This time, it was all Fresno State, and fans are taking note.
The Bulldogs learned a lot in the big loss to USC last week; now Sacramento State just found out how angry Fresno State was after a 39-0 loss to the Trojans.
Fans on social media had plenty to say about the lopsided game that took place at Valley Children’s Stadium. Fresno State won 49-3.
Fresno State just absolutely toying with Sacramento State that play call was uncalled for little disrespectful

I just watched Fresno State make a 51 yarder. We can’t have anything nice.
