bowens and Murdock combined for 12 kills in the set, but the Bulldogs fell just short after 18 ties and seven lead changes. The Bulldogs defended two Utah State match points and had their chance to extend the game to a fourth set

with a 26-25 set point. Instead, Orr tied the game for Utah State with a kill, and backto-back errors by Fresno State closed out the sweep with a set score of 28-26 for the Aggies.

The loss is the Bulldogs’ third straight, all of which were sweeps. The third set of Thursday’s game was the only set among the three games to finish with a margin of fewer than eight points.

The Fresno State Bulldogs fall to 6-15 on the season and 1-6 in conference play, which lands them in 10th place in the Mountain West standings. Fresno State finishes its stretch of four straight road games with a matchup at Boise State on Saturday.

The game will tip off at 1 p.m.

The ‘Dogs then return home for games on Oct. 23 and Oct. 25 versus San Diego State and UNLV, respectively.

Former Fresno State quarterback Derek Carr (4) attempts a pass during the Bulldogs’ 41-40 victory over the Boise State Broncos at Bulldog Stadium on Sept. 20, 2013.

BOISE STATE from Page 1 The Broncos display some new faces this year at quarterback and head coach. Bryan Harsin is in his first year at the helm, taking over for former head coach Chris Petersen who left to take the head-coaching job at Washington.

Senior Grant Hedrick has stepped in at quarterback, succeeding Joe Southwick.

Hedrick has passed for 1,641 yards on the year and seven scores. He can serve as a dual threat player, as he ranks second on the team in rushing with 204 yards and two scores.

Now in his fifth season with the Bulldogs, senior free safety Derron Smith is among those that has plenty of experience when playing the Broncos, whether it is at home or on the road. Boise State has been one of the top squads in the conference, and Smith anticipates that this season is no different. “[The Broncos] always have a good team,” Smith said. “It doesn’t matter who they have at quarterback or who their coach is. They’re always going to have a solid team that’s disciplined and fundamentally sound, and they’re definitely going to play hard on that blue turf. It should be a tough game for us.”

An injury plagues Boise A season-ending injury in the receiv-

ing corps has left Hedrick and the Broncos without their top target. Senior wide receiver Matt Miller suffered an ankle injury a couple of weeks ago that caused him to miss the remainder of the year. The 6-foot-3, 220-pound Miller is one of the best wideouts in school history. He is Boise State’s career leader in receptions with 244 and ranks second and third for receiving yards and receiving touchdowns, respectively. He racked 28 catches for 461 yards and three touchdowns through five games this season before his year ended.

“Matt Miller is a great player,” Toth said. “It’s a shame and it’s sad to see him get hurt. He’s a great competitor and we’ve enjoyed competing against him the last couple of years. Obviously, losing a player like that hurts any offense.”

Among those looking to replace Miller’s production are junior Shane WilliamsRhodes and sophomore Thomas Sperbeck.

Even though Miller’s absence might give Fresno State’s secondary some relief, Toth said the Broncos have other players capable of making big plays and filling in the shoes of the injured receiver.

“His absence might hurt them a little bit,” Toth said. “But they’ll be fine. We still have to defend their passing game, because they have two other guys that are capable of replacing him.”

Headlining the Broncos rushing attack is running back Jay Ajayi. The junior has 709 yards and eight touchdowns on the

year while averaging five yards per carry.

He ranks second in the Mountain West with 118.2 rushing yards per game.

The 6-foot, 216-pound Ajayi is a big, physical ball carrier whose size and frame make him capable of gaining yards, even after contact. Toth said gang tackling is going to play a key role in his unit trying to slow down the Broncos’ potent run game.

“He’s a really good player,” Toth said.

“We have to tackle him. When we get first contact on him we have to down him and not let him get additional yards. We have to have a lot of guys around him to corral him and not give him a lot of room to operate.”

Living up to expectations In the preseason, both the ‘Dogs and Broncos were picked to win their sides of the conference. With each team already having a conference loss, they can’t afford to lose any more if they wish to remain in contention for a conference championship. Fresno State and Boise State currently stand in second place in the West and Mountain Divisions, respectively.

“We know that we have to win out,” DeRuyter said. “The last two years we won the conference, we lost a conference game.

But we don’t have that luxury right now since we’ve already lost one. We’re tied for second in the conference, and it’s still early in conference play, so I believe whoever wins or loses this game might separate

themselves from the pack.

“It’s a critical game for us, and to go on the road is going to be difficult. I think when our guys are pressed and backed into a corner, they’re going to come out fighting and I anticipate we’ll do that on Friday.”

Josh Harper is one of the few returning players who played a critical role in last year’s upset win over the Broncos. He hauled in two touchdowns from quarterback Derek Carr to help power his team over the conference rival.

Harper, a fourth-year player, recounts his experiences of playing against the Broncos as physical games. He said that the formula to beating Boise State typically requires one to play without making errors.

“We have to be ready for a dogfight,” Harper said. “We have to execute and we can’t make mistakes like we did last Friday because Boise State is a really good team and it might end up the same way [Friday’s game against UNLV] did if we keep making mistakes.”

“It’s always a physical battle,” he said.

“They’re going to be ready to try and knock us back off and keep their win streak going, and we have to be ready. We’re coming off a loss and we really can’t afford to lose again so we have to come out there prepared, ready to execute and be ready for a toughfought battle.”

This Mountain West showdown is set for 5 p.m. and can be viewed on ESPN.

Fresno State outside hitter Zana Bowens attempts a kill during the ‘Dogs’ 3-0 victory over the San Jose State Spartans on Oct. 4. The Bulldogs suffered a sweep to the Utah State Aggies Thursday in Logan, Utah.

The Fresno State volleyball team was defeated 3-0 on the road by the Utah State Aggies on Thursday. The Aggies took the three sets by scores of 25-13, 25-15 and 28-26. Junior outside hitter Zana Bowens led the Bulldogs’ efforts with 10 kills, and senior middle blocker Maci Murdock added nine more kills on .438 hitting.

Fresno State and Utah State were even at six points to open the first frame, but it was all Aggies for the remainder of the set. Utah State scored the next nine points on three kills from senior outside hitter Rachel Orr and four errors from the Bulldogs down the stretch.

The Aggies outscored the Bulldogs 18-3 reaching set point. The ‘Dogs rallied off four straight points until Utah State finished off the set. Fresno State had 11 errors and only six kills in the set, finishing with -.167 hitting.

The Bulldogs and Aggies played close again for a longer portion of the second set, but Utah State again pulled away with multiple scoring runs. Utah State held a 13-10 lead, but closed the set by outscoring the Bulldogs 12-5, including one run of four straight points and two runs of three straight points.

Fresno State had trouble countering Utah State’s top players. The Mountain West’s leading blocker, 6-foot-5 opposite side hitter Ellie Brainard and senior middle blocker Kaitlyn
