The Huskies are looking to win a record 11 games in one season. Fresno State beat two BCS conference schools this season. However, one month earlier on November 19th, Fresno State was slaughtered 51-0 on the Smurf Turf at Bronco Stadium. Can the Bulldogs rebound on the same field? Both teams are looking for a strong finish. The last meeting between these two schools was 1991. Fresno State won 51-7.
