'Dogs always have trouble with Aggies
By Richard James
DC Sports writer
8-8-1 series record against Utah
When the Fresno State football
team travels to Logan, Utah Satur¬
day for a Big West Conference
matchup with the Utah State Ag¬
gies, they will be racing a team
close to a transition phase.
Utah State head coach Chuck
Sheltonconfirmed earlier this week
he will resign at the end of this
season, a decision he said he made
in December.
"I felt (the president of UtahState
Dr. StaWordCazier) that! they were
not prepared to do the things
needed for continuity in the pro¬
gram," Shelton said.
"I felt it was time to leave. It
doesn't matter if we were 8-1 or 1-
8."
The game will be a tough one for
the Bulldogs, as they have always
had problems with the Aggies (1-6
overall, 1 -2 in c onference).
This is evident in the83-l series
record. Utah State has won six of
eight games in Logan against FSU.
The Bulldogs will, face a good
offensive unit, led by quarterback
Ron Lopez.
He has completed 49 percent of
his passes (113 of 229) for 1,649
yards and 10 touchdowns.
Lopez has also thrown nine in¬
terceptions.
Although having an off year,
running back Roger Grant is lead¬
ing the Aggies in rushing.
"Roger's had some injuries, in¬
cluding a knee injury he's playing
with and a broken hand. We've
also had a couple key injuries in the
offensive line," Shelton said in ref¬
erence to Grant's off-season.
Grant has rushed for 482 yards
on 114 attempts and one touch¬
down for an average of 4.3 yards
per carry.
Grant is the Aggie running game,
as fullbacks Floyd Foreman and
Chad Tigert have been ineffective,
averaging 12 and 23 yards per
carry, respectively.
v^The Utah State receiving corps
are a concern to FSU head coach
Jim Sweeney.
"Tzacey Jenkins is a great receiver
and we have to live with the mis¬
take of not recruiting him,"
Sweeney said.
Jenkins is second on the team in
receiving with 504 yards on 42
receptions and three touchdowns.
Rod Moore leads the team with
44 receptions for 725 yards and
seven touchdowns for an average
of 16.5 yards per reception.
Watch to'Dogs

gies at 11:00

Defensively the Aggies are led by
inside linebacker Del L y les.
He leads the team with 91 tack¬
les, 35 of those unassisted. Lyles
also has three sacks.
The Bulldogs are coming off a
strong showing against the Rebels
of Nevada-Las Vegas.
Redshirt freshman Trent Dilfer
made his collegiate starting debut
in that game and played impres¬
sively.
On the sea¬
son, Dilfer has
completed 75
percent of his
passes (21 of 28)
for 257 yards.
He has not
thrown a touch¬
down pass or an
interception.
