̢۪Dogs overtime effort falls short

Pat Hill and Fresno State made a big statement on Saturday in College Station.

Facing a 19-0 deficit at halftime, the Bulldogs showed resilience, pushing the No. 23 Texas A&M Aggies to triple overtime.

However, the end result would not favor the Bulldogs as they lost a heartbreaker 47-45 at Kyle Field.

“I have to give our kids credit for bouncing back,â€Â Hill said, whose record is now 10-20 versus BCS Conference teams in his coaching tenure. “They got in a hole in the first half, but battled back. We have a good young football team and hopefully we can learn from this.â€Â

The Bulldogs were only able to muster up 78 total yards of offense in the first half to go along with 5 first downs. The defense was dumbfounded by an option-oriented offense that gained 191 total yards in the first half.

The second half however was a different story altogether.

On the Aggies’ first possession of the second half, Fresno State linebacker Quaadir Brown sacked quarterback Stephen McGee and forced a fumble. This was a huge momentum change for the ‘Dogs.
