That doesn\u2019t mean that fans should give up on them halfway through the season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">After allowing 274 rushing yards, being outgained 512-346, and losing The Milk Can, 38-31, it can seem like the bleakest of days after a contest as there has been under Matt Entz, but the Bulldogs still have much to play for, and with a little help can still win the Pac-12.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Yes, Boise State would have to stub their toe twice with the Bulldogs losing anymore, but crazier things have happened. The Broncos do meet Oregon State later this season, who looks poised to become the third contender in the conference. And San Diego State might be healthy at the end of the season to give the Broncos fits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Nonetheless, the Bulldogs have San Diego State coming up, who were just lit up by the aforementioned Oregon State team, 66-14.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Then after a bye week, Oregon State comes to the Valley. After that the schedule sets up nicely for the Bulldogs. It\u2019s not out of the realm of possibilities that this team gets to 10 wins this season. And who knows, if Oregon State pulls off the upset over Boise State and the Bulldogs beat Oregon State, a three-way tie for the title would be a nice consolation prize to losing the Milk Can.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u201cWe just had a good conversation about the next one is the most important one,\u201d Coach Entz said after the game. \u201cIt\u2019s important to go 1-0 next week and that starts tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">As fans, we can follow his lead and be not only optimistic but also move past this loss so as to not let it spiral into becoming a bad season when so far, it has been pretty solid and can get better.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Kickoff for next week\u2019s contest with San Diego State will be at 7:30 p.m. PT and will be broadcasted on CBS Sports Network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Following their second loss of the season the Fresno State Bulldogs may have been seemingly eliminated from College&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":492758,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[13366,112,114,113,115,31258],"class_list":["post-492757","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fresno","tag-boise-state-football","tag-fresno","tag-fresno-headlines","tag-fresno-news","tag-fresno-state-football","tag-pac-12-football"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/492757","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=492757"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/492757\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/492758"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=492757"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=492757"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=492757"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
