I tried to stay up to watch this game, but didn't make it to kickoff.

Fresno State 38-UCLA 14.  Now the teams I saw last night is the team I had hoped to see in Minneapolis!

Marcus McMaryion 22/33 for 270   with 1 passing TD and 4 rushing TD's.
Jordan Mims 21 for 85.

Defense 2 fumbles recovered and 2 INT!

I think Minnesota might be better than UCLA this year.  Minn defense is currently in top 10 (but they played two weaker opponents in their other two games).

One thing for sure, our team was not under-estimating Fresno coming in, and it was important they weren't otherwise they would have looked like UCLA did.

I do think a lot of teams underestimate what they perceive as a "lesser" opponent -- and they often pay the price.  I definitely believe that the Golden Gophers brought their A game against FSU.  But one thing that may have helped against UCLA is that UCLA fans don't necessarily think FSU is a worthy opponent and may not have shown up.  It is also only a 4 hour drive from Fresno, so (at least in the past) a lot of FSU fans will travel.  I know it is not a substitute for good play, but having fans there to support you helps some college athletes -- and those U of Minn fans were impressive in their support of their team!!!

When pigs fly

I see Minnesota agreed to the home-and-home with Fresno.

Hopefully you have a lot of people graduating.  It will be another tough non-conference game.
