The loss to San Diego State has brought outrage by Fresno State fans who are looking for answers.
The Bulldogs dropped their second straight game, this time losing to the Aztecs 26-23 at Snapdragon Stadium on Saturday night.
Fans were quick to social media to voice their displeasure with the latest outcome, which saw another slow start.
Fresno State fans are blaming offensive coordinator Josh Davis for the problems.
Tomorrow morning Fresno State needs to fire Josh Davis and that meeting should be live-streamed for the entire valley to see

The Bulldogs trailed 13-0 before taking the lead 17-16 before surrendering the lead.
@bt_juice_pod The only truth out there is that this is typical Fresno State football. The team will always be like this.

Does the questions start to rise if Fresno state should move on from coach Matt Entz! Or it’s time for him to replace coordinators #fresnostatefootball

Fresno State will head into its bye week searching for answers after opening the season 2-1.
The Bulldogs kept pace with Boise State before falling 38-31, then suffered an unexpected loss to San Diego State despite entering the game as favorites.
The bye week comes at a crucial time for head coach Matt Entz and the Bulldogs, who will look to address their slow starts and find ways to get the team firing on all cylinders earlier in games.
One of the most pathetic losses in Fresno State football history. I mean wowRecord low intelligence all over the field tonight. Absolute 2022 UConn and 2025 Colorado State loss vibes. There has to be some long term affect on the program because of this
