Fresno State may have lost, barely, to USC, but they played damn hard. They made a few mistakes at the beginning of the second half, but even when USC crammed scores down their throats, they kept right on fighting and had a chance even down to the last 90 seconds. Oh well. Note to future USC opponents (UCLA, probably Texas): - watch tape from this game. It's the first game I've seen that someone really took it to USC and had a shot at winning without USC making a bundle of their own mistakes.
On the plus side, it will keep GT's win over Miami as the lead sports story from Saturday. Despite shooting ourselves in the foot a couple times and some absolutely attrocious punt return mistakes, we managed to win, of course because of our defense. I think it's a huge testament to Jon Tenuta that we stacked up against the number one defense in the country and managed to come out on top, holding Miami to something like 30 yards rushing.
It wasn't the best game we've ever played, but it's certainly one of our biggest wins in recent memory. I just wish we weren't such an inconsistent team. We lose bad to UVA one week, then go down to Miami and come out with a win. We get blown out by VT, give away a win to NC State, and yet manage to beat Auburn at Jordan-Hare. Go figure. One of these days, we'll beat FSU. Probably the week before or after we lose to a Div-II team. Now that's Georgia Tech for you. In any case, a good win, and it should improve our bowl situation.
